To me, personally, and this isn't revisionist history, I expected Seattle to shut them down. Denver's strength was passing the ball, and Seattle's strength was stopping that. They had big, strong, physical corners and I'm of the mind that a great defense will always stop a great offense. Combine that with Manning's arm strength not being superb (takes a little longer for the passes to get there) I wasn't surprised they shut them down. But only 1 TD I guess was a little surprising. I was thinking Denver would score something like 17
@@B1gZ10 That Broncos Offense was stacked they had Prime Manning, Welker, D.T, Decker, Julius Thomas and an incredible offensive line, however Seattle's defense was equally stacked with Sherman, Earl, Chancellor, Browner, Maxwell, Wagner, Bennett, Mebane, Avril etc.
What I notice is that teams with amazing defenses like the Seahawks did that year are known for obliterating their Super Bowl opponents (the 85 Bears, 2000 Ravens, 02 Bucs, 13 Seahawks and 20 Bucs all demolished their opponents) and were never heard from again.
They had some really good teams in those years. In retrospect though, they probably would’ve had a better shot if Fran Tarkenton was on their team the entire stretch of 1969-1976. The defense, while still excellent in 73, 74, and 76, was otherworldly in 1969, 1970 and 1971. And two of those three years the Vikings’ quarterback play was pretty bad (Kapp in 69 was decent, but Tarkenton would’ve been he a huge upgrade over even the year he had).

The 2006 chargers would be the best on this list with Michael Turner and Lorenzo Neal opening wholes and Marcus McNeil has the best year for a rookie offensive lineman ever and their defense was built to beat the patriots with jammer cromartie Florence and Luis Castillo and Jamal Williams were a force!
The 2009 Colts at #25 is a disgrace. You said it yourself - they were a personnel decision away from 16-0. The first two Super Bowl teams coming from pure AFL rosters are probably horrendously overrated. Although the AFL was catching up, and the starting teams turned out to be less of a challenge to the Packers than hoped and depth was almost certainly lacking compared to NFL squads.
The 2009 Colts lost the Super Bowl by two touchdowns and barely beat a mediocre Patriots team at home. They had a weak schedule and weren't even Top 5 in the league on offense or defense. #25 is about right
I still remember being at the last game of the regular season. Giants vs. Patriots. What sticks out to me the most is when a Patriots fan said to me "See you guys in the Super Bowl" when the game was over.
2014 hawks would’ve beaten them if we’d won in 2014 or not traded for jimmy graham bc our o line wouldn’t be anywhere near as bad with unger still there
As a Pats fan the 2016 Falcons should be higher. Their offense was lethal throughout the season, and their defense improved in the playoffs. Going into the super bowl I knew not to be fooled by their 11-5 record, and it took something truly historic to beat them. Great team
Should be higher than who? Yeah they were a great team but they weren't historic or anything. Just FYI that as a Pats fan you have a vested interest in them being perceived as a better team then they were. No Super Bowl winning team wants to think they got their victory by beating a chump.
There defense did improve in the playoffs, but in the regular season it ranked 27th. That said because of how well the offense played, I’d say in the middle for them, probably a few spots lower than the 98 squad.
@@legion2590Moreover if they beat a chump, they’d want it to be a much more substantial victory than the Patriots in that game. I’m sure 49ers fans won’t have issue ranking the 94 Chargers low because they won by four scores.
The 2002 Raiders at #37 is batshit crazy. You serious? Should be at least top 15. #1 Offense. #10 Defense. MVP at QB. Rice and Brown on the same team. That team was LOADED. If they play any other NFC playoff team they win that Super Bowl.
@@bizzles44that logic is dumb ass hell cause 08-09 cardinals sb run eagles smacked them 48-20 in the regular season and obv lost nfc champ game just cause you beat a team once doesn’t mean it’s a free win any given Sunday
Excellent perspective on that very challenging and necessarily subjective ranking. The top 2 (Belichick's Patriots and Don Shula's Colts) should surprise no one. Both of those teams were juggernauts in their eras. Both of those Super Bowl outcomes were gigantic upsets, and legendary games. Great stuff.
'85 Patriots are super underrated and >the '97 Patriots. The league was super top heavy in '85 and they beat 3 excellent teams on the road. Just ran into a buzzsaw in the SB
You mean 96? But point taken. 96 is at least an AFC Championship Game team either way, but they did play an expansion team in the conference championship game looking back at it.
The '85 Patriots live with a bad irony. They are remembered pretty much only for the beating they took in SB-20. But what gets lost is that they became the first team to win a Conference Championship by winning 3 road playoff games. They were the only team to do that under the 5-team / 3-round playoff system the NFL had from 1978 to 1989, and it wasn't archived again regardless of the playoff format until the 2005 Steelers.
