[@Th1sUsernameIsNotTaken]

@@jeffmattson5766 The play was 11 for 12 that season, and they expected NE to time out, allowing them 3 attempts to run it in. Bill chose not to, which put them in a predicament. The largest issue with the play itself was the Receiver (if you go look at the tapes, you'll see what I mean) decided to run the route lazily and nowhere near how they usually ran it. Had he ran with the agency he normally did, that pass would have never been picked, because his body would have been in the way. Best case he comes out a hero somehow catching it with Butler on him, or at worst drops it.

[@sethrich5998]

As a Seahawks fan, this was the best day in sports history. It’s really a shame that the national attention for the Seahawks was defined by that one play the following Super Bowl, it seemed to entirely erase the memory of sheer dominance from the Legion of Boom the year before, and now that’s the only thing that gets talked about. One bad play erased the most dominant defense in the modern NFL. Seeing the Chiefs go back to back can’t help but wonder what the national narrative would be if that one play had gone differently. That loss the following year broke the Seahawks.

[@michaelford404]

The thing about Super Bowl is I feel that it was a PI in the inzone that wasn't called because it was against the Patriots. The defender hit the receiver to get to the ball. In my book, that is the definition of a PI. The NFL couldn't let the Seahawks win the game, so the referees let the play stand. I am a die-hard Hawks fan so watching that play make my blood boil.

I still don't get tired of watching highlights of this game. Makes me smile!

[@Monica_aka_Kansas]

That Denver offense wasn't just a great offense, it was the most prolific offense of all time. People were handing the Broncos the trophy for 2 weeks before the game was even played. The general belief was that the NFL was now an offensive league, and that the Seahawks were about to get a rude awakening when they met a truly great offensive team. Side note. The NFC championship that year was the real Superbowl. A down to the wire game with the 49ers decided by a tipped pass for an interception in the end zone to seal the game. Warren Moon was commenting and screamed like a little girl. The 49ers also had a punishing defense that also would have throttled the Broncos had they won the NFC championship.

[@ClintEasywood69]

And then they played the game...lol Being in Denver at the time, the confidence was very very high, until the ball went into the inzone at the start! haha People went home from the bars after the kickoff return.

[@KingdomeBleachers]

This was the best super bowl outcome for fans of that era of Seahawks defense. Total dismantling of a record setting offense that nearly every analyst said would win the game.

[@ethanstechworld207]

Calling this the worst Super Bowl is odd in my opinion. I’ll put aside for just a second that I’m a Seahawks fan and that this was one of the greatest days of my life. But just look at this Seahawks team in the grand scheme of that season. In so many seasons we see a dominant team throughout the regular season and then they don’t show up in a playoff game. It’s very common. The most famous example is of course the Patriots loss to the Giants ruining their undefeated season. But the Seahawks in 2013 had a fantastic regular season, and a thrilling playoff series. But more importantly this all culminated into their very best game being played in the Super Bowl. They didn’t have a decent super bowl game, it was extraordinarily dominant, against the greatest offense of all time. That is rare and that is special. Zooming out from just that season, in the last 10 to 15 years, name a team more dominant than the 2013 Seahawks. That team was so dominant to another level rarely seen that they would destroy most of the super bowl teams if not all in the 21st century. That’s why a game like that was so special. It certified greatness on a level rarely ever seen before.

I believe Denver was touted as the best offense of all time before that Super Bowl, while the Hawks D always seemed to be downplayed compared to the 85 Bears and other great D's. Even here you said the D was led by the LOB, and yes, the LOB was incredible and loud about it, but the D-Line, Edge and LBs on this team were incredible as well. Brandon Mebane, Red Bryant, Chris Clemons, Michael Bennett, Cliff Avril, Bruce Irvin, Bobby Wagner, KJ Wright, and Malcom Smith as well as other rotational role players that were undervalued in the league. As Sherm said about the second game against the 9ers that season, "Y'all thought this was a matchup....Mismatch!"

