Super Bowl XLVIII

[DarthFed]

Best way to stop a great qb is to pressure him without excessive blitzing. Seattle did a solid job getting pressure but the other part is that their secondary is ridiculously good. That defense is tough in many ways but the normal NFL defense needs to get pressure in the modern NFL. This makes the offensive line a big deal.

Manning has about 3 miliseconds to make a play. Wilson , on the other hand, was spotted BBQing on the field before throwing a TD pass. He had great protection today.

I'm sorry but that is just a typical idiotic analysis.

Wilson was getting swarmed in the first half. On most of his drop backs, he has been pressured. The difference between him and Manning is that he can actually move. He is mobile. Manning, on the other hand, is a statue.

Thanks Cali...what would i do without you?

One of my biggest pet peeves about NFL football talk is when people make a big deal out of the offensive line, one way or the other. It makes no sense in the modern NFL.

All fine and dandy but at some point you have to learn to differentiate between humor and in debt analysis. Hint, mine was humor.

At this point I was hoping for a historic rout, prob won't happen now.

Murat, you have to understand that I am a Steeler fan, and year after year I have to deal with hearing utter idiocy about how the Steelers don't have a good enough offensive line.

The fundamental problem of the team - that they have the worst wide receivers in the NFL by far - is never addressed. People just blame the line for every problem.

So year after year they draft more lineman, and yet the line mysteriously never gets better!

No one ever contemplates that if your receivers are all 5-9 and you don't have one tall receiver who can jump for high passes to catch through contact, you aren't with the program in the modern NFL.

Nope, it's all the line's fault (or Roethlisberger's, for sanely holding the ball and hesitating to throw it to receivers who are draped). Go Stillers!

May still happen... 35 pt lead. Chasing 46

And to think Seattle could have more than 43 points w/ 11:45 left in the game. They kicked 2 early FG's

2nd biggest beat down was the Bears 46-10 vs New England for their one and ONLY Super Bowl

 

[kskate2]

Yeah. I remember that game. Bears only shining moment in NFL history

46 pt domination with the 46 defense.

 

[DarthFed]

Only shining moment in the Super Bowl era KS

 

[kskate2]

Right. Because I wasn't born before the pre-bowl era.

It only took Denver 45 min to get on the board. :clap

45 in "football minutes."

Precisely Mox. 45 min on the game clock = 3 qtrs. :lolz:

Seattle takes over on downs...

 

[DarthFed]

When it rains it pours

 

[kskate2]

Awww. Sherman is leaving on a cart. At least he will get a ring anyway and look forward to next season.

Probably my favorite part of this Super Bowl has been watching Percy Harvin run, pure pleasure.

 

[kskate2]

FINAL: 43-8. Wow. Broncos never scored again. Congrats to dirty Pete and the Hawks on their 1st Bowl win.

 

[DarthFed]

43-8 and the sad thing is it wasn't as close as the score

It's going to be huge in my grocery store tomorrow. Most New Yorkers had no skin in that game, but we're never without an opinion. There will be a walk of shame through the seafood dept. for me. Luckily, I didn't bet money.
