Think About It: The Only Good Super Bowls Have the Pats in Them - New England Patriots Forums

Seriously........the Super Bowl SUCKS every year, unless the Patiots are playing. Think about it.....Seattle/Pittsburgh? Sucked. Colts/Bears? Sucked. Ravens/Giants? REALLY sucked. Tampa/Raiders? Mucho suck-o. And on and on and on. So you're welcome, America, and you better just pray the Pats are in it next year. Although come to think of it, if they are, I hope we treat the country to a nice boring 30 point Pats' blowout victory.

Well, as a Pats fan, I have to agree with you. I'm sure other teams' fans would disagree.

I don't think so--I mean objectively good games. The Pats games are close, and usually referred to as the "best ever." The other game are just lousy.

I agree. The last two especially really were suckfests.

Pretty much true, three exceptions, but you have to go all the way back to 1989 for those three more close ones. I thought we were going to channel XXIII, Tom instead of Joe, but not quite.

Super Bowl XXXIV
St. Louis Rams 23 Tennessee Titans 16

Super Bowl XXV
New York Giants 20 Buffalo Bills 19

Super Bowl XXIII San Francisco 49ers 20 Cincinnati Bengals 16

not true

giants bills was great

broncos packers was great

bengals 49ers was great

all the pats sbs have been really good games to the wire, but there have been others

if that game sunday could have got to OT it would have cemented itself as the best sb ever

I think the OP was talking about this decade. You're right, there have been some great ones. Just not lately when the Pats weren't there.

I think you're actually proving my point. Yes, over the 40+ years, there have been a couple of other good ones. But in the main, the games are horrible. The Pats are 4 for 4 playing good to great, exciting, close games.

pats sb = close game at the wire, and very entertaining
