And, if we're too dumb to figure out which team we're voting for, then we don't deserve to win.

Maybe they should go read the rulebook.

Vote until the percentage changes!

We are now winning by 1%

Yeah, I just cast another half dozen votes while waiting for a phone call. OMG! I must be a cheater! I'm sooooooooooooooo ashamed.

Thanks to the above information I got the two wrong votes back and then some....

The Pats should win easy with SB XLIX. There's not much of a comparison really. The Pats beat the best defense in years and they scored more points than Pittsburgh did against a 9-7 Cards team.

They "should" win this meaningless internet poll, but I'm guessing that it's more of a popularity contest for Steeler fans (one of the most recognized fanbase in sports across the world), as well as fans of any one of the other 31 teams.

In other words--the general public does not care for us

You're assuming an unbiased electorate, as well underestimating Squeeler fan fanaticism.

The General Public doesn't care for us? The game made the finals! Over any Cowboys/Giants/49ers/Broncos/Colts Super Bowls. There's no shame in getting second place here. It is beyond clear that the general public appreciated how fantastic Super Bowl 49 was. And Super Bow 43 was a damn good game too.

But they didn't, they were gutless and benched players.. and then went 1 and done because they're a spineless team that lacks physical and mental toughness.. and why nobody will remember that 2009 team any more than they remember the Panthers, vikings, Steelers or whoever in some random year.

you can't say they would have gone 16-0, that's giving them credit for something they didn't have the balls to attempt and therefor should not be recognized or patted on the back for "almost" going 16-0.

The Steelers came close one year with a 15-1 record

I am not "giving them credit," nor "patting them on the back." Neither the Jets nor the Bills were good teams. Had the Colts played to win those games, it is probable, though not certain, they would have won and finished 16-0. The Colts were widely criticized at the time for sitting down their starters and not going for the perfect season. They paid the price by losing in the first round.

Simple really, when you have an organization that has won six rings you build up a large obnoxious band wagon fan base. This is a popularity contest nothing more and the Steelers have a large national fan base. The one today's Steeler fans were alive to see naturally gets the votes.

So true.
I'm stuck on this otherwise wicked pissah day cruise with folks from wife's bible study. I'm the apostate but anyway they're all Steelers fans to the core. Long lectures about how there are more Steelers bars in FL, in Europe and the world than any other team. Blah, blah, blah.
I can be a consummate wiseass in person (this may be hard to believe, I know) but I said nada about Ben the Rapist or who won the SB. I think sainthood is due for me now.

Most of us feel that this is more than obvious. I'm rather shocked that you'd even bother attempting to question or dispute it.

There are many variables in play here, such as the individual matchups, the fact that the last round was SB13 from 35+ years ago, the younger age of the average voter on an internet poll, any bias shown from opposing fanbases, and the much larger fanbase which makes up "Steeler Nation."

Either way, it's cool to see that at the moment, people view SB49 as one of the top games of all time.

I'm just speaking in regards to this poll.

90% of fans i have come across NOT pats fans..hate us

It was a great game even though 85% of football fans hated both teams

Interesting how all these Steeler fans can't stand to stay in Pittsburgh.

PatsFanSince74 · Apr 3, 2015

OK. We're up 58-42, but there are still two more days of voting. We don't want some fan board in Pittsburgh to notice this and start...well...OK...doing what a lot of us have been doing for several days now...

Anybody on this Board who hasn't cast at least 10 votes for SB XLIX should hand in their keyboard/tablet/ smart phone to Ian and never be heard from again.

They've never lived in Pittsburgh.

It's like how in the late 90s the most insufferable person you could find was someone in some random state who was inexplicably a Cowboys, Lakers, and Yankees fan.

Mountain_Commando · Apr 3, 2015

So, I wonder if Ravens fans have visited that page lately.

Mountain_Commando · Apr 3, 2015

By the way, I sure hope I'm the only Mensa member who's been clicking on the game the whole time WITHOUT clicking on the "Vote" button below that you have to scroll down to see.

So maybe THAT's why our lead dropped overnight from 58--42 to 56--44!

You go right back to the top of this thread and click on the Link and then the Pats game and then the Vote button until your hand is numb...and then get someone else to take over for you!

Remember what Tom Brady said before the SB: this is for pride, this is for our family's pride! Now suck it up and do it!

Super Bowl XLIX is still ahead but the margin has declined to 10%. Hope we didn't peak too soon before Sunday.

Casanova Frankenstein · Apr 4, 2015

Threw in a handful of votes for Superbowl 49; don't know if their web site tracks IP addresses though.
