The Gipper Posted February 9, 2016 Report Share Posted February 9, 2016 Here has been the fate of the Losers of the Super Bowl since it began: Year.....SB Loser.....Following year result 1966 Chiefs...No Playoffs 1967 Raiders...Lost AFL title game 1968 Colts...No Playoffs 1969 Vikings...Lost in Div. round 1970 Cowboys....Won the Super Bowl!! 1971 Dolphins.....Won the Super Bowl!! 1972 Redskins....Lost in Div. round 1973 Vikings....Lost the Super Bowl 1974 Vikings....Lost in Div. round 1975 Cowboys....Lost in Div. round 1976 Vikings....Lost in NFC conf. Champ. game 1977 Broncos....Lost in Div. round 1978 Cowboys ...Lost in Div. round 1979 Rams.....Lost in Wild Card round 1980 Eagles....Lost WC round 1981 Bengals....Lost WC round 1982 Dolphins....Lost in Div. round 1983 Redskins....Lost in Div. round 1984 Dolphins....Lost AFC Conf title game 1985 Patriots....Lost in Div. round 1986 Broncos....Lost the Super Bowl 1987 Broncos....NO Playoffs 1988 Bengals....NO Playoffs 1989 Broncos...NO playoffs went 5-11 1990 Bills.....Lost the Super Bowl 1991 Bills.....Lost the Super Bowl 1992 Bills.....Lost the Super Bowl 1993 Bills....NO Playoffs 1994 Chargers....Lost in WC round 1995 Steelers.....Lost in Div. round 1996 Patriots....Lost in Div. round 1997 Packers....Lost in WC round 1998 Falcons....NO Playoffs went 5-11 1999 Titans....Lost in Div. round 2000 Giants....NO Playoffs 2001 Rams....NO Playoffs 2002 Raiders...NO Playoffs 2003 Panthers...NO Playoffs 2004 Eagles .....NO Playoffs 2005 Seahawks....Lost Div. round 2006 Bears....NO Playoffs 2007 Patriots....NO Playoffs 2008 Cardinals...Lost Div. round 2009 Colts...Lost in WC round 2010 Steelers....Lost in WC round 2011 Patriots....Lost Conf. Championship game 2012 49ers.....Lost Conf. Championship game 2013 Broncos...Lost in Div. Round 2014 Seahawks...Lost in Div. Round 2015 Panthers....????? Cumulative results: A. Only 2 teams lost a SB but came back to win it the next year: 1970 Cowboys/1971 Dolphins. So, that feat hasn't happened in 45 years B. Five SB losers came back to lose again the next year. Three times this was the 1990s Bills. The others were the 86 Broncos, and the 1973 Vikings. C. 5 teams came back to lose in their Conference title game...including recent Pats/49ers teams. D. 16 teams lost in the Divisional round games the following year. E. 7 teams lost in the Wild Card round F. 14 teams did not make the playoffs at all the following year. Half of those since 2000. It appears that the Super Bowl loss hangover is much more astute in more recent years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And the pursuit of big money through Free Agency.....players on SB teams seem to get elevated and their value exaggerated more than ever....and the big $$$, coupled with less loyalty(by teams & players), means they move to the big bucks and their teams cant keep and pay them all....so, adios.... Old school championship teams kept their players year after year.....doesnt happen any more....times a changin... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gumby73 Posted February 9, 2016 Report Share Posted February 9, 2016 Sounds in Carolina sports radio are. Tag or deal on FA Josh Norman & KK Shorts. May cut ties with Jarrett Allen ($$). After the sorry OT performance by Remmers & Blindside Oher, they may cut some old vets to make a move for OT FA M. Schwartz. The Analytics boys need to move the pen..

Bottom line: Carolina's chances of going back to the Super Bowl next year come out to about 10-15%. Chances of winning about 4%.....or probably less.

Norman will get re-signed for sure and Allen is gone, no way the Panthers pay him 8.5 mil but maybe he will restructure. Shorts is a good candidate for the franchise tag, he had a great Super Bowl but hasn't risen to elite status yet. Their top pick has to be OL and CB in that order.

Clevfan4life Posted February 10, 2016 Report Share Posted February 10, 2016 Allen will restructure. He knows this is his last stop. Staying on this team at least he has the potential to be a part of an historically good defense. Bottom line is they need to keep the entire defense. Offensively it's hard to say. Yeah the OL got blitzed by Denver but they handled business all year. Still if they can upgrade then upgrade. The only real area of need I see on the panthers team is at WR. They need to get someone that truly scares defense's. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pumpkin Eater Posted February 11, 2016 Report Share Posted February 11, 2016 They need ol and should probably look for Stewart's replacement. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Running back shouldn't be a problem for basically any team, given how easy it seems to be to pick up scrubs in free agency or the end of the draft, *if* your scheme and coaching is good.
