So many dropped passes. Looks like they spent the week listening to how they would smoke Pittsburgh.

And that's another.

Has to be 6 or 7 drops now by the Broncos.

Edit. 10 Drops! That's crazy for a quarter and a half of football.

Hate to say this but I think Peyton is ready to retire the way he's playing right now. He looks much slower and not as effective passer anymore. Of course you can't blame him for the dropped passes though.

Turnovers the issue, and not recovering the fumble right after the long initial run on the 1st play of the game would've meant 7 less points and also a lot less confidence Carolina had...put it this way, they wouldn't have gone up 31-0 or even 24-0 at the half if that happens.

Be that as it was, as usual, its subtle plays that make a huge difference. CAR had two first downs by a combined 4 inches in the 4th Q, on 3rd down. On each of those first downs, CAR went three and out the next set of downs.

If those go as 4th down instead, they likely punt (both were in their own end), but more importantly, there is 3 or more minutes on the clock (so almost 4:30 left when CAR got the ball) and Seattle may well have gotten the ball back. So, given the way that 2nd half was moving along, hardly can say "never in doubt".

If fishes were wishes.

We can play the "if" game until the Lions win a Superbowl, but that doesn't change the fact of what actually occurred.

This game was no longer in doubt about half way thru the 2nd quarter.

Carolina was the better team today....it happens.

[Frank MetaMusil]

That's a weak call.

[ResAlien]

With how Denver's offence is playing giving up a TD here might be enough to end it.

Why go with those if's, the if's that should be talked about where the plays the seahawks actually had control over:

in the 1st half instead of going on 4th and 5th take the FG.

Now at the end of the game where they actually kicked the FG and then onside kick, they go for 4th and whatever and convert it. At that point they just need the TD and not the TD and FG

[Senator Clay Davis]

He's not touched, so this is gonna stand if challenged.

[GirlySports]

They called a timeout to run that?

[Senator Clay Davis]

More abysmal clock management. That should be the story of the weekend.

[GirlySports]

Turnovers are killer

[nik-]

Just started watching this game. Is Peyton that finished? They never threw once on that drive.

Steel can win with a 2pc

Does Tomlin have some Riverboat Ron in him? Doesn't seem like the type.

[Senator Clay Davis]

Well there's another time out that really was a waste. A 2 yard play out of it costs 19 seconds.

[ResAlien]

Even if that was a fumble Miller dropped the ball before getting into the endzone.

[Senator Clay Davis]

Peyton-Brady, one final time. Never has their gap in play been bigger.

Broncos at home this time though.

Yeah, and I was diagreeing that it was "never in doubt" which was your statement. Just watch the Carolina sideline the last half of the 4th.

Manning gets it done. Good for him.
