I'm sick of hearing about number one defenses and their superiority over number one offenses. Last time I checked, the offense almost always gets the points it needs when the game's on the line and enough time's on the clock for the deciding drive (which, these days, is only about two minutes with a few time outs for a TD; even less for a field goal). If at a game's most important juncture offense usually prevails, then is it really all about the defense?

When Peyton Manning has the ball with two minutes left and the Broncos down by less than a touchdown, more often than not, they're going to score, even against a defense as stout as the Seahawks'. Give a team that extra down in place of a punt, and it's nearly impossible to stop them. Even if Seattle has the edge in the reverse situation (Broncos defense vs. the Seahawk's offense), their offense isn't nearly as good as Denver's (especially through the air). Thus, their advantage over Denver's defense is less so than Denver's offense over Seattle's defense at the end of the game.

If the game stays close, advantage Denver. But will it get to that point? Seattle's best chance at winning is likely to frustrate the Broncos early, and force them to chase throughout. A first quarter lead is probably Seattle's only chance, at least from the perspective of this Broncos supporter.

Aside from that general analysis, Seattle just has the feel of a Super Bowl loser. Since when does a team from Seattle win a major sports championship? They've got a young quarterback and a trendy offensive scheme as opposed to the Bronco's more traditional offense (in some ways). I'm finding it much harder to envision Seattle as Super Bowl winners (this year at least) than I am Denver. Down to their fashion forward bright colors and youth, they sort of remind me of the 2011 Oklahoma City Thunder (who were once the Seattle Supersonics). It wasn't that team's time, just like it's probably not the Seahawk's time tonight.
