No one was completely stunned to see the Seahawks defeat the Broncos in Super Bowl XLVIII. After all, the Broncos were just a slight favorite heading into the game. It was the way in which Seattle ran the table in all phases of the game that baffled so many in a 43-8 route. With such a lopsided result, we have to wonder just what went wrong.
To break this game down, we’ll start with offense, which is where Denver’s game went horribly wrong from the first play of the game. Aside from an inability to attack the Seahawks on the ground, the Broncos were never even able to push the Seahawks down the field.
Looking at Peyton Manning’s statistics alone, you wouldn’t imagine the Broncos were blown out in such dramatic fashion. Manning completed just under 75% of his passes for just under 300 yards and a touchdown. His two interceptions definitely hurt, but by themselves, they shouldn’t have accounted for such a huge loss.
The simple problem the Broncos ran into was that they weren’t able to push anything vertically on Seattle’s defense. Manning averaged just 5.7 yards per pass attempt compared to Russell Wilson’s 8.2 average for the Seahawks. In short, Seattle gave up some yards, but by forcing the Broncos to complete long drives instead of striking with a few huge plays down the field.
Defensively, the Broncos were a mess. They were able to slow down the Seahawks’ rushing attack, but Denver was unable to keep Wilson and the passing attack in check. Usually, the Broncos are able to outrun their opponents early and force them to play catch up throughout the game, but due to so many offensive problems, the Seahawks were able to score on short fields all night long.
Early in the game, Denver’s defense was able to hold the Seahawks in check by forcing them to settle for a pair of field goals instead of getting touchdowns, but they were on the field too much throughout the game to hold Seattle back. The Seahawks ultimately only won the battle for time of possession by about four minutes, but the first half was very lopsided in favor of Seattle’s old-school approach.
Then, to begin the second half, Denver was ready to try to make a run back into the game, but their special teams unit failed them. Trailing 22-0, the Broncos decided to kick a high, short kickoff in hopes of containing Percy Harvin. He promptly punished them with 87-yard touchdown return that pushed the Seahawks’ advantage to 29-0. Sure, it didn’t exactly impact the outcome of the game, but that was when the game became downright out of hand. Until that point, it seemed as if the Broncos could still make a run, but trailing four touchdowns to the best defense in the league was asking too much.
When we think of Super Bowl XLVIII in the future, we’ll remember it not just as a blowout game, but also as a team victory for the Seahawks and a team failure for the Broncos. For a team to lose in the Super Bowl so terribly, everything has to go wrong, and that’s what happened to the Broncos. There was no one player that cost them the game, and there was no single-handed performance that pushed the Seahawks through.

VICE caught up to best selling author Michael C. Ruppert, who also created the 2009 documentary "Collapse," also a LAPD whistelblower that discovered and exposed the CIA's complicity in selling drugs across America, after which he paid his debts, took his dog and moved to the Rocky Mountains as he prepares for the imminent collapse of the world.
In the video below, which is part one of what will be a six part series, VICE speaks to Mr. Ruppert about the apocalyptic issues facing the world today and how " the human spirit can survive" the impending collapse and apocalypse.
Ruppert is utterly fascinating to listen to and worth the short amount of time it takes to view the video below, since this is a man who predicted the economic crisis the world is still reeling from.

Why We Should Boycott the 2014 NFL Season
Dave Hodges
It is time to boycott this rogue organization
I love the game of football. However, I love the founding principles of my country more. This article describes the reasons on why America should withdraw its support, not for football, but the NFL as a whole.
The 2014 Super Bowl has come and gone and there was no false flag attack. The closest the Super Bowl came to having a false flag event was the beat down provided by Seattle as they humiliated the Denver Broncos by a score of 43-8.
There was never going to be a false flag event because there are too many banksters that attend this event. Second, this is not the same America as it was on 9/11. Today, far fewer people trust the government. Most do not know or understand what is going on. However, if we had another 9/11 attack, millions, and I mean millions of sheep would have put down their bottles of Woolite and would have been screaming “false flag” from every roof top. If something would have gone down at the Super Bowl, the alternative media would have become the dominant media, almost overnight. Even CNN, FOX News and Coast to Coast would have to cover the event at face value if they wanted to stay in business.
I am pleased that there was no loss of life as this is not the manner in which we need to grow our movement. However, we still need to be vigilant because the forces of darkness are indeed putting the pieces of martial law in place. I do not know if we can stop the course we are on. However, there are some things that we could be doing in the short-term. And one of those things we should be doing is boycotting the rogue and exploitive organization we call the National Football League (NFL).
