#SpiritOf12s SEAHAWKS vs #UnitedInOrange BRONCOS
#UnitedInOrange (15-3)
The Broncos have been getting after it in the postseason not just on Offense but on Defense. Manning Mile High and the Broncos Offense is averaging around 26 ppg but on Defense giving up just 16.5 ppg. Manning has used all his weapons specifically TE Julius Thomas and WR Demaryius Thomas. Wes Welker and Eric Decker though can explode at any moment in the game as Decker also runs back Punts. Can the Broncos Run Game behind RB Knowshon Moreno be effective? Can that WR Screen Pass be effective as a Broncos Staple to #88?
The Broncos on "D" need to stop where it starts for 12's and that is with Seahawks RB Marshawn Lynch. They didn't give anything up to the Bolts or Pats Run Games and that was key to slowing down both. DT Terrance Knighton has been huge for that New Orange Crush "D" as has Bolts Castoff DE/OLB Shaun Phillips. Both Backers Wes Woodyard and Danny Trevathan along with Nate Irvin will be monumental in the Broncos Success if they can help contain both Beast Mode and Russell Wilson. Can the Back End and CBs slow down the Seahawks Passing Attack with Percy Harvin on board?
#SpiritOf12s (15-3)
The Seattle Seahawks have average right at 23 points for both games and they have been doing it by what the Defense gives them. Marshawn Lynch has carried the load in both of those outings getting 140 on Who Dat and 109 on the Niners. The Passing game will have to win the Super Bowl or a solid Mix of both as the Broncos will be trying to stuff the run to make Russ Wilson beat them. Percy Harvin will be in the mix heavy as will both WRs in Golden Tate and Doug Baldwin who gave the Niners 106 Yards grabbing Six Pigs. Remember Lynch is also dynamic in the Screen Passing Game as is Harvin and that has to be the Broncos concern getting hat on both in the open field.
The "D" is #1 in four Key Categories during the season in Points Allowed. They have only allowed 16 ppg in two games in the post season which is two points above their season average of 14.4 ppg. The Pass Defense was giving up only 180 ypg and Brees threw for 309. Kaepernick for the 49ers only threw for 153 but they are ball-controlled offense. Can the Seahawks Front get to Manning Mile High and slow down the Run? Can the Seahawks slow down Broncos TE Julius Thomas with Safeties Earl Thomas III or Cam Chancellor as you cannot put a Backer on J.T. he will eat? Can the "Legion of Boom" get away with what they get away with and the Zebras put the Blinders when the Broncos are passing? The Seahawks have numbers on their side as four times the #1 "O" has face the #1 "D" in the Super Bowl and the "D" is 3-1.
Winner: SEAHAWKS 30-26...in an Old AFC West Backyard Boogie!
