<![CDATA[Fate Of Super Bowl Loser]]>Here is the fate of the Super Bowl losers for the last 20 years in the year following their Super Bowl lost:

1991 Bills lost the Super Bowl

1992 Bills lost the Super Bowl

1993 Bills went 7-9 no playoffs

1994 Chargers went 9-7 no playoffs

1995 Steelers went 10-6 lost in Division round

1996 Patriots went 10-6 lost in Division round

1997 Packers went 11-5 lost in Wild Card round

1998 Falcons went 5-11 no playoffs

1999 Titans went 13-3 lost in Division round

2000 Giants went 7-9 no playoffs

2001 Rams went 7-9 no playoffs

2002 Raiders went 4-12 no playoffs

2003 Panthers went 7-9 no playoffs

2004 Eagles 6-10 no playoffs

2005 Seahawks 9-7 lost Division round

2006 Bears 7-9 no playoffs

2007 Patriots 11-5 but missed playoffs

2008 Cardinals 10-6 lost Division round

2009 Colts 10-6 lost in Wild card round

2010 Steelers ???

As you can see, since the Bills lost 4 Super Bowls in a row, no Super Bowl losing team has even so much as made a return to a conference title game. Half of them didn't even make the playoffs the following year.

The only teams in history to have won the Super Bowl one year after losing a Super Bowl were the 1972 Dolphins who lost to the Cowboys in 1971, and those same 1971 Cowboys who lost the 1970 Super Bowl to the Colts.

Also, the only other teams in history to return to a Super Bowl after losing one are the 1973-1974 Vikings, the 1986-1987 Broncos, and of course those Bills teams of 90-91-92-93. Of course, these teams all lost in their followup attempts.

There always seems to be a team that pops up and surprises everyone. Except for '07 those team seem to come from the NFC south. I'll say the Brown's were that team in '07 despite missing the playoffs. Hopefully they can be again. It could happen.

Let me get this right. The lock-out ends, camp opens, the season is about to get underway. Fans around the world start to follow their teams a little closer, do some research about their teams and others, check a few sites the may haven't been to in a while look to the past and the future. Generally getting excited about football. While all this is happening you decide " Hey, I'm a steeler fan but it's time for me to go on a Browns forum and act like an A-hole". Truly sad. What a small life you must lead.

2010 = LOSING RECORD

2009 = LOSING RECORD

1997 = NO TEAM, LOL!

1993 = LOSING RECORD

1992 = LOSING RECORD

1991 = LOSING RECORD

1990 = LOSING RECORD

There you have it kids. 21 years, 3 winning season, 2 playoff appearances, both losses to the Steelers. (Oh, and NO TEAM for 3 years! ) The chances are much greater that the Browns will not field a team this year than make it to the playoffs.

Just curious, when did this thread deal at all with the Browns?

I may post 100 basically generic football statistic topics, and of that 100, maybe 2-3 may show some data that isn't on the whole favorable to the Steelers. Yet, in their myopia, it is only these 1 or 2 that Steeler fans get their bowels in a uproar for.

Before last season I posted this very same post, only then it dealt with the defending champion Saints, and the Super Bowl loser Indianapolis Colts.

Were Steeler fans indignant that I listed a post that didn't put the future of the Indianapolis Colts in a favorable light?

What is it about "facts" that gets them all upset?

When I list the facts of the records of various franchises in "Super Bowls" I don't seem to get any negative reaction from them, yet when I list the facts of the total football titles won by various cities since 1920 they want to eat their shorts over the fact that I actually include titles won by defunct Cleveland area teams and all the titles won by the Browns (and all I am actually doing is recreating the list from the likes of pro-football-reference, wikipedia or the hall of fame website.

What can I say other than that putrescence is as putrescence does.

Wow your QB is only 28, uh ours is a bit younger than yours so I guess that makes my statement legit..

I wont compare player for player, thats for geek trolls like you, but I do stand by what I said...

The Steelers are a legit SB contender for the next 5 years, thats your opinion and you know what they say about opinions...

If your franchise QB gets thrown in the slammer for that rape case it might change the fortunes of your team..Maybe him and Ward can be cellies...

Peace

I'm so impressed by your awesome skills, really. Talking trash on a forum dedicated solely to a team is really awesome by the way. I can only imagine how cool you are in real life.

Browns 51

Pitt 0

"The Steelers are old" line is false. The entire offense is young. Franchise QB is 28. 3 best WR's and top 3 RB's are all under 25. The entire O-line is under 30. On defense they have two 1st round picks at DE that are under 25. At LB they have 5 talented players under 26. In the secondary they have 5 guys who will make the roster that are under 27. Sure Ward, Farrior, Smith, and Keisel are old, but all of their replacements are on the roster right now. The Steelers are a Sb contender for the next 5 years at least.

Our goal is to win the division and to do that we have to go through Pittspuke and Baltiwhore...

The Browns are a really young team while the others in the division are realitively old.. Hopefully this will work in our favor once the games begin...

1991 Redskins 9-7 lost Division round

1992 Cowboys repeated as Super Bowl Champs

1993 Cowboys 12-4 lost in the NFC title game

1994 49ers 11-5 lost Division round

1995 Cowboys 10-6 lost Division round

1996 Packers 13-3 lost the Super Bowl

1997 Broncos repeated as Super Bowl Champs

1998 Broncos 6-10 no playoffs

1999 Rams 10-6 lost in Wild Card round

2000 Ravens 10-6 lost in Division round

2001 Patriots 9-7 no playoffs

2002 Buccaneers 7-9 no playoffs

2003 Patriots repeated as Super Bowl Champs

2004 Patriots 10-6 lost Division round

2005 Steelers 8-8 no playoffs

2006 Colts 13-3 lost Divison round

2007 Giants 12-4 lost Division round

2008 Steelers 9-7 no playoffs

2009 Saints 11-5 lost Wild Card round

2010 Packers ???

Three times a Super Bowl Champ repeated. Only once did a Super Bowl champ lose the following Super Bowl. Only once did a Super Bowl Champ lose a Conference title game. Five times a Super Bowl Champ failed to make the playoffs the following year
