One thing that I think Seattle D needs to work on is the no-huddle passing shotgun. SF very nearly won the game (or tied at very least) in the final drive with a series of no-huddle plays.
What does Denver specialize in? You guessed it - no-huddle plays. If Seattle can't adapt to that, I expect it to be a blowout against the Seahawks.
they worry about KAP taking off which is what kept the 49ers in the game, it has nothing to do with the no huddle offense, if you over-pass rush KAP he will take off .....he ran for 130 yards. Gore ran for 14 yards.
Seahawks defense doesn't have to be high scoring, they rely on the Defense and the run game. Seahawks offense scored 26 and 23 points on the Saints and 49ers defenses and without their best receiver Percy Harvin, who will play in the S.B.
Those 2 defenses are better than the Broncos defense or you on record here stating that the Broncos defense is in the same league as the 49ers and Saints?
I am on record as saying the Broncos defense shut down the Chargers and Patriots, two offenses that are better than the Seahawks.
the Seahawks offense is not as potent as either the Chargers or Patriots.
San Diego I'll give you, but the Patriots? Really?
Tom Brady is right up there with Peyton and others in the GOAT conversation, but, to call the Patriots offense "potent" is a Stretch. They are very good, but they were by no means potent in the AFC CG.
Gronk missed half the season, and still finished #3 in receiving yards, less than 100 yds behind #2. Once Denver botttled up Blount it was over.

shutdown???? Chargers scored 17 and the Pats 16, I hardly call that shutouts. Broncos max score was 26 points.
are the Broncos defense in the same league as the 49ers?.........if Seattle scored 23 points on the 49ers, what makes you think they can't score 23 or more on the Broncos defense?....especially with Percy Harvin playing in the S.B.

not only that, the Pats defense was depleted......I'm surprised they made it that far but it shows you how weak the AFC is.
i think the seahawks will win it with their defense. however, if it comes down to a close game late. peyton might just pull it out for the broncos. if harvin is playing in the super bowl, that could be a huge difference with his speed.
If the Seahwaks can score 23 points on the 49ers without their best receiver in Percy Harvin, what makes you think they can't score 23 points or more on the Broncos defense with Percy Harvin?

I agree.....we have to take into consideration special teams and turnovers and penalties.....those thing have an effect in games especially close ones.
whichever defense plays better and win the turnover battle will win the game.
I think the Seahawks are going to win it. They have been the best, most intense, most talented team in the league all year. They beat an excellent, well-coached Niners team twice this year. They twice beat the Saints. They played some damn good teams, who were no match. Richard Sherman brings it every game, and the Broncos are going to have a very difficult time overcoming him. The Hawk defense is going to be all over Manning.
I think the Broncos will be only slightly better than their 40-10 loss to the Hawks in the preseason. This game will be similar to the Hawks beating the Saints.
Broncos scored 24 pts. and 26 pts. in the playoffs against a depleted Chargers and Pats defense with a bad secondary.
Seahawks scored 23 points each against the 49ers and Saints defenses without their best receiver Percy Harvin. 49ers and Saints defenses are a top 5 best defenses in the NFL above the Broncos defense.
If Moreno can't run for 125 yards to take off pressure of Manning , I see the Hawks winning by at least 10 points.
