Another loss this close to the SB would be pretty devastating for me. The last 2-3 times we were this close I thought BB & TB had a great opportunity to cement themselves as the GOAT with a SB win. A lot of people would argue they've already done enough to be in the discussion as the GOAT, but I think the debate ends with another SB win, especially with the type of adversity they've had to face this year.

A loss this week would be tough, but at least it's against Manning and an offense who just broke most of our records from '07. I'm not sure I would be able to handle a win this week by the Pats and a loss in the SB..............

We're probably 5 years, maybe less, away from a few mediocre, non-playoff years so I need another SB before that happens.
The window is closing on TB, making me want this one that much more! I'm going to have trouble waiting another 5 days until kickoff as well. Last week I wasn't able to start watching the game on my DVR until 1:30AM because I was working and had to avoid spoilers at all cost by turning my phone off, this week I made sure to have Sunday off!
