13 Teams have not won a Superbowl:
No, but they are the only team that was in existence when the Super Bowls began that has never even played in a Super Bowl. The NFL may argue that Cleveland belongs in that group because the franchise's history stayed in Cleveland when the team moved to Baltimore, but I don't buy it. The original Cleveland Browns have won 2 Super Bowls as the Baltimore Ravens. The current Cleveland Browns are an expansion franchise. And even so, there was a period of a few years when the franchise didn't exist after Modell sneaked off to Baltimore.Patrick_S said:
Had to look it up. The Bengals were founded in 1968 so they weren't around when Super Bowl one was played. the other two teams were founded in the 1960s prior to the first Super Bowl.
I agree.Scott Merryfield said:
I was a bit nervous early in the game. It took Seattle a while to get into the groove. There is still work to be done there, but I think it will be a great season if everyone stays healthy. I loved how they found so many different ways to use Percy H!Sam Posten said:
It's amazing how bad the franchise has been, and all under a single ownership of William Clay Ford, Sr., who passed away this off season. I'm 52 years old and have seen them win only one playoff game! Luckily, I was also raised as a Steelers fan, as my mother is from western PA and my dad went to school there briefly. I was a fan before they ever won anything.Walter Kittel said:
Denver fan (since 1973) here....looking at some of the blogs, Denver Post, etc, it appears the Broncos want to establish their running game and use it to eat clock, etc if they get a big lead. Last night, that didn't work so well as the running game was sporadic at best and going heavy on the run really takes Peyton out of this rhythm. Then, when the Colt's started their comeback, he and the receivers were totally out of sync and couldn't get back in the groove.Scott Merryfield said:A few observations from yesterday:
1. Denver's offense looked in mid-season form in the first half last night. I didn't watch the 2nd half, so not sure how the Colts got the score close.
2. How in the world do the Bears lose at home to the Bills?
3. New England should be very concerned about their offensive line. The Dolphins were able to pressure Brady all game with just a four man rush.
4. The Steelers came close to blowing a 24 point lead to the Browns!
5. The Cowboys are bad. What did they expect, with both coordinators being former Lions coaches?
Yep....and in today's NFL, a 24 point lead is not safe. Teams have to keep scoring, but old-school coaches are afraid of running up the score. That kind of thinking gets you beat in today's game. Just ask Andy Reid in the playoffs against Luck last year.schan1269 said:
Agreed. The NFL was incredibly tone deaf on this matter. The idea that someone would get a two game suspension for an assault, while substance abuse could net much stronger penalties is appallingly out of balance.
Anyone who thinks the NFL hadn't seen either this video or one similar to it before today has their head in the sand. There is more backpedaling going on with the Ravens and the NFL than by a Pro Bowl cornerback right now. The league and team knew exactly what Rice did, knocking her unconscious. Did they think he delivered a love tap?Sam Posten said:
You know, I thought of GB and Miami while I was typing that, and they somehow slipped my mind by the time I hit Post. Stupid ADD. . .Scott Merryfield said:Green Bay, Miami, and San Francisco also repeated.
In case anyone was wondering, the Lions never repeated.
There are 16 games in the regular season, not four. :pPatrick_S said:
