I hope SinsoftheFlesh is okay, I know she is rooting for Denver.
Sounds like she is going to need a lot of consoling. I am sorry for your loss Sins

Right after the Seahawks scored a touchdown on the second half kick off, the camera cut to Peyton Manning, and even though the second half was just getting started, I knew the game was over. Defeat was written all over his face. Any hope that Denver would come back swinging in the second half was gone before the half even started.
I have to give Seattle credit too. They didn't win just because Denver melted down. They showed up ready to play the best game of their life. Their offense had no trouble moving the ball, and their defense definitely proved that they earned their status as the #1 defense in the league. If Denver had played up their usual caliber, this would have been a much closer game instead of a blow out, but Seattle definitely earned their win regardless.
In my lifetime, I've seen my Broncos win two Super Bowls, and I've watched my Jayhawks win two NCAA championships. Many fans will go their entire life without seeing their team win the 'Big One'. So even though tonight was a loss, I consider myself extremely lucky. Losing would have been easier to take if it had been a closer game, but we can't have everything LOL