[@BrokeredHeart]

If you watch the 10 year anniversary videos the Seahawks put together for their Super Bowl run, Sherman points out pretty early what the secret to the Broncos success was - late game drives against gassed defenses. If Denver couldn't move the ball against their opponents for all 4 quarters, you had to find your last reserves against Peyton in the fourth. So the game plan for the Hawks was to stifle them early, and use their conditioning to keep pace with the offense late in the game. They studied film religiously, they ran drills to cover Welker and Thomas specifically, and they had some very timely turnovers to put the game away before the halftime show rolled out. The Broncos still hung more than 300 yards on them, racking up more than 100 yards in penalty flags to move the ball, and only came away with one scoring drive and a 2 pt conversion. Hard to overcome 4 turnovers in the biggest game and come away with a win. And it's not to diminish the efforts of the offense or even special teams for Seattle - they scored in all 3 aspects of the game, with a rushing TD, 2 receiving TDs, and Harvin returning a second half kick-off for the back-breaker. It may have been a snoozefest for the non-Seattle fans watching from home, and an absolute nightmare for Denver fans, but what looks like on paper as the "worst" Super Bowl in years was the greatest night in Seahawks history. Plus, I would contend that with Super Bowl LV behind us, that stands to be the other worst blowout of recent memory.

[@just_radical]

If you can only appreciate a game if it's competitive you're a weak sports fan. Every so often you just need to see a team get absolutely embarrassed and destroyed. This game was a work of art. It even provided an opening act to the next two Super Bowls as the Seahawks looked unstoppable only to be beaten at the one yard line by the Patriots the next year, and for Peyton to have his moment of redemption and go out on top in Super Bowl 50. Saying this was bad is like saying it was bad Goku and Piccolo got one shot by Raditz, or that Ichigo getting embarrassed by Byakuya was bad. Those losses were important moments in the build up of the narrative.

[@mikedangerdoes]

Damn that's a weak take and a crap analogy. This game was extremely disappointing not because the defence was good, but because the Broncos failed to turn up on almost any level. They collapsed, and at the pinnacle event that's not a good look. To extend your comparison, it would be like if Goku turned up to Namek and got completely shit-canned by Frieza. Forty episodes of training and build up or whatever just to get rolled like he didn't know how to fight. How would that suit your narrative?

the hawks were arguably the best defense in NFL history and they showed up and showed off on the biggest stage, I do not think this was the worst Superbowl ever, it was a phenomenal game. one sided yes, but it was a defensive masterclass that I feel privileged to have watched live. the broncos offense did fine, the hawks defense did better. much better.

​@user-wx3fm4gc2dI disagree. As a non-Seahawks fan, even I was impressed by the defensive effort. Definitely not the most entertaining SB by any stretch, but that shouldn't be the measure if you're a true football fan. Bill Burr has the best take on this Super Bowl.

I'd say the more recent Patriots vs Rams Super Bowl was the worst. Neither side showed up, Incredibly boring game. Goff and Brady put on an exhibition of bad football. At least in the 55-10 game we got to see excellence from one team. The Rams - Pats game was just putrid. (With Kupp and a healthy Gurly the Rams probably steam roll them)

[@KorithStoneheart]

So in that game, the Broncos got down the field and scored twice. And it was 10-0 as a recall before the Niners scored 55 unanswered points. Point being that Elway got two scoring drives while Manning only got ONE. Elway wasn't running the too offense of all time, either just saying

Worst Super Bowl??! 😂😂😂 You forgot the 12s showed up to the game in force. John Fox didn’t believe the 12s would be a factor so he didn’t have them prepare with noise. In the end, and from the very beginning, Manning and the offense couldn’t handle it.😂

I was at this game. I heard denver fans talking a lot of smack. Once the game started with that first snap going over Manning's head into the end zone, they didn't have a lot to say. And it just got worse for Denver and better for Seattle. So I got to be at the Super Bowl that the Hawks won.

[@AdrielDesign]

Legion of Boom was historically amazing. But two things missed here: 1.) Hawks are the only team ever to score a touchdown in all three phases of the game. Offense, defense and special teams. 2.) It is a stalled offense that begins its opponent's offensive comeback. The D was always fresh because our offense had possession for so long. This is exactly what every team tries to do each week.
