Default Is the NE/SD game still the 'real superbowl?'

Most of us thought Indy was going to be the opposition this weekend but it turned out to be SD.

Most Patriots fans proclaimed BEFORE the Indy/SD game that this weeks game was going to be the REAL Superbowl when NE and Indy were expected to clash.

Now that San Diego is the surprising opponent,Is this still the REAL Superbowl? - or is the Real Superbowl as scheduled in 2 weeks?

Pretty much to sum it up is San Diego more of a threat than Green Bay or the Giants?

The Pats will probably destroy GB, if GB and the Pats made it there (and I'm sure Al Harris agrees with me). The Giants D would give the Pats a much better challenge. So this might still be the real superbowl.

No. If GreenBay makes it and the Pats, then no.
If it's the Giants and Pats in the SB then maybe.
If it's the Chargers and Pack in the SB then maybe.
If it's the Giants and Chargers then yes it is.

I'm going by the matchups I think most people would rather watch.

Absolutely not.

Green Bay is a real team. This wont just be a push over match.

I've doubted Green Bay all year, they just might be legit. As much as everyone likes to give Farve a hard time, I can see him picking apart our secondary. Maybe some Green Bay follower can give us some expert opinion. If not, maybe the Jaguar/Pats game was the Superbowl.

New England/Indy was supposed to be the "real" super bowl a few years ago, and Carolina gave the Pats everything they wanted and then some in the game, including leading the game in the 4th quarter.

Rams/Eagles was supposed to be the "real" super bowl in 2001. That didn't work out so well.

Packers/Niners was supposed to be the "real" super bowl in 1998, but John Elway had a little something to say about that.

Giants played the Patriots really well just a couple of weeks ago.

Except for the Seahawks, everyone in the final 8 this year has been an exceptional team in my opinion. Winning 3 of the final 7 games of the year is a ridiculously hard accomplishment, and I have no doubt that any of the 4 remaining is good enough to have it in them to have done so when we look back.

No way!! Green Bay is much better team than San Diego. Especially with Rivers and LT banged up.

Green Bay would provide more difficulty than the Chargers.

Also remember that Green Bay beat the Chargers in the regular season.

Goddamn, Marcellus Wiley just picked the Pats to win 42-10, so he would probably say no. I'm inclined to agree.
