Alexander showed up today, while the Panthers running game did not. That was the difference. Even with a huge punt return TD by Smith, the Panthers really looked out matched the entire time. Seahawks defense played real well, granted they weren't going againest the best the Panthers had to offer - he's still a pretty succesful NFL running back, they showed a lot of energy and were really getting after the ball. I think if Seattle's defense is as active on the Superbowl as it was today, I really don't see the Steelers having a chance.
Im sure people will want to talk about Delhomme's horrible numbers, I don't really like Delhomme at all because he is a kind of a spaz, but with running game like the Panthers had today no QB would have been succesful.
