Super Bowl Thread

[RblDiver]

Time to get it going.

First up: Score 1 for MetLife's Star Spangled Banner commercial.

[RblDiver]

National Anthem - Much better than pop stars past, but I still prefer the original pacing.

Next: McD's commercial. Have to love it, it is by the Bad Lyp Reading guys! :D

Lol, would that be a False Start on the coin toss?

[TEAMRICO]

Pre game snacks eaten......wings cooking for halftime......let's get it on!!!!!


WTF? Is Namath a PIMP?

[RblDiver]

...WTF Denver??????

[buffalobo]

Ouch

Lobbed from my electronic ball and chain

[Aloha_Shooter]

HTF do you start the game with a safety? WTH ...

[johngraves2]

I was picking up wings at BWW when they played a commercial with a whole bunch of people readings parts of the constitution. It was very powerful, but i only saw some of it. Anyone have a link to view the whole thing??

[TEAMRICO]

Jimmy? Your so old?
Its the future!!!



My wife is choking on her laughs.

[RblDiver]

Chevy Silverado ad - Kinda dumb, but I still laughed. You go bull!

[RblDiver]

Turbo Tax commercial - Dumb. I liked slo-mo Sean, not so much Turbo Tax.

[johngraves2]

Chevy Silverado ad - Kinda dumb, but I still laughed. You go bull!
As someone who works in the ag industry and a chevy hater and ford lover, i thought that commercial was great!!

[Rooskibar03]

Where's that Broncos due for another loss thread when you need it?

[RblDiver]

And now a fumble. Thank God for a recovery. Good grief Denver.

[RblDiver]

And now an interception. *Sob*

[asmo]

WTF?

[KS63]

Broncos beating themselves

[hurley842002]

Well the plan was for shots on Denver touchdowns, I'm going to open it up to Seattle touchdowns as well, otherwise I may not open this bottle...... Embarrassing!

[jerrymrc]

This reminds me of 87. [Bang]

[TEAMRICO]

Bronco's gear on clearance tomorrow.
Horrible!!!

Radio Shack ad was good.

[ZERO THEORY]

I was glad Denver beats the Chargers, but I retain my Denver hatred from the last six years or so.

I am enjoying this. WAR 'HAWKS!

[Gman]

+1 on Radio Shack.

Who are these clowns in the Bronco's uniforms today?

[Rooskibar03]

Bronco's gear on clearance tomorrow.
Horrible!!!

Radio Shack ad was good.

Tomorrow? The guys at Sports Authority are already slapping sale tags on stuff.

[RblDiver]

Do like the Tim Tebow ad. Hey Broncs, lose this game, care to bring him back?

Transformers, with dinosaur robots? Count me in!

[RblDiver]

I think I know why they're not doing better: Omaha's cursing them for not being mentioned yet.

[TEAMRICO]

Bring on Bruno Mars and the RHCP's so I can eat wings.............

[RblDiver]

*Sigh* Interception #2.

[hurley842002]

[KS63]

So far, Seattle deserves to win. Worst I've seen the offense play this year.

[Aloha_Shooter]

I liked the Radio Shack commercial too. I really didn't think Denver was going to give Seattle the kinds of errors San Francisco did but that opening safety really screwed with their minds. They need to close this half and get a rethink during half-time.

[RblDiver]

Volkswagen ad good.

[Mtn.man]

So who is the Peyton dude and where are the Bronco's?

Worst bunch of play calling all year.

[2XS]

How about them broncos ? Go Seattle have a little horse snack and kick there arse.

[Gman]

...and a fumble to the kicker on the kickoff.

Hey, what else on on TV today?

ETA: Oh, down before the ball came loose. That'll make a difference tonight. [dig]

[KS63]

What is Holiday doing receiving?

[RblDiver]

Can we just have Denver start a fight or something, hockey style? Would make things more interesting at this stage.

[Great-Kazoo]

So who is the Peyton dude and where are the Bronco's?

