Joe Namath's Super Bowl Prediction

[GBMelBlount]

When you think you're better than the other guy, it results in preparation where you might be lacking in some intensity and not know it and it takes that edge away.

In games that I was a part of when we had a good team and you play, say a last-place team, I was convinced the week before that we were ready to take the field. We weren't and we went out there on the field and lost.

I went out in one of those games, convinced I was ready, and went out there and threw five interceptions. My play showed a lack of urgency and you can't fool it mentally or physically if you're lacking that edge.

If the Giants are looking back to their playoff wins or their win at New England earlier this year or even that Super Bowl win a few years ago over the Patriots, then they're going to lack the right approach to win this game.

This is the definition of the 2012 Steelers imo.

I realize we technically won most of the games we should have but that is because we were so incredibly talented imo.

By the way, his view of how these teams are approaching the Suber Bowl mentally, does make sense to me.

Still pulling for the G-men though...

I recently watched a special on Joe Namath.

Amazing story.

He was one hell of an athlete...and yes, a bit of a "lush." :alcohol:

All kidding aside, I've always admired Joe Namath. He is one of those types of people that arrogance actually works for, and that's rare. He was a conceited ass, he made no bones about it, but you like him anyway. :chuckle:

Agreed. I think the real "greats" in any sport tend to have that supreme confidence in their abilities that borders on "arrogance."

I like the swagger if it is legit.

Like Chad Ocho Cinco...:lol:

The Steelers were a very average team when Roethlisberger and Woodley were injured.

No team can win the super bowl when your two highest paid players on your team are injured.

I agree 100% that Roethlisbergers health was the most important single factor.

However that does not mean that a degree of urgency / intensity was not missing.

Joe is a flake.

Joe is also from the Pittsburgh area!

Worse case scenario is that the jets get worried about all this Miami talk. And pull him yo NY. That will truly end his career
