Welker: ‘We didn’t prepare very well’ for noise By Zach Braziller, Paul Schwartz and Brian Costello February 3, 2014 | 2:10am

The Broncos trailed 12 seconds into Super Bowl XLVIII, as they let up a botched snap for a safety that center Manny Ramirez attributed to miscommunication caused by the noise level, and the Seahawks never looked back, leading for 59 minutes, 48 seconds of the game. After the 43-8 beating at the Seahawks’ hands, Denver wide receiver Wes Welker said the Broncos were not prepared for the noise and it cost them. “That’s the way the start of any Super Bowl is going to be. It’s going to be loud,” Welker said. “Fans are going to be yelling. I don’t think they even know why they’re yelling. It’s just the start of the Super Bowl. We didn’t prepare very well for that and it showed.” So much for that No. 1 defense versus No. 1 offense showdown. All the hype was merely hot air, the most lopsided Super Bowl in 21 years. Seattle’s 43-8 rout of Denver was the most one-sided Super Bowl since Super Bowl XXVII in 1993, when the Cowboys dismantled the Bills, 52-17. It was also a replica of the Seahawks’ 40-10 beatdown of the Broncos during the preseason on Aug. 17. Super Bowl teams have met seven times in the preseason since 1994 and the preseason winner has won six of the seven games. Broncos quarterback Peyton Manning has now thrown the two longest pick-sixes in NFL Super Bowl history, as his record dropped to 1-2 in The Big Game. Seahawks linebacker Malcolm Smith took a Manning pass 69 yards to the house with 3:36 left in the first half. In Super Bowl XLIV in 2010, Saints safety Tracy Porter took a Manning pass 74 yards for a touchdown.

They didn't look like they were prepared for much. I disagree, they were well prepared to get their asses handed to them. Pathetic! |

The very first snap was all I needed to see how that game was going to shape up. That was some unbelievable bullshit. LOL The look on Manning's face was priceless too. lol |

I got very tired of seeing that dopey look on Mannings face. The commentators still focused on him and defended him, it was pretty miserable commenting imo.
It was almost like they were trying to lose.

It was almost like they were trying to lose. Funny you should say that. That very issue was discussed as we watched the game last night. - How much did they get paid to throw the game... I don't actually think that happened, but it sure looked horrible. |

That first snap and the look on his face was a killer. That should be on highlight reels for decades.

The internet meme's started before half time. People are a creative bunch sometimes.  |

The offensive line, and their defense lost the game. I looked at Manning on the sideline at one point and his face looked like "You fuckers are burying me."
