FYI. The person who asked that Bronco player if it was a must win game (actually asked everyone he could) was doing it as a joke to break the ice. I'm not sure if you saw it in context and missed it or just read the reports where the other press there were too self serious to get it but yeah...
Huh...I didn't hear the entire context so...OK then. Still an awkward joke...
Whatever,
today in the media we learned that KJ Wright and Bobby Wagner have their Superbowl plates FULL,
http://www.seahawks.com/news/articles/article-1/Bobby-Wagner-and-KJ-Wright-have-a-lot-on-their-Super-Bowl-plates/3d18efe8-1675-41e3-8f3a-63b3c7982031 because Manning is destined to win of course.
We also discovered that the media LOVES the word "upstart" when describing the Seahawks. Seriously, Seattle is an upstart while Denver is experienced. How did you not know that??? Of course pointing out that a similar team, the Buccaneers, who were also the "upstarts" and had a terrific defense won their Superbowl in part BECAUSE they had no experience, and so no pressure (don't believe me? Ask Warren Sapp and Derrick Brooks), will get you nowhere! Implying that because of all the ridiculous legacy talk, and the fact that Seattle is the "villains" and the underdogs, all the pressure is on Denver, will get you just as nowhere.
It was insinuated today that Russell Wilson is too young to take seriously because he said something about changing the way we view the QB position, and OBVIOUSLY that's just silly! Thankfully Kurt Warner was right there to put the "upstart" in his place! Clearly only pocket passers can ever be relevant because Kurt Warner said so. At least someone meekly pointed out that Wilson does try to throw even when he's scrambling, but that got mostly talked over.
Also, we discovered that two former Buccaneers defensive stars, (Derrick Brooks and Warren Sapp), think the Seahawks defense is good, but come on man....you have to do it for years like they did before you can talk about how good the Seahawks defense is.
CLEARLY it was a ridiculous question, as the derisive laughter from Sapp and Brooks proved! Seriously, these UPSTARTS, who do these Seahawks think they are???
Manning practiced in the cold today so...no problems! They got this! Cuz Manning!!!
Seattle was silly by tipping their hand and letting everyone know that they play the same defense (cover 3 single safety deep hybrid), because Manning will find the weakness and exploit it. Apparently great defenses don't just say, this is what we do, come beat us. Even though the Bears (played almost exclusively 4-6) Tampa Bay (cover 2) and well...every other great defense did that, Seattle shouldn't because... well, because MANNING!!
Most importantly, we learned again today that, the media is VERY important!!!
