Interception now. Broncos are done. Peyton does not look sharp.

Bad omen on the very first play.

The team with NFL record for most points and most yards is going to lose today.

Calm down already. It's just the first half. Anything can happen.

I don't find this surprising at all. As I told people all week, Chancellor was going to be the best player on the field and Seattle's defense was going to make Peyton's life very difficult.

On the other side of things, Denver's Front 7 is excellent but their secondary is suspect. They're shutting down Lynch but Carroll's play calling in the passing game is giving them fits.

For sure Baron. That's 2 ill-advised throws that he cannot afford in a game like this.

Looked down to me as well. Sometimes the refs are slow to blow the whistle.

I think they will. Even if they don't get in the end zone. The last drive and this one should help their rhythm.

I can't believe they didn't take the points there. Awful decision out of the TO.

I have a feeling that Broncos will do very well in the fifth quarter.;)

Nah that is definitely the right call to go for 7. It is a 3 possession game down 19 just like down 22.

I was reading in a preview of the match that we all should not even come 5 minutes late
for the game. Apparently, this was because we will miss a touchdown scored by explosive
Broncos. Funny.

Seattles offense is the biggest surprise IMO, as great as Manning is he was never gojng to tear this defense up or even come close. The turnovers blew it open though.

I agree. Actually, these decisions are not even made in realtime by the coach after thinking.
They have a chart designed by resident statisticians that tell when to go and when not to go.
They just look up the chart and decide.

I would normally agree w/ that, but for momentum and confidence sake they needed to stop the skid. This is the last game of the season afterall.

Disagree mate. Important to get on the scoreboard from a psychological point of view and they'd go in for HT on a semi-positive note. If it was in the third quarter I'd agree with you.
