I guess I remembered it wrong.

They were still really bad though: 6th worst in passing and with maybe the weakest schedule in the league that year.
Nah you right. Defense was bad was fukk. That season they had that game vs cowboys where cowboys scored like 50 points or something, broncos still won

This game was beautiful. That broncos team were putting up big numbers offensively and got nullified in the Superbowl. I remember the Seahawks said they were tempting Manning to throw deep because they knew he couldn't anymore and they ate up every short route
Ion even think it was the issue. Broncos had crazy injuries that year.

So going into a bad weather sb(Peyton not best in bad weather)

No running game and tbh our wrs was soft as shyt and couldn’t get off the line lol.

A safety first play from a ba kup center cause the wet field had him snap 10 inches over Peyton had was the first sign it was over.

Seahawks come down and immediately score also.

With no defense and the other team pounding the ball on your weak defense, broncos was in a bad space

Payton Manning looks funny in the light in the SB, that year with Cam Newton he had like a qb rating of 50 and the first year he won and somehow got the mvp he was 1 and 1 with rating of 80

I don’t think it had anything to do with scheme. Denver’s offensive line and skill positions got manhandled worse than in maybe any other Super Bowl. There were no running lanes for the backs, Peyton had no time to throw, and there were no windows to throw into either.
Ironically, Peyton picked them apart in the regular season rematch the following year.

We all know Manning is the biggest media darling of all time. Even in a world full of false outrage, Manning gets a free pass for getting himself in trouble and trying to blame it on a black guy per court documents. Dude had HGH delivered to.his house, threw his wife under the bus, sent the goons to Al Jazeera and the story magically disappears, never to be discussed again!! As a QB/football player, phenomenal, but also favored. 2003 was.supposed to be his coronation, NE stopped that. So they complain like crazy and get the rules changed/reemphasized.

Peyton has the best season for a QB, ever. Stage is set for him to win it all. NE stops him, again. Gets held to 3 pts in a season where he tossed 49. Couldve thrown 55-60. The next year, NE loses both coordinators and key players and they take a step back.

Manning starts off 13-0, finishes 14-2. Overwhelming favorite to win it all. Pittsburgh starts off fast and puts Indy in the hole. They are up 21-10 with about 7 mins to go in the 4th qtr.

Manning gets deceived by Polamalu who jumps a crosser and picks him off. Troy rolls three times and gets up so fast that he knees the ball out of his arms. He says eff it and decides to fall on it. After the longest review ever, they overturn the INT. Thankfully, Pittsburgh edged them out, but it was embarrassing.

Joey Porter went so far as to say the refs were cheating so Peyton Manning could win the game. He didnt even get fined for it!! Becauss they knew it was bullshyt!! The next year they fall into an 18 pt hole at home and then tje refs made some controversial calls to help aid.the comeback. Namely on Ellia Hobbs. Manning finally beats NE and goes on to win the SB. He got assistance in 3 straight seasons in order to help him get that ever elusive Superbowl win.

The accolades...Manning didnt deserve the MVP in 2008 or 2009. Yet he got it..he wasnt even a top 2 QB, either season. Yet he won them without issue.

I mightve given it to Bob Sanders. His forced fumble on Cedric Benson(RIP) changed ths complextion of the game. Then he had an INT that helped seal the deal.
He was the MVP of the entire playoff run. His returned shored up the defense. It was so powerful that it carried over to the next year, leading to a No.1 scoring defense for Indy, and a DPOY for Sanders.
