Official NFL Thread - 2013

Side note: One of these days, my Bucs really need to get an offensive player drafted worth a darn. Lee Roy Selmon (DE), Warren Sapp (DT), and Derrick Brooks (LB) are all defensive and are our HOFers. John Lynch (FS) and Ronde Barber (CB) are likely inductees at some point.

Yep, gonna be a long wait. I could argue for Mike Allstott, but in this day and age Fullbacks will get zero interest from voters.

Yep. Long stinking wait.

I may be wrong, but I think the last pure FB inducted was Larry Csonka. I still have that memory of him running over Vikings cornerback Bobby Bryant in SB VIII and dragging him for 10 yards.

I am really psyched up for the game. The #1 Offense going against the #1 Defense. Who wants the win more? I predict the Denver Broncos will show the nation why they're the #1 Offense and I predict the Seattle Seahawks will show the nation why they're the #1 Defense.

The Vikes should have won 2 Super bowls, but that was not one of them. Those Dolphins were a badarse team!

I'm glad the weather appears to not be a factor.

Wow! 1st play of the game and the Legion of Boom Strikes with a safety!

 

[etad putta]

Crazy game so far!

I can't believe Denver didn't kick a field goal. Have to see what the 2nd half brings.

 

[Kevin N Smith]

Thanks Denver, I just lost $1200.

Looks like I bet on the right team this time...

 

[palandri]

1st play of the 2nd half and it's now 29-0 Seattle.

Peyton Manning has the opportunity now to lead the greatest Super Bowl comeback ever!

 

[MSFTisMIA]

Denver's two glaring weaknesses showed up today: lack of pass rush, and lack of playmakers in the secondary. Their offensive line hadn't handled pressure well either.

Manning has looked ok, but man, Denver hadn't showed up really.

36-0 Seattle

I am seeing 1986 again - Chicago 46, New England 10

Didn't see this coming lol

 

[paulxxwall]

Wow Seattle came to play!!!!!

 

[TonyDedrick]

Seattle defense has obviously been great for the last three seasons. Tonight, they look like as dominant as the 2000 Baltimore Ravens. The best defense I've seen in my lifetime as an NFL fan.

You must be too young to remember the 85 Bears.

2013 Seattle or the 2000 Ravens are the best you've ever seen? Seattle is good but they hold on a lot and don't get called for it. nit to take anything away from their tight coverage, but seriously, they get away with a lot.

Edit: see... Next play was holding on their offense.

You really can't attribute that to the "legend (I think you meant legion) of boom". That was an error on the part of Denver's offense.

Maybe the Legion of Boom scared the center and caused the error. OK, its a stretch. Wow, now it's 43-8 Seattle.

Yeah. I was 2 years old in 85. Hence, my post stating in my lifetime of being an NFL fan.
