General Discussion
In reply to the discussion: No team has EVER played that poorly in a Superbowl [View all]At least play as good a game as the 2nd year man on the other team. Manning was not the reason they lost (Seattle was like a buzz saw in all aspects of the game even the kick offs and coverage on them), but he was pretty bad. The Denver D had a credible 1st half digging out of the hole the offense and special teams put them in. They lost it in the second half with very poor tackling. Denver practically had the ball for the entire second half and ended up -7 on the scoreboard for that period of time (two drives combined for 11 minutes).
Broncos are an old team whose window is closing. Their gamble on Manning probably will not pay off. Now if they kept Tebow and had God on their side like Wilson and the Seahawks - well that would be a different matter (joke).
