Interesting thing I read tonight:
No team in NFL history with an offense or defense ranked outside the top 25 has ever won the Super Bowl.......49ers rank 26th in total offense, Giants rank 27th in total defense and the Patriots are ranked 31st in total defense. The Baltimore Ravens are ranked 15th on offense and 3rd on defense.
I suppose the Giants are on the bubble for D. And the Niners right on the bubble for O.
IMO the best thing that could happen to the game is the Ravens winning it all.
I was delusional a lot this year and would not face the facts. Rodgers was amazing. But, I also hoped the D could turn it around a la 2006 Colts. Problem is the 2006 Colts for those who watched them every single game had two D's; The one with Bob Sanders and the one without. The one with IMO was a top 10 D. The one without was a bottom 10 D. It's no accident they ended the year ranked I think 23rd overall and peaked with Bob in the lineup back for the playoffs.
If the Pats win it all then what becomes of defense wins championships? People will just want to keep loading up on big talented TEs and stuff. If the Giants win then again people will think you can fart around half the regular season and just show up at the right time.
A Patriots/Giants SB is such a bad thing to happen. It's just more QB hype in a QB crazy league.
I would rather see a balanced team win it all who has quietly gone about their business for most of the year without too much hype.
Overall I want to see two bone crushing defensive battles this weekend if the refs allow it. I want to see Brady and Eli have to be challenged and not have enough time to text their wives in between throws.
I am also sick of New York and Boston.
