Cardinals getting Props: Best Superbowl ever?

Best Superbowl ever?

Don Banks of SI thinks so: http://www.azcardinals.com/nm_files/Image/SuperBowlXLIII/BlogsForSuperBowl/BerryAfterBlog.jpg

There are a lot of people saying some great things about this team.

Good stuff. Doesn't make me feel too much better, but ever little bit helps.

Peter King agress as well:
2. I think it's the best Super Bowl ever.

Definitely the best Superbowl ever. The three greatest Superbowls have all been played in a span of five years (Patriots-Panthers, Giants-Patriots, Steelers-Cardinals). Good time to be alive if you're a football fan.

of course...that makes it all the more painful.

we are gonna have to see replays of this game for many years to come...

the only way the pain can be erased is if we win a super bowl

 

[Jersey Girl]

Can't be the best. We didn't win.

But, yeah, it was a heck of a game.

Regadless of outcome, I'd have to say it should be considered one of the best/most exciting Super Bowls ever. It's unfortunate that it will also be remembered by NFL fans for the officiating as well.

I think I need to let it settle in before I can decide if it was the best, but that game is certainly in the conversation as one of the top ten:

SB 3 (Jets 16, Colts 7 in Jan '69)
SB 13 (Steelers 35, Cowboys 31 in '79)
SB 23 (49ers 20, Bengals 16 in '89)
SB 25 (Giants 20, Bills 19 in '91)
SB 32 (Broncos 31, Packers 24 in '98)
SB 34 (Rams 23, Titans 16 in '00)
SB 36 (Patriots 20, Rams 17 in '02)
SB 38 (Patriots 32, Panthers 29 in '04)
SB 42 (Giants 17, Patriots 14 in '08)
SB 43 (Steelers 27, Cardinals 23 in '09)

There's also a few pre-Super Bowl NFL championships that should be considered and remembered too: Bears 73, Redskins 0 in 1940; Browns 30, Rams 28 in 1950; Colts 23, Giants 17 in OT in 1958; and Packers 21, Cowboys 17 in the 1967 Ice Bowl.

We put up a hell of a fight and damn near pulled it off.....

Now give us 3 or more prime time games next season. We deserve it.
