It is sort of unfortunate that Seattle and the Broncos played earlier this year in the pre-season. The game was over in app. 1 ½ quarters with the score(27-7) &(33-7) at half time with Seattle eventually winning big by a score of 40-10.

That gave Denver a real sense of firsthand information on the magnitude of playing against Seattle defense was all about.

Russell didn’t have a problem with Denver’s defense throwing for 2 TD’s and Seattle moving the ball pretty much at will before Russell being replaced.

Moving forward to the Super Bowl, I still believe that Denver is going to have a rough time scoring. Manning appears to have success throwing into zone coverage v. man to man and if Denver gets one-dimensional because they can’t run the ball, which is a real possibility, it could get ugly for Denver real fast.
