I like Manning, he is an all-time great and by all accounts a class act. However, I think Manning and the Broncos should be embarrassed with the performance they put on yesterday..It was as bad a performance as I've ever seen in a Super Bowl, and I have no clue why Manning found it offensive to call embarrassing, because that's exactly what yesterday's game was for the Denver Broncos..A spade is still a spade, even with Peyton Manning..

the fact he said his team prepared hard is embarassing. you prepared hard and all you could muster up was a 35PT loss
any person would be embarrassed and manning was just in denial that he played soft teams all year long where seattle played playoff games every time they played within their division.

It was a bad game, they laid an egg. Too much finesse. Too much reliance on the pass. The defense all year long just isn't solid. That defense is middle of the pack and until the defense improves, the Broncos will never win a superbowl.
Defense, running game, and a quarterback who won't lose the game for you. That's key. Strange thing is they had that with Tebow...who is quite possibly the worst QB ever, but he took care of the ball, added another dimension to the running game, and his TOP allowed the defense to play lights out.
Broncos, my team, need to get back to the fundamentals of good football.

It's embarrassing when you don't show up and don't try. Does anyone else think that teams show up to a Super Bowl and don't give effort?
I'd call it disappointing they played so poorly (of which Seattle had a lot to do with).
Seattle just gutted them early and they knew they were in trouble. Then I heard they were talking positive coming into the 2nd half kick-off and they got the dagger. Pretty hard to mentally stay positive after that.

Why doesn't anyone realize just how good the Seahawks played? You can bet your behind Peyton studied and practiced for two weeks straight, and guess what happened? The Seahawks are just that good. Give credit where credit is due. The Broncos didn't lose that game. The Seahawks came out and beat the Broncos in every aspect of the game. This should make people realize how much more dominant the NFC is over the AFC currently.

as much as manning prepares, as hard as he works, and as much time as he puts in, id say disappointed is the appropriate word...
embarrassed?...
it's a convenient word for our media-driven world when tall foreheads and beetle-browed "experts" can't figure out how something they didn't foresee possibly could have happened...
"geez manning how could you let that happen? you should be embarrassed"...
except..
there's an old saying: if you can look in the mirror, say you did everything you thought was necessary and for whatever reason it didn't work out, then what possible shame or "embarrassment" is there?...
"embarrassment" would be in knowing you didn't put in the necessary prep work...
in this case, the reason it didn't work out was seattle turned in a heck of a performance...

I don't think there is a Q.B. in the history of football that would've looked good against that defense, might be 20 years before we see another performance like that in the S.B.

One mercy score is all the MVP could muster after throwing 55 tds during regular season. 8 pts? Obviously embarassing. Can't believe he just wouldn't admit it. I'm grateful that all the Manning lovers out there that think he's the best ever can't even have the weather to use as an excuse. He wasn't getting away with throwing that quail he threw against the Patriots (several times). Complete domination and it wasn't like he was getting sacked or under constant duress. The Seahawk d-line pressured him but it wasn't overwhelming. Lucky they didn't play the 49ers or he would've really took a beating...

I thought Peyton was average to be honest. Understand Seattle's D is like nothing we seen for years but he overthrew a couple early balls and just never found any rhythm in his game which eventually created a domino effect throughout the entire team. Their confidence completely evaporated every passing minute and Seattle were truly out of this world.
If Kaepernick was replaced by Manning, San Fransisco would have won the last 2 Superbowls.

It was embarrasing and father time is catching up with peyton. You saw that in this game he could not and would not throw deep and that's disastrous against a great covering secondary like seattles. His arm strength is going to be a real issue in the future especially now that the books out on how to cover this team. Unless he has a perfectly clean pocket he can't throw the ball more than 15 yards accurately.

There's no doubt that his arm is one of the worst in the league right now, week in and week out we see it. At this age he needs time and he needs his Wr's to be open like any other quarterback. But I'm tired of people saying Peyton comes up small in big spots trying to make it an individual sport, Peyton to a large extent is at the defense's and his teammates mercy if he dosen't have time and his wr's are covered by an excellent secondary that is the difference, it's not like he's scared in the superbowl. If he played the cowboys in the superbowl he would roast them for 500 yards and 4 touchdowns and he is now great in the big one.
Point is peyton is the same guy in the superbowl as he was when the broncos beat the pats the week before (a game in which the clutch tom brady largely had no where to go with the football) the difference was an excellent seahawks defense.
If people feel the need to call peyton a choker well so be it, but it is an invalid criticism, the credit should go to the seahawks almost entirely.
If you look at Peyton's schedule this year, it was incredibly light in terms of good defense's so he rips thru those teams and then gets to the super bowl and faces a defense way better then anything he's seen and we wonder why the result different when it's obvious.
Peyton, next time you play a great defense and your getting pressure and everyones covered just throw the ball thru the seahawk defenders body's for touchdown's or sramble and run for 75 yards, if you can accomplish those 2 very impossible things, you will be viewed as "clutch"

There's nothing he could have done different. He's not a scrambling qb so forget about him running. Moreno offered nothing. The hit on D.Thomas early after he went across the middle pretty much set the tone for the rest of the game. Seattle's defense planned accordingly and Denver WR's were playing scared. I don't blame them. They have nothing to be embarrassed about. It was only one game. It just so happens it was the Super Bowl. It's a fact if this game was played 2 weeks from now Seattle wouldn't be any more than a 3 point favorite in Vegas even after their performance. This is the truth.

True Twenty, not sure what people want him to do. The Idea that joe montana is greater then peyton manning is a joke, joe montana's teams couldn't have lost. put peyton manning on those teams and he wins 5 superbowls, put joe montana on the colts and broncos and he has 1. people lack perspective.
If lebron james was still on the cavs now people would be saying well he wins 60 games, reaches the finals but he can't win. No he can't win one on the Cavs, He can win multiple on a team good enough to win the title. Dumbest discussion in sports

The whole team should be embarassed not just peyton manning. What happened sunday was an illustration of what seattle does against pocket passers and the main reason i bet seattle big in this one. No pocket passer all year has had any form of sucess whatsoever against them, and denvers defense isn't strong enough to hold teams down after continuous 3 and outs.
Having said that i stand by my statement that his arm strength is pathetic and that he needs a very clean pocket to have any form of sucess. He got it all year except 3 games, against indy, against seattle, and against new england at new england. If you pressure him with four and have a good secondary they're much too finesse of a team to do anything. Next year will be very tough for this denver squad, they face a murderers row schedule, theyll be lucky to win ten games.

When Manning left the Colts, he should of joined the 49ers instead of Broncos. 49ers is a complete team. Broncos are not as complete and Manning has to carry.

I wouldn't call it an embarassment to manning. From start to finish it was clear that the whole broncos team was completely out-matched. Seattle played completely out of this world. I don't think there's a team in the nfl that could have won against them on sunday.
