Well, that was one of the more comprehensive beatdowns in recent memory. Congrats, Seahawk fans; no doubt about that one. ---

As I’ve said in previous threads. I like the Seattle coach so I’m happy they won. ---

Epic ass whooping. Well done, Seattle. ---

I agree that it wasn’t just Manning. Poor game all around. ---

Man, I wanted to see the Seahawks win, but I didn’t want the Broncos humiliated. I kinda wanted to see a football game. On the other hand, all of my coworkers had it for Denver, if only I’d known I could get odds on a 30 plus point game for Seattle I’d be rich. ---

I’ve been a Seahawks fan since the 1980’s. I thought I’d be screaming at the end, but I was in tears. So, so proud of our guys. ---

Those weren’t Broncos; those were rented mules. At least, Seattle whipped them like they were rented mules! ---

> [@aceplace57](#): > > Well, the good news is Manning will be back next season. I can’t see him retiring after this ass whupping. This isn’t how he wants to end it. Depends on whether or not he gets the lion’s share of the blame. It’s gotta be disheartening to do what he’s done all season and then have shit rained down on you because of one poorly played game. If winning the big game is the only acceptable end to a season, if I was him, I’d think seriously about retiring. Conference championship isn’t chopped liver, but the media and fans might make him think it is. Wish my mom and brother had lived to see this. ---

Holy crapacrapacrap! Seattle defense was amazing, Denver was-- I don’t know-- somewhere else. I’m flabbergasted. I thought this game would go to the wire. Nope. Wow. Congrats to the Seahawks and fans. ---

And with all that, Manning still set a record for most passes completed in a Super Bowl? ---

Can somebody please tell me what the hell is a “pick-six”? I don’t recall ever hearing that term before this season (granted, I really haven’t followed football closely the last few years). Is it the trendy new way to say “interception”? ---

“Pick Six” = interception returned for a touchdown. ---

It’s an interception that’s returned for a touchdown. I think they started saying it about 5 years ago. I blame Joe Buck. ---
