I don't think they had the personal to cover small quick receivers. It was more about their linebackers not being able to cover the Running Backs/Tight Ends.
Also Seattle has always allowed the underneath stuff. The difference last night they didn't tackle and the linebackers were exposed through match-ups.
Last year's super bowl they not only tackled well but you could see the bronco receivers start to get scared. That took away the short stuff and then the pass rushers got to Manning. This year they couldn't take away the short stuff so the pass rushers could never get to Brady. He was just too quick with the ball.
