  1. Super Bowl XXII Denver got run over by relative unknown Timmy Smith, who became a one-hit wonder after this Super Bowl. Then two years later (SB XXIV), the Broncos would be destroyed by 45 in what is still the biggest margin for a victory in Super Bowl history.
  2. That Super Bowl XXI logo is probably one of the worst designed logos in Super Bowl history. It just doesn't work how they designed it.
  3. This was probably the first Super Bowl in which the losers were probably happy to just be there. New England never stood a chance against the blitz-happy mayhem the 46 Defense of Chicago wrecked on Patriots starter Steve Grogan. Of course, everyone knows the ubiquitous shot of William 'Refrigerator' Perry just battering his way through the Patriots Goal Line D to score a TD. As Dave Dameshek said in his Super Bowl XX N'if'L episode, he referred to New England as the "plucky, but over-matched Patriots". And the Bears hardly had to break a sweat in the NFC Championship game as they beat Dieter Brock and the LA Rams. Brock being one of Dameshek's 5 "Worst QBs to start a Championship game" joining other fine QBs like Mark Malone and Rex Grossman.
  4. I quoted this to test the quote system out, and I was able to quote the message. I was really curious as to why Stanford got the SB, so thanks for all the information that came forward.
  5. Why was this game at The Farm anyway? Didn't it have something to do with the Rose Bowl?
  6. Marcus Allen's U-Turn run for a score just punctuated how much more dominate the Raiders were this day over the Redskins. They just dominated Washington in every facet on the field.
  7. Rematch of Super Bowl VII, this time Washington got their revenge and John Riggins just ran wild on Miami en route to the 'Skins victory.
  8. They probably would've just used this logo (used from 1970 to 1985):
  9. That's a good idea. Doing that would mean the first Super Bowl (AFL-NFL Championship Game) would've been an all-Texas affair between the Cowboys and Oilers (both lost their respective league championship games in 1967).
  10. I hope you don't mind, but I think this may have been the field had Dallas beaten San Francisco in Candlestick (I just plugged in their endzone markings from SB XIII, I don't think it would've changed much [if at all] 3 years later).
  11. I think (judging by Dave Dameshek's N'if'L series had Dallas beaten San Francisco [AKA 'The Catch' never happened]) Dallas would've beaten Cincinnati here in the Silverdome in Super Bowl XVI. But, Dallas didn't win and The Catch spelled the end of the line for Dallas and they just began to limp through the rest of the decade before finally hitting rock bottom in 1989 finishing 1-15.
  12. Judging by that image a few pages ago, the Bengals script wasn't that bunched together, but spread out. I think.
  13. Eh, it doesn't work with Philadelphia as it would've with Los Angeles (Rams). Maybe. But...poor Danny White. He did what Roger never did I believe (3 straight NFC Championship appearances) and got diddly squat for it. But, Danny White wasn't a poor QB. If he won at least one of those NFC Championships (@ Philadelphia, San Francisco and Washington), and a Super Bowl (they probably would've beaten at least Cincinnati in the Silverdome in SB XVI), Danny White would've possibly been regarded with adoration like Roger was.
  14. The Raiders became the first Wild Card team to win the Super Bowl and pretty much outplayed Philadelphia in every facet of the game this day. Wonder how the Raiders would've fared had they played Dallas in the Super Bowl (and not Philadelphia).
  15. Wow, not bad. It does make the NFC logo pop out now.
  16. Exactly. With the Bengals, I don't know why they didn't try the same thing with the Rams (and maybe with the Eagles in Super Bowl XV).
  17. I'm curious to why they didn't experiment with the Rams by having the ram horns on both helmets in the endzone because the NFC logo kind of blends into the blue helmet.
  18. This was the playoffs in which Rams defensive lineman Jack Youngblood played the entire playoffs (vs. Dallas and Tampa Bay) on a broken leg. The LA Rams did have the lead at the half, but couldn't hold it for the second half.
  19. I for one don't really really think the whole Blue Jays set from 2004-2011 was really that bad. It's a least better then that terrible "anthropomorphic, roided-out" Blue Jay they had the year previously.
  20. Two words that sum up this Super Bowl. Jackie. Smith. A lot of things went wrong for the Cowboys that game. Jackie Smith of course, but the interference call made when Swann tripped over Benny Barnes, Franco Harris's TD aided by an officials block, and Gerela's terrible kickoff that ended up being fumbled because Randy White was wearing a cast. Despite all of those errors, Dallas had a chance to possibly win the game (or at least put Pittsburgh really behind the 8-ball) if Jackie Smith held onto that pass. I think Pittsburgh would've had less then a minute or something to try and march down the field and have the ability to retake the lead and win the game.
  21. Two words that sum up this Super Bowl. Jackie. Smith.
  22. I believe Super Bowl IX was supposed to be the first Super Bowl in the Superdome. But, construction hit a snag with the dome and it's debut on the big stage came in Super Bowl XII. The Orange Crush defense, that was an underrated group. It's just they got overshadowed by all the other great defensive units from the 70's (The Doomsday Defense II, The Steel Curtain, The Purple People Eaters, The 'No Name Defense'). Craig Morton, who was on the flipside of the QB battle in Dallas and was the loser to Roger Staubach, led Denver to the Super Bowl, but the Doomsday Defense KO'ed him rather quickly and his back-up Norris Weese didn't fair much better. This is the only game in which there were co-MVPs (Harvey Martin and Randy White).
  23. How many Super Bowls had those small little Super Bowl shields at the 35-yard lines? I think it might have been only X and XI because I've seen pics of the field in Super Bowl XII (Dallas v. Denver; mostly from the Dallas Cowboys Historia Book) and those little shields don't make a 3rd appearance on the field at the Superdome.
  24. Aside from the Swann catch, this game is notable for Percy Howard, a man who never caught a pass in the regular season, caught his one and only pass (a TD) beating out the great Mel Blount to score it. That was Howard's only catch of his professional career.
  25. The AFL logo from Super Bowl V to IX underwent a period of evolution. From a plain and boring big A and blue stars to a smaller red 'A' and bigger blue stars.
