Few thoughts on SB overall .. 1) Almost entire media said that safety changed the momentum of the game but i would like to differ..Denver stopped SEA for 2 FGs aftermath of that safety.. SEA offense failed to convert 2 possible TD drives if they would have then they would have up by 16-0 by end of first Q and overall score would have been around 50+.. 2) SEA defense is the best defense i have ever seen in my 10 yrs of SB watching history. For the record my first SB was Pats vs Panthers. That defense was relentless and they were in the face of manning all day. 3) Peyton getting the majority of blame - understandable but i thought denver offense on the whole were totally clueless on countering the relentless SEA defense. There wasnt a hole on SEA def for denver to exploit.. DL was bringing pressure and stuffed all run gaps. LBs were either rushing the passer or covering WRS and secondary blanketed denver receivers. It was like they figured out denver offense even before the game started. 4) manning is a great qb because he takes what defenses gives to him and also he changes protections and plays at LOS. Last night it appeared like SEA defenders knew what is coming even before the ball was snapped .. they were at right places at right time like they know mannings play book. 5) On Manning ints - 1st one i did not see but second one - Manning had 2 defenders on his face and he just looped the bal towards denver wr .. there was no air to the ball and clearly it wasnt his best throw.. that throw showed manning lost his power due to surgeries. 6) Denver adjusted well in second Q by going to quick and shorter throws but WRs disappeared in most important times..decker did not show. The long pass to JT in second Q was over thrown but another long pass to DT - DT couldnt get open at right time. 7) Percy Harvin jusytified his 1st rd trade by driving final nail in the coffin by taking kick return to home. This guy was non facotr all season and one game - the most important of all- he made all the difference. 8) Wilson had good numbers but all his TDs came in junk time when sea sealed the game.Personally i still have questions on his ability to lead the team with out a stellar def. 9) Last night denver perf told me how good 9ers team was..i mean against this def, 9ers came with in 1 min of winning the game and that playing at sea. 10) Denver became top offense only because they played weak AFC.. clearly they werent the best team.. if i rank them taking both AFC and NFC - i would put them at number 5.. behind Arizona. |
