BigEd76 Posted January 14, 2013 Share Posted January 14, 2013 It looks like we will get 3 of 4 teams returning to the final 4 this year.First time since the back-to-back Buffalo/Dallas Super Bowls of 1992-1993.1992 = Buffalo @ Miami, Dallas @ San Francisco1993 = Kansas City @ Buffalo, San Francisco @ DallasBefore that was 1986-1987 when the Broncos lost back-to-back vs the NFC East.1986 = Washington @ NY Giants, Denver @ Cleveland1987 = Minnesota @ Washington, Cleveland @ Denver Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cujo Posted January 14, 2013 Share Posted January 14, 2013 Over the last 12 seasons (since Super Bowl XXXVI), 11 teams will have represented the NFC in the Super Bowl. In that same time, only four teams have repped the AFC (NE, PIT, IND, OAK). Should Baltimore win next Sunday, that would make five.NFC Champions since 2001:RamsBuccaneersPanthersEaglesSeahawksBearsGiantsCardinalsSaintsPackersGiants49ers or FalconsWhy stop at Super Bowl 36? Just go back one more and include the Ravens-Giants. Okayyy..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kramerica Industries Posted January 14, 2013 Share Posted January 14, 2013 Yeah, it actually hurts the stat, since that would mean three times in the past thirteen seasons, the Giants would have represented the NFC.Going back to XXXIV would hurt even more, since now the Rams are on there twice.Starting at XXXVI was a pretty good (if cherry-picked) starting point for that list.

Including that Super Bowl might hurt the point he was trying to make, but not by much. Whoever wins the Falcons-Niners game will make the NFC South or NFC West the only division since the 2002 realignment to have every member appear in the Super Bowl in said span.

DaytonBlue Posted January 14, 2013 Share Posted January 14, 2013 There's a time and place for weather playing a part in a football game, but not the Super Bowl. I feel this is a reasonable compromise. Dome games suck, for the most part.But as that commercial says, all the important games are played in the cold!

Cujo Posted January 14, 2013 Share Posted January 14, 2013 I don't seem to recall anyone raving about how awesome the conditions were in Super Bowl 41 between the Bears and Colts was -- you know, the game played entirely in the rain.As far as the Super Bowl goes, I say let the two best teams go at it on a fair playing field. Pristine conditions. No elements. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No elements.Hence why I think giving Super Bowl 48 to the New York City area was a stupid idea. At least the Colts' home had a retractable roof, just in case, for SB 46.

njmeadowlanders Posted January 14, 2013 Share Posted January 14, 2013 If it's New England/Atlanta, this would be the 4th time in NFL history that you had the same runners up in the AFL/AFC & NFL/NFC in back to back seasons. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't know how I missed that. I stand corrected, only the NFC South will have sent every member if the Falcons win.

dbadefense1990 Posted January 14, 2013 Share Posted January 14, 2013 As much as I HATE seeing the Pats win, the thought of a rematch in the AFC Championship game in what is possibly Ray Lewis' last game vs the one team that has given him fits his whole career is pretty damn intriguing.So was the plotline of the Ravens vs. Peyton Manning, and look how that turned out. Then again, the Pats always get the bounces and clutch plays when playing the AFC teams at home in the playoffs. So expect an epic duel at Foxboro.

dbadefense1990 Posted January 14, 2013 Share Posted January 14, 2013 If any team should've gone to the Super Bowl last year, based on the CCG's, it should've been the Ravens. They were one Lee Evans dropped pass from winning, and one Billy Cundiff chip shot from at least forcing OT. The Niners weren't quite in such close position.Kyle Williams' two fumbles say otherwise... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They got the majority of the dominant NFC era of the 1980s and early 90s, then is reaping the current AFC domination by the Steelers, Pats, Ravens and Colts right now.
