Yes, really. I don't know what "acting" you are referring to, but I do like the aggressiveness their DB's have. You call it dishonest, I call it aggressive. The game is football and I would rather the professional team I cheer for cross the line a bit than lose passively and say, "Well hey, we are done in December every year, but at least we didn't hold a receiver and get away with it."

I got to the bolded part then my ADHD kicked in and I needed to go play flappy birds on my phone.

I only wish the Bills would adopt the same philosophy and attitude.

Been a while...I just may.

No way Seattle doesn't open at home.

Did one of you guys grab the microphone during Malcolm Smith's post game press conference?

My point about coaching is the attention to detail. Carroll ran his last practice with a 31 minute break in the middle to simulate half time. His team was READY, and PED's or refs had nothing to do with that. The noise was a factor (see safety) and Denver was not able to properly communicate. That's part of being ill prepared and the Denver players themselves readily admit they were nowhere near prepared as Seattle. They've played tons of road games, no s***, but game plans, protections and line checks, along with the way they are communicated, change. If you practice these without noise because you think your QB will be heard and come game time he isn't, then that is a horrible job of preparing your team.

How many football games have you coached?

I agree with this. My argument is, just as WEO states, that the OP suggests the officiating in the Superbowl was inconsistent with the regular season. I am stating, maybe too emphatically, that it was not. Seattle played the exact brand of football they played all year. As for being "jacked" and in the right place at the right time, they do have these people called coaches and when you give a great defensive team two weeks to prepare against a great offensive team, I strongly believe the defense will win almost every, if not every time. Seattle's defensive line dominated Denver's offensive line and executed the game plan perfectly, allowing them to drop 7 into coverage most of the night, get Manning off his spots and disrupting his timing throughout the game. Brilliantly coached and brilliantly executed. I will also add that John Fox severely dropped the ball by not practicing with loud speakers because "Superbowl crowds are quieter". That crowd sounded as loud as any Superbowl game I have heard and when you aren't prepared for it because you failed to prepare for it, the advantage goes to the defense in a big way.

Gotcha, Chief.

Man, some people on this board lost a ton of money on the Broncos.

I'm sorry you have a jaded point of view and the Seahawks' success has tainted your NFL experience. This is the most intelligent post on this thread...including the 10ish I have posted.

That's how the Niners play as well. Are they cheating too? Or does it happen to be those two teams are built to play each other and their GMs know how to build a winning team? Sounds a lot like envy to me.

The Seattle DBs played this game exactly how they've played all season: physical. This wasn't some new s*** they were trying to get away with. They have consistently made contact with receivers for 19 meaningful games. Cut Stevie threads are unbelievable. Da'Rick threads are pure stupidity. What does that have to do with yesterday's game, which I am obviously arguing about?

There was more than one PI call and there were zero clear shots to the head. Glancing blows, yes. Clear shots, no.

Nickelback? Most 15-50 year olds would be good with Nickelback? No, no, no, no, no.

I'm not naive enough to say drug use doesn't exist, especially with the Seahawks. But to say they are jacked because they are on drugs is ridiculous. If the Niners made it and dominated in the same fashion...which is very possible....would we be having the same conversation? Thank you. Greatest part of my job by a landslide.

I found Bruno Mars' performance to be Motownish. I liked it. Bury the dinosaur acts.

Elaborate.

I don't mean NFL. I mean football. I coach HS football...have for 20 years...and my players are jacked the entire game, as am I. Why does this have to be a drug thing? Have you read about their practices? Have you seen their head coach? Do you have any understanding about how Carroll motivates these guys? He is as jacked as they are. Is he on drugs too?

Have you played the game? I don't think I'd have any difficulty staying jacked up as I am dominating my opponent on the way to a Superbowl win. Saying this is unnatural is a ridiculous statement.

The league must have fixed that too.

So every time a team puts forth a dominant performance, it's cheating? C'mon, man.

Just to be clear....you are saying the Seahawks got away with stuff that was called all year? Have you watched many Seahawk games this season? I've watched them all. That game was called like every Seahawk game all year.
