Is it possible for us to win.....

[nicehawk]

Simply because we are the better team, and make more plays to win the game?

Is that possible, or will it be nothing but excuses? Sounds more like we can't win unless Denver has a huge meltdown.

Obviously there are some respectable, reasonable fans on this board, this thread isnt directed towards you guys, but 'that guy'. Just wondering how popular this sentiment is.

In the playoffs, Denver has been more dominant on both sides of the ball.

Your team was average against the Saints, and barely escaped with a win against Kaepernick and the Niners. Not to mention Wilson has been consistently sacked in the playoffs, whereas Peyton hasn't been touched.

The Dolts thought that they were going to win, they were wrong. The Patsies thought they were going to win with Blount Force Trauma, the man only had 5 carries for a whopping six YDS!

this game with Denver vs Seattle will be a good game, a close game, but I like Denver's chances. They've got the weapons on offense to score points, and their D has been playing lights out in the playoffs, especially against NE.

THose Broncos fans that think it will be a cakewalk are in the minority. IMO most educated fans know that this will be a tough battle for both sides... it is currently a 2 Pt spread and the "so called experts" are about 50/50 from what I have seen. Having said that; I think the Broncos will win, but admittedly I am biased. I expect a close victory utilizing the ball control that we have been showing the last 6 weeks. Could I see blowing Seattle out... Sure. But I can also see that blowout going the other way. Seattle has made their money on FORCING turnovers and cashing in. That is really what happened in the NFC championship game. It will be a good game but I am confident that the broncos will pull it out.

[FL BRONCO]

No........

[broncosteeler13]

I thought that the Pats game was going to be a close game, I even predicted a 38-37 one point win in favor of Denver, what actually happened? A blowout from start to finish.

As for Seattle winning in a blowout, the LAST time they did that was against the Giants, who are turnover happy. The Broncos have only turned the ball over twice in the playoffs, both in the game against the Chargers. New England forced a bunch of turnovers against the Colts, only to not force any on the Broncos the next week.

It will be a challenging game, but I'm not one to buy the Seachicken's "#1 defense" BS. That #1 defense BARELY held off Colin Kaepernick and the 49ers, and they needed turnovers and assistance from the refs to win. The Seachickens remind me of the Dolts fans after their team backdoored their way into the playoffs and nearly lost to the Chiefs backups but needed ref help missing that illegal formation to make it into the playoffs. They only won against the Bungles because the Bungles lost the turnover battle. Even though Denver lost the turnover battle the next game, we played better football throughout the entire game and it only became nerve wrecking when Harris Jr. went out and Rivers exploited the hell out of Jammer.

Short end of it: Denver has been playing dominant football throughout the playoffs, Seattle has not. I like Denver's chances.

Holding drew Brees to what, 70 some odd yards through 3 quarters is average? Lol, okay homer.

Oh and guess what, niners > chargers or pats. Better receivers, better line, better back, better d line, better linebackers, better secondary. Deal with it.

Pretty much the bulk of your post is irrelevant reasoning.

Well, if you came here execting a "respectable" conversation then don't' quickly discount another poster's thoughts like you are. If you want to discount them then be prepared for "smack" like responses.

And, to answer your quesiton, yes it IS possible the Seahawks win this one. But, like most fans, methinks that isn't going to happen.

[darth-hideous]

Any give Sunday and all ya know, my confidence that the Broncos will win, comes from my belief they are capable of beating any team in the league. We'll all see how that plays out on Superbowl Sunday.

Sure, but the thread wasnt directed towards the 'respectable' fans.

I have no problem with thinking you are the best team, maybe you are.....and the point being, maybe you are not. Hence thread title. Some people refuse the notion that seattle may win, simply because they are the better team and made the bigger plays. Instead its excuses, weather, complete team meltdown, etc.

Your team STRUGGLED against Colin Kaepernick and the Niners, at home! Had it been Peyton playing QB instead of a young Kaepernick still making rookie mistakes (like trying to force the ball into the endzone to a WR under double coverage with two timeouts remaining), your team would not be in the SB.

The Broncos have been playing dominant football in the playoffs on both sides. Your team needed a turnover from the Saints, not to mention their kicker missing two field goals and Colston having a brain fart and throwing an illegal forward pass in the 4th quarter. And as I pointed out, you needed Kaep to turn the ball over twice in the second half of the NFCCG, and your "#1 d" was NOT stopping him towards the end of the game. Your team was one play away from not going to the SB.

If any team is the better team, it's the Broncos. They've got a veteran QB who has been there before, as well as a head coach who has been there before, and loads of weapons to use. Your team on the other hand has a young QB who hasn't been there before, and a head coach who has only coached college FB games. I know any given Sunday and all, but based on my observations from the Broncos and the Seahawks playing in the playoffs, I favor the Broncos. It will be a close game and it will go down to the final drive, and I stick with my prediction that it will be Champ Bailey with the game ending pick 6.

Or we can be real and say the only reason the 49ers were in the game, was because of kaepernicks legs.

Whats next, you're gonna say manning is Kore mobile and runs a faster 40 than kaepernick?

We didn't need anything from the saints. We won the game, they came up short. Didn't need anything against the 49ers either. They came up short, we won won the game. We....were....better.

Now here's the difference. Most of us will find out who's the better team come Superbowl. While you....will just make excuses.

As absurd of a thought as this is, it is possible that the seahawks are the better team

You're telling me that "#1 D" couldn't stop Kaep and his legs, what a joke!

No, I'm not saying Peyton is going to run as fast or faster than Kaep, he will take what Seattle is giving him and adjust the play accordingly, he's wicked smart like that.

No, the Seahawks are NOT the better team, and I've explained why. The Broncos dominated in the playoffs on both sides of the ball from start to finish, whereas the Hawks have struggled in the playoffs and your QB has been consistently taking sacks, our QB has NOT been touched in the playoffs. Maybe he'll get sacked, but Peyton is very damned good at getting the ball out in a timely fashion.

Any given Sunday I know, but in the end I like the Broncos chances, especially seeing as a lot of your most loudmouthed fans act like the Broncos just backdoored their way into the playoffs and that our offense does NOT stand a chance against Sherman and Co. Too many weapons to account for, not to mention like I pointed out, Peyton is wicked good at making play adjustments and finding an open man. The only issues I see are ball security, dropped passes, and stupid penalties that cost yards on O or give your O more yards. Like I said, it's going to be a close game going down to the final drive, and Champ will come out with the game ending pick 6!

And Ive already explained why your reasoning was faulty. 'Dominating' (funny you chose that BTW) the chargers or the pats holds no bearing on who the better team is between the broncos and Seahawks, doesnt even hold any bearing on if the chargers or pats were better than the saints or 9ers to begin with.

Unfortunately I think your defense is overrated and has feasted on sup-par offenses. This is not a sup-par offense you are facing. It is my opinion that when Peyton goes to the hurry up offense your defense may struggle with it. I think Denver will win because their strengths are stronger, more tested and more reliable than your strengths. It will be a tough game but I think in the end the Broncos will prevail.

Thats fine, what I'm wondering is when its all said and done, are you willing to acknowledge the possibility that you were wrong?
