The Broncos Are Favorites!

[Jason Tate]

And the Broncos are now officially favorites for the Super Bowl win, their third Super-Bowl win since 1997 (matching the "dynasty" of the Patriots for the decade).

Bo-YAH! All the way mother-fuckers!

[LeftWideOpen]

they have better odds than the seahawks?

i think denver wins it all ..but im surprised the oddsmakers agree.

Yep.

Vegas oddsmakers said Denver would be favored in the Super Bowl against either of the NFC teams still in the hunt, Carolina or Seattle. "The Broncos have been flying under the radar the whole season, with the likes of the Colts out there, but now, they're looking better," said Jay Kornegay, who runs the sports book at the Las Vegas Hilton. The numbers: Denver is now the 3-to-2 favorite to win the Super Bowl. Seattle and Pittsburgh were both 5-to-2 and Carolina was 6-to-1.

They won't get a chance to -- Hawks are done against Carolina.

hello mr. i've never posted on the sports forums until today. what do you know? please tell me how the seahawks are done against carolina. yes, since carolina allowed the bears' pathetic offense to score 21 points on them. also, seahawks don't stand a chance with the panthers flying across the country into seattle where the seahawks are undefeated this season, especially after the seahawks are coming off their first playoff win in 21 years....without their MVP running back. And Shaun Alexander will be healthy by Sunday. Yeah, you're absolutely right, seahawks don't stand a chance.....sarcasm

Never posted in the Sports Forum before today? :rolleyes:

Alexander chokes; it's so obvious. I bet if he would have been in the whole game, Seattle would have lost. As for playing in Seattle, we ALL know Seattle hasn't played ANY good teams this year .. they had the easiest schedule in the entire NFL to get to where they are ... so you're argument is pretty shitty.

[itsjdiggity]

Champ Bailey vs Steve Smith will be good to watch in the Super Bowl

Did you see the way Alexander was running before he got hurt, tight and nervous. Just look at his numbers he has put up in the past in the playoffs to show he chokes. No if the Hawks want to win vs. Carolina they need Hassleback to win it for them, and that is a scary thought. I see a Panthers/Bronocs superbowl coming up.

[fromwithin]

can we just give it up for the state of pennsylvania. as much as i hate these teams I dont think one state has made it to so many AFC and NFC championship games. Even though they choke most of the time, think about it. In the past 10 years, the Steelers have been there at least 4 times and so have the Eagles. All hail Pennsylvania.

did you see the way he was running before that game? He got the rushing title, league MVP, and broke the single season TD record. For everyone who says "he chokes." you're all fucking retarded, yes, last year he fumbled in a crucial moment. But Darrell Jackson also dropped a few crucial passes. Did you see Darrell Jackson or Bobby Engram drop any passes? And it's extremely rare for Shaun Alexander to fumble. He's much better this year. Trust me, it won't happen again. I don't know if you got the memo, but this team has matured and isn't the same. We also hadn't won a playoff game in 21 years. We'd also never had an MVP, home field advantage, won 13 games, etc. If you guys are going to hold things against seattle that they're notorious for in the past, well then, the broncos should lose the super bowl cause they have lost the second most in NFL history. We also thought the Pats and Colts would be playing each other in the AFC championship. My point is, the broncs and panthers can suck my dick.

Not like it matters, Seattle won't be in the Super-Bowl. No point in arguing with you ...

Well, that and what I saw Seattle do all year (nothing that impressive against the teams they played).

If you think it's that simple then you're incredibly naive. Rex Grossman is a much better QB then you give him credit for.

I'm not saying guarenteed I'm just saying don't be so confident

[sweethypocrisy]

fuck the broncos fuck the panthers. steelers vs. seahawks super bowl.

thats what i would like to see happen

well i mean Carolina was really impressive losing to Dallas....

And if you are trusting the Vegas oddsmakers.. Then you would pick a Bronco/Seahawks super bowl. Come on, do not be a hypocrite..

Seattle beat Dallas by the way. Carolina losing a home game to New Oreleans was pretty tight of them too. And to Miami. and a home game to Tampa.

Regular season means shit, i think Manning proved that today. Show me what you can do in the playoffs, or dont even bother showing up. And i could care less what Darrell Jackson or Engram did,i dont think i even brought them up. Alexander chokes in big games and untill he shows me something in the playoffs i will continue to think that. If he goes for 150 and two touchdonws vs. Carolina then feel free to rub this in my face.

Ok so you are basing your opinion solely on Alexander failing?

No Panther running back is going to blow the doors off the Seahawks with Foster and Davis injured..so..

you are basically just going on Hasselbeck vs. Delhomme... ?

How bad is foster hurt, i never saw what happened with that.

And i am not ruling out Alexander having a good game, the guy has it in him. But i am not going to count on it when everything in his post-season career points against him doing well.

While i think Hasselbeck and Delhomme are big parts of the game, obviosuly there are other factors, for example defense and other skill players. (aka steve smith, who i dont think Seattle can stop)

Seattle stopped Santana Moss and will have no reason not to employ the same tactics against Steve Smith. When he accounts for 220 yards receiving and 30 yards rushing...come on..Seattle knows what to plan for i think ;)

Foster has a high ankle sprain. Probably about a 4 week injury usually, at least that are the initial reports out of the Panther camp.

