How the Seahawks cracked the Manning Code...

This article by Kevin Clark at the WSJ is spot on...
The first rule of facing Manning is don't blitz. According to Pro Football Focus, there were 184 instances this season when brave, foolish souls blitzed Manning; he devastated them in response, compiling a quarterback rating above 100 in those situations. 
The point of blitzing—that is, sending defenders other than linemen to rush the quarterback—is to get the quarterback uncomfortable, gambling that he won't be able to find the hole in the defense that was created when the blitzing player left his post. That doesn't work on Manning. The Seahawks knew this, so they tried something else. 
On Denver's first third down of the game, Seattle sent only three pass rushers. The rest dropped into coverage. This is almost unheard of in the NFL. The play resulted in a short three-yard completion that forced a punt. In another critical instance, the Seahawks sent the standard four pass rushers—yet defensive end Cliff Avril got to Manning anyway, hitting his arm as he threw. Because linebacker Malcolm Smith wasn't blitzing, he was there to intercept the floating pass and return it for a backbreaking touchdown...
This is a very good article.  It is not that Peyton Manning had a bad day, it is that the Seahawks were dialed in on what exactly they had to do to contain the Broncos and then they performed very well.
I think we call can figure out what that hand signal means...
Richard Sherman also says they cracked Peyton Manning's hand signals and knew every play...

And as soon as the parade is over, the team can enjoy their time off (including the SeaGals):



Fitzy (as always) gives a Patriot Centric view of things, but I agree with his words about Manning...

Half Time Super Bowl 2014

This is going okay so far...


Trooper York had the best one yet:

Sorry Peyton

I know it was terrible. It will haunt you dreams. But it will pass. You will forget someday. Just put back on your dress and concentrate on your job.

And oldie but a goodie! Peyton and Eli Rap Rule 5 (back up singers unless you are into Archie, Peyton and Eli)



This is an oldie I have posted before, the Mannings rap about football on your phone...

Did Eli scam fans with bogus "game worn" gear?  Say it ain't so Eli, say it ain't so!
