I grew up in the era of NFC domination so it's very strange seeing the AFC as the superior conference.

I think Denver was favored in 1997.

Well, it looks like the Iggles are the sacrificial meatsacks in Jacksonville. LOL

I'm sure the good people of Jacksonville are thrilled their city will soon be annexed by IGGLES fans...lol.

Congrats again, Eagles. TIME FOR REAL FOOTBALL!

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.

Yeah. The NFC simply didn't have any 'oomph' this year. And I'm a perpetual NFC guy. But, with Pittsburgh in the mix, I'm getting along. Now, here to hoping the Steelers come out blazing.

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.

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