And one more time for those of us from Buffalo:

"I ******* hate Super Bowls."

Re: OK, One more time, all together now...

Because I'm sure they would have made the playoffs and won the Superbowl with Trent Edwards at QB.

Yeah, no matter how hard the NFL tries to make it like Arena Ball, defenses find a way to adapt and overcome. I love defense and I loved this game.

Oh, and Peyton Manning, Peyton Manning. Bwahahahahahahaha.

Defenses win Championships, Quarterbacks get you there.

I'll buy that. Hopefully EJ is our guy. I think this defense is competent enough to make the playoffs and be a force. It's the anemic offense that can't keep our defense off the field that is killing us.

I agree that D wins the hardware... but this was one of those unique years where a D completely carries a team... like the 1985 Bears, 1986 Giants and the 2000 Ravens.

Saying Russell Wilson won the SB is the equivalent of saying Trent Dilfer won the SB for the Ravens in 2000. He received the ring in a gift box from his D.

I like Wilson but lets get visit reality concerning the Seahawks key to victory.

Wilson could be on the same level as Flacco and Eli...decent QB's that play well when their defense is strong, not so well when it isn't. Seattle's defense has been one of the best in Wilson's tenure, so we'll have to see.

Ozzie Newsome just called, he thought so at one point also, but now he's second-guessing himself.

I told everyone I work with three weeks ago to enjoy the NFC Championship because it was going to be the defacto SB...

Russell Wilson did not win it for them no. But outside of that first pass, he played really really well. His throws were on the mark bullets. He is more than a game manager, IMO. If the D even had an average game, Wilson played well enough to pull it out yesterday

Re: OK, One more time, all together now...

He made some plays on 3rd down to extend some drives and don't turn the ball over. Wilson is a ballet don't get it twisted. At one point Seattles average start was like the 43 yard line. So the stats aren't going to be ridiculous.

That said, you can't make a game any easier for th QB. Start with a 2-0 lead 12 seconds in. Peyton hits Chancellorndeep on the next possession. Then the pick six. Harvin then closes the game on the opening kick of the second half.

Wilson didn't have to do much but that's not his fault.

Side note, you have to hope the Bills D make a true leap next year. Seattle dominates with physicality and a great pass rush. I truly believe he bills D is a piece or 2 away from being a defense that can control games week in and week out.

Need to make sure the offense isn't a 3 and out machine again to help them as well.

Re: OK, One more time, all together now...

The bronco fans didn't travel that was 80-20 in favor of the Seahawks! Well done Seattle!! It was defense, special teams and offense that win it! Everything went seattles way. Sometimes it happens hell it happened against the bills in the Super Bowl too.

Re: OK, One more time, all together now...

Like the rams in 2000? Or the patriots in 2002/04/05? Colts in 2007 or lmao saints in 2010?

[Novacane]

Re: OK, One more time, all together now...

Dominating defenses win championships and those aren't easy to build. We see one every decade or so. You have to get lucky finding players in later rounds that turn into stars like Seattle has. Unless you have one of those you better have a good QB or you won't get to the SB.

Seattle's DBs are lightning fast and hit like a pickup truck....
