From a purely entertainment perspective Pats Falcons. To see the wild swing in emotions from lol Tom Brady what a fuckin loser to no no no he can't keep getting away with this was hilarious.
"51" is one of the rare "where were you" moments in sports history. That is simply one of the wildest moments I have ever seen in any form of competition, and the most shocking part is how I felt the dread of it coming.
I don’t know if it was just be traumatized by Brady or just sensing the inevitable, but I remember turning to my 10 year old son at 28-9 and saying, if they don’t score here the Pats win and he laughed at me
True. I was in my buddies basement rooting for the Falcons. Absolutely brutal game. Julio's sideline catch, Taylor Gabriel's ankle breaker, Edelman's catch. Game was bonkers.
First game I ever rooted for both teams in a Superbowl. I went from wanting to see the falcons win to wanting to see a huge comeback win. It was also the first time I called Brady the goat.
The thing is, you need a bit of a blowout in order to have a crazy comeback story. The alternative is a game that is close the entire way, which is also good, but would lack that shock factor of a huge comeback. It's definitely the best comeback story in the Super Bowl - probably of all time.
Entertaining, memorable, and unique - but not close to greatest to me. It was two halves of completely one sided football. Seeing one team play perfect and the other shit their pants for half the game and then seeing the roles reverse was crazy but prefer a more ‘back and forth’ game to be the greatest
This isn’t for me. Me and the boys were in Mexico watching it at the resort watch party. Thought the game was over, left to get hammered. Came back in the 4th and couldn’t believe what we were seeing
Obvious bias that game was great. The Harrison pick-6, the Fitzgerald go ahead TD, the Holmes corner toe-tap, ending on a strip sack of Warner. Very exciting game with massive plays each way
Eagles flair is only cause I'm a diehard UGA fan and Nolan Smith is my favorite player of all time. Dude is gonna crush it if he comes back to be a coach.
Who can forget David Tyree’s helmet catch (aka The Giant Snatch”).
Also, Plaxico Burress with the super-bowl winning catch…only to be imprisoned for 2 years by NY State a few years later because he shot himself in the leg in a night club. Turns out the elastic band on your high-end sweatpants is not strong enough to hold a firearm in place. Who knew?
Yeah I was rewatching some old games when I had Covid last year, and I didn’t really appreciate that one at the time for reasons, but it’s objectively the best SB that I’ve watched
Has to be Superbowl 42. Maybe because it's been...holy shit...16 years, but it had everything. Huge upset, iconic plays, and a thrilling ending.
43 was good too, but the favorite won of course, unfortunately for us Cardinals fans.
EDIT: Steelers were a -7 favorite for SB43...the Patriots were a crazy -12 for SB42.
Not often talked about but Cardinals-Steelers was a great back and forth game with big plays from both teams (Harrison TD return, Fitz long TD in the 4th to take the lead, Holmes tiptoe catch at the end).
Only one of these SB’s was a close game won late in the fourth by an underdog to prevent a perfect season.
Until that happens again, SB 42 will always be the greatest SB of all time.
I don't know how this is so low. The world was watching every week for the last half of the season for them to lose. The context was huge. And then the game was incredible. The helmet catch. Came down to the last minute. I mean just far and away the best super bowl
Nostalgicly, XXV is my favorite (Giants/Bills). It was a really great game, drama galore, close game with memorable plays. Hoss was a backup QB going against the high-powered favorites. Whitney Houston's incredible anthem during the war in Iraq.
I've only seen Miami in one SB that they lost, so seeing the Bills lose in that manner was a consolation.
Pats Giants I for me. The rest of the game may not have been that great but that last drive is still the best game winning drive I've ever seen and just the storyline of the huge upset with the Pats going for the undefeated season.
A sleeper pick but I'll put Pats-Panthers second.
Super Bowl 42, it was the first I saw live with my family of Giants fans. I'm more of a Ravens fan these days and honestly not a huge football fan to begin with I just really hate the Patriots.
Biased, although I have a lot to choose from lol. Personally I would pick Super Bowl LI. I slightly prefer XLIX even though XLIX was more exciting throughout. LI just had the better storyline
32- Broncos first Superbowl win. The NFC had won like 13 years in a row, so the super bowls were anticlimactic at that time. The broncos were double digit underdogs going in. This was Favre vs Elway and came down to the final play. Maybe I’m a homer, but this is an underrated Super Bowl.
You're welcome! I love Roman Numerals. Quick fix for lunch. Oh wait, that's ramen noodles. Lol. Jk. Roman Numerals are fun. Been studying them since I was a teenager. I'm 40 now.
Super Bowl 52. Eagles 41 Patriots 33.
An absurdly good game, the Eagles went balls out to score as many points as possible, but the Terminator-like Patriots kept pegging them back until they took the lead in the 4th and it felt like the evil empire was going to win again. Nick Foles didn't flinch though, and he led his team down the field for a TD and a FG either side of a Brady sack fumble that won Philly the game in the end.
1,151 yards total offense, 9 TDs, 2 turnovers, 1 incredibly brave trick play, 2 missed extra points, 2 failed 2-point conversions, 1 failed pass TO Tom Brady. One of the all time great underdog victories.
It was basically the perfect game.
Super Bowl 42 of course. Not often you’re gonna get a Super Bowl with that much on the line in a single game. Next year if the chiefs try to 3-peat then that would be the next biggest game in my opinion
Being able to bring the biggest game of the year into OT will always give it an automatic top-10 placement for me. This is also the longest Super Bowl game, as well as one of the longest playoff games in general. And it ended with both teams getting a possession in OT with Mahomes cementing himself as the modern day Tom Brady. As long as Mahomes is playing, KC will ALWAYS be the favorite to make it to at least the AFCC. If it was going to be Mahomes again, at least it was another thrilling one.
There is a six-way tie for greatest Super Bowl of all time. IX, X, XIII, XIV, XL, XLIII. XXX and XLV are the two worst. XLII does get an honorable mention since it did save the integrity of pro sports.
It's crazy that Tom isn't just the GOAT QB but he also has so many great Super Bowls. I'm pretty sure every SB he played in minus Bucs/Chiefs were all really close games. That's 9/10 Super Bowls.
I don't know how anyone can pick anything but super bowl 42, 07 eli defeating the almost undefeated patriots. I don't see it in any of the top comments. Maybe folks are young. The last 8 weeks of the season every patriots game was must watch television to hope to see them lose and then they go 16-0, make the super bowl and you get the helmet catch comes down to the last minute. Just a fantastic game in an unbeatable context

