East Coast Bias Bowl -- Running Super Bowl XLVI Thread

Oklahoma State agrees.

 

The continued dismissal or diminishing of Joe Montana's talent and accomplishments is baffling. I am not a 49ers fanboy, I live out here now but didn't grow up here, but ... come on. Go look at that 1981 team, he had as little or less talent around him as any of Brady's early Super Bowl teams. Jerry Rice didn't arrive until 1985, and by then Montana had two Super Bowls and another appearance in an NFC championship game.

Really don't understand it at all.

 

Favre, Rodgers and Starr, who am I missing?. The Raiders had 4 also, I think. Lamonica, Ganon, Plunkett and Stabler.

Favre is the only QB is Packers history to lose a Super Bowl. (Starr lost the 1960 NFL CHampionship, The Eagles only title)

 

Who was the Packers' fourth Super Bowl QB? Starr, Favre, Rodgers and ...?

 

Brady has two Super Bowl MVPS, one for XXXVI, which he didn't deserve, and one for XXXVIII, which he did.

 

I think this is dead on and about time somebody said it. The Run and Shoot/Silver Stretch/Red Gun were way ahead of their time. And those teams were always fun to watch.

Say what you want about Doug Williams. With that running game, that offensive line, and those receivers, his attributes were all they needed -- a pure pocket passer with a big arm, who was going to get every bit of time to go through his reads.

+3 over tiny, lousy-rushing Denver with a midget defensive front was one of the biggest underdog bargains in the history of the event-- if not THE biggest.

 

Funny to look back on Brady's three Super Bowl wins and consider that he was seen as a premier game manager but a notch below the league's best quarterbacks. Barely a top-10 passer by rating most years, and for sure he was no Peyton Manning.

 

Ben, I remember covering Super Bowl XXII and interviewing Bronco nose tackle Greg Kragen on Media Day. He was a nice fellow and a good interview, but I remember looking at him and thinking "This guy isn't that much bigger than me. And he's a nose tackle!!!" An investment on Washington followed as soon as I reached a secure telephone.

 

Only reason they were +3 is because Doug Williams was black.

Dummies.

 

Eagles also won NFL championships in 1948 and '49.

 

Gronkowski's ankle is the biggest headline of the game as far as I'm concerned. He is the Patriots' go-to guy, more than Welker. Welker gets the receptions but when the game is on the line, Gronk is the biggest target out there. I bet the Giants go after him hard on the Patriots' first series, give his ankle a little love tap.

It reminds me of the Dwight Freeney foot situation in the Super Bowl against the Saints. He was not the same player and it showed.
