Could say the opposite as well.
One would think they are. Do they get good interior pass rush? This is what usually does Peyton in

I think seattle defense is built to beat everyone.
However offensively i think denver does better against good run teams (only allowed one 100 yard rusher all year) than good passing teams.
Seattle is better at running than passing imo
Iawtp
I think both of these teams are built to beat all other teams cuz that's kind of the point of making a team. And they're also both in the super bowl, so there's that.
Seattle is uniquely suited to challenge Denver. It's strength against strength.

If I'm a bronos fan I'm pretty pissed that this of all years has to be a cold weather Superbowl.
Just so y'all know, I don't dislike Denver or Peyton Manning at all. Will be totally fine with it if they win and think Manning deserves another ring. There is just something about rooting for dat underdog doe, so I gotta pull for Seattle.
Also, Seattle got completely screwed by the refs all game the year they play Pittsburgh in the Superbowl, so their fans deserve a good Superbowl.
Kinda also wanna root for Manning doe. Oh well, I'll root for whatever team Stoked is not rooting for.

Not really. Denver just beat 2 really good running teams. Seattle has good DB's but has not matched up with an offense as explosive as Denver's. Tom Brady could not beat the Broncos and I don't think Russell Wilson can either. So the keys really are what Stoked said. Can Seattle cover all of Denver's offensive threats? Can they run the ball against a pretty good Denver run defense? And i'll add one more, who can win the TO battle?
.
I see it as a pretty good matchup. But while biased I just don't know if Seattle's offense will be able to score as much as Denver's. And while Seattle's defense is really good I still think Denver will score 20+.

This Denver is a great passing team against a great passing defense.
Seattle is a very good to great running team against a really good run defense.
I don't know much about Seattle other CB's but can they match up with Decker/Welker and Julius Thomas? I expect Sherman to draw D. Thomas so how will the rest of their secondary match up?
.
But Yes UGLI this turns out to be a bad year for a cold weather SB. If this game is played in a warm weather city I think Denver would win by 2 TD's.
I'd expect nothing less from the Drama Club.

I think this is seriously over exaggerated by a lot of people. But I believe cold weather favors running and defensive teams. And that is an edge for Seattle.
