Re: What is the GOAT Super Bowl?

I'm going with Steelers-Cards just from an entertainment standpoint, you had the big interception return to end the first half, Fitz taking the lead on that long pass in the second half, and then the Steelers coming back to win it at the end. Couldn't really pick either of the Giants-Pats games because I was too nervous watching them to really appreciate them as games

Re: What is the GOAT Super Bowl?

LOL at 46 being on there. That game was so incredible boring. Even the final minutes sucked.

42 was so much better with 18-1, Brady to Moss, the Eli avoiding a sack and Tyree catch play, and Eli to Plax.

You can't say except for this, this, and that, it's not a good game. The historical aspect of SB42 is what makes it such a good game. 19-0, BB and Brady equal Noll/Bradshaw and Walsh/Montana, equal '72 Dolphins, etc.

Re: What is the GOAT Super Bowl?

I think Rams-Titans was everything a fan could wish for in a Super Bowl. For some reason, one of the things I'll always remember is right after the final whistle, Boomer Esiason felt the need to add that "the Titans have absolutely nothing to be ashamed of." Nice commentary, moron.

Re: What is the GOAT Super Bowl?

if you consider just the game itself in a vacuum, 42 and 43 are darn close. if you consider all the outside context, i dont see how it's even close. 18-0, greatest offense of all time, giants team no one thought would get anywhere, 3 road games, tom brady and BB GOATs, eli manning considered the wrong kind of goat...

and then it all goes completely opposite of how it was supposed to.

it was just an epic thing. stealers/cardinals is #2, but it just didnt have the same storylines. plus lol stealers.

sure i can, historical aspect doesn't make a game good in my eyes, i don't care at all about that stuff i just want to be entertained. obviously others can think differently and judge the game based on that but i don't have to. i put 43 second and 32 third (watching terrell davis just ball all over the packers was awesome)

Re: What is the GOAT Super Bowl?

One I considered was Super Bowl III. It's basically the old time version of Super Bowl 42. The Colts were 13-1 that year, their average margin of victory is 2nd in the Super Bowl era to the 2007 Pats, the Jets were literally not in the same league as the Colts, and Namath made the guarantee and backed it up. But the game started 16-0 Jets and ended 16-7. If that had been a good game, it could have had GOAT status considering the storylines, etc, but the game itself was never really close. Still I wish I was alive to see that game.

Re: What is the GOAT Super Bowl?

Giants-Pats I. The whole aura of 19-0 surrounding it and that D-line getting after Brady then The Catch was just too much. Brady was after his 4th ring which would have put him up with Montana and Bradshaw as 4-0 guys.

Steelers/Cardinals was also really, really good but I'm mad about that one as I wanted the Cardinals to win. But damn from a pure game standpoint that one was probably better than Pats/Giants. Just didn't have the aura surrounding it.

I remembered Giants/Bills from 1990 or 1991 being so awesome when I was a kid. NFL Network replayed it the other day and it was boring as ****. Short passes, dropped passes. Too many ****ing runs. Production value was terrible, etc. I totally forgot NY won that with Jeff Hostetler as their QB.

I stopped watching games that I remember being great because it's always a letdown. Kinda like the first time I saw Dukes of Hazzard as an adult.

Too funny but true. I can't believe I was hooked on that show like crack when I was a kid.

I'd read somewhere that apparently Marv Levy's approach to the Super Bowl was to "treat it like it's just another game." Didn't seem to work out for him.

It might be the least surprising tidbit ever that the General Lee is now owned by someone who goes by "Bubba" professionally.
