I liked it whenever the camera panned on Peyton. The look of bewildered frustration was worth watching the whole thing for. You know Eli is happy. I think Eli must have rubbed Peyton's head before he ran out of the tunnel or something.

Rumor has it that there's gonna be a really good supply of "like new" never worn Denver Bronco Super Bowl 2014 Champion branded t shirts and caps coming to a Goodwill near you

Denver played like they were huddling around a community bong before every play.

It was absolutely the worst I have ever seen. Even worse that 1974 at Rice stadium, in Houston I attended that one and I believe it was not sold out.

Broncos----second place in the SB Yeah, but the Seahawks were next to last.

The occasional view of Mr. Ed up in the owners box was priceless.

The game only sucked if you are a whiney Bronco's fan. How does crow taste for breakfast?

Or you could say it was only worth watching if you're a Seahawks fan. Worst SB game I've seen. Broncos clearly weren't ready, and IMHO, that goes to coaching. Their short passing game wasn't working, and they had nothing else, couldn't adjust.
Whereas the Seahawks saw the Broncos loading up to stop the run and had a good answer for it, end-arounds.
Plus, Russell Wilson looked like the old pro, Manning sure didn't.
A wise man is frequently humbled.

It must have been pretty tough on John Elway sitting up in that box looking down. I thought maybe they'd put him in (in the context of anything would be better than what they were doing).
My favorite commercial was the Bruce Willis one. He starts out: "Great game..." Clearly this was taped before the actual game.
Unfortunately, I agree with the poster a few pages back - I was disappointed Denver scored at all.

Manning is good when he has time and patience to read the various looks of a morphing defense. He is simply better than they are at knowing what they will do.
Seattle does not play defense in that manner. They show the same 1 or 2 looks the entire game, and don't put plays in motion until after the snap. That took away the only thing that Peyton has ever been really good at.
Denver's coaches did not adjust their playcalling either--the short middle passing game was available for most of the night. Instead of going into a very quick no-huddle and taking what was available over and over, they kept Peyton in there trying to dissect the defense (when there is nothing to dissect in Seattle's defense).
Seattle's offensive play calling was just right--just enough to get it done and take what Denver would give them.
Russell Wilson is the real deal--he'll be around for a long time getting just enough done when necessary to win.

It was over on the first play of the game. My SIL is a big Dallas fan, but really likes Peyton Manning. I explained my dislike of Manning to him. When Landry popularized the Shotgun formation, the Officials pretty much used the the rules for the old single wing formation as far as movement allowed by the QB. Then Manning comes along with all his shucking and jiving prior to the snap, which put the Defensive linemen at a disadvantage as far as getting off the line, and the ref allowed it. So....... I thought that first play was Karma. I have no love for Seattle, but if Denver was destined to get beat, I'm glad it was a real humiliation.

Gotta wonder why Denver didn't kick the field goal on last possession first half. Almost as bad a decision as Bruno Mars. WTF!

Reminds me of the shellacking Chicago laid on New England back in 85. 55-10 I believe it was?
Correction....46-10 Niner's 55-10 over Denver in 1989. Yep, XXIV

It was a huge success. Everyone that was supposed to make money did. At your collective expense. I don't partake of the koolaid.

Peyton Manning is a class act and one helluva of a stats QB. But QB's are judged by Superbowls. Marino? Elway? Jim Plunket? Explain that one!!!

If you're just a football fan, it was among the worst.

Denver just got out played the whole game and like they say, turn overs will kill you . Denver made to many screw up from the start to the end . The real winner in this game was Vegas on the point spread .