Worst bunch of play calling all year.

They're over at JER'S place watching the debacle. Last time this happened it was the WASHINGTON Redskins.

[TEAMRICO]

Some one direct the Seahawks bandwagon to the Rico residence......we wanna jump on.

[Rooskibar03]

Super Bowl shutout?

one last record for Denver to set for the season?

[RblDiver]

Simply embarrassing!!!

[Mtn.man]

Who was it said "you can't win a game with defense"

[hurley842002]

This is why I was a huge Denver fan until I moved to Denver...... Still a fan, but not like I used to be.

[02ducky]

Anybody see the coca cola commercial with the star spangled banner (edit)? CC I will never, ever drink another coke product again- suck it!!

[RblDiver]

I saw America the Beautiful, not Star Spangled Banner, was there a different one?

[Gman]

After that first half of fail, I'm actually looking forward to the half-time show. On a positive note, Alan Roach is working the PA.

[RblDiver]

I must say it's quite something to see pop stars NOT dressed slutty. I guess it's due to them being guys, but still. Makes me think throwback to the old days when singers wore suits at the clubs.

[ZERO THEORY]

I saw America the Beautiful, not Star Spangled Banner, was there a different one?

Heard America the Beautiful in Spanish and muted the surround sound. No, thanks. As an immigrant's son, I am HUGE on immigration rights for valid migrants, as well as amnesty for actual victims of political violence/extortion. What I'm not a proponent of, however, is force-feeding the we-are-the-world, you have to bend over and take Spanish culture agenda.

[Great-Kazoo]

And here we see the Denver fans in their element: denouncing everything they usually clamor about in the face of any adversity.

I'm not a fan of the broncos or football in general, just like stirring the pot. Which you have to admit doesn't need much stirring. They never were MY broncos.

[RblDiver]

Aaaaand then the RHCP come on and ruin it with ugly shirtlessness.

[Aloha_Shooter]

Agreed. Much better than the Black Eyed Peas, Janet Jackson, Madonna, Beyonce, etc.

I hope Alex Gibbs gets in the OL ass.

[MrPrena]

Radioshack should've ran that same damn ad 2 years ago!!!
Even last year was little late, but doable.
IMHO, I think RSH's lazy late marketing of their new show room store would not save their company going into POSSIBLE Bankruptcy.

Anyways, ad was great! :D

[RblDiver]

Nice armed forces segue there.

[Aloha_Shooter]

Okay, I take it back. Bruno Mars was styling like one of the Temptations or Platters and then the Chili Peppers came out half-dressed ...

[TEAMRICO]

Bruno Mars pulled it off IMO.
Well done.

[RblDiver]

*Slap face* Another "Don't let your friends smoke, use this ecig instead" ad. Dumb dumb.

I wonder what the payout is in Vegas for the Broncos getting skunked?

[Dave]

[ROFL2][ROFL3][LOL]

[RblDiver]

OK with that throw, I think we should look into whether Manning was paid off by Seattle, it's like he's trying to pass to them and not the Broncs.

[Fentonite]

I want one of those dogs!

[Gman]

I want one of those dogs!
Doberhuahuas. They're everywhere!

I have to admit it, I like the Tebow T-Mobile ads.

[RblDiver]

Good Bud ad. Welcome home heroes.

[Gman]

If you're a Seahawks fan, you're probably not hating it right now.

[Hound]

If errors were touchdowns we would be killing it!!

[SuperiorDG]

OMG

[RblDiver]

I've decided to become a sports socialist. I think we need some point wealth redistribution here.
(Would Seattle get fined for unsporting conduct if they purposefully fumbled the ball and all stood back to let Denver score?)

[Drucker]

I think the Broncos should have held off on the "Super Bowl" until the football game was over.

[hurley842002]

That 40-10 pre season score is looking good now......

[StagLefty]

Bad enough to lose but not like this !

They just started MVP voting. Could we vote Manning being the MVP for Seattle?

