Any given team on any given Sunday is always the mantra, but Peyton is wrong: their performance was "embarrassing" -- be honest. No doubt he is a great quarterback, will go into the Hall of Fame with big numbers and great volumes of rhetoric from the mumble-bumble talking heads, but a previous post has it right: the "great ones" win the big ones. At no time did Manning, the Broncos, or their superstar management show any signs of pulling it together and overcoming the barrage of the Seahawk defense, say nothing of an offense that put up 43 points literally at will. If Manning and/or the Broncos are not embarrassed, it is just because they haven't seen the film yet.
Now I see the Broncos set a new NFL record by losing the Super Bowl for the fifth time. And then to have the audacity to go to the microphone and say "we didn't train for the crowd noise ..." Are you kidding me!?!?!?!?
Pete Carroll and the Seahawks hierarchy have made a statement about how to put a team together, teach them to play the game, and use them to their ability. That was one of the most dominating games I remember watching. I have never seen a defense that was in the league those guys were on that day.
