I fell asleep mid second half grrrrrr!

Awesome win for the Seahawks.

I feel for Manning, his season efforts deserved the win.

Seahawks, cos a seahawk is infinitely cooler than a horse. They'll still lose though

Great result, but my sports prediction skills obviously need a bit of work 🙂

Dammit, went to bed early to find out a linebacker got MVP costing me £60 on SportingIndex.

That was a real throwback to the 80s.

I wouldn't beat yourself up. I also predicted a Broncos win. Didn't most people - once they saw the pitch wasn't frozen or covered in snow? I wanted the Seahawks to win though and was thinking they might at the end of the first quarter. I drifted off sometime between the middle of the second, missed half time 🙁 and woke up again a few minutes into the third. Fell back asleep by the end of the third but still couldn't believe the extent of the Broncos' capitulation. 😯

Well done Seahawks. Another name on the trophy. 19 different winners in 48 championships. It'll probably be a different (but possibly not a new one) one next year too. It's one of the great things about the NFL. It throws up season after season of great games. It's a pity the SB was a bit one-sided, but nobody will be complaining in Seattle this morning.

Disappointment of the season for me was Pittsburgh's terrible start and injury list. And Cincinnati's early exit from the play-offs. Can't wait till next season already.

Thought it be a really close game with the Broncos just getting it. Seattle were all over them offense and defense, nothing went right for Bronco's from play one and Manning was getting no protection from his line.

Mate predicted the Superbowl teams at the start of the season with Seattle winning shame he didn't put any money on it.

Didn't watch it, too late for me, but thrilled that the 'Hawks got it at last! I've been sort of following American Football since it first started on C4 in the 80's, and settled on the Seahawks as 'my' team not long after, even getting a custom players shirt made up. A bit tight fitting on me now...
Great result after all this time. 😀
