yah, he'll show up...let's hope he gets some stick-em on those gloves of his.  In any case, this contest will be about Seattle defending against Peyton Manning's arm, and Denver trying to defend against Marshawn Lynch and his incredible running game.  Seattle showed last weekend that they have no qualms about letting Marshawn run the ball every single time, and when he is pounding against your defense every time, it wears them down quickly.  Marshawn starts out making 4-5 yards on a carry, the 7-9 yard third down conversion runs, then 11-12 first down carries on first down.  Eventually he finds a hole all the way through the backfield and he's gone for the endzone.

My biggest concern is penalties.  The Superbowl is about who can play the best technical game of football, and Seattle is the most heavily penalized team in the NFL despite their record.  If they cannot control the stupid penalties, specifically the Unsportsmanlike Conduct, Un-necessary Roughness, Roughing the passer/kicker, and so forth, then they do not deserve to win and likely will not.  You simply cannot give your Superbowl opponent 100+ penalty yards and still expect to win.

We shall see....

Seattle kept those type of personal fouls out of the 49rs game despite all the hype that this rivalry match was going to be full of fights and personal fouls.  You had an uncalled cheap shot on Jeremy Lane on the side line and  then Sherman drew a  flag after his tipped pass.  That was about it.  Both teams I think were coached not to draw costly personal fouls.
  Seattle Denver does not have this same hatred for each other. At least not since the days when they were both in the AFC West when they got pretty scrappy with each other.

Surprising... I never realized Seattle was a part of the AFC.

Old AFC West

Raiders
Seahawks
Broncos
Chargers
Chiefs

2001: The Seahawks move from the AFC West to the NFC West as the NFL realigns into eight four-team divisions. Instead of annual home-and-home games against the Broncos, Chiefs, Raiders and Chargers, the Seahawks are now matched twice a season against the 49ers, Cardinals and Rams. The Seahawks had been a member of the NFC West in their inaugural season in 1976, but moved to the AFC West in 1977. The Seahawks won the AFC West title in 1988 and 1999, and captured the NFC West championship from 2004-07 and also in 2010.

Excellent points all, but Seattle still goes into the Superbowl as the most heavily penalized team in the NFL this season, and that alone puts them at a disadvantage.  If anything sinks them it will be penalties at critical junctures, which in the Superbowl means almost every single play.

Best technical game of football....

How is it that the sports media is failing to speak about this incident?   The out of bounds cheap shot against Seahawk Jeremy Lane by a not suited-up 49r.    This is by far more controversial than Sherman in the heat of the moment yelling at the camera incident.  Whoever this guy in the sweats was needs to be fined heavily if not face suspension.

All true, but looking at this penalty by year chart Denver is not far behind them.