Other parts of the game are big, yes, like being in Seattle..12th man all that. Plus a Seattle D limiting Washington to 10 or Carolina "limiting" Chicago to 21...

Julius Peppers has an unreported shoulder injury too..that would be a huge blow to the Panthers.

[tambo41187]

Smith>Moss.

I think Carolina is just a far superior team than Washington, especially when it comes to offense and i was not impressed with how Seattle played. But Foster and Peppers would be huge losses, so who knows.

[LeftWideOpen]

I just can't see Delhomme and that offense keeping up with Seattle. After facing Washington's defense, Seattle is getting a break by playing Carolina. And personally, I just don't think Carolina brings much more to the table than Washington does offensively.

[FreshyFresh23]

Smith>Moss.

They are definitely, because now Carolina's rushing offense is severely depleted, which in turn can allow the Seahawks to leave only 3-4 people in the box and put 7-8 people in coverage to stop Smith. That will prove hard for Carolina's offense...but we will see.

[1check_1love]

foster is a big loss...but goings is capable. but your right, it basically gives them room to put half the team on smith and realize that they've got a good shot to win if it's nick goings who has to beat them.

Exactly.. Also, it is just coming out of Panthers camp that he suffered a broken bone in his ankle. He's done..

you friggin kidding me? When will everyone let go of this lame AFC superiority thing? We all know that Seattle is the most complete team standing. Who's still left in the playoffs that has a better offense than they do? And their defense? Underrated. The lack of respect we get week after week is kind of an advantage. Teams always think that they're too much for Seattle.

That will be their downfall..mark my words..haha

[PlaCracktheSky]

Although I predicted a broncos seahawks superbowl before the playoffs began... I think carolina may beat seattle this week.

[not_holden]

I think everyone in this thread forgets that the Panthers are still in the playoff picture, especially with the play of Jake Delhomme, Steve Smith, Ricky Prohle. They can light up the field faster than anyone. Bar none.

Seattle fans who have Sean Alexander on their team, should not be calling any other player out for "choking" - at all.

AFC > NFC.

It's pretty obvious. And until Seattle plays a good team (and none of this bullshit-Colt team stuff), I'm not giving them any credit. When your league is as easy as theirs was, they should have done as well as they did.

[splitsecond]

Its pretty awesome that it is Big Ben's beard vs Plummer's beard.



The Broncos can't win, because I don't want my ex to have a reason to call me.

man you're right. Seattle sucks cause they lived up to their expectations and they are performing like a #1 team should perform. You're right, they deserve no respect. Meanwhile the AFC's best team got eliminated by the #6 seed so that makes the AFC better. Oh and by the way, they defeated the Redskins.....remember, the redskins were on a 6 game winning streak and had just defeated the #3 seed Bucs. And they defeated them without their MVP running back. But that doesn't count right? Cause it was only in the playoffs. You and still_life should start a club together called "the spin doctors of football."

[weezer182]

My point is, the broncs and panthers can suck my dick.great agrument you have there. thats why no one can take you serious

[BuriedAlive]

Denver has the same problem as the Steelers... they LOVE to run the ball. If either team comes out swinging and get ahead. You may see a blowout. (by either team) just because they will keep the other team's offense off the field.

Here's my final bracket.

Steelers beat Broncos
Panthers beat Seahawks

Panthers win Super Bowl over the Steelers

[commatosa]

great agrument you have there. thats why no one can take you serious

oh geez. I forgot that joking is strictly forbidden on this forum. Yes, I was obviously kidding.

[ActorInThisPlay]

And the Broncos are now officially favorites for the Super Bowl win, their third Super-Bowl win since 1997 (matching the "dynasty" of the Patriots for the decade).

you know fans like you make it almost impossible to want to communicate with a seattle fan.
Seahawks are my pick to win this game but the panthers aren't the redskins.
Nick Goings will be starting, and while he's not stephen davis or deshaun foster, he does happen to hold the club record for most consecutive 100 games, so he's no chump. And will alexander be 100%? I honestly haven't heard. I heard he had a concussion and i'd find it hard to believe that any football related concussion is 100% gone after a week. But settle down with this "lack of respect" thing. we fucking get it. The supreme arrogance in your team is pretty annoying. there's a way to debate and support your team and still come across as civil, instead of this pretentious idiot.

[Scott Weber]

Here's what I can gather from all of the threads in the Sports Forum (not just this one):

How to be a newfound Seahawks critic:

1. seahawks had a weak schedule so that automatically makes them a weak team
2. seahawks got lucky last week against the redskins, even though I said they'd get smoked
3. did i mention easy schedule? good thing seattle controls the opponents they play
4. steve smith this, steve smith that, look at how good he is, one person will beat the hawks alone
5. even though alexander had one of the most statistically impressive RB seasons in recent history, he still sucks
6. alexander fumbled for the 2nd time in like 400 carries...in the rain, guess that means he sucks
7. alexander only carried for 9 yards, that means he sucks
8. alexander didn't play after suffering a concussion, guess that means he's a pussy
9. the hawks will lose to carolina just like they lost to washington...oh, wait

[Scott Weber]

by the way, i still think Seattle will win their game against Carolina, but it's going to be very close and very tough.

[Salomonbz90]

Jason, what do you wanna bet that the Steelers win against Denver on sunday?

[Trainsaw]

it's still not 3 in 4 years though.
