Are we in for another decade of NFC dominance in Super Bowls ?

[Ron Sellers]

I am not pointing out what regular season records were in terms of dominance,this is strictly based on the point of who is showing up more in the biggest game of the year...and lately in 3 of 4 the NFC has outplayed,outcoached,made fewer mistakes and has wanted it more than the AFC teams did....like it was 2 decades ago

Is the NFC more talented in terms of overall players than the AFC?....perhaps you could say that might be the case now but you would have to dig deep into every teams roster to find that answer.

I understand what you're saying. The point I was making was that back in those years, the NFC clearly had not only the better team going into the Super Bowl, but also the best teams (plural) in nearly every one of the seasons. Whatever team got to the Super Bowl was clearly better than any AFC team; the NFCCG was the real battle to determine the league's best team while the Super Bowl was just a formality. Regardless of whether you were looking at the two teams prior to the Super Bowl or with the benefit of hindsight after the game, the NFC team was always clearly superior.

In comparison the last four Super Bowls could have easily gone either way. Yes, the NFC has won three out of the last four. But considering how close the games have been - one single play could have reversed the outcome in each of those games - it's hard for me to say that the NFC is dominating the AFC right now.

To me 'dominating' is a clearly superior team winning easily in blowouts year after year after year. That has not been the case at all over the last four years, so I personally would not characterize the NFC as dominating the AFC right now - nor do I see a reason to expect that they will that over the next decade.

Uh, no. 2 in a row is a long way removed from a "decade of dominance".

No

Well, I mean say Brady, Manning, and Big Ben make it to the next 3 super bowls, depending on the NFC opponent, its highly likely Pats fans especially on here are going to be rooting against Manning and Big Ben so which is it? Your either going to have to give up thinking AFC is better than the NFC to all those fans or have Manning or Big Ben get another ring further stiring the debate of best QB or what not.

Just keep in mind that the GB Packers are the youngest team in the NFL. That is scary.

who keeps saying this???

they are absolutely NOT, the bucs are

and 2 weeks before the season ended WE were the 2nd youngest


where are all these numbers coming from???

 

[IcyPatriot]

I think the power teams are pretty evenly split.

Even the power rankings at the end of the year were evenly split for the top 12 or so teams. the winner will come down to power of the QB and attrition come Super Bowl day ... which is to be expected.

The team who just won the SB is always "scary" to everyone. I clearly remember people here claiming the Giants were going to start a dynasty.

Yeah, but now that all those back ups who stepped up this year are going to want $$$. Packers are like the every other super talented team in the NFL...issue of salary cap. They have a 3 year window with their current team, then they will need to rebuild that defense
