The Broncos are a very average team that got to the Superbowl purely on the back of Peyton Manning. How far would they have got with Cutler? or worse...Tebow?


Don't mention Tebow. You know who will get all fired up and tell you that Tebow has just as many rings wearing the Orange as Peyton.


I don't know what happened to Manning. He looked like a deer in the headlights like I expected Russell to look like. With the seattle rush he had no chance to throw the ball downfield which he is good at.
I think the first play of the game completely changed the mindset of the entire Broncos team, and they weren't able to overcome that. From that point forward, they were all playing like "WTF is happening to us?"

Lost in the scoreboard numbers is the fact that Manning threw a Super Bowl record 34 completions.

So Belichek isn't a HOF coach? I would be a lot more impressed if a Brady led team would win a SB by more than three points. Thank goodness he had Adam Vinateri or he could easily be 0 for 5.

Elway did a good job getting three crappy teams to the SB but the AFC was weak at that time. From 81 to 96, the only AFC team to win the SB was the Raiders in 83. I can only imagine how many SB's that the 49ers would have gone to if they were in the AFC during that period.

If you are going to discredit Montana then I hope that you would extend the same courtesy to Bradshaw who probably had way more HOF'ers on his teams than Montana did. The same goes to Aikman.
