Is a Denver vs Seattle Super Bowl inevitable? (1 Viewer)

[Hoss Style]

The OP title sure seems to be spot on.

Is is sunny and 75 in Denver during January now?

Actually, it probably will be sunny. I used to work with the travel industry for a bit and one of the famous hooks that Denver uses to bring business to their convention center is that "Denver has more sunny days than San Diego" - it's sunny almost every frikkin day here.

As for the temp? If it is indeed sunny on the January days they play, then it could be 15 degrees or a nice 45-50. Happens all the time here. You can never tell.

ETA - Just went and checked the averages - it averages a high of mid 40's during January (they take the temp in the shade - in the sun it's usually 50+ degrees). The lows are in the teens, but it usually hits those temps around 3 in the morning. Just three years ago I remember we had a run of 60-70 degree days in January.

Denver's not too bad of a place to play for Manning, even if you believe he's not a "cold weather" guy.

The Patriots can beat the Broncos (obviously).

The Panthers can beat the Seahawks.

I think one of these 2 will happen in the playoffs.

Newton in Seattle=complete meltdown IMO

I think the 49ers can beat the Seahawks in Seattle, not sure about the Saints after tonight but I wouldn't rule it out.

Did you not see the last 2 games the 49ers have played in Seattle? Combined score from both games is 71-16 in the Hawks favor. Both games were blow outs.

 

[Hoss Style]

For Denver and Seattle fans both - it's never as good as it seems and never as bad.

I don't think either team will have a walk in the park to the Super Bowl.

What gives you any indication of that? Last year they were in top form when they went up there and got smoked. This year, after putting up ridiculous numbers the week before, they got smoked. Not sure there's any reason to think SF would win up there this year. The team isn't as good right now as it was last year in it's Kaep-Crazed march the SB.

 

[Coolerheads]

Probably been mentioned before (didn't bother to read all nine pages,) but the last time the #1 NFC seed met the #1 AFC seed was in 1993 (Cowboys and Bills.)

So, short answer: "No."

 

[Sabertooth]

HFA has inside track and I think it goes as follows:

Saints Lose (@SEA) Possible Loss (@ATL - division game on road)

Packers Lose (NONE) Possible Loss (@DET - division game on road)

Seattle Lose (@ATL, @SF) Possible Loss (@NYG - east coast)

49ers Lose (@NO) Possible Loss (@WAS - RG3 Back in form???) - as a note I picked upset of the week as Jax over 49ers this weekend but I am not counting on it

In the end:

#1 Saints (3 Losses) - 2 conference losses - common opponents (4-1 / ATL, @ATL, DAL, @CHI, 49ers) - Strength of Victory (Very Similar) - Overall Strength (NFC West Strong)

#2 Packers (3 Losses) - 2 conference losses - common opponents (4-1 / ATL, DAL, CHI, @CHI, @49ers) - Strength of Victory (Very Similar) - Overall Strength (NFC EAST Weak)

Seattle (4 Losses)

49ers (4 Losses)

I love how this guy has the Seahawks beating the Saints and losing to the Falcons and possibly the Giants. And the Packers losing none, only possibly against Det.

That's the "BEARS ####### SUCK ####" guy from the MNF thread. He won't be coming back to answer this bump.

Packers still the team to beat though, lead pipe lock for the playoffs and another Super Bowl title. /Sabertool

They lost their QB, WR, TE, both Tackles, and best defensive back? Whatayagonnado?

Championship games:

Patriots / Broncos

Panthers / Seahawks

I'll be cheering for Panthers and Peyton but wouldn't be upset to see two Big 10 QBs in the Super Bowl.

 

[Breesisdaman]

The Saints and Panthers will likely split each winning on their home turf. New Orleans would have to also loose an additional game while the Panthers remain intact with a better record than the Saints. The only way I see the Panthers passing the Saints in the division is if they sweep the Saints. The Saints are going to be a mighty angry team Sunday night playing at home trying to redeem themselves after a tough loss. I just don't see the Panthers sweeping the Saints. They are not that complete of a team.