The NFL Price Gouges Every Vendor and Fan They Service
When my wife supervised concessions in the National Football League’s (NFL) 1997 Super Bowl, as the Arizona’s Operations Manager for McDonalds, the corporation was charged 30% of all profits by the NFL for the privilege of helping the NFL make money. The corporation lost a lot of money as did all the other participants in the NFL Experience and the Super Bowl, directly.
The NFL owners demand that citizens of various communities put up hundreds of millions of dollars to build monolithic stadiums at taxpayers expense. Amazingly, the NFL does not pay tax on its revenues!
Unbelievable: The NFL Is Tax Exempt
I know you are wondering if you read the preceding statement correctly? That is correct!
Did you know that the NFL made $9 billion dollars last year? Did you know that the NFL is a tax-exempt corporation and paid no tax on their $9 billion dollars of profit in the 2012-2013 season? What is wrong with this picture? Adding insult to injury, the NFL extorts money from every city that hosts the Super Bowl.
Hide Your Wallet When the Super Bowl Comes to Town
In the most recent string of NFL violations of the public trust, the NFL is attempting to use local government to control pricing of hotel rooms in and around the University of PhoenixStadium where the 2015 Super Bowl is being played. Fortunately, for the people of the nearby area in Glendale, AZ., and their Mayor, Jerry Weiers, have told the NFL to go pound sand. Can you believe that the NFL thinks that they have the right to price fix local merchants and the prices that they would charge? Mark it down, on Super Bowl Sunday, the NFL becomes the economic dictators of the host city!
Every time the Super Bowl is played in a city, the residents’ wallets get a little lighter with the corporate welfare demanded by the league for the pleasure of helping the NFL make more money.
The last time I attended an NFL game, a 10 ounce beer cost $10! A dollar an ounce for warm stadium beer! And we thought the Rockefellers were being greedy over the price of oil!
Don’t Try to Smuggle Your Constitution Inside of An NFL Stadium: The NFL or the TSA, What’s the Difference?
Please remember, as I have reported before, this is the same NFL which is participating in the violation of our constitutional liberties through TSA-type searches. When you go to an NFL game, by default, you give up your Fourth Amendment rights.
The NFL An Accomplice to Tyranny
In the commission of a crime, if you drive the getaway car and get caught, are you going to jail? You are darn right you are going to jail. Shouldn’t we expect the same of a sports league in which select owners thinks it is OK to aid and abet in the act of kidnapping a child from his or her elementary school.
In Operation Mountain Guardian, we should remember, that this is the same NFL that allowed FEMA to bring school children to the Denver Broncos Sports Authority Field after they were illegally removed from their elementary schools without parental notification or permission. To date, there has been no apology or explanation given. The same thing took place at the New York Giants Stadium as well.
Why would anyone support such an organization?
The NFL Backs Gun Confiscation
“Give up your guns”
Who will ever forget the Bob Costas rant at an NFL game last year when he called for gun confiscation. The people who overpay for the game tickets are not paying to hear the NFL tell everyone that they should give up their guns. Does anyone think it is an accident that the NFL is cooperating to allow their venues to be used as detention centers in times of national emergency?
It Is Time To Boycott the NFL
How does one go about boycotting the NFL? Pretty much the same way that one would boycott anything.
1. Not that it will do any good, but write to your Congressman demanding that the tax exemption for the NFL is revoked.
2. Press your State Legislators to pass laws forbidding the use of tax payer money to support corporate welfare for the NFL The billionaire owners can build their own stadiums.
3. Write to all advertisers of NFL televised games and tell them that you will not buy their products as long as they advertise at NFL games.
4. Obviously, everyone should refuse to buy a ticket to an NFL game.
5. Do not buy NFL merchandise
I played high school football and coached at the high school level before moving on to coach college basketball. I love football. It is a brutal game played by tough men. I learned a lot about life and discipline from my football coaches. If you are like me, you do not have to get your football fix from the NFL. Go to a high school game where the competition is genuine and the love of the game is why the athletes play.
Conclusion
The only reason that American forces attacked Guadalcanal in the dark days of 1942 during WWII, was because America needed a victory, any victory. Boycotting the NFL can serve the same purpose.
The forces of the NWO are so omnipresent, so powerful that the general public is unable to gain any traction against this tyranny. However, this is a battle we can win. Nobody can force you to go to a NFL football game. Nobody can force you to purchase NFL products. This is what we should have done after the TSA began to sexually assault Americans, refuse to fly. If the American public stood down in the face of tyranny, the airlines and the NFL would go broke and their screams would have been heard all the way to the halls of Congress.
We can accomplish this