Good stuff, I would personally put the '78 Cowboys somewhere around 3 or 4 because in my opinion you need to take into consideration the final score of the Super Bowl loss, and the team that they lost to, which was Pittsburgh's best team ever. Also, the Cowboys were defending Super Bowl champions with many HOFer's, not just pro bowlers.
They played a phenomenal regular season, especially for a team that got blown out like they did in the playoffs. Best turnover differential ever I believe, and to this day still the highest scoring team that ran the ball more than they threw it. Also hot take: I’d have given Riggins the MVP instead of Theismann.
@@fortynights1513I thought that was the year of their kicker won the MVP. When I first Start watching the video, We all are who number one would be. I was shocked it was not 1983 Redskins as #2. There is still regency bias as a lot of younger fans. Have no clue about that season. It's also kinda funny the next year the 84 Dolphins had another incredible offensive season. Back to back seasons of record setting years that stood for a long time
@@GR-bn3xj82 was the year Mark Moseley won the MVP. In 83, the Skins had an amazing season statistically and went to the Super Bowl, but lost it badly. In the case of Washington and Miami, both indeed set records with their offenses in 1983 and 1984 and lost the Super Bowl in a game that wasn’t too close. I’d say Miami was a tad better though because their defense ranked seventh vs eleventh for Washington.
It was just one of those days. Raiders were so good two. Classic regular matchup they had. Washington’s wideouts were stifled by Haynes and Hayes. They were a ball control team who fell behind quickly.
Their offense was an historical good one. I was really surprised they were not higher. I'm not sure how they came up with this list. The number one team wasn't hard to figure out. As an older n f l fan, I was around for most of the super bowls, I have 1983 Redskins as #2. Once you get past those two teams I think it starts getting kinda difficult. I can't get mad that the 1984 Dolphins were #8 but I still think that team should have been higher personally. For those who were around, That season is still pretty magical. But to your point, The falcons should have been higher
@@GR-bn3xjThat Falcons team had a 27th ranked defense though. They played a couple good playoff games, but weren’t that great on that end outside of that.
@fortynights1513 The defense wasn't great but the offense made up for it in my opinion. This is all very subjective, And it's hard to figure out how much a great offense can make up for a bad defense. There's also no criteria, As to what makes a team high on this list.
I would like to know what goes in to the ranking tbh. Sometimes it seems like you're ranking teams lower by severity of loss (02 Raiders, 00 Giants, 85 Pats) but as your discussion suggests some of those teams were excellent in the regular season, suggesting they just had a bad day.
I agree. That 2000 New York Giants team was solid in my eyes. Good offence, good defence and hammering highly fancied Minnesota Vikings in NFC Championship 41-0.
Falcons fan I would have given number 1 to the Falcons team 2016-2017 team only team to lose a Superbowl up by 25 points with 17 minutes left they made history alright best runner up ever 😂
It's amazing that in the 1983 SB, the Raiders had had a season wherein they had led the league in lost-turnovers while the Redskins had led the league in turnovers-won.....in the same season!
As a Patriots fan I’ll never consider that season a failure and I’ll always respect them for having the balls to go for it in the first place. There’s never going to be a team that gets to a super bowl undefeated ever again. The nfl is literally rigged for competitive balance so something like that cannot happen. They also did surpass the 72 dolphins at 18-0 having to play more games against far tougher competition. It’s not like the giants blew them out it took a miracle for them to loose and the ball just didn’t bounce their way. Teams win the super bowl every year and I always believe If you have a chance to do something that’s never been done then go for it. Ultimate it’s a foot note since the Patriots had another dynasty in the 2010s anyway
how heartwarming...still lost though. Until another team breaks that curse to go undefeated in the future, your 07 Patriots will have to endure it for eternity
84 Dolphins could be above the 83 Skins; both teams had the highest scoring offense up to their respective seasons, and the Dolphins had the better defense I’d say.
With all due respect it always drives me a bit crazy when everyone says that the 1999 Titans came within one yard of winning SB 34. That TD would have TIED the score, not won it with the touchdown plus extra point. I believe the two point conversion was already in use then but I would think Coach Fisher would have gone for overtime.
As the Chiefs fan, the 2020 team was arguably the best we’ve ever had. Outside of the Super Bowl, our starters, went 16-1. Even though we had one really bad game in which we are riddled with injuries, we had beat every team that season that had a win on us. Especially considering that we were the defending Super Bowl champions that team was better than the vast majority of teams ahead. Idk how you could justify them being that low
I didn't grow up cheering for them (not much to cheer for honestly) but I moved to Atlanta in my early 20s and stayed for two decades.... Heartbreaking doesn't begin to describe it. Atlanta is one of the most snakebit cities in the country when it comes to sports championships.
