Official Super Bowl XLVIII thread

[MAD]

Kinda crazy that 2 former Pac-12 coaches, coach the 2 best teams in the NFL.

I didn't know that Jim Caldwell coached in the Pac-12

I know. Peyton is never to blame. Best O line in NFL, best WR corps, best overall offense. But nothing is ever Peyton's fault.

Peyton is to blame. I love the guy, favorite all time player, pull for him like crazy whenever he plays. But he is what he is in the biggest games..... he chokes. Game reminds me of the '96 Florida game when he threw 4 first half picks. Hope he and the Broncos find a way to pull off the greatest comeback in SB history. Hate that it looks like he's gonna lose this game.... the Peyton haters like Cowherd are gonna be out in full force tomorrow.

I guess you didn't watch Denver this season. They had the best O line in the NFL. Anything to keep the blame off of Peyton. Why is it that you cannot be a Peyton fan and be critical of him at the same time?

Why can't you read my posts where I put blame on Manning?

Guess you aren't watching this game either. The line is getting owned.

???

He has more 4th Q comebacks than anyone else? In the 06 AFCCG they were down 21-3 amd came back to win.

He is more than capable. Of bringing this team back. I have my doubts though.

the way both Seattle's O and D are playing I don't see it happening even if PM goes off

 

[BigOrangeTrain]

So weird how some many Vol fans feel the need to trash Peyton.

So stating the obvious is trashing him?

 

[theutvolunteers]

receiver was at least 10 yards away; ball didn't make the line of scrimmage. Oh well, agree to disagree. Wouldn't make a big difference

Would not make a difference, but I thought the receiver was much closer. No way the ball crossed the LOS, but I didn't think it had to if a receiver was nearby.(?)

The oline is getting owned amd its throwing Manning off. The "blame" goes across the board.

 

[MrBiggles]

The whole Denver Team has played BAD, BAD, BAD! Seattle has beaten them all over the field. They have outplayed Denver on both sides of the ball.. Denver needs to get them 3 and out and then score a TD to even keep this game close. It looked like Seattle came out to play and Denver didn't!

 

[MyBloodRunnethOrange]

I don't think I've ever seen an offensive line get owned like this in a Super Bowl.

Yeah, the Cowboys killed the Buffalo O-Line.

No . . . but my God you're repetitive.

The ole ball coach is laughing his ass off.

Spurrier probably couldn't care less about any of the individual players in this game...unless there are some South Carolina or Florida players that he coached in it.

it was at least 10 yards. Ball doesn't have to cross line if player is deemed close enough - my quibble is with the latter part but it's no big deal

 

[volinbham]

No crap.

The whole team has been playing terrible in general. I am glad the defense played decently or the score would likely be about 36-0.

 

[IluvdoubleD's]

Here's what I think. Seattle has been running around wearing themselves out like sea chickens with heads cut off. I think a bunch of old guys with something to lose and a lot of experience are about to teach some young energetic bully's how to play the long game.

 

[volinreallife]

This game is very much in reach. The Oline needs to step up and work, along with Moreno hitting the bench.

Defense needs two stops and this is a game.

 

[TrueOrange]

Ball being tipped

Cleared that up. I thought we were talking about the 4th down play.

Yeah, you can watch Manning's feet and tell what's going to happen. If his feet set, he's deadly. If he gets forced to drift in the pocket or scramble, the accuracy falls way off.

:yes:

and so I don't get attacked, Peyton is part of the whole Denver Team and thus played BAD, BAD, BAD

 

[BadJerry20]

I didn't know that Jim Caldwell coached in the Pac-12

I didn't know he was an NFL caliber coach.

Agreed. The whole team is playing like garbage.

It's like you've never watched Seattle play before.

They do this the entire game.

 

[volinbham]

After Aerosmith, Tom Petty (one of the best shows), Prince, Beyonce, etc. I'm wondering why we have these guys as the half timers

So stating the obvious is trashing him?

If it is the obvious, why does it need to be stated? What would the motivation be? Talking just for the sake of saying something?

 

[govols105]

i am watching the naked gun 2 1/2 til the game starts back up. that half time show minus red hot chili peppers is garbage.