On a side note, I think I'll go shooting tomorrow if I can find some 9mm.

Well that was a Super Bong. I googled the worst superbowl games, it appears Elway was in a few of them. Looks like Elway was jealous of Snookie and wanted the broncos to get pounded hard in the dirty jersey too.

Indeed, seemed to be changed to that little "bronco foot tap" thing. I didn't notice the first play, but perhaps that's what they changed it to so that the guy didn't safety the ball anymore.

On the first day of school a first grade teacher explains to her class that she is a Broncos fan.
She asks her students to raise their hands if they, too, are Broncos fans.
Wanting to impress their teacher, everyone in the class raises their hand except one little girl.
The teacher looks at the girl with surprise, 'Janie, why didn't you raise your hand?'
Because I'm not a Broncos fan,' she replied.
The teacher, still shocked, asked, 'Well, if you are not a Broncos fan, then who are you a fan of?'
'I am a Seahawks fan, and proud of it,' Janie replied.
The teacher could not believe her ears. 'Janie please tell us why you are a Seahawks fan?'
"Because my mom is a Seahawks fan, and my dad is Seahawks fan, so I'm a Seahawks fan too!"
"Well," said the teacher in a obviously annoyed tone, 'that is no reason for you to be a Seahawks fan.
You don't have to be just like your parents all of the time.
What if your mom was an idiot and your dad was a moron, what would you be then?'
"Then," Janie smiled, 'I'd be a Broncos fan.'

[Aloha_Shooter]

Okay ... as a NON-fan of the Broncos, this is one of the things that gripes me about so many Bronco fans. They get cocky and uppity when things are going right -- okay, no problem, that happens with most teams -- but the put-downs on the team as they're admittedly getting spanked hard is pretty weak. Worse though is that Bronco news is still going to dominate coverage in the Denver ComPost Sports section even through basketball and baseball seasons. Same thing happened after the Skins dusted the Broncos in '88. [facepalm]

The Seahawks came in hungry and were tougher on the Broncos than I thought they'd be and the Broncos were sloppier than I thought they'd be (starting with that safety). It almost seemed to me a lot of the Broncos read and believed the DP hype and walked in there thinking the Seahawks were just going to roll down on the ground for them. The Donkeys got killed ... oh well, learn from it and play next year.

As a Lions fan I really didn't care who won. I just didn't want to hear about it for the next year at work from people who didn't know what color a football is until about 6 weeks ago but all of a sudden this week show up in a Manning jersey.

[jerrymrc]

I said it in the first qtr that it looked like 87 all over again. I am older now and do not get upset one way or another.

[james_bond_007]

If I had to sum things up as to WHY the Broncos looked so bad,

I'd' have to say that " the Denver offensive Linemen didn't give Manning the protection he needed to make things happen."

That could have be due to Denver's offensive linemen being weaker, the Seahawk's defensive linemen being better/quicker, or a combination of both.

Denver sucked ball sack, that is the bottom line. They didn't do what they are paid millions to do, and they failed their fans. That was the worst performance I've ever seen.

[hurley842002]

Btw, I'm not a die hard, just stating what I saw.

[Aloha_Shooter]

This was worse than Elway's 35-10 loss to the Redskins in 1988 or but I'm guessing you missed the 55-10 shellacking at the hands of the 49ers.

[MED]

The Seahawks remind me of the 2000 Ravens and the Broncos were no where near ready to play that kind of game. Between the crowd noise and that punishing defence, the Broncos were dazed and confused from the first possession. I kinda suspected a Seahawk win, but nothing like this. Wow!

[blacklabel]

I definitely wouldn't have been surprised by a Seahawks win but its rare that an NFL team gets dominated like that in every facet of the game.

