Ravens and Niners have more than proved you do not need a Manning brother or Brees to win.

Seriously, Flacco and Alex Smith? Championship game. It is like a bad joke on the NFL marketers, who have been blowing smoke up certain high powered QBs backsides for the past few years.
Again, I get what both you and AVG are saying. However, two points:

(1) I never claimed that football was a star-oriented game, ie NBA basketball. OF course it is a team game. It is only that I find low-scoring affairs to be dull unless my team is involved in said affair. Frankly, I feel the same way about a no-hitter.

(2) Both of your teams still have 60 minutes of football to play before you are faced with the prospect of a Superbowl appearance. Cross the bridge when you get there.

AVG, in terms of putting the backups in, I am never in favor of this. So long as the other team is fielding players, it is your job to play all four quarters. I know why teams do it (namely saving key players from potential injuries), but it always tastes bad to me.
