Peyton at the Bowl

Image and video hosting by TinyPic

The Outlook wasn't brilliant for the Bronco men that day:
The score stood forty three to eight, with one more down to play.
So did that stricken multitude in melancholy howl,
For there seemed but little chance of Peyton's winning Super Bowl.

There was ease in Peyton's manner as he stepped into his place;
There was pride in Peyton's bearing and a smile on Peyton's face.
And when, responding to the cheers, the blitz began to hit,
No stranger in the crowd could doubt 'twas Peyton's final bit.

Oh, somewhere in this favored land the sun is shining bright;
The band is playing somewhere, and somewhere hearts are light,
And somewhere men are laughing, and somewhere children shout;
There's no joy in Mile High Mudville - mighty Peyton has struck out.

  1. Damn. I knew Seattle was going to win, but holy crap. That was a beat down.

  2. Yeah. I think everybody envisioned a much closer game. Starting with Peyton...

  3. Oh that hurt! I was rooting for Denver, but I didn't think they could pull it off. The AFC just wasn't ready for the NFC this year.

  4. God only knows how bad it would have been if Manning had been dumb enough to throw to Sherman's side of the field. He didn't, so we'll never know.

  5. Nothing is ever so bad that it can't get worse! Peyton knew when Seattle scored a safety on the coin toss that he was in for a long night!

  6. The Hawks broke the Manning code. The game the Hawks played is the same game the 49ers play (and with similar QB styles)--hence the reason they seemed so much more evenly matched in their 2nd and 3rd match ups this year.

  7. The 'hawks must have figured out 'Omaha' was in Nebraska!
