I grew up in the era of NFC domination so it's very strange seeing the AFC as the superior conference.
Ok....lets get the prelims overwith so we can get to the real game.
bump to that.
I think Denver was favored in 1997.
I'm sure the good people of Jacksonville are thrilled their city will soon be annexed by IGGLES fans...lol.
Yea, the NFC had a monopoly on the Super Bowl for a long time.
Congrats again, Eagles. TIME FOR REAL FOOTBALL!
Enough of the undercard. Time for the main event... the REAL SUPER BOWL. Wooooooooooooo!!!!!
Relief.....whew.
Three hours of high level stress ahead.
In 1995 Stewart has a 135 QB rating. His career rating was 70.
Vicks are pretty close -- 76.1 and his highest has been an 81.
I know some people don't like ratings, but it can be used to group QBs -- Stewart and Vick are analagous but Kordell at his best was better than Vick at his best.
Given the fact that the Steelers then were a run oriented ball control team, definitely making Terry win the game was the way to beat them.
GO EAGLES GO !!

You said it, I'll probably have no fingernails by the time the game is out.
That was tried. Which is why both Swann and Stalworth are in the Hall of Fame.
First time since January of 1981. The first Super Bowl of the Reagan administration.
This Packer fan is rooting for the Patriots all the way!!

We can only hope! Here's praying that the regular season Steelers are in the house tonight, not the Vs. Jets team!
