Seattle Defense and Peyton Manning


What about the pass rush?

What about the Legion of Boom?

Peyton Manning is not mobile, but he can deliver the ball.

Richard Sherman and the Legion of Boom will have their hands filled with the Denver Broncos Receivers and Tight ends.

Seattle is going to need to keep Peyton off the field.

Who will win the Superbowl?

I don't really even care this year.

The Niner Seahawks game just was over the top.

The refs got into that game early and they never let up.

Russell Wilson is a great qb, but he just doesn't seem like the Russell Wilson from last year.

He might show up big in the Superbowl.

Is Peyton Manning going to walk away from the game if Denver wins the Superbowl?

It will be an interesting match up between the Broncos offense and the Seahawks D.

Who do I think will win?

This year I could care less.

I have no problem with Lynch ( Oakland ) , Richard Sherman and Russell Wilson getting a ring.

Manning has been playing off the charts the whole year.

I just don't know what the deal is with the niners.

Wildcard Weekend Day 2

Did you really pay attention to the AFC Wildcard game on Sunday?  I really didn't care who won that one.  The Bengals ended up losing to the San Diego Chargers.  

I just noticed that the games were much closer this wild card weekend.  The Bengals turned the ball over too many times.  In the playoffs, you don't get a chance to make too many mistakes.

Phillip Rivers is a good quarterback and if you give him enough chances, he will get the job done.  The Bengals are a good young team, but they have been saying that for years.  If you start listening online, more people are starting to question if Andy Dalton can win in the playoffs.  They are also starting to talk about Marvin Lewis.  

The 49ers and the Packers was a good game, but again, this game should not have been this close.  Seems like most of the playoff games are coming down to the end of regulation.  

The 49ers were dominant in the first quarter, but they kept settling for field goals.  I don't know what the 49er play callers have against running the ball inside the redzone.  It made no sense to throw that many passes down there.  The score could have easily been 21-0 in the first half.

The Packers were not able to move the ball early, but they got it rolling when they were allowed to grab and hold like they worked for the wwe.  Eddie Lacy started slow, but kept on picking up steam.  He looked like he was ready to break a big run at some point.  The weather played a big part in this game.  Players were dropping due to injury.  I don't know how many Packer starters went down.  

The amount of no calls in this game was just amazing.  Aaron Rodgers was able to complete a pass after one of his offensive linemen put a choke hold on a 49er defender that had him in the grasp.   I guess the refs were looking at their shoes when the play was happening.  It turned into a big play that resulted in a touchdown.

The Packers seem to have a real problem dealing with Colin Kaepernick.  He was able to break contain on a number of plays that resulted in big yards and first downs.  The last drive was really a back breaker for the Green Bay Packers.  Green Bay really had a chance to end the 49er comeback, one of the defensive backs just couldn't hold on to an interception.

The Niners milked the clock and put up a game winning field goal to escape all the holding and no calls to leave the frozen tundra with a victory.

Wildcard Weekend Day 1

How did the Kansas City Chiefs lose the game?  It made absolutely no sense.  They had a huge lead.  Somebody should get fired for that one.  To be that far ahead and lose in the last few minutes is just crazy.  

I am not a big Alex Smith fan, but today he did his job.  He probably played the best game of his career today.  It must really sting to play that well and still get an L.  

There is really something funny going on with some of these nfl games.  In the past, a team would get a lead and put a team away.  Now, it seems like teams don't want to use the instinct to lock games down.  It is really strange.

The New Orleans Saints beat the Philly Eagles.  I didn't really care who won this game.  It was some good entertainment.  This was another baffling game.  The Eagles seemed like decided not to use their best option on offense ( DESEAN JACKSON ).  Sure the run game is good, but you need to get the ball into your play makers hands.  

The Saints really had a chance to put this game away, but they let the Eagles make a real game of it.  Turnovers did play a role in it.  The Saints really used some good time management close to the end of the game.  I saw the last play that the Eagles scored on and it just looked like the line was unbalanced, like the Saints wanted them to score with enough time left for them to come back.  The Saints proceeded to march down the field and drain the clock to kick the winning field goal.  The running game for the Saints showed up at the right time. 

Can't wait for the second day of wildcard weekend.
