Just want to point out I told you so.
Seahawks > Denver
Denver will be doing a lot of this against the hawks.
Not if you enjoy a true defensive game. I have always been a fan of a great defense in sports, when everything is clicking like it was for Seahawks, defense wins every time.
Scary part is they still have some growing to do. Depending on how the contracts go for all these young guys, if they play the cards right, they will just get stronger and better!
So glad they didn't give the MVP to Russ Wilson just because he's the QB
Someone/anyone from that Defense deserved it. Chancellor played his ass off too.

I don't know of anyone who can take down the Seahawks next year, well the Niner's can, but Kap's will choke most likely.
If the bronco's do come back, good luck against the hawks or the niners.

Cardinals are a couple pieces away from being filthy nasty. It's conceivable the three best teams in the NFC (hell, NFL) all play in the West next year.
imp:
I don't think the Niners will be as good next year.
First of all, Bowman tore up his knee and probably won't be ready for week 1. And when he does come back, he won't be the same player for at least a few months, if he ever gets back to form.
Secondly, Justin Smith, their star DT is gonna be 35 come September. That's pretty old for any position other than QB. How effective do you really think he'll be?
Thirdly, Boldin will be 34 himself. He'll be lucky to put up a similar season as this year so late in his career. And...they might not even resign him anyway since he's due 6MM next year.
Lastly, Frank Gore is also long in the tooth at 30 years old and we've already seen him lose some quickness this year. Next year he might not even make the cut. That big 3-0 is a huge wall for RBs.
If anything, I see the Rams getting better next year and the Niners getting worse.
they called "running into the kicker" when it should've been roughing, which would have given SF a first down.
The refs also called two completely bogus personal foul penalties against the SF defense in the 1st half, one of which was on a 3rd and long incompletion.
You add up the (at least) two calls which directly affected SF and SEA drives and the game arguably could have gone either way. SF likely would have only needed a field goal to tie the game at the end of regulation and send it into overtime.
That being said, SF would've had a tougher time against DEN with both Bowman and Mike Iupati out.
It's going to make for some good regular season football next year when the AFC west plays the NFC west for inter-conference matchups. Going to be great, can't wait.
It's also going to be funny as hell watching Manning go against those elite NFC west defenses now that he can't throw deep anymore (to go along with his Rivers-esque immobility). You get pressure with your front 4 and blanket the underneath routes and there isn't a damn thing ol' Peyton can do

Broncos also fucked up big time by not preparing for the crowd noise. Peyton had to call "hut" with a foot stomp and the Seahawks got a great jump on the ball every time.
