NOt only that, but there are owners and players on these commitees that come up with and co sign the bone head ideas. Ive notice Belichek is always a suspect whenever a rule change is discussed. He always on board

Yup, whenever stupid new rules come to the NFL, the Pats or Cowboys are usually involved.

Jerry Jones is in favor of playoff expansion.  Is it because he thinks that that's the only way the Cowboys can make it in?  SMH

^^^They might as well make Robert Kraft and Jerry Jones the NFL commissioners, because Roger Goodell has no kahunas, and he's basically just a yes man for them. That trio is ruining the entire league.

I don't see many other cold weather cities getting this opportunity. They are doing it because it's New York.

I dunno about that. It seems like my 'favorite' NFL commissioner has opened Pandora's Box with this Jersey Bowl; All of these other crappy weather cities are showing interest in hosting the Super Bowl. Look no further then the Jersey Reefer Bowl participants.

So far so good. Seahawks!!!!!

[thelakelander]

Should be up by more points.  Those two drives resulting in FGs could come back to bite them.

[thelakelander]

Whoa. Well that gives them some cushion!

[Keith-N-Jax]

Yep, so much for all the Bronco/Manning hype. I know its still a long way to go, but I am having a good time right now

Really don't see either happening. Neither city had anywhere near New York's infrastructure. Denver also has the issue of altitude, Which can affect things more than snow, as there are some players (most 0rominent is Ryan Clark of Pittsburgh) that can't play n Denver because of health reasons.

I hear many people saying this, but it isn't that simple IMO. This how it goes down concerning rules that don't pertain to injury (anti-extra point, Brett Farve OT rule, etc) IMO; Either one of the very powerful NFL owners Jones or Kraft wants to implement a dumb rule; Goodell then instantly agrees with that rule, pushing it HARD for a majority vote; Putting pressure on the owners (many who are fairly young) to pass the dumb rule, instead of staying unbiased like he should.

Okay we'll see. Since NJ was at a balmy 49 degrees, the all mighty and powerful commish might wanna take some chances with other cold/inclement weather cities. It wouldn't surprise me at all, considering his rather unpredictable nature.

I know Gus Bradely is somewhere secretly smiling right now. Thats a heck of a defense he installed at Seattle. I didnt doubt no once they were going to stomp the Broncos.The Seahawks have been my adopted team since they beat the saints in the playoffs a few years back. Thyeve done a great job on that entire team. Just shows that things always get better eventually. Some franchises take longer than others, but they always get there.

Here we go with more of these cold weather cities wanting to host the Super Bowl; Washington, New England, and Chicago. They might as well have all of the 31 cities rotate on an annual basis...The days of the having only the traditional cities host (NOLA, Miami, Tampa etc) are over, mark my words. Hell, a cold weather city will have a better shot than playing in that dump Qualcomm in San Diego. IMO Jax will have another shot at the game, years from now though; Khan isn't building the largest scoreboards for nothing.

I'll be the first to admit until our dowtown changes SIGNIFCANTLY, we might as well not even dream of hosting again. jacksonville is a logistical l nightmare with poor public transportation. The city is TOO spread out, with the only way of getting around being the bus. If everything was located downtown, it would be a different. People that go the superbowl likes everything to be compact in s small distance. That dont like to drive 15-20 minutes at a time to attend events all over the city. Hell I stay here and driving in this place. If we had some commuter rail, street cars, or some other form of transportation to compensate for the fact the city is so spread out, it would be different. As far as hotel room space, We have a ton more that we did ten years ago, but might not be enough. (Does anybody know the number of rooms we have?)
