not self-ownage, just clarifying that each team has the same number of players on the bench.

Yea, cuz Kareem Brown is as good as NFC's PB team's backup DE, Trent Cole.

Tell me one corner who can shut down Moss. I say that factor alone gives the Pats the edge. I do think NFC would win bc with the all star D line they would get enough pressure to disrupt Brady. Let us remember Dallas gave Brady fits til the 2nd half

Since fatigue is such a factor, why dont teams routinely use a "line change" in the 4th quarter, cause surely a 2nd string line with 100% stamina and energy is better than the 1st string line running on empty. right??

Yeah, the fact that nobody shut down Moss won the Vikings tons of Superbowls.

i think everyone in this thread vastly underestimates how important it is to have a team and not just a collection of random players.

[/ QUOTE ]
Yeah, this is key imo. If the premise is a perfectly gelled NFC team, coached by a brilliant coach over a long period of time, obviously the NFC team would be favored. In a realistic setting, the Pats would probably blow the NFC team off the field. Sad as that is.

[/ QUOTE ]

Come on, seriously? Pats were gelled and ready to demolish people by week 1 (and Brady was off and running by like game 3 of the preseason) so I think its pretty reasonable that a much more talented, much deeper team could make up for this even faster.

[/ QUOTE ]
Well, I'm not an expert for sure, but consider the two following facts:

1) The additions to the Pats, while certainly making an impact, weren't more than a 10% change to their starting roster (correct me if I'm way off here)

2) They had, what, 4-5 months, in the preseason to gel the team, work out plays, and teach the players the system? If you'd be telling me that the NFC team would have the same period of time before the match I might be willing to give them the edge.
