What's The Worst Super Bowl Ever (Excluding SB VII and SB XVIII)
 
Apart from Super Bowls VII and XVIII, which Super Bowl ranks as the [U]Worst[/U] you've ever seen?

I've seen some bad ones, but I think for me the worst was the Bucs win over the Raiders. My favorite play in football is the interception returned for a touchdown, but that was just ridiculous.

Plus, every time I saw Gruden on the sidelines inching closer to a Super Bowl title all I could think was that should be Dungy.

Chargers-Niners. Complete mismatch. Not even a game.

Worst Super Bowls were the massive blow-out games where there was no question about the outcome early on. Examples:

Bears over Pats in 85.

Niners over Chargers in 96 (I think).

Packers over Raiders in 67

Black Sunday. Raiders 38 Skins 9. That was by far the worst SB I have ever seen. Complete domination by the Raiders.

Agreed...but read the first line of the original post.

I didn't mind the Chargers game if for no other reason that I was happy to see Humphries in the SB.

Totally forgot about the Bears and Walter Payton getting robbed

I remember Super Bowl XXXVII (you know, f it) I mean...Super Bowl 37 as a game that the Raiders spent the whole half climbing out of a 23 point hole and getting it to ten points and some real suspense before the last two minutes became a desperation fest for the Raiders offense. I realize a lot of people lost interest at half because the Raiders weren't likely to pull off that many points against the Bucs defense, but I was at least glued to my set until the two minute warning.

(Full Disclosure: I had money on the Raiders)

The game that is widely regarded as the worst super bowl ever played was SB V (I mean Super Bowl 5!), and I'm going to have to agree with that one. Game winning field goal or not, that game was filled with ineptitude.

The Bills-Cowboys Super Bowls win co-runner up. Those games totally sucked.

I'm too stupid to figure that out. You have to spell it out for dummies like me.

I second that notion. Steve Young had his way the entire game. That said, I hated the Cowboys blowout of the Bills in Super Bowl XXVIII even more since the Boys had a legit claim as a dynasty.

I'm sure it's been mentioned but the last time the Steelers won the SB, when they played Seattle, it was an awful game. And yes, the Chargers-Niners was horrible to watch as well.

If we limit this to only games we have personally seen live and not on replay, then I'm forced to go with Ravens-Giants from 2000. But I maintain that SB 35 is was a better game than the three I've mentioned above.

Buc's-Raiders. Great back story, but the blowout just killed it for me.

I'd say the only really bad game this decade was in 2001 (Super Bowl XXXV) when the Ravens beat the piss out of the Giants. I mean, it was great to see the Giants get crushed, but it was a beating from the get go.

Superbowl XII Dallas 27 Denver 10