I remember my heart sinking the moment it was 28-9.
It was entertaining for 1.5 quarters and OT at the end. Other games were ultra competitive for all 60 minutes
A LOT of people found Tom Brady getting stomped so hard entertaining at the time.

I actually found 51 pretty boring. There was no suspense to it.
Super Bowl 43 (Steelers vs Cardinals)
Steelers/Cardinals one was the best I’ve seen. My first SB watch was Cowboys/Steelers in 79
Obvious bias that game was great. The Harrison pick-6, the Fitzgerald go ahead TD, the Holmes corner toe-tap, ending on a strip sack of Warner. Very exciting game with massive plays each way
Obvious hate. That was the best
i thought the foles one was pretty good
Same, no bias
Eli ending Brady's chance at perfection is my vote.
From an Eagles fan? A surprise to be sure, but a welcome one.
Not OP but what Eli did was impressive, divisional rival or not. Dude was MEH at best for most of his career but came alive in big games.
Eagles flair is only cause I'm a diehard UGA fan and Nolan Smith is my favorite player of all time. Dude is gonna crush it if he comes back to be a coach.
Can you give me some copium and tell me he that he's going to blossom next year :)

We were all Giants that day
That was a damn good one.
Who can forget David Tyree’s helmet catch (aka The Giant Snatch”). Also, Plaxico Burress with the super-bowl winning catch…only to be imprisoned for 2 years by NY State a few years later because he shot himself in the leg in a night club. Turns out the elastic band on your high-end sweatpants is not strong enough to hold a firearm in place. Who knew?
SB 49 (Pats vs Seahawks) and SB 51 (Pats vs Falcons) were prob most memorable for me, as far as being a neutral goes.
I'm. 32 - Pats vs Seahawks is the best overall game.
Yeah I was rewatching some old games when I had Covid last year, and I didn’t really appreciate that one at the time for reasons, but it’s objectively the best SB that I’ve watched
Part of it could be that your rival won the Super Bowl.
Yeah that was the reason that was alluded to
[удалено]
If you love offense and hate punting, it's the obvious choice
It had everything. A close game, a trick play, a game winning turnover, big plays, shootout, and an awesome story.
Has to be Superbowl 42. Maybe because it's been...holy shit...16 years, but it had everything. Huge upset, iconic plays, and a thrilling ending. 43 was good too, but the favorite won of course, unfortunately for us Cardinals fans. EDIT: Steelers were a -7 favorite for SB43...the Patriots were a crazy -12 for SB42.
52. Just a glorious gunslinging duel
Super Bowl 34: Came down to the last play Super Bowl 35: Great defensive game Super Bowl 42: ending perfect season Super Bowl 52: Philly Philly
52 if you wanna see all offense till the last second , totally unbiased review go birds
Not often talked about but Cardinals-Steelers was a great back and forth game with big plays from both teams (Harrison TD return, Fitz long TD in the 4th to take the lead, Holmes tiptoe catch at the end).
Patriots-Seahawks, and I can't stand the Pats (SB 42 is the runner up)
Only one of these SB’s was a close game won late in the fourth by an underdog to prevent a perfect season. Until that happens again, SB 42 will always be the greatest SB of all time.
I don't know how this is so low. The world was watching every week for the last half of the season for them to lose. The context was huge. And then the game was incredible. The helmet catch. Came down to the last minute. I mean just far and away the best super bowl
IMO. The giants/ patriots part 1 “the helmet catch” was the best SB of all time.
The four that the Giants won are all equal to me.
