Super Bowl..On a scale of 1-10???

SPEEDY MCCREADY

That was a 6??
Maybe a 7???

Last 10 minutes were great......

First 50??
Not so much.....

Gotta give Manning credit.....

And the Halftime show???

Gimme a Break.....

Stardog3..

I would have done the halftime show for free and would have been more entertaining by just acting like some asshole dancing around. I would have least sang live.

giants fans ...10


new england....2


everyone else....doubt the giants care lol

Sawyer

there was no rhythm.....its a 4

rick1zoo2

a great game (10), entertaining halftime show (10), good food (10).

super bowls and football in general go down every year....

at one point i thought i was watching the areana league championship.

It came down to the final play. That automatically makes it atleast an 8, regardless of what you think of the half time "entertainment".

8

I give it about 3 or 4, halftime show a zero. The quality of play in this years playoff not great...lots of mistake that cost their teams wins and these are supposed to be the best 12 teams at the end of 16 games.

I'd go with 10 but I'm a Giants fan. Personally I didn't watch the halftime. I would watch if someone like the Who, U2, the Rolling Stones or Bruce Springsteen performed.

what was it, the first play of the game where NE forgot how to tackle.

football is being pussified a little more each and every year.

oh, and watching Manchester United come back to tie 3-3 against Chelsea after being down 3-0 at half time was a 10. All on the new big HD TV we got yesterday was also a 10

Sawyer

oh...and Wes Welkey singlehandedly costing NE with his drop sucked

i couldn't agree more

i haven't watched a half time show in YEARS.

what a waste of a time slot. i bet companies DROOL over that 30 minutes wishing they could fill it with something other than shitty singing and dancing acts.

I couldn't agree with you more. I just can't get past the mistakes that teams in this years playoffs made that allowed these 2 teams in the super bowl.

How 'bout NE forgetting how to catch on their last 2 drives

7.5 Game itself was pretty good i guess, especially the last half of the 4th quarter. Halftime show was better than I thought it would be, commercials were meh

josevolution

NY won i'll go with 8 shit this game was better than last yr's ...

This is exactly what I said about football two weeks ago. Just because games are close doesn't mean they are good. I've watched plenty of bad Dallas football for the past 15 years (including like 10 in a row from last to this year) to tell you that most of those games sucked and things happened to make them close. I mean Giants should have had 4 turnovers in that game (2 pick 6's and 2 fumbled balls that went their way) if any of those go the other way Pats win easily. Conversely, was anyone ever "scared" of the Pats offense today? How many passes travelled further than 7 yards on the fly? Maybe 5, and most of those were on the last drive. These teams were lucky to get here, and were certainly not the best in either conference. Saints-Texans (at full strength or closer to full strength) were probably the two best teams in the NFL at the end, but things went against them. Thats what I miss about football, it's not "lame" tackling (that's like a yearly lame complaint), it's the fact that no one can stockpile talent anymore. It leads to closer games, but shittier football.

lame tackling was brought on by the big hit highlight...everyone wants it...but then people bounce off you and run down the field

plus players now don't want to practice it...with the CBA that only allows one physical practice per week.

It was not as good as 4 years ago. It wasn't even as good as their matchup in week 9 of this year. It was too slow. The injury timeouts didn't help. I give it 6/10.

I thought Madonna was fantastic. I bet a lot of people here did, but are too afraid to admit it!

Glad Eli won MVP. I don't think he had to prove anything to anybody, but there they go!

I'm not a Pats or Giants fan...I'm a Bills fan and I will say in response to your post...that's why they play the game. If in fact the Saints and the Texans were the best teams they would have been in the Super Bowl. You need to win to be the "winner". If you don't believe in that, then the NFL I guess should go to a system like college football where the Super Bowl teams are voted in by the coaches and media correct?

what i'm saying is that the '92 Bills, with their 8 HoFers (or whatever it was), would have run train on either of these two teams (body sizes growing with the times and steroids of course) and they got shellacked 52-17. The reason is that if you have great players you can't keep them anymore. Between the two teams today we had maybe 6-8 HoF Players COMBINED. That surely reflects a change in the way the game is played, and, therefore allows for more upsets and just overall shitty football.

Pats stole the Packers knack for dropping balls today. Wtf happened out there? All I know is I woulda won $400 if they got a tuddy in the end there. I'm too pissed to even rate the game. Football's over...is there anything more depressing than that?!

pureoc

Seeing how it was two east coast teams this game never had a shot of me giving it a great rating. Had that last pass been caught, probably would go down as the greatest superbowl ever. Would have loved seeing loudmouth Bradshaw get played as a goat for being a moron and not taking a knee. It didn't work out in the end but Bellichek is a genius for letting NY score there. That's the move you have to make to give your team any chance at all, great call by him on that. I'm sure morons on the booyah network will castrate him for letting a team score, but that is 100% the correct call.

One question that I think is an interesting one, how many rings would Eli have right now if he had ended up in SD like he was supposed to?