 

[Donnybrook]

Probably inevitable.

Probably not inevitable.

You waffle more times than Brett Favre did on his retirement.

 

[IHEARTFF]

Seattle has the best HFA in the NFL, which they will need to navigate 2 of SF, No, Car, Det. Denver has an easier road b/c other than NE, the AFC is much weaker than the NFC playoff teams.

I'd say Seattle has a minimum 55% of making the SB.

Denver is 50%.

Den-Sea SB is 28%. Those are conservative estimates, could be even higher.

Rams can beat the Saints. Meanwhile, the Panthers get the Jets and Falcons.

Plus, I think the "they're angry" line is overplayed.

 

[IHEARTFF]

Saints will be playing loose.

Saints will be playing not to lose.

Saints will be playing not too loose.

wat

 

[Breesisdaman]

14 victories in a row at home is over played too I guess. We will not loose in the Dome, so the Rams is the Game that could swing it the Panthers way if the Saints do not take them seriously . Injuries are always a concern this time of year as well too. Players are getting banged up so that will change things for someone.

The 49ers are the 2nd best team in the NFC IMO and they were in the Super Bowl a year ago. They are also the last team to win in Seattle.

Sleep on them all you want, I won't.

As much as it leaves a sour taste in my mouth, I am pulling for the 49ers.

I'm sure imthescientist handed you your name tag when you got in line and sweeney pointed out where the restrooms were.

Poor Seattle; they are the New York Knicks living in the Chicago Bulls dynasty era. THey have a short window to win before the cheap talent needs paid and they just happen to be viable and very good at a time when Manning and Brady are both on a mission, the harbaugh brothers are both very competent, Carolina has one of the most dynamic players in the league.

Seattle looks so good right now but something just tells me that, like all those Knicks teams, they walk and talk like giants until they run into Jack the giant-killer. Its impressive to bully 90% of the league but it means nothing when there is that 1-2% out there that can bring you down. If they stay healthy, nothing will stop the Broncos this year (and no, I am not a fan).

I know now is not then but if Crabtree and Kaep can get back to looking even 80% of what they did at the end of last season in the next month, I wouldn't punch the Seattle ticket immediately.

 

[Doctor Detroit]

Green Bay is going to add that 14th Championship this season.

Nothing has changed. They weren't going to get home field anyway. They will still make the playoffs. Rodgers, Cobb, Matthews, and Jones will all be healthy then. Lead pipe lock.

Green Bay is 1/2 a game out of the lead in the North. If Rodgers and Cobb can come back on schedule they'll be in the playoffs. At that point they roll. Just like a few years ago they'll be the hottest team in the NFL entering the playoffs and brush aside the pretenders with relative ease.

Yeah, I think the Seattle fans are going to be awfully disappointed this year. If they could play every game at home (who knew 67,000 people in sandals and socks could be so loud?), you could probably pencil them in right now. But on a neutral field? I think Denver wins, and I doubt it's even close.

Even as the top team in the league (and the favorite), as of last week football outsiders gave them a less than 1 in 4 chance to win the super bowl. Even if you're the best team, nothing is guaranteed, and it's much more likely someone else wins the Super Bowl than it is that the Seahawks win it. Even if they're the favorite.

In fact, the odds that the Seahawks win the Super Bowl, as of last week (according to FO anyway) are worse than the Saints odds were going into the game last night. And we saw how that turned out.

The Seahawks look really good, but so did the Patriots in 2007 and a host of other outstanding teams that didn't win it all.

 

[biju]

I love all of the people who are saying the Seahawks won't be able to win once Russell Wilson gets paid. These people are fans of the Packers, Broncos, and Saints and I can't imagine it's entirely lost on them they fact that they are basically saying you can't field a Championship caliber team by overpaying for a QB. Or did you mean something else by "short window"?

not sure if you are referring to my post but in my case, I meant several players, not just the QB. Just typical "lots of guys looking like they are playing well enough to get paid" type scenario where it will challenge their cap which, in turns, challenges depth and that is the real killer for any team, especially one that plays very physically.

