Experience of already playing in the superbowl is huge! (except for 08)

We have to make the most of this, just ask a rams fan if they would take a loss in the superbowl next year, I'd bet my life savings they would take it.

We are the most spoiled fans in the HISTORY of sports! This is a HISTORIC run, other than the Yankees no team has had so much success and a fan base that appreciated them. The early Celts team was good but they simply didnt have as great a fan base for alot of reasons. The yahoos who think they'd like like watching Baltimore vs the Giants today are HIIIIII. We can be critical individually but as a team they had a very successful season. No team can EXPECT to win a championship any year never mind EVERY year. Good jobs guys, better luck next year!

It's not a different viewpoint so much as it's opinions driven by the emotion of the moment that are completely irrational and illogical.

I don't mind the differing opinions. I do mind the asinine ridiculous bull**** fueled by negative emotions clouding their basic senses. Like someone wanting to cut Brady and start Hoyer or Mallett because of the interception (yes that's a post) or how BB and TB won't ever make it back to a Superbowl or how Welker shouldn't be re-signed because he dropped a tough back-shoulder throw that was pretty high.

I don't mind different opinions. But when they're so clueless and based on complete anger and frustration and no thought whatsoever, I don't really consider that a real opinion so much as childish whining and crying and raging.

Maybe troll isn't the right word for that. Maybe retard works better.

I'd rather lose in the SB. It takes a lot to even get there

Sorry for your guys disappointment. I can relate. So I will only add a comment to this thread.

I would rather NOT make the Super Bowl if I'm just going to lose the game.

I think, some fan bases, like the Lions, or Browns, would feel all neat and happy with a trip to the Big Game, or even Bengals fans live knowing they've been there twice...but for us, for us fans of Championship Teams, losing the Championship game is the most painful way for a season to end. Just as winning the Championship game is the greatest high for us.

When the Steelers lost to the Broncos, I decided that was the best way to go out if we had to go out. A Loss at NE, or at Baltimore would have sucked much worse...and a SB Loss...well ef that nonsense. its the worst feeling ever. EF YOU NEIL! and BEN CHECK DOWN! Yep...those losses suck.

Good luck next year...Hope to actually get to play you guys again in a meaningful game...still would like another shot at you all while Tom still has his game.

Well I imagine you've watched a lot of soccer games then, and you should know that the best team doesn't always win. There are always weird bounces that happen, strange plays that happen, strange bounces along the way.

It happens.

Was the team awful tonight? No.

Did we have our chances? Absolutely.

In the biggest game of the year, we had our chances. We didn't take advantage of them. The other team did.

It's not about ribbons or best efforts or anything else like that. It's simply to say it was a close game that could have went either way several different times. There's no need to blow up the team. There's no need to cut Brady. We missed a play here or there. They missed a play here or there too.
There's no shame in losing a close game to a very good team.

That is all.
