Some great points mate, especially the time of possession angle because as we have seen, starve Manning of the ball and it becomes harder for him to win... Taking a different angle however, I personally think Seattle's DLine is the key... If they get pressure on Manning and dont give him time in the pocket then it will go a long way to Seattle winning... If The Bronco's Oline keeps Manning upright and gives him time in the pocket it wont matter who is in the defensive secondary..... "Legion of Juice" of not.... Manning will put up points and I think 27+ points should win this game, which manning can do against anyone given time to throw.
Denver's Dfense is good enough to make key plays when they count and even if Lynch has a good game I think there are enough playmakers on that D to be able to hold their own as long as the offense is playing well. Dont be suprised if Denver D sells out to the run and makes WIlson throw it, as long as they set the edge and dont let him tuck it and run.
Everyone's going on about Seattles secondary, but they are going up against ELITE WR's.... Denvers secondary is not too bad either with DRC and Chris Harris (Also Champ cannot be written off) and they have a much easier match-up with the Seahawks receivers.... You'd back Denvers secondary to at least break even 1-on-1 with the Hawks receivers which should allow them to stuff the box and make it harder for Lynch and Co to move the chains rushing...
Great points. I think it is going to be a great game and can't wait (took the day off work special!)