[Jer]

I'm not going to do what most Broncos fans have done and turn this into a Broncos hate fest. They're still my team and they still made it to the Superbowl. Yes, they lost but there are 30 other teams that would have LOVED to have been in the Superbowl even knowing they were going to lose by that score. Count on it. This stat of how many times a team or a QB has lost a Superbowl is easily the most overhyped and worst stat in all of professional sports. They make it sounds like there are two teams in the NFL who play ONE game and the loser is the source of ridicule. That's just idiotic. There can only be one champion and all others are losers but Denver still made the Superbowl which is an impressive accomplishment.

All that being said.... congratulations to the Seattle Seahawks & their fans. That was an IMPRESSIVE win no matter how you slice it and all the credit in the world goes to the Seahawks. To belittle the Broncos at this point is discrediting what the Seahawks have done and that's just not fair. The Seahawks played the most dominate football game at every aspect that I have ever seen... regular season or otherwise. This is impressive when you take into account they held the most prolific offense in the history of the NFL to only 8 points. Good defenses have a tendency to make good offenses look bad and that's exactly what happened. We just witnessed probably the greatest defensive performance in Superbowl history coupled with a flawless offense and special teams performance. Nothing you can do about that and Seattle gets the credit they deserve from me for playing what amounts to as perfect of a Superbowl as you'll ever see. I'm not a poor sport so I didn't gloat when Denver was winning game after game in a big way and I won't pout or shift blame when they lose either. Good game Seattle and hopefully Denver will use this offseason to get better and come back in the spring to make another run. That's sports and my life doesn't begin & end with them.

I agree with what Jer said and while I'm not a Broncos fan, I'd like to offer this glimmer of hope for those of you that are. The 1971 Dolphins got their butts kicked by the Cowboys in the 1972 Super Bowl 24-3 -- and that butt-kicking was what inspired the team to their still-legendary 1972 season. If the Broncos can take that same level of inspiration, you're in for a helluva ride next season.

No, not a 5-year old.

But a graduate of a public school system that desperately needs the parents to get involved in their child's education and support the teachers.

The team, as constituted, is getting better every year. I'm anxious to see what they can do next year because if they don't win a Superbowl (they're already the odds on favorite in Vegas) it will be the first year they haven't improved so I'm holding hope that they're going to make the necessary adjustments and next year will be the year.

My picks:
1. Sentimental - Budweiser - A Hero's Welcome (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=K7L5QByvXOQ)
2. Funny - Tim Tebow - No Contract (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xTaH-OtUv94)

Honorable mention: MetLife National Anthem (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vFUWcM0K-_U)

Don't care. I muted it after the abomination started.

Because it's AMERICA the beautiful and it's to be sung in English. It's like flying the American Flag but instead of the good old red white & blue it's the exact same but in red, white & green for Mexican pride. You want to be American? Speak English. The least you can do is sing her sings in the native tongue.

...who came here by legal methods and spoke English because they were grateful for the opportunity they were given that would not have been available in the country they left. Too many today are here illegally and then, for reasons known to me, try to recreate whatever the left here usually at the determent of our own nation/society. Yeah, I have a problem with this. Hyphenated American's will be the decline of this society. You want to be an American? Then be a damn American.

And what difference does that make in what language the song was sang in? Are you required to drop your native language when you become a citizen? How do you know those people were illegal immigrants in that video?

Where did I say the people singing that song were illegal immigrants? You're trying to have two different conversations and are using that to try to catch my in something.

If I felt compelled to move to Mexico for a better life would I be greeted with open arms singing their national anthem in English?

[Ridge]

You yourself tied the language they were speaking in as an argument about illegal immigration.

I doubt many Mexicans would get sand in their vag if you were singing their anthem in another language, especially when the tune is clearly apparent to them while you do it.

[Kraven251]

America the Beautiful is not the national anthem, and I thought the commercial was leftist crap. We are a melting pot of cultures etc. but the vast majority of the country speaks English. The commercial had some underpinnings that I could do without, especially during the epitome of American Football. ...as so many of the non-US folks I have interacted of feel the need to tell me that football is played with a round ball.

As for the best commercial of the night, Oikos yogurt with the guys from Full House.

