TBF to Brady he was only saying what everyone else was thinking including Giants fans, if only he knew we were going to play so crap and the Giants were going to play their best game of the season

It happens, if you get to the big game that often your gonna lose some, saying that if I was a Bills fan in the early 90's losing 4 in a row I would have to re-think whether or not I enjoyed the NFL anymore

Got 2 tickets to the Super Bowl Super Bash again.

Gutted - had an awesome time last year, coupled with my Packers winning the Super Bowl. And this year's is much better. Less tickets with a far better package. Free Budweiser and Pepsi. Free Pizza. St Louis Rams Cheerleaders. And .. Ndamukong Suh will be there :O.

But no - I'll be in Hull watching the Wire. Dedication.

I had tickets to go to it a couple of years ago but didn't end up going - usually watch on my own because none of my friends are really into it so it would be bad enough trying to get people down to London, and I wasn't going on my own!

Going to watch at some sports bar in Manchester called The Green. They're open until 4am, serving food throughout the night and it's ticket only entry so hoping it should have a good atmosphere and it's a decent game.

First appearance since we ripped you apart. Thought there was a reason you surfaced at 8-0. JCL.

I usually watch it at home with my Brother, the one mate that likes the NFL(sort of) and my Dad(when he doesn't fall asleep 10 minutes before the start) but my Brother has a new house now so I may go around there and drink all his beer before during and hopefully after the game

You couldn't pay me enough to go to any of these cringeworthy 'super bash' things, there's some right muppets that go there by the looks of what they show on sky. Can't see the point in going to watch the game with loads of people you don't know, most of which will be clueless and just going for the sake of it, then paying sjit loads for the drinks and all the other stuff that comes with it, I'd rather just have a few people round that will actually watch the game with a few beers instead of watching idiots take pictures with Richard Blackwood or whatever minor 'celebrity' bandwaggoner that is there this year! Maybe I'm just a cheapskate and miserable

I'm actually looking forward to the 'fan favourite' bowl, just need some sort of NFL even if it is that crap...

Thinking about it it may not seem as bad this year with some of the shocking defense we have seen during the regular season, we may even see some tackling in this game even if it is a kicker/punter on a return!

Team Superbowl party after our game vs Liverpool Fury.

With the pre-match entertainment of myself and a couple others taking part in a pool tournament, dressed up like we're playing the Crucible.

The Bills fans have been through a lot worse than that, they were probably the worst team in the NFL through the early 1980s, and they've only had 1 winning season in the last 12, so that Jim Kelly era probably seems like the greatest days in football for them. I remember one year in the playoffs they were getting smoked by the Houston Oilers 35-3 in the 3rd quarter and they came back and won in overtime.

They went into all those Superbowls as the underdogs, the best chance was the first one against the Giants where Scott Norwood missed a field goal at the end, the others they were pretty much second best right the way through to the Redskins and a strong Cowboys team of the era.

I used to like the Bills as my second team, the Broncos and Bills had a good friendly rivalry in that era for who was the best in the AFC and who would get the right to be spanked by the NFC team in the Superbowl. The Bills had our number for a while but after they slipped and Denver got Terrell Davis the balance shifted in our favour.

The Bills were red hot favourites for the first game against the Giants.

Feels like a while ago now but while I was growing up I never remembered an AFC team being fancied to win the Super Bowl probably until Denver played Atlanta. But you may be right as that was the season where the Bills smashed 50 past the LA Raiders in the AFC Championship game and the Giants beating the 49ers probably meant they thought they had a better chance.
