Lynch TD.

Still early but Denver has to stop the bloodletting now.

by twelve283 Mon Feb 03, 2014 12:26 am

Outside of a couple of throws Wilson looking pretty good. Denver doing a good job against the run except the two Harvin plays.

by BamBam Mon Feb 03, 2014 12:28 am

If Chancellor is out that's a big loss

by GSC Mon Feb 03, 2014 12:29 am

First down for Denver. Should help settle them

by GSC Mon Feb 03, 2014 12:31 am

Thomas has an easy first down and runs backwards

by GSC Mon Feb 03, 2014 12:33 am

Broncos really working Seattle underneath so far.

by GSC Mon Feb 03, 2014 12:38 am

...oh dear

by twelve283 Mon Feb 03, 2014 12:38 am

Apart from two 3rd down run conversions that was just great D#.

by GSC Mon Feb 03, 2014 12:40 am

Seattle are playing fast and smart. Denver can't get anything going down the field

by GSC Mon Feb 03, 2014 12:42 am

Suspect he was down but this might be the nail in the coffin

by GSC Mon Feb 03, 2014 12:43 am

Yeah down. The life support stays on

Football can be depressingly predictable. Great defense beats great offense. Every time. Fact.

Now here's hoping the Broncos make me look stupid. Can anyone really see that happening though??

by Breadvan Mon Feb 03, 2014 12:45 am

Wonder what the mood is like in the bars around Colorado? Shocked

by GSC Mon Feb 03, 2014 12:45 am

Denver could use a power failure right now...

Its happened at Metlife before

by GSC Mon Feb 03, 2014 12:47 am

How many times do we see high scoring september offense get destroyed in the cold by physical D?

Beautiful catch by Thomas. Finally something deep

I think it's great to see a competitive D# in the modern NFL.

by GSC Mon Feb 03, 2014 12:48 am

Seattles O hasn't touched the ball in 10 minutes and the Seahawks are a net 7 points better

by Number-25 Mon Feb 03, 2014 12:49 am

Us neutrals so need a Denver TD here...

by GSC Mon Feb 03, 2014 12:51 am

If Colin Kaepernick and co can run 3 scores in 12 minutes, Denver and Peyton can. If Denver can score here, sure its been abysmal, but its only 2 scores.

Seattle get away with PI for 5678483th time

Oh don't get me wrong, so do I. The rules have been contrived over the last few years to favour offenses, especially the passing game so I don't mind seeing a defense smash them in the mouth.

On that note, let's not forget how good Denver's D has been today. Such a shame their O hasn't helped them out.

by Number-25 Mon Feb 03, 2014 12:52 am

Whys that not PI on Earl Thomas???

by GSC Mon Feb 03, 2014 12:53 am

I think Denver has to take points now.

by Number-25 Mon Feb 03, 2014 12:53 am

So what do you do here? Go for it on 4th down or kick a field goal?

by GSC Mon Feb 03, 2014 12:54 am

Seattles been getting away with PI on every play since last year. Its genius from Carroll and co.

Stupid call. Just take the points.

by Number-25 Mon Feb 03, 2014 12:55 am

My goodness that was a horrible 4th down play. They had a Seattle timeout to work out what to do there and that's what they come up with? A tough out throw?? Jeez.

by twelve283 Mon Feb 03, 2014 12:55 am

Seattle getting in Manning's face.

by BamBam Mon Feb 03, 2014 12:55 am

This feels over. Do I stay up in the faint hope that it's not

by GSC Mon Feb 03, 2014 12:56 am

Seattle needs to step on the gas here.

by BamBam Mon Feb 03, 2014 12:57 am

So who will get MVP based on the first half

by mikeygnfl Mon Feb 03, 2014 12:58 am

The Broncos are 8/1 to win with Totesport.

by twelve283 Mon Feb 03, 2014 12:58 am

BamBam wrote:So who will get MVP based on the first half

Seattle's DL should get it.

by GSC Mon Feb 03, 2014 12:59 am

Its been absolutely abysmal for Denver but on the bright side they still have 30 minutes left.

Started moving it somewhat, need to start chipping the DEs

If is was almost any quarterback other than Mannng I would go to sleep. Only Brady or maybe Brees could bring a tean back from this hole.

by Number-25 Mon Feb 03, 2014 12:59 am

BamBam wrote:This feels over. Do I stay up in the faint hope that it's not

Ah, the same debate every one of us is having just now. I wanna go to bed cos it really is over but I always feel that I should at least give it the first half of the 3rd quarter.

Coming back from 22 down to win the Super Bowl against a great defense though?? Doesn't happen.

by mikeygnfl Mon Feb 03, 2014 1:02 am

BamBam wrote:So who will get MVP based on the first half

Chancellor has to be favourite with maybe Russell Wilson in second?

by Number-25 Mon Feb 03, 2014 1:03 am

That's just it.... there's no one person stepped up. Been a defensive team effort. It's probably there for the taking for Lynch. One TD already and presumably Seattle will try to run it down Denver's throats in the 2nd half. If he can put up semi-decent yardage and bag another TD then it's his.

by **Good Golly I'm Olly** Mon Feb 03, 2014 1:03 am

Incredible incredible stuff from Seattle's defence so far, and the offence hasn't been shabby either!

Peyton simply cannot throw that second pick, has to take the sack there.

You feel Denver are gonna have to do what we did to them in Week 12. Shut out Seattle, force a few turnovers and get the ball moving on offence. Need pretty much a perfect half of football now

by Number-25 Mon Feb 03, 2014 1:04 am

Jeez. You think it can't get any worse...... and then Bruno Mars comes along.

by GSC Mon Feb 03, 2014 1:15 am

Actually pretty good by SB halftime standards tbf

by **Good Golly I'm Olly** Mon Feb 03, 2014 1:18 am

I don't mind Bruno Mars personally

by GSC Mon Feb 03, 2014 1:18 am

I get Seattles up big but it seems a tad cocky for Wilson to be doing the halftime show

by mikeygnfl Mon Feb 03, 2014 1:18 am

Well either the Seahawks have already won the Super Bowl or we are in for one of the greatest comebacks of all time.

by BamBam Mon Feb 03, 2014 1:19 am

Chancellor would be my choice for MVP so far, but it's up for grabs for sure.

Going to give the first few drives for something to change

by GSC Mon Feb 03, 2014 1:20 am

Was wondering when the first military reference was coming. Can't have a major American event without one

by BamBam Mon Feb 03, 2014 1:23 am

Thought that was pretty good!

by GSC Mon Feb 03, 2014 1:23 am

Peyton hasnt forced it downfield much yet. You get the sense that has to change, Seattles too fast playing downhill for that

by mikeygnfl Mon Feb 03, 2014 1:29 am

The biggest Super Bowl comeback is by a 10 point deficit. The Redskins did it against the Broncos in 1988 and the Saints did it against the Colts in 2010.

An offensive player only needs to make one or two key plays to win it.

by mikeygnfl Mon Feb 03, 2014 1:31 am

Great start for Seattle. Game over?
