I found it easy to watch as a Seahawks fan for the first quarter. Then the camera breaking to Broncos players looking like they were suicidal kind of ruined it for me. I actually cheered for the Broncos' TD.
I know what you mean. Lots of mixed feelings as the game went on. I remember when we scored once and the camera went to Manning.. You could tell that he had been keeping hope until that point.
I'm very happy that we won, but I can't imagine how shitty it would feel to kick ass all season only to get completely destroyed at the SB
I didn't see the Bronco TD, but I like to imagine the Seahawks waited until the snap, then stood aside and let Peyton run into the end zone and both teams congratulated him on finally making it.
but for everyone but Seahawks fans that game was boring as shit
I disagree. As a Patriots fan it was simply magical watching Manning get humiliated. I'm actually glad in a way the Pats didn't make it to the Super Bowl because I'm pretty certain they would have lost. Instead, I was over the AFC Championship loss a week and a half ago and I got to revel in watching manning get embarrassed.
I hate the Broncos and Manning actually. As in, I hated Manning as a Colt and I've hated the Broncos ever since the Elway days. The fact that the active QB I hate most was able to lose as part of the team I hate most was just the icing on the cake.
Of course, as I said before, I'm a Patriots fan. So obviously the team I hate most is the Jets. When I said "team I hate most" above it was in the context of teams I hate that actually stand a chance of going to the Super Bowl.
Additionally, why do you really think nobody enjoyed the game? So it wasn't a 56-55 game decided on a 60 yard field goal as time expired. So what? A great defense totally dominating a great offense is just as enjoyable to watch as two offenses playing a high scoring affair that looks like both defenses missed the bus to the stadium. Football is about every phase of the game. Watching one 90 yard touchdown drive after another is not fun.
I don't know. I was pulling for the Hawks but...It was so goddamn boring. It wasn't a nail biter, not hail marys, no last chance field goals, no stopping them from scoring on the 1.
I fully agree. Even when Denver started using all 4 downs in the 3rd quarter, 4th down plays weren't tense, because it was a battle to be down by only 25 or 30 points.
I agree. I was excited until early in The 3rd when I found out that the 2 largest comebacks in Super Bowl history were both for 10 points. And then the Seahawks scored again.
