Losing in the SB is way worse, IMHO.
You have the two weeks of endless hype which I never enjoy because I want it to be game time. The confetti on the other team. The huge spectacle and audience for the SB. As well as that, you have the feelings of falling at the final hurdle.
If you know you are gonna lose one of the two, the AFCCG is the one to lose.
Now, I'm not convinced the Donks get crushed in a fortnight like some. But the pressure on Manning is huge and if he chokes off another SB, it'll be remembered in a way it never would've if he'd lost last night.