The 2006 Bears could’ve won it all if they had a real quarterback and didn’t have to fight the rain. Peyton Manning would’ve had to wait longer to win a Super Bowl.
I’ve seen every SB since the Jets upset the Colts in the 3rd game. Usually there’s a bias to more recent events on lists like this, but here it’s the other way around. Putting aside that teams are bigger, faster, smarter as time goes by, and rating them relative to their time it’s hard to imagine that most teams from the 60’s and 70’s were not as balanced to be competitive on both sides of the ball. Again that’s judging them for their time. For example, the 1970 Colts we’re old, had to get hot to make the playoffs, Unitas is over the hill, no breakaway threat at RB and WR, except Roy Jefferson, Don McCafferty is the coach who may worse than Ray Malavasi (1979 Rams) and even then the players were running the team. And they were the WINNERS beating the lackluster Cowboys with Craig Morton at quarterback. 1980 Eagles, 1969 Vikings, and 1966 Chiefs. Half built teams that should be recognized for getting there, but not not better than teams more properly constructed later on. This includes my 1972 Washington Redskins
Pittsburgh 2010 squad should be higher, people don’t realize that defence completely changed all the safety initiatives that are in the current game today
@@danevertt3210 I’m not upset 😭😂😂😂😂 & it’s still called ALL PURPOSE yards. Also it’s still impressive for a kicker to be the all time points leader in anything. They have to play for a ton of time & actually be accurate. You can look at the chargers over the last 10 years & see how bad their kickers have been. So for a person like Vinatineri & Morton Anderson to do it for 20 seasons & accurately is crazy impressive. Nothing skewed about it. Also, it’s a trivial video, this is ranking EVERY Super Bowl loser. I love how you give your opinion & think that’s what should stand & how everyone should think, go tell people how to think somewhere else.
How good was John Elway? He carried three teams in the bottom quartile of this list to the Super Bowl in a four year span. And he did it all with Dan Reeves coaching. While being a Hall of Fame worthy coach on merit, his entire game plan was to wait until the fourth quarter by running the ball with such stalwart talents as Sammy Winder and Steve Sewell, and then he would finally turn Elway loose.
One of the best teams that history forgets because they didn’t win it all, and the only time they made the big game was after a 9-7 season in a watered down NFC. From 1973-78, the Rams were the winningest team in the NFL in the regular season, and you could argue the best statistically a couple times too. The NFC West outside of them wasn’t that good in those years, but you don’t go 66-19-1 over six years without beating some good teams. They just had the misfortune of being decent at best at quarterback and consistently losing to teams with Hall of Famers at that position.
The disrespect to the 2020 Chiefs is fucking wild (#39, 9:06). This list clearly factors in regular season dominance (which is how we all knew the 2007 Pats would be #1), but somehow totally ignores it when the defending champs go 14-1 but lose their entire starting o-line on the eve of the big game. And the 2006 Bears crack the top 20? The 2019 Niners and 2018 Rams are ahead of them too? BAD JOB, LOL
The Cowboys that lost the NFL Championship to the first two Super Bowl winning Green Bay Packer teams played them much, much tougher than the highly rated teams you have losing to them, by big scores!
Most of the teams below the 1969 Vikings would have annihilated the 1969 Vikings. The NFL was unbelievably weak that year. That was the first time the AFL was truly the better league.
Pittsburgh was wiping the floor with Dallas 31-17 with 2 minutes left and had their backups playing. Dallas recovered a onside kick and scored 2 garbage touchdowns lol
Falcons blowing such a huge lead... Kyle Shanahan OC...that's up there #2...and all arguable except your criteria is single season and scenario based...and now 2 SB losses blowing double digit leads as a HC.. LOL...Loved Mike Shanahan tho! Bills 4 in a row gotta hurt more than Pats...but we're talking single seasons. Many more
I'd probably lean more heavily on their performance on Super Bowl Sunday than you do on your list. You have to definitely take into consideration how they were all year. Any team can just have a bad day and lose. But seeing a team like the 79/80 Rams go toe to toe with the Steelers and get put so low while those 85 Patriots got absolutely annihilated by that Bears team just seems wrong. And that Carolina Panthers team who went down to the wire against the Tom Brady Patriots shoulda been a little higher.
