Re: Greatest Super Bowls?

1. Titans/Rams
2. Giants/Pats
3. Rams/Pats
4. Pats/Panthers
5. Probably Cowboys/Steelers from the 70's

Last Nights game shouldn't even be on the HM list.

Re: Greatest Super Bowls?

The reason why recent SB's are mentioned is because the SB was notorious for being anticlimatic until recently. Most were clearly dominated by one team, if not blowouts. And if the game was close, the performances were largely inept. Only 5 of the first 31 SB's had the lead change in the 4th quarter. Six of the last 12 have.

49ers/Chargers because Steve Young is my fav athlete ever

Seeing as I have not seen every SB (only 30 yrs old) I find the question silly since I can't logically compare them and I doubt most here can so wtf is the point?

If one is to talk about recent SBs and take out my bias for the Colts winning then I would say:

Giants/Pats
Rams/Titans
Steelers/Cards (the game was garbage until the 4th qtr though)
Packers/Broncos
Giants/Bills

Because it's a message board and it's an interesting topic to debate?

Re: Greatest Super Bowls?

Greatest super bowl is objective. Everybody enjoys things differently, if they thought last night's game was up there for them then why not?

Very biased list but at least I left XXXIX out.

1. Patriots/Panthers
2. Bills/Giants - Funnily enough I don't think I watched this one live (I was 3) but if I did I must have forgotten about it pretty quickly. A couple of years later my uncle got me a vhs of super bowls for my birthday and this was in it. I didn't know the outcome when I watched it so it was just as awesome as it should've been.
3. Patriots/Rams
4. Rams/Titans
5. Patriots/Giants - Only this low because of the outcome. I have to hold my hands up and admit it was a great game to watch.

I thought last night was great but that was mainly during the last quarter's back and forth. Horribly sloppy defense? Yes, Big Ben must've thought he was playing Madden on the rookie setting with that last drive but at least it made for an exciting finish.

Re: Greatest Super Bowls?

Super bowl 13 between the Steelers and the Cowboys may have been the best one. You did really have a bit of everything with 2 evenly matched teams playing at a high level.

Re: Greatest Super Bowls?

I'm not nearly old enough to have seen all of them, so I can't legitimately give my opinion. However, I will say the last two Super Bowls have been two of the best/most exciting games I've ever watched.

It was a total bore. Everyone was waiting for the Rams to do SOMETHING creative, but nothing. We hadn't yet heard of the genius of Bellichek, you barely heard about him at all until after the game. No one stood out in that game til Brady in the 4th, nothing spectacular happened until the last drive, it was not memorable in any way at the time. Its only in retrospective that the game was memorable, at the time it was a boring snoozefest until 2 minutes left.
