Before the game, the husband was telling me that Peyton Manning was wanting to get back into the Superbowl to prove to himself he could still do it after being traded from the Colts. Um....
This isn't just Manning. Every facet of the Denver ball club has collapsed tonight, from the offense to the D to the coaching. An embarrassment.
Thats just not true. A 1/8th is going for $50 in the stores which is 55 Canadian dollars. Anyway, the Broncos fucking suck. I'm so happy I'm a Lions fan first. Congrats to Seattle. They looked like the real deal the whole year. When you consider the AFC as a conference, it was a down year as a whole. There wasn't one team that stood out. There were teams with good records, but non that appeared formidable like Seattle or San Francisco.
Manning didn't play well, but my god, give credit to the Seahawks front 4 instead of "LOL MANNING SUCKS IN BIG GAMES". He was bumrushed and never had time. The first pick was a bad throw and he missed some throws, but holy hell, they were in his face before he finished his dropback. And Moreno fucking quit on that pick 6. Just a miserable performance from all facets of the Broncos team. Also, Malcom Smith is the new Dexter Jackson.
Manning gets gifted a ridiculous cadre of receivers, a powderpuff schedule, and a walk past the injury-ravaged Patriots in the AFC championship game, and still can't put up more than a garbage TD in the superbowl. Greatest offense in history my ass.
The highlight of the party I was at was when the my friends' S/O started talking about HPV causing head and neck cancer in men when Michael Douglas was flashed on screen. That's about it.
The thing I took away from the game isn't that Manning sucks, or that they choked (and obviously they did), or that Seattle was a great team (they are). The thing I took away was that the spread offense isn't the way to go, that a pro style design with an effective QB is the best. When they passing game isn't working you have to be able to run. The other thing I took away was that all the most clever defensive schemes aren't preferable to a team that can man up and play tight man-on-man. Clever defenses are usually used to disguise weakness. If your D can go out there and get it done without too much design, you're doing it right. Denver is a sad Panda right now. I imagine weed sales will skyrocket tomorrow.
I got another letter from Dixie finally. Haven't read it yet, but when I get off work, I'll check it out and give you folks his mailing address
Quite interesting how everyone kinda forgot that their strength of schedule was weak as hell. They see a real defense and OMG. Not so great is it? Especially in a game where Eric Decker and D. Thomas were kinda playing for reputations/contracts.
i'm sorry, did anyone else see red when they announced "Bruno Mars FEATURING Red Hot Chili Peppers"? bitch please, I don't love RHCP, but I know that one of those "headliners", eclipses the other. RHCP is arguably one of the top bands of the last 2 decades. Bruno mars wins a few grammys and he's the hot pick? This is what baffles me about how they pick these artists,it's like they intentionally pick shit that most people don't care about. the people that watch the game, turn this shit off, since they couldn't care less, and the people watching the puppy-bowl tune in for this?? personally, i'd love to see a Foo Fighters halftime...
Am I the only one that had minor flashbacks to Streets of Fire during Bruno Mars' performance? Now, I'm not saying that a leather clad Willem Defoe would have made for a better performance........but it wouldn't have hurt either.
