    Last year was depressing to watch. This year, not so much because neither the Giants nor the Patriots are in the Super Bowl

    the most depressed I was watching the Super Bowl was Packers Steelers...we were so close, I simply could not get that out of my head watching the game.

    Nope, the Jets didn't deserve to be in the playoffs this past season and I'm happy that the Pats are gone, should be a good game!!

    **** you New England!!!

    It sucks quite a bit because these two teams have the same philosophies as the Jets; they just execute them SO MUCH better than the Jets do. But the Giants-Pats Superbowls were definitely worse.

    Packers-Steelers and Broncos-Falcons were easily the two most depressing superbowls for me to watch. We were so close both years.

    no patriots, no steelers, no giants - I am happy enough with this SB.

    I like the niners and don't mind the Ravens so I am happy enough regardless of who wins.

    I also do not believe that the Jets will ever win a SB in my lifetime, in fact having followed the Jets not for nearly 30 years, its probably more likely than not that they wont win a SB before I shuffle off this mortal coil.

    Haven't watched the Super Bowl since the Colts and Bears. Finally a year I don't hate both teams. I want ray to get a ring I refuse to root for Flacco the hear how he's elite

    I'm not this year frankly because we all had to figure by the mid-point of the season that we were not a SB caliber team.

    Giants/Pats last year I was. 2009 and 2010? I was borderline not going to even bother watching.

    THIS exactly.

    I saw this thread initially and thought it was stupid, because the Super Bowl is such an awesome event...but my friend's team is in it, and all my other friends teams are good teams with bright futures...all of my friends teams made the playoffs..then there is me...with my pathetic joke of an organization I for some reason root for.

    So yeah it is rather depressing.

    To the OP.

    Yeah, that's how I've been feeling for the last decade. These same teams, who make it every so often, make it look kind of easy. But for some reason, the Jets make it seem like it's impossible.

    I don't know, but maybe Namath sold his soul to the devil, and the one stipulation he would have to agree on is never seeing the Jets win a championship again in his lifetime.

    I was kind of forced to break my boycott of the Super Bowl until the Jets made it because I was at a Super Bowl party. That said this is the least depressed I've been during the Super Bowl for a while. This Super Bowl gives me hope. These are primarily defense centered teams with QB that are not "elite". I was starting to think that it was impossible to win the Super Bowl if your QB was not named Brady, Manning, Rogers, Brees or Roethlisberger.

    Side note: I think we found another trade partner for one of our starting CBs. The 49ers Culliver is terrible.

    Not so much as in past years. Based on our team, I don't see any kind of SB appearance for years.

    Not when we were up 10-0 in Denver all those years ago....yeah, that SB was tough to watch since I know we would've beaten the Falcons.

    Anybody else depressed by the Super Bowl

    I always watch the Super Bowl cause I am Jets fan first football fan second, but just once I would love to know what it feels like to have a dog in the fight, but until then I will always watch the game

    The two AFL teams that won the Super Bowl haven't been back since. Jets and Chiefs.

    Joe Flacco played as well as you can ask for any QB. Same for Kaepernick. They may not be "elite", but they played like it in the playoffs. Each teams have a TON of weapons of offense as well- Boldin, Jones, Smith, Rice, Pierce, Pitta, Crabtree, Gore, James, Davis and Walker. I would take any of them over what we currently have at that position. They also have or had outstanding OLine play. The way I see it- if you want to compete for a SB you have to surround your QB with a ton of talent.
