McVay got punked. Lol.

Saints must be throwing up right now.

Was the most overall boring SB I can remember.

I can and do most definitely appreciate a great defensive performance. But I hesitate to say that’s what this was. McVay was lost and in over his head. No adjustments, no clue what to do. He’s admitted IT even. It was just ugly on the Rams side offensively. Defensively they were solid, but Brady and the Pats offense was also less than stellar. There were a ton of just plain bad plays by both offenses. Bad throws, poor routes. Just very sub par for that level IMO. There wasn’t many great defensive plays by players. It was all a scheme effort. Which is fine, but it’s not gonna go down as a great defensive game, because the offenses were not counter punching.

The commercials sucked more than ever. I mean I can’t think of a single really good one. Not one.

The halftime show, lol, like I give a shit, but still. Hell the first thing I can remember when anyone mentions SB halftime shows, is Katy Perry riding in on a giant lion. Even she knew how to make an entrance.

Congrats to the Pats and their fans and Curtis. But this SB was quite forgettable IMO.

The secret to the Pats success is very similar to the success at Alabama.
BB is very similar to Saban in the fact that they are both phenomenal at evaluating talent. Especially good at identifying players that can play in their system. They understand exactly what they need and exactly how to use those players. Saban is also phenomenal at recruiting those players. BB is very good at acquiring them also. That’s why the Patriots feel like Brady is more a product of their system. Lots of QBs would have won SBs had they played for NE. This last SB is a perfect example. Brady played piss poor for the most part.

I like the cowboys, but am not delusional enough to think Emmitt Smith was top 3 among cowboy HB's, let alone all time, all NFL. I don't think Aikman was a top 50 QB all time, let alone top 5. Those guys won a lot of Superbowls and were it not for the niners would have won a lot more, but that doesn't make them Johnny U and Jim B.

Emit Smith was an outstanding RB. But most of his career was spent playing behind an All Pro O line and following an All Pro Fullback thru the hole. He also had an offense that was loaded with weapons around him. Defenses could not focus on stopping him. Barry Sanders on the other hand was the complete opposite and was unstoppable most of the time.

Aikman was good but not great. I’d say maybe 35-50. See the same as above. He also had good defenses that would bail him out.

Football is a TEAM sport. You got to have the supporting cast to win SBs. Look what Montana had around him. HOFs every where.

The best QB I ever saw was Dan Marino. And really isn’t even close. He put up phenomenal stats with sub par talent. No running game and defenses would focus on stopping the pass and they couldn’t. And he played in an era where QBs were hit almost every drop back. Unlike the touch football Brady gets to play in today. . Nobody could throw it like him. Had he played in SF he would have won 10 SBs.

As far as the best RB I ever saw, Bo Jackson, Earl Campbell, Barry Sanders. Every single time those guys touched the ball, you knew it could be a TD. No matter what part of the field they were on.
