Which "alternate Super Bowl" of the 2010s would you have found most interesting?

2017 - (3) Jacksonville Jaguars vs (2) Minnesota Vikings

Maybe biased.

Not biased on my end. This would have been very interesting for the futures of Bortles and Keenum.

Have you seen Brees in his last 2 playoff games? Gtfo with that non sense. They had their chances and were spotted a 13 point lead in the first. Hell nah. If they were so “head and shoulders above everyone” as a Vikings fan said! They should have mopped the floor. Tired of hearing that false bs narrative and no cap. 

Still a better QB than Goff is,

Think 2018 is an obvious one because of how awful the real game was and how close it was to being the other two teams in there.

Also it is up there for changing things. No stupid pass interference reviews, Saints at least finally do something this decade of note...even if they do lose. Which maybe means Brees hangs it up finally.
Andy could be going for his 2nd (HC) ring this year...which starts to make up for the other 20 years of failing to get it done.

From what I see, it’s not good to be a #2 seed.

The 2015 Cardinals had one of the best offenses historically.  Watching them play the Patriots would have been pretty interesting.

Except, Mathieu and Palmer both got horribly injured in garbage time after destroying the Eagles.  So even if they made it past the Panthers it would have sucked.

Mathieu tore his ACL and out for the season.

Palmer messed up one of his fingers (I think index) on his throwing hand, he was not the same after that.  He played through it, but you can just see that it was game over for the Cards after that game.

Chiefs/Saints would have been good too.

My vote is for Bizarro Super Bowl LII. One of those teams would win their first.

2015-Patriots vs. Panthers (Pats would have beat either team)

2014-Patriots vs. Packers

2011-Patriots vs. 49ers

Nah Panthers would take Patriots in 2015. Refs were playing storymode so Peyton could get his  retirement trophy.

Last year and 2011 were the only ones where both losers didn’t seem completely outmatched  in their championship games. 

2015 ARI got killed by CAR, but DEN beat NE 20-18 and had to prevent a 2-point convert to win the game.  Now, if you mean both games had to be close, OK, but there are a fair # of years where at the very least, it could have easily been different teams on 1 side.

Take the losing conference finalists of the last 10 years and imagine they won instead - we're left with totally different Super Bowls. Which would you have been most excited to see?

Falcons-Patriots in 2012 would have been very interesting. I think the Falcons that year could have beaten the Pats of that year. Plus Tony G would have been able to go out having at least going to a Super Bowl.

Setting the bar pretty low there aren't you?

I'm not sure the Saints would've lost that game.  The Chiefs defense was pretty horrid so the Saints offense would've been able to put up points pretty easily and the Saints defense was actually pretty good which might've been able to get enough stops to eek out a high scoring game.

Obviously 2011. Would have loved to see a Harbaugh vs Harbuagh Super Bowl.

[Uncle Buck]

I'm obviously biased, but I would have loved seeing Jacksonville vs. Minnesota in 2017.  After all the heartache the Vikings have put their fans through, it would have been incredible redemption for them to win their first Super Bowl in front of their own fans in U.S. Bank Stadium right in Minneapolis.

Would the alternate SB have better ratings than the Probowl???
