This is an interesting matchup.I was starting to feel a glimmer of hope for the league with 2 good teams worthy of rooting for having a shot at their first SB trophy.
But we get 2005 part deux.
Dont even feel like watching this one.
This would be my response to tommyboyTwo worst fan bases in the league. Wish they could both lose. Neither deserve it.
Or we could just stop watching and focus on hockeyOnce again the Super Bowl will be like a Presidential election. It's not who you want to root/vote for, but who you have to root/vote against.

The worst was the Ravens v Giants in 2001. Kerry Collins v Trent Dilfer
I didn’t say it was the worst ever.49ers 55 Broncos 10 was pretty boring, Cowboys 52 over Bills 17 was pretty bad as well. Honestly, to me, I think one of the worst things was the Bears over the Pats only because I couldn't believe Ditka failed to let Walter Payton score a TD in that one. I'm sure it was an oversight but I felt bad for Walter because the poor guy busted his ### for so many crappy Bears teams, I just wanted to see him score that day and I think he was disappointed as well.

Right, right, I was just kind of thinking out loud about all the crappy Superbowls I've watched. . . that 49ers vs Dolphins Superbowl was kind of a blowout too. I think the thing that was disappointing about that one is that Marino never got into another one. You felt like "well this guy will be back" but it never happened.I didn’t say it was the worst ever.
It just sucks now.
Yeah, it was a shame though. I think there was this feeling that "meh, we'll be back next year" because it was a pretty dominant team.He tried.
Walter has won the running back of the century award at least.Yeah, it was a shame though. I think there was this feeling that "meh, we'll be back next year" because it was a pretty dominant team.
Some would say they were all mostly luck/because of cheating.At least all the Brady Superbowls have been close/good games. That's all I want. A good game
They are habitual line steppers. My hatred for the Patriots is high (Bills fan), but the things they did, I never considered "cheating". I wish the Bills went to the edge of the rules like that.Some would say they were all most luck/because of cheating.
Not me, but some.
Spying on opponet's practices is pretty huge. Deflating footballs is shtick, although cheating shtick.They are habitual line steppers. My hatred for the Patriots is high (Bills fan), but the things they did, I never considered "cheating". I wish the Bills went to the edge of the rules like that.
They lost two Super Bowls when it matteredSome would say they were all mostly luck/because of cheating.
Not me, but some.
Filming another teams practice may not be in the rulebook but it’s very much cheating according to the rules of honorable sportsmanship.They are habitual line steppers. My hatred for the Patriots is high (Bills fan), but the things they did, I never considered "cheating". I wish the Bills went to the edge of the rules like that.
How could that be possible? It’s the Pats, again.So the ‘17 was -10% in ratings right?...I’d typically think based on matchup this SB is easily up...we’ll see.
Seriously? You don't think EVERYONE in the league wasn't taping other teams practices. And if they weren't, they should have. And the game ball thing is such bull... Brady has been just as successful after deflategate. I want a coach that wants to push the edge of the rules. I would love the Bills being hated for winning cuz they pushed the edge of the rules.Filming another teams practice may not be in the rulebook but it’s very much cheating according to the rules of honorable sportsmanship.
Tampering with game balls may be worse and also likely blatantly against the rules.
Yeah........reallySeriously? You don't think EVERYONE in the league wasn't taping other teams practices. And if they weren't, they should have. And the game ball thing is such bull...

I’ll probably play on the Xbox or something.Or we could just stop watching and focus on hockey
Just pointing out the lack of star power. Beyond that it was a matchup between two of the most boring teams in the history of the world. The only thing I think that would be worse is Cleveland vs NY Jets#2 response
There is a lot more to the game besides quarterbacks, but realistically who could have beat that defense?
Giants whooped up on Minny to get in. Who did Balt beat?This is an interesting matchup.

You sound like a nerd who didn't play any organized sports in your entire life.Yeah........really
Where I come from pushing the rules is cheating.
At the least it’s admitting you didn’t think you could get it done before the game and had to weasel out any edge you could.
Winning while exploiting loopholes is worse than losing the game honestly.
Just to nit pick a touch, Spygate was not about filming practices. The Patriots were punished because they filmed in game. Filming in game is legal but not when the camera is on the opponents side of the field. That is what they got punished for. They got punished for the Jets game where they got caught but they almost certainly did it quite often before they got caught.Filming another teams practice may not be in the rulebook but it’s very much cheating according to the rules of honorable sportsmanship.
Habitual line steppers. I want the leader of my team to want to push the edges of what is allowed to make sure a winner is produced. I've dealt with the Pats being so good for so long that I want what they have. Especially seeing them crush the Bills So. Many. Times.Just to nit pick a touch, Spygate was not about filming practices. The Patriots were punished because they filmed in game.

There were allegations of taping practices by the Boston Herald but once the investigation was complete, the Herald had to release a retraction.
Here is the short apology the Herald published once they found out their source was incorrect.

Lol a nerd.You sound like a nerd who didn't play any organized sports in your entire life.
It's a great time to go to the movies. We tend to do that every year we have no interest in the game. Theater is mostly empty, no lines at the snack bar or bar.I’ll probably play on the Xbox or something.
I went to that game in Tampa, Giant's fan. What a ####ty experience...great b/c i was at a SB, but oh man what a ####show by the Giants.This is an interesting matchup.

Kinda feels like the Eagles might not be getting enough love in this SB. The current line is Pats by 5.5 with an over/under of 48. This implies a final score of approximately 26.75-21.25 (27-21) in favor of the Pats. While I do feel the Pats are probably going to win--looking at what the Eagles have done so far in the post season--I wouldn't be surprised at all if the Eagles won. The hottest team coming into the playoffs was probably the Falcons--and the Eagles held them to 10pts. The Vikings came into the Eagles game carrying tons of momentum--scored easily on the first drive--and then the Eagles score 38 straight (and held the Vikings to the 7pts). Their defense is sound, they have solid WR's and Te's, they have plenty of talent at the RB position--and Foles is playing well. As far as I see it--as long as Foles plays decently well in the SB--we should have a very solid game. If Foles plays super well--I wouldn't be surprised at all to see the Eagles win this thing--as they are arguably the better team outside of the QB position. Maybe it's not the dream matchup it would have been had Wentz been healthy--but I'm still looking forward to watching.