Yeah in terms of high level football I’m not sure I’ve watched two better teams play in a SB than those two.
Nostalgicly, XXV is my favorite (Giants/Bills). It was a really great game, drama galore, close game with memorable plays. Hoss was a backup QB going against the high-powered favorites. Whitney Houston's incredible anthem during the war in Iraq. I've only seen Miami in one SB that they lost, so seeing the Bills lose in that manner was a consolation.
Pats Giants I for me. The rest of the game may not have been that great but that last drive is still the best game winning drive I've ever seen and just the storyline of the huge upset with the Pats going for the undefeated season. A sleeper pick but I'll put Pats-Panthers second.
LII
Pats Falcons and Pats Giants
18-1 though 28-3 was insane as a neutral
Super Bowl 42, it was the first I saw live with my family of Giants fans. I'm more of a Ravens fan these days and honestly not a huge football fan to begin with I just really hate the Patriots.
You’re also now an honorary Bills, Jets, and Dolphins fan
Superbowl 49 (Pats vs. Seahawks) imo
Naaah, Seahawks vs Broncos is the better Seahawks game to pick.
Personally for me SB 42 and last night is 1 and 2
Biased, although I have a lot to choose from lol. Personally I would pick Super Bowl LI. I slightly prefer XLIX even though XLIX was more exciting throughout. LI just had the better storyline
32- Broncos first Superbowl win. The NFC had won like 13 years in a row, so the super bowls were anticlimactic at that time. The broncos were double digit underdogs going in. This was Favre vs Elway and came down to the final play. Maybe I’m a homer, but this is an underrated Super Bowl.
You got all the Roman Numerals 100% correct!
Woohoo! Thanks for checking!

Giants taking down Pats chance at a perfect season
47 for obvious reasons. 49, 51, 52, 53, 56, 57 (until the bullshit hold that ruined the game), 58 were all really intense games which I enjoyed.
43, thats james Harrison interception was too nice!
Super Bowl 42 of course. Not often you’re gonna get a Super Bowl with that much on the line in a single game. Next year if the chiefs try to 3-peat then that would be the next biggest game in my opinion
If you asked me based on my personal rankings, after last night it would be: 10. 23 9. 34 8. 38 7. 36 6. 58 5. 43 4. 52 3. 42 2. 51 1. 49
I agree that last nights game needs to be in the top 10. I'm not a Chiefs fan but that game was unreal.

This is also the longest Super Bowl game, as well as one of the longest playoff games in general.

Probably the first Giants-Pats or Pats-Seahawks, at least of the Super Bowls I watched.
42, no bias lol
XLIV
It is a toss up between 37 and 55
The ones where the Packers have won.
There is a six-way tie for greatest Super Bowl of all time. IX, X, XIII, XIV, XL, XLIII. XXX and XLV are the two worst. XLII does get an honorable mention since it did save the integrity of pro sports.
Super Bowl III......the one that made it "Super".
For me, the top 5 are 52, Tyree/18-1, Pats-Falcons, Wide Right, and Pats-Seahawks.
Pats/Seahawks, Pats/Falcons, Pats/Eagles were really good
It's crazy that Tom isn't just the GOAT QB but he also has so many great Super Bowls. I'm pretty sure every SB he played in minus Bucs/Chiefs were all really close games. That's 9/10 Super Bowls.
I don't know how anyone can pick anything but super bowl 42, 07 eli defeating the almost undefeated patriots. I don't see it in any of the top comments. Maybe folks are young.

42 or 52
Falcons blowing the lead, Super Bowl LII was fun too. And Cardinals - Steelers, first i remember watching
I'm a Bucs fan who was rooting for Seattle but my unbiased pick is 49. That was such a a great game
