It's been about three years since I started NFLCzar.com and I have been yet to use it as a full blog. Well, the moment when I use it as an NFL blog has come! I don't know how many NFL blog posts I'll do throughout the year, but at an absolute minimum, I'll be using this blog to preview and recap each and every Super Bowl and possibly sprinkle in some other NFL coverage throughout the year. I also intend to share my thoughts on Super Bowl history like greatest performances, best games, that sort of thing.
So, I hope that you as a reader will have fun reading my thoughts on the Super Bowl each year and whatever other NFL thoughts come to my mind.
On that note, I will quickly provide an update for those that don't know where we are in the NFL season. The NFL just finished their Wild Card round with the Divisional round coming up next. Below are the scores from this past wild card weekend:
49ers 41 Seahawks 23. Jaguars 31 Chargers 30. Bills 34 Dolphins 31. Giants 31 Vikings 34. Bengals 24 Ravens 17. Cowboys 31 Buccaneers 14.
Looking ahead to the Divisional round, below are the matchups: Jaguars@Chiefs (Saturday-4:30 PM ET on NBC). Giants@Eagles (Saturday-8:15 PM PT on FOX). Bengals@Bills (Sunday-3:00 PM ET on CBS). Cowboys@49ers (Sunday-6:30 PM ET on FOX).
My favorite team is the Minnesota Vikings and they are out. Not a huge surprise since they always find a way to disappoint. But, the Vikings of the AFC, Buffalo Bills, are still in it. History tells us they'll find a way to disappoint as well, but so far they are still alive.
Like the Vikings, the Bills are 0-4 in the Super Bowl, but they did so in four straight years back in the early 1990s, which is pretty remarkable. Remarkable that they made four straight Super Bowls (no other team has ever done that) and perhaps even more remarkable that they lost all four.
So I guess if there is a Super Bowl I am rooting for, it would be 49ers/Bills. 49ers because I'm from the Bay Area and Bills because I think it would be cool to see them get back to the Super Bowl again. As for who I would root for, I would honestly be happy with either outcome, but given that they've never won it before, I would probably lean towards the Bills. They're a franchise that has been through a lot and it would be nice for them to finally no longer look back on that Scott Norwood kick as the closest they've been to Super Bowl glory.
Hopefully we'll see that Super Bowl happen next month and regardless of who is playing, you can bet on my previewing and recapping the game. I'm looking forward to seeing how this goes!
