My takeaway from the Super Bowl…
You don’t need to be perfect to win it all. You just need to get there.
Agreed.
Neither team looked spectacular and had much better championship game performances.
Credit Holmgren who has said it’s all about getting into the tournament.
Anything can happen from there.
Theres no difference these days between the 14 win teams and the 9 win teams. Holmgren is right about that, just get into the playoffs and anything can happen. Especially if you have a great QB. I mean the Giants are nothing special but they are the Champions.
Cleveland fan who has lived his entire life at the Jersey Shore. Senior year of High School AND College I watch the Giants win the Super Bowl. Just my luck
Maybe not but there is a huge difference between those two teams and the Cleveland Browns. This offseason will be make or break. Free agency starts in just over a month. Time will tell.
they had a good offense and good defense. They won a tough division. That counts for something.