I realize it's not the National Anthem but I was trying to make a comparison. If you tell me an analog to America the Beautiful for Mexico I will amend my statement if necessary but the point still remains. I'm tired of acquiescing to foreigners who clearly don't care enough about our country to learn our native language. I spent a couple weeks in Mexico and spoke more Spanish than immigrants I have seen with my own eyes/ears that have lived her decades. You really have to go out of your way to not absorb some of a language of a nation you live in.

[Ridge]

Don't you think they care about the country if they care enough to learn the song? Hell, there are plenty of kids born in English speaking households that don't know the words to it.

A friend of mine, immigrant from Portugal who speaks perfect grammatical English but with a thick accent, and refuses to be known as a hyphenated American, hated that ad.

[streetglideok]

We thought the ad was offensive to America as a whole. It almost felt like they were condoning not speaking English in America. Basically, leftist trash. It's an American song, with Colorado ties, about America. If they wanted to do it with multiple nationalities, great, as our country is made up of multiple nationalities, but do so in English. It should be encouraged to speak English. I should not have to press 1 for English. That's where all this is coming from, and going. Heck the other day, before we fired our helper, he had a habit of trying to talk to another employee in Mexican. I piped up and shouted, en ingles por favor! They both looked at me with a silly look. I find it offensive to have coworkers talking beside me in another language, personally.

Nice breakdown in the WSJ: http://online.wsj.com/article/SB10001424052702304851104579361111580572276.html?m od=WSJ_hppMIDDLENexttoWhatsNewsSecond

Some highlights:

Seattle's strategy focused on containing Denver's vaunted short passing game, exposing the Broncos as a team with surprisingly few tricks in their offensive bag.
The Seahawks gladly let Manning break the Super Bowl record for completions. He connected on 34 of his 49 passes. The hulking Seattle defense held those passes to an average of 8.2 yards per completion, the third-worst mark in Super Bowl history, according to Stats LLC. The plan was simple: Let Manning have his short passes, but make sure they stay short.



The first rule of facing Manning is don't blitz. According to Pro Football Focus, there were 184 instances this season when brave, foolish souls blitzed Manning; he devastated them in response, compiling a quarterback rating above 100 in those situations.
The point of blitzing—that is, sending defenders other than linemen to rush the quarterback—is to get the quarterback uncomfortable, gambling that he won't be able to find the hole in the defense that was created when the blitzing player left his post. That doesn't work on Manning. The Seahawks knew this, so they tried something else.



The Seahawks wanted to keep every play in front of them to prevent the Denver wide receivers from executing their blocking schemes to break off big gains after the catch—the Broncos' trademark.
To counteract these and the "pick" plays Denver runs, in which one receiver runs interference for another by running into a cornerback, the Seahawks had a clear plan.
When two Denver receivers lined up next to each other, Seattle cornerbacks such as Richard Sherman would begin to backpedal before the snap. This was to get away from the Bronco receivers. The Seahawks knew those receiver pairs likely would try to pick the cornerback—or to execute downfield blocking on a short pass, which could lead to even bigger gains.


Someone really studied the opponent's game films. All the more reason to praise the Seahawks for what they did rather than berate the Donkeys for what they didn't do.

[Jer]

To be fair none of this was a secret prior to the Superbowl. The Seahawks were the first team with the talent to be able to execute the plan. Other teams had the same ideas but w/o the great defensive talent at every position that the Seahawks have they couldn't execute and that's when Peyton could find weaknesses to exploit for gains, touchdowns & eventually wins. Like I said before, Seattle didn't do anything extraordinary they just did something ordinary extraordinarily well. Pretty much their game plan all season long.

[Dave_L]

The more time that passes from the game the more calm I am about the game. Seattle played some straight up quality football. Pretty impressive as much as I hate to say it. Old school, hit ya in the mouth, pigskin.

The plus side is we play the NFC west next year. Four regular season games against smash mouth defenses. Hopefully that helps prep us for post season games.
