Who’s watching the super bowl

I'll watch because I don't want to miss something potentially great

 

Last year's SB was great with the perfect ending

 

McVay is a very good coach who has the benefit of being young and not just doing things a certain way because that's what you do like so many other coaches

 

He is unpredictable. Rams are loaded with talent. So I give them a decent shot.

Keep in mind, people said the same thing last season.  Philadelphia was an underdog and Belichick was going to school Foles into having a bad game.  Jim Schwartz’s defense has never been very effective against Brady, and the secondary with Ron Darby and Cory Graham were going to burned by Brandon Cooks and Gronk.  How’d that work out?

 

Two out of three, I’d say.

I call bull#### on those who say you won’t watch.  As a football fan, you follow the sport all year and then when it gets to the biggest spectacle in sports, you do something else?

 

Then when everyone is talking about the game the next day, you chime in with how you watched Seinfeld reruns instead?  Or how you spent the day at the antique store with your wife?

 

lol

I disagree about Titans/Rams

 

The Rams were a flash of brilliance with Warner and the Greatest show on turf, after being a joke most of my football watching life.  

 

I was still a bit bitter at the Titans for music city miracle.

 

 

 

As far as Super Bowl zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz match-ups, I got

 

Giants Ravens

Steelers Cardinals

Colts Bears

Buccaneers Raiders

 

it was a SB with two surprise teams in a lousy year that i didn't care about at all heading into it

don't want to but hard to avoid. kind of pisses me off there has been maybe 2 super bowls in the past 20 years that I could just enjoy and not give a ***** about the outcome.

Interesting take. Mind telling me specific SBs? I've particularly enjoyed the Giants bowls, Eagles, Ravens, Seahawks.. bunch of birds mostly. Not so much Steelers and Pats wins but that's just about it.

 

Eagles last year rivals my 2007 Giants SB as best SB outcome ever (in my limited years). 

 

Unless of course you're just talking Pats I totally get that. Anything else you got beef with?

 

EDIT: I misread your post. You want to be totally nuetral in a game. I'd say a) that's difficult, and b) teams beating the Patriots in the SB is much much more satisfying I like caring about the outcome!

sometimes i say the heck with it

 

but i have never voluntarily skipped an NFL playoff game since the 1973 season

 

yesterday was one of the best days ever, 2 great displays of talent that went to OT

 

if i stop now i can be happy and not feel ripped off ever again, as if...

 

 

i really enjoyed the games yesterday too.  not the outcomes, but it was entertaining football.  i'm not so locked in like a bills game, but this is it for months.  i want to get my fix in.

I'll be rooting for Andrew Whitworth. One of my favourite players, a tremendous technician and an upstanding guy off the field.

 

It could potentially be his last game at the age of 37. If so, I want him to go out on top.

 

Same. And all those years in Cincy he got almost zero attention from anyone in the media or any of the talking heads. He has been an outstanding football player his whole career. Nobody deserves it more than he.

Shouldn't be a shock to anyone that knows Whit that he found a kindred spirit in Kyle Williams. Both guys are cut from the same cloth.

If you watch this disgusting excuse of a form of entertainment than you are crazy. It would be better watching someone shoot your dog.

Do you mean American football in general?  Or the Superbowl in general?


Or Superbowls in which the Patriots play?  Or games which are played by teams which wrongly advanced due to officiating error?  


What are you saying, Tatonka?

I am saying I do not want to watch the Patriots win and the listen to the Brady love fest.

Got it.

 

I think a lot of people feel that way.

 

I think they are calling it "Patriots Fatigue" like it's a documented phenomenon.

 

I will watch, but if it turns into a blowout, I'll stop watching.


And if NE wins and I'm still watching at the end of the game,  I will turn the TV off faster than you can say "Patriots suck" so I don't have to see any celebrating.

After watching the first game, knowing it should be the Saints........ and now the Cheatriots.... I don’t think I will even be able to watch. 

 

Can someone with more smarts than me make this a poll?

I just posted this on another thread too. I'm with you man I'm not watching this year. I don't give a good goddamn.

I've gone skiing on a few Super Bowl Sundays. I usually get back (Mountain Time) just after kickoff. But something weird happened last year - lift lines were longer than on previous Super Bowls, traffic was heavier. Patriots fatigue? Everyone caught onto my idea and ruined a good thing? 

We skied last year during the Super Bowl. I watched the game after I found out Pats* lost. Good time with the family instead of stressing over a game.

I am so confused on why someone calls others liars when they say they will not watch, it is not the Bills in the game. I did not watch last year and will not watch this year because overall games have not been entertaining and officiating is atrocious. I watched 4th qtrs yesterday only and saw three calls in 30+ minutes of game time that should cause an official to lose their jobs and these are the best they have.

I have followed thru on my promise not to watch another SB with NE after the Seattle debacle.

 

I won't be watching a second of this SB.

 

The last SB I watched was the Den-Car game. I haven't watched a second of any game since and I won't until there is another AFC team other than NE is in it.

 

The best way to not get angry over any NE with SB relations is to not watch it. Has worked wonders for me.

Yeah. The Titans coming up short by a few feet was perhaps my favorite Superbowl moment. Had a VERY strong rooting interest in that one.

I'm out !! After that BS call that gave the wrong team the win & put them in the SB , Nope don't want to watch if it would have been a regular season game that's a bit of a different story but this was for the NFL's biggest game & the only way to have any effect at all on situations such as this is to hit them in the wallet .

 

And even though just me not watching will have no effect what so ever on how they go forward it will make me feel a ton better & in the end it's all about ME !! 

 

I learned that from watching the NFL !!

I think it was part of that Four Falls of Buffalo ESPN special that came out a while back but it showed how the nation was kinda tired of seeing the Bills in the Super Bowl for the third and fourth straight years. People were like, "Anyone but the Bills." Wish I'd hear that with the Patriots. I'm sick of their stupid faces. Nine. Nine friggin' Super Bowls in 18 years... so, 50% of the time, they go to the Super Bowl. Enough's enough. 

 

That said, I don't really wanna watch, but I will because football.

Difference is patriots win. Fans were tired of seeing Bills embarrassed in Superbowls.

Dudes wear the "I 'aint watching" thing like some badge of honor, when you know damn well they will ... If you're a fan of the GAME, you watch.  Period. 

 

 

NOPE.

 

Been a fan of the game since the sixties.............used to pretend to be Gary Collins.

 

There is plenty of other football to watch throughout the year , as a FAN, I support that.

 

 

There is no reason to watch an overproduced, for comercial profit, pre-determined for best ratings, 'football'  game.

as true as your avatar and name. 

 

:D

 

 

you don't have to watch the World Series or Stanley Cup Final if your team isn't playing, but you have to watch every major football game if you are a football fan

everyone knew the 3rd and 4th were going to be totally humiliating to the Bills

 

Bills couldn't even sell out hosting the first playoff game of the 3rd one.

If you're talking about the Oilers game, there were over 75,000 at the game...back when they had ridiculous blackout rules and the stadium held 80K...not a fair argument

not at all ridiculous

 

they failed to sell the game out, that just didn't happen in playoff games for decades

 

it's okay, nobody was taking it too seriously for the 3rd one anyway

I'm excited for LA. This new stadium is going to make Jimmy's look like a trailer. I know NE has the superior qb, braintrust  and discipline, but weirder things have happened.  Maybe losing 2 straight SB's might make a 41 yr old Brady reconsider his future. Of course we're all watching.
