This reminds me of the 1993-1994 and 1994-1995 seasons in basketball when Jordan prematurely retired and also Tiger Woods being out for the year. Can any team that wins truly say they beat the best? Can the AFC representative say they truly faced the most challenging road and the NFC team say they faced the AFC's best? While Houston Rocket fans probably don't care that they didn't play Jordan in the finals, everyone knows the Bulls would have been there to represent the East and smoke the Rockets in the finals. And everyone knows a truly healthy Tiger would have won 2 or 3 more tournaments this year. To me this is an off-year, almost like if Joe Montana was out for an entire season in the late 80s.

Yes. The winner of this year's Super Bowl will be the best team. Injuries happen to every team, and we will not be the first team to lose a key guy, even if he was the best player in the league.

No. Even with Brady, winning the Super Bowl wasn't guaranteed.

Too hypothetical. Chargers fans can say the same about last year with LT, Gates and Rivers too injured to be effective in the game against the Pats. Injuries are part of the game. If the Pats got to the Super Bowl and Brady was injured in the AFC Championship and couldn't play in the finale, then you can have a legitimate argument.

This won't be an issue since we will be winning the SB this year.

O.Z.O.

Yeah, but the Chargers weren't undefeated last year going into that game, they weren't the favorites to go all the way, nor were they getting 7-2 odds at the beginning of this season. Don't get me wrong, I agree, but it's not as big a stretch.

Why would it be tainted, do we need to have more starters injured when we win it?
