Greatest Super Bowls?

[J0nnD0ugh]

Pats-Rams SB was overrated. The reasons people liked it was because the Pats won after 9/11, it was an upset & people hated the Rams. The game itself was ugly, ugly, ugly.

I feel the same way you do(minus the depressed for a week part)everytime they show the Broncos/Packers Super Bowl and Terrell Davis just strolling on into the End Zone.

Damn you Holmgren, You and you're arrogance cost us another Super Bowl!!!

I probably should get over it, considering the fact that I'm a Browns fan.

The positive about that is I won't have to worry about any heartbreak in the Super Bowl.

I think Den-GB was very underrated. The AFC had suffered loss after loss & Elway was in the middle of a good portion of them. Every NFC champion seemed destined to win 2 or 3 titles in a row & GB was defending champ. Every Super Bowl, just about, was a blowout. GB opens w/a TD drive straight down the field & everyone's thinking "here we go". Denver comes right back to knot it on their first posession. And from then on, it was nip & tuck the entire way.

I think before we lost, the NFC had won 13 straight Super Bowls. Talk about impressive streak.

But we had to go and **** that up and the flood gates for winning the Super Bowl have been opened ever since, alternating back and forth with the AFC, with the AFC coming out on top recently.

1) XX, Bears vs Patriots (My homer pick for #1)
2) XXXIV, Rams vs Titans
3) XLII, Giants vs Patriots
4) XXIII, 49ers vs Bengals
5) XXV, Giants vs Bills

I'm sure absolutely no one will agree with my picks but these are the games I really enjoyed.

I disagree. Hard-hitting football isn't ugly to me. The game was an excellent contrast in styles. Martz's Greatest Show on Turf vs. Belichek's agressive bump-and-run coverage scheme with 5, 6, and often 7 DBs on the field.

The part I loved the most was Belichek's gutty corners knocking the living hell out of the Rams' receivers, Faulk, and Warner. Not mentioning the ending all together (Warner to Prohl, Vinatieri's field goal), there were bigger plays in the Rams/Pats game (Law's pick 6 on Warner, the 99 yard fumble recovery that was called back) than in the Giants/Pats game.

Simply put, I was pleasantly surprised in the Rams/Pats game. Last year, I picked the Giants to win the SB and wasn't at all surprised when they won. That game was uglier to me. Considering the background the game was played under and that it was the first MAJOR Super Bowl upset in some time and marked the start of a dynasty and the death of another one, the significance is huge to me.

I don't mind hard-hitting games. It was still ugly to me. There was no back & forth. Compare it to this game. I can single out a number of plays that looked like turning points. Momentum shifts. Pats/Rams was nothing like that.
