Seattle let their DBs play how they've been playing all year. They basically allowed Peyton to throw short passes into the middle of the field? Why? Because Chancellor was lurking every time to deliver a message. I don't think there's any question that those early tone setting hits played a factor as well.
I thought they went to the short game, those bubble screens, after PM got so heavily pressured the first two series. Classic strategy but it didn't really work. And I agree, arm looked very tired, so many wobbly passes. Also, writers I follow on Twitter kept mentioning open receivers Manning wasn't seeing, or at least throwing to.
It was SB42 all over again in that the best pass blocking line in football picked the worst game to take the day off. Nobody would have succeeded with that awful protection. This article mentions this, but should have lead with it.

Yup, I agree. That would undoubtedly have been the difference-maker.I particularly hated that stupid pistol formation the broncos were using, too much shotgun. Manning should have spent time under center and use the good old play action especially early in the game.
