That was probably the most boring Super Bowl I’ve ever watched.

[Charles Henrickson]

The problem with this and all other "Super Bowl" lists is that it does not cover the many, many years when the NFL Championship was not called the "Super Bowl."

There were only four actual "Super Bowls," i.e., the NFL champion playing the AFL champion, 1967-70, and only in the last two of these was the Super Bowl champion (Jets, Chiefs) a team other than the NFL champion.

So a better list would include ALL the NFL championship games, not just the "Super Bowls."

I'm from Chicago. The 1963 pre-"Super Bowl" Bears were as much NFL champion as the 1985-86 Bears.

[mainepatsfan]

It turned out to be the last shot for old Fran.

As a Giants fan I remember that game all too well. I was on a high from the Minnesotta game, and that high was gone replaced by bitter dissappointment. Thank God for the real LT. At least I’ve been fortunate enough to see my team win a couple of titles. And the giants fanchise, as well as the careers of so many players and coaches, owns that man a great debt of thanks.

[mainerforglobalwarming]

Probably got a couple of extra points for having to listen to Parcells yell at him all game.

[mainepatsfan]

I usually trick folks up when I ask them how many NFL championships have the Vikings won? Most of them don’t realize that the ‘69 Vikes were the last NFL champs before the merger.

[MattinNJ]

I always wondered what would have happenedif they didn' call that bogus defensive hold on Keith Hamilton as Armstead raced into the end zone on a pic in the 1st Q. Word had it that Dilfer was on a tight leash. I wonder if Billick would have taken the ball out of his hands. <>PHats off to the Ravens. They shut down a powerhouse offense. I remember sitting in amazement at the 41-0 crushing of the Vikes.

LT was the most amazing plyer I have ever seen. I feel bad for the young pups who never had a chance to see him play. Changed the entire sport. I laugh every draft day when some LB is supposed to be the next LT. Good luck with that I say to myself.

[mainepatsfan]

I’ve never seen a defensive player dominate the way he did in 1986. It was comical watching offenses trying to figure out how to block him.

[mainerforglobalwarming]

LT was an amazing natutal athlete. Didn’t lift weights, work out that much, yet dmominated offense for close to ten years. And he had a very high pain threshold. Perhaps, not to make lite of it, it was because he was high on drugs quite often. I can’t believe he’s still alive.
The worst thing that happened from that superbowl loss was that Ray Lewis went on to become a gloried wide receiver, mouthing off about everything all the time. In my opinion Bruschi at his best was as good as lewis. And yet because he keeps his mouth shut and just plays the game, he was left off a lot of prowl bowl squads.

[mainepatsfan]

It was pretty obvious why Disney chose to use Dilfer in their Super Bowl ad that year rather than Lewis who was that games’ MVP.

[mainerforglobalwarming]

I haven’t been to night clubs in years, but I made it a point not to get a murder victims blood on me after I heard the story of Lewis. It seemed to me the police charged him with a crime hoping to make him talk about what actually happened. I’m still not certain of the facts surrounding that incident.

[CougarGA7]

Check your math. ;)

[CougarGA7]

That’s possible.

[mainerforglobalwarming]

I think the rating as you say is a max 158.3 now. I’m not sure how they calculate the rating. I would suspect that touchdown to interception ratio is important. But I don’t think they factor in how many times a QB fumbles or takes a sack which is crucial in big games.

It doesn’t matter how crappy the QB is. If the stripes want you to win. You’ll win.

Affectionately known as “chicken legs” in Denver

[The Pack Knight]

It sure was. I don’t know if anyone will beat five touchdowns in one quarter, but Brady will probably try.

[The Pack Knight]

And it’s good to see him coaching in the NFL these days. Timmy Smith, on the other hand, is currently doing federal time for drug dealing.

[mainepatsfan]

Talk about a game that wasn’t as close as the final score would indicate.

[mainepatsfan]

And to think that Denver had dominated the first quarter of that game.
