No.. Denver's defense IS atrocious. They're absolutely terrible against the pass and their numbers against the run are inflated because their high-octane offense was blowing out every cupcake on the schedule forcing their opponents to abandon the run.
Seattle will be full strength on offense for only the second time this year.. they're also full strength on defense. But yes, Denver will walk all over them because offense always wins championships..
Oh wait.. it doesn't..
Of the top 8 scoring teams in NFL history.. 0 won a Super Bowl
Of the 5 #1 offense vs. #1 defense match-ups in the Super Bowl.. the top offense is 1-4
Forget the fact that the weather is likely going to suck and that again favors Seattle.
again, context..the teams with better defense also had better QBs to begin with. And like I said, this seahawks compares more to last year SF which also lost.
LOL superior offense beats defense when defense has no offense to help them And Seattle has no offense.
Context...Denver has been so far ahead in games that teams got lots of passing yards to try and catch up...but you knew that of course? and its only the Dallas game and the loss to the patriots that make that stat look
more legit/bad than it really is.
the lame weather argument is all Seattle has hope for. It might be a real cold day but it will take more than that to stop the incredibly more experienced Denver against the young ,wide eyed, confused Seahawks that will be so tired after the opening of the game they'll be gassed when they need their energy most.
Of the 5 #1 offense vs. #1 defense match-ups in the Super Bowl.. the top offense is 1-4
context..that has less to do with the defenses rank and more to do with how that teams offense was and how they matched up with who they were playing on both sides of the ball.
dude, I hate to break this to you but Seattle doesn't in any way remotely compare to
79 Steelers
85 49ers
91 Giants
or the 03 Bucs
Seattle doesn't have a veteran QB or an elite coaching staff. That stat about number 1 defenses is meaningless for this game.
