Something I found interesting

Whoever wins the AFC Championship this weekend will have the opportunity to be the first ever 5 time Super Bowl loser.

If it's the Patriots, it will be their first time attempting to avoid Super Bowl loss number 5. For the Broncos, it will be their third time attempting to avoid Super Bowl loss number 5.

The Bills and the Vikings are the other 4 time Super Bowl losers.

crikey

good find

That is interesting.

And history will focus on the 5 losses, not on the fact that they got there in the first place.

I blame ESPN for brainwashing a nation.

the Jedi mind trick only works on those with limited brain power

 

[ram29jackson]

as an owner, I'd rather have 5 losses than never getting there.


another bizarre stat...every Buffalo Super Bowl loss was to teams from the same division

Oh yeah, I'd much rather go to the Super Bowl and lose than not even get there.

Of course, what I'd really like most to win.

And you're right about the Bills, funny I'd never even realized that before.

 

[packerzrule]

which shows you how strong the NFC East was once

No jedi mind trick. You keep repeating stupid logic or falsehoods enough and the masses take it for fact.

Take the Tea Party for example.

Yeah, winning percentage in championships is way over-valued, especially in the NBA (MJ was 6 - 0, so if you lose in the Finals it somehow becomes a negative on your resume).

Losses in championships are great accomplishments because you are one of the best 2 teams that year... it is really only a negative thing when you fail to couple it with at least 1 championship victory (Jazz, Bills)

agreed that if YOU keep repeating stupid logic or falsehoods, you will soon believe it. But you have a choice of discerning what you read and hear from the media. If you choose to believe, that is on you and only you

Well if you've lost that many, you've at least had the opportunity to win that many. Take the good with the bad.

for owners more games simply mean more revenue , be it tickets or merch. That's always a positive

Exactly.

I am referring to the idiot masses, not myself personally. I would venture a guess that 60% of the population would be classified as mentally handicapped if everyone took an IQ test



I am sure you have seen plenty of examples of this on here and back on the CBS boards over the years.

The Pats have only lost three SBs .If they make it and lose it will be 4. Correct on the Broncos.

Did you just start watching football in the 90s? The Pats lost the Super Bowl following the 2011, 2007, 1996, and 1985 season. That's 4.

What does the Tea Party have to do with this?

...or not. I have conflicting resources. It looks like the OP as correct and that NFL.com has it listed wrong.

No ,but thanks for asking. I was on NFL.com a few days ago. They have that stat wrong on the website so I decided to verify my post. I was incorrect.

If you can't trust the NFL to get it right, who can you trust?
