Re: Greatest Football Game Evar!

16-7 isn't that big of a deal...the Colts even today can't win the big one.

The Dallas-Pittsburgh game is eliminated from contention as Gryph already established the greatest game evar cannot involve a team from Texas. Dallas is in Texas, ergo...

The Bengals-Niners....hmmm...that's a good one too since they actually did make it. Still, I don't know that the backstory there compares to a guy who was stocking groceries a year previous winning the Super Bowl (especially a team as historically "meh" as the Rams).

Re: Greatest Football Game Evar!

1969 was a little before my time (I think it was '69 at least, I could be mistaken though!)
It is all a matter of opinion. I mean, the '85 Bears was actually the first super bowl I was alive for, I was ohh, 5ish months old about at the time, so thats a special one for me. Regardless, I was still in my Payton Jersey!!!!!!

Silver we agree on alot. Dane Sucks, Stoke is Old, Texas sucks, gryphen is hawt, etc,etc,etc,etc.

Jets quarterback Joe Namath "guaranteed" victory on the Thursday before the game, then went out and led the AFL to its first Super Bowl victory over a Baltimore team that had lost only once in 16 games all season.
This was still back in the days when it was the much superior NFL vs the upstart AFL. The Colts had pretty much dominated the NFL and the Jets were not given much of a chance to win. This game was one of the biggest upsets in pro football history.

But I can go by the fact that it's a two score victory.

And look at the Colts today, weren't they like...14-2 last year? Fell short of the Super Bowl (which with the change in playoff structure, the AFC Championship would BE the Super Bowl back then). The fact that it's regarded as an major upset simply shows that oddsmakers, even back then, didn't really grasp the "Any Given Sunday" concept. Unlike college, the talent gap in pro football is not that big, especially when you start looking at the playoff teams. Look at the Chargers, the Ravens and the Colts. Can you predict who would win? Same thing with the Bears, the Seachickens, the Aints and the TBA NFC East team. While things have changed a bit over the years, that one hasn't. Any given Sunday...

Re: Greatest Football Game Evar!

Who won that game again? Ohh yeah, USC lost it, no one won it. HA! By the way, I hated Vinny Young until this year, but now, he has really really impressed me. Way to go VYOUNG

Re: Greatest Football Game Evar!

Since the greatest game of all time does involve a Texas team, Gryphons rule is null and void. If such a rule was in effect, then the universe would cease to exist due to the contradictions of two truths.

Re: Greatest Football Game Evar!

No, it simply proves that the 2005 Rose Bowl was not the greatest game ever. In these matters, I trust the general cosmic wisdom of Gryphon over the provincial opinions of someone from the bottom of the US.

That looked like sloppy football to me. They didn't have anyone that could catch on their hands team.
