So... our Super Bowl vs the Patriots came in at a pretty high ranking. 

 

I do think our Super Bowl has been one of the more entertaining ones. I know it's a painful reminder, but hey, we fared well against a team that knew our play calls. 

 

 

 

 

7. Super Bowl XXXVIII - New England Patriots 32, Carolina Panthers 29

Gil Brandt's take: "The Patriots-Panthers Super Bowl had a slow first half and a great second half. Neither team could get going in the first half. But in the second, each team exchanged touchdowns and put up a lot of points. And, of course, then the Panthers kicked off and it went out of bounds ... that was a huge play." 

I can still see Jake Delhomme rolling to his left and uncorking a long touchdown pass -- pure streetballin'. An exquisitely entertaining game. (AP Photo/Mark J. Terrill)

Maybe it's just me but superbowls have definitely been more exciting in the past decade or so than they were in the 90s.

 

Maybe that's greater parity, or maybe it's the NFL realizing more exciting superbowls are better and adjusting the officiating [/tinfoil] lol.

 

Not sure what has caused it but the games have definitely been closer.

 

I recently saw that since Rams/Titans only three games have been blowouts.  During that time there have been three defenses that are frequently listed on the short list for all-time great defenses.  Those three defenses have authored the three blowouts ('00 Ravens, '02 Bucs, '14 Seahawks).

I find it funny how much the game has changed, and the value they put on explosive offensive games. Yeah its fun to watch a bunch of tds especially when your team is doing the scoring. But i guess its just me that loves watching a defensive showdown where neither offense can move the ball because the defense is playing lights out. In the description it says it was a slow first half but it was a defensive show down early on what is slow about that?

most blowouts listed low. 

 

The 49ers just scored on the Chargers again.

 

and the Bears whipping the Pats was the best SB ever in my opinion.

 

While I get why close games are mostly listed higher, blowouts are great SBs, especially if you are a fan of the winning team. I think 38 should be top 5, but I could be bias...

The reason why I'm the Panthers fan I am today. That was the first football game I ever watched start to finish. I was hooked after that it was truly a great game. Made me a Panthers fan for live and I've lived in Northern Indiana pretty much my whole life so I'm not a homegrown fan, but I bleed black and blue nonetheless.

      Bryce Young 5th year option exercised

      By strato · Posted

      Yeah okay. We as an organization have been more patient with him than many. And there has been a small parade of guys drafted since he was, also to bad teams, that have passed him. Some have lapped him. As a fan I am out of patience but he gets this year it is out of my hands always has been. I just hope the bar is higher than it has been for him.    FWIW, XL dropped two passes last year. He did do some other bad stuff, just saying.

      Except it takes those QB's a few years to develop because they needed to learn the mental side of the game and have it catch up to their physical attributes. Bryce was supposed to be a QB savant who already had a fully developed mental side of the game and that was going to make up for his lack of physical ability.  And his lack of NFL level QB physical traits has been clear as day to anyone who has watched him the last 3 years, mainly, he just doesn't have an NFL arm, he can't zip the ball into tight spaces or throw on a line down the field like is needed at this level.

      Don’t recall seeing many of his interviews but what strikes me is that he engages and goes in depth. Even with the cliche answers as referenced by OP come across somewhat thoughtful.  Very likable personality despite being someone who can crush an average person like I can crush a paper cup. I knew Motons mother had a career at MSU but was looking on the google and found that Mushin Muhammad personally knew Motons grandfather.   His late grandfather was a professor at MSU.   Cool guy.  Interesting family and small world.