That's not exactly correct. Some of us are saying they won't be able to win before that.

In fantasy and real-life, that 2007 Patriots team has kind of become the object that reels in my expectations/frustrations, etc in football. That team truly looked like there was no way to beat them; yet, they lost. So I'm guessing that was more frustrating in real life than anything I as a fantasy owner or fan of a team could ever be frustrated with.

Seattle looks great right now but I just can't think that if Manning is playing like he is now in the playoffs, I don't see a way to beat the Broncs. A gunslinger QB like Brees can have the night he had last night but that won't happen to Peyton. He will simply dissect what is there and the Broncos have the wr weapons to get the job done.

 

[proninja]

I didn't think brees had a bad night. He didn't try to force passes where they didn't fit, and he only had one bad miss I can remember when he overthrew an open Graham by just a bit.

He put some long throws on the money, but the Seahawks defenders won every down field battle. There always seemed to be a hand in the way. Not sure a qb could have done much else than he did. He's outstanding.

You're a joke if epic proportions. Rattling off stats and stats and stats of how awesome the Ssints are but anything that favors Seattle is immaterial, overhyped and meaningless. You're the ITS of the Saints.

It's a hobby here for people to attribute things to Seahawk fans that no Seahawk fans said. And yes, they can.

 

[T with T]

As of right now it clearly looks like Sea is the team to beat. Especially at HOME. Can we all agree on that. Denver looks like best afc outside of maybe NE. Sea/Car at Den/NE... You can basically pick 2 out of them 4 to play in the superbowl . Im saying Broncos/Seahawks myself.

 

[kyoun1e]

I'd watch out for Baltimore. If they can beat NE at home they could make some noise. Tough team. Experienced. Can play outdoors in the cold.

Unlike frauds NO who have lost to Seattle, NE, and the Jets of all teams away from the dome.

 

[Maik Jeaunz]

Again, this is one of the dumbest arguments that I hear/read ALL THE TIME.

Sure Seattle has some elite players coming up that are due for huge raises, but do you people ever stop to think about all the players that Seattle is OVERPAYING right now?

Zach Miller is the highest paid TE in the NFL this year, but his cap number gets cut in half next year. Sidney Rice's 8 million salary this year will be off the next. Red Bryant, and Chris Clemons are both also making way more than they will be next season, and I could go on. This is how Seattle will be able to pay their young studs. By stopping the paydays coming to their underperforming vets.

I agree but it is important that I highlight part of your post. Things can turn fast so this is far from set in stone.

So does this mean your weekly "lead pipe lock" posts are finally ending? Only took three losses and a tie, and we all pretty much knew he'd be out about this long. He was hurt on November 4th FWIW, you continued the brushing aside pretenders shtick for three whole weeks after!

You forget the first match up ago last season, with Alex Smith at QB.

SEA can lose. Harbaugh ain't a dumb coach who Carroll is perfect against , in college and in the NFL. He can beat Carroll, and that is proven. He can do it without a passing game too.

If the crowd noise in SEA has had a true impact historically, then maybe you would be the new Noisy Tundra. Sorry proninja, I'm going away from being classy here. But the reality is that Seahawk fans ultimately have nothing to do with the impact of their chosen franchise. You have a really good team now that is poised for a deep run. Many teams have had that without a home field advantage. You can scream as much as you want, but it still does not make Rick Mirer into Joe Montana, no matter what Bill Walsh would had thought.

But every team poised for a deep run can be stopped. Every team can lose at home. It's happened to the best teams in regular season record. It's the playoffs.

What's funny is that all of the sudden Harbaugh can't beat SEA and Carroll. He switched QB's last season and fell just a play short of winning the Super Bowl. All of the sudden, I'm thinking Vince Young and the Texas Longhorns here. Like Carroll can't be beat in big games. Harbaugh in two seasons lost an NFCC and a Super Bowl. Carroll in four couldn't even get past a division round twice, with two different QBs that weren't switched in mid-season.
