	I didn't realize the Indianapolis Colts were in the SB in 1969.

	mannycaves:	Feb 8th, 2010 at 14:58 GMT		5 points
	They were the Baltimore Colts back in '69.

	Probably 2:30 - 3:00 too much. Amazing the # of 1st timers in the 2000s

	this quiz has gotta be rough on Texans, Jaguars, Browns, and Lions fans

	I would put the Super Bowl number instead of the year the Super Bowl was played. That way it becomes clear what you mean because although it is the year the Super Bowl is played, they consider the Super Bowl this year to be the 2009 Super Bowl not the 2010 Super Bowl.

	I'd put the names as they were, not as they are

	commprof:	Feb 8th, 2010 at 19:59 GMT		0 points
	I agree with putting the Super Bowl number rather than year.

	TheReaver88:	Feb 8th, 2010 at 20:42 GMT		2 points
	Still a few more to see. Go Lions, Browns, Texans and Jaguars!!!!

	need less time

	Alasdair_Wilkins:	Feb 9th, 2010 at 01:17 GMT		2 points
	I appreciate all the feedback. If I could address the critiques: 1. If there was less time given, what do people think it should be? Is three minutes or four minutes preferable? I would still like more casual NFL fans to have a shot at completing this. 2. Regarding the year issue, I think this a problem with most SB-related quizzes. It's really just my personal preference to go with the year in which the game itself occurred rather than the year of the season. 3. The issue of what to do with the two teams that relocated since they first made the Super Bowl was my big problem with this quiz. I'm not sure if there is an elegant solution, although I made it so that you can enter either the current or former franchise locations. I imagine this would be a much, much bigger problem if I made similar quizzes for other sports with even more frequent relocation. How would people feel about some sort of parenthetical note in the answer. Ex (not in the quiz): "Tennessee Titans (Houston Oilers)". Would that be an improvement?

	And...I've made a couple tweaks to address some of the feedback. Thanks again!

	Laura :	Feb 9th, 2010 at 03:58 GMT		2 points
	Could you accept Oilers for Titans?

	Alasdair_Wilkins:	Feb 9th, 2010 at 04:42 GMT		1 point
	@Laura - I'm not sure if that makes sense considering the franchise made the Super Bowl as the Tennessee Titans. I cited them in my example above because I didn't want to spoil any answers from the quiz, but I wasn't seriously suggesting they should be included. If I did that, I'm not sure where you could reasonably draw the line. The St. Louis Cardinals? The LA Raiders? And I don't even want to open the whole Browns/Ravens can of worms. All of which is my unnecessarily long-winded way of saying that, on balance, I think I can only accept the Titans, unless someone has a really compelling argument for the Oilers as an acceptable alternative.
