So now it's a good time to tell everyone I'm a broncos fan and I'm glad my team won the SB

 

 

 

 

 

Is that Geoffrey Holder from the 7up commericals from the 70s and early 80s.

I don't know

My team couldn't execute under the bright lights. Congrats to the Broncos and their great defense.

That was an awesome super bowl.



Ask stefl1504 for a sig, even if you don't need one.

The broncos are the first team to record less than 200 yards of offense in a super bowl and win. The other seven teams to do that all lost. Gonna have to go through the stats, because holy hell has a super bowl winning defense ever had to overcome such a horrible offense?

Congrats? Didn't even watch... lol.



Made a bet with LipeJJ and HylianYoshi that the XB1 will reach 30 million before Wii U reaches 15 million. Loser has to get avatar picked by winner for 6 months (or if I lose, either 6 months avatar control for both Lipe and Hylian, or my patrick avatar comes back forever).

That call is bullshit btw.

It broke the Panthers' back.

I am going to win the playoffs!

It did, and you did. Tip of the hat to you on winning the NIT!

 

That sounded a bit more sarcastic than I intended. Just a bit.

No, they didn't. Don't say such things when you didn't get paid to say them.

Well, I'm not saying it was great or anthing, but they were certainly more entertaining than Coldplay. 

That may have been the best halftime performance in recent history, and I want my thirty minutes back.

Manning is so old. Why didn't he retire when he had the chance to?

I fear this post will be reposted come August.

At least he still has more super bowl MVP trophies 

I suppose that's true: they don't put asterisks next to stolen MVP awards, after all.

The Broncos have 231 yards of offense, no?



Chris Hu on 08 February 2016

That should be right since they had 141 passing yards and 90 rushing yards.  Yahoo sports is just terrible in posting final total stats those numbers must be from the end of the third quater.  I get it now you have to subtract the yards lost via sacks (37) that is why the total yards where only 191.

Nope, after taking sacks and tackles for a loss into consideration the broncos only netted 194 yards of total offense.

Possibly Ravens/Giants.

From the stats the broncos offense is around the same level as the 2000 ravens and 2002 bucs, maybe actually a tiny bit better overall in yardage, but their offense gave up way more turnovers, and that's a big difference.  I'm still mulling over a lot of stats, trying to aggregate scoring defenses with defensive scores removed but it's a bit more difficult to find that information than I had anticipated.  That and I'm watching and listening to about a dozen different things at once.

Ah, that makes sense. I assume the Panthers were close to being under 200 yards too, right? I can't find the post-loss numbers for them.

No they got 315 total yards.