The playoffs to win the decade 1970’s: 1972 Redskins vs 1978 Cowboys 1980’s: 1983 Redskins vs 1984 Dolphins 1990’s: 1990 Bills vs 1997 Packers 2000’s: 2001 Rams vs 2007 Patriots 2010’s: 2014 Seahawks vs 2017 Patriots 2020’s: 2022 Eagles vs 2023 49ers So Far

The 2009 Colts lost the Super Bowl by two touchdowns and barely beat a mediocre Patriots team at home. They had a weak schedule and weren't even Top 5 in the league on offense or defense.
#25 is about right
They went 14-0, not 16-0.
@@MichaelMurphy-kj3xfthis was about regular season dominance not playoff dominance
I still remember being at the last game of the regular season. Giants vs. Patriots. What sticks out to me the most is when a Patriots fan said to me "See you guys in the Super Bowl" when the game was over.
15 Panthers should be #2. We were DOMINANT all season on offense and defense. Our RT had money on the Broncos in the super bowl though
2014 hawks would’ve beaten them if we’d won in 2014 or not traded for jimmy graham bc our o line wouldn’t be anywhere near as bad with unger still there
The 2007 Giants deserve a higher rank in the W rankings (currently 57/58) for beating the 2007 Patriots (1/58 on the L rankings)
Yeah u right it doesn't add up
It’s based on regular season. Not superbowl performance
2007 Giants being that low & 1986 Giants not being top 10 (they were 21) tells me that some legit Giant hater made that list
@@peteg2715 Facts
@@user-wx3fm4gc2d I didn't know they were judging by just regular season but it makes no sense to not factor in the postseason accomplishments
This is all I have as a Panthers fan 😢 “10th best Super Bowl loser of all time”
If it makes u feel any better I think there at 7👍👍
8*
Having the Bears at #20 is absolutely ludicrous.
Suggestion: MVP from losing teams
That's a good idea.
As a Pats fan the 2016 Falcons should be higher. Their offense was lethal throughout the season, and their defense improved in the playoffs. Going into the super bowl I knew not to be fooled by their 11-5 record, and it took something truly historic to beat them. Great team
Should be higher than who? Yeah they were a great team but they weren't historic or anything. Just FYI that as a Pats fan you have a vested interest in them being perceived as a better team then they were. No Super Bowl winning team wants to think they got their victory by beating a chump.
There defense did improve in the playoffs, but in the regular season it ranked 27th.
That said because of how well the offense played, I’d say in the middle for them, probably a few spots lower than the 98 squad.
@@legion2590Moreover if they beat a chump, they’d want it to be a much more substantial victory than the Patriots in that game.
I’m sure 49ers fans won’t have issue ranking the 94 Chargers low because they won by four scores.
The 2002 Raiders at #37 is batshit crazy. You serious? Should be at least top 15. #1 Offense. #10 Defense. MVP at QB. Rice and Brown on the same team. That team was LOADED. If they play any other NFC playoff team they win that Super Bowl.
Would you have them over Philly if the NFC Championship Game goes the other way?
@@fortynights1513 yes. The year before in 2001 they destroyed the Eagles in Philadelphia
Dude. It's just a made up list for funsies. Relax.
@@bizzles44that logic is dumb ass hell cause 08-09 cardinals sb run eagles smacked them 48-20 in the regular season and obv lost nfc champ game just cause you beat a team once doesn’t mean it’s a free win any given Sunday
They got smoked in the super bowl though
17:56 including Big Vince's INT is a blessing
Good thing my Bucs aren't in this video!
Neither are the Lions, Browns, Texans, Jaguars, Jets, Saints, or Ravens.
Those 3 Super Bowls that the 49ers lost… were epic
Excellent perspective on that very challenging and necessarily subjective ranking. The top 2 (Belichick's Patriots and Don Shula's Colts) should surprise no one. Both of those teams were juggernauts in their eras. Both of those Super Bowl outcomes were gigantic upsets, and legendary games. Great stuff.
Of course the lowest ranked 13 win team is the Titans 🙄
Love these! You should make one for conference championship losers too. You could either do it by conference or entire league
Sounding good, Sean!
'85 Patriots are super underrated and >the '97 Patriots. The league was super top heavy in '85 and they beat 3 excellent teams on the road. Just ran into a buzzsaw in the SB
You mean 96?
But point taken.
96 is at least an AFC Championship Game team either way, but they did play an expansion team in the conference championship game looking back at it.
Yes, I meant 96. Much harder path for '85 team against better opponents. @@fortynights1513
The '85 Patriots live with a bad irony. They are remembered pretty much only for the beating they took in SB-20. But what gets lost is that they became the first team to win a Conference Championship by winning 3 road playoff games. They were the only team to do that under the 5-team / 3-round playoff system the NFL had from 1978 to 1989, and it wasn't archived again regardless of the playoff format until the 2005 Steelers.
1986 Broncos severely underestimated
Good stuff, I would personally put the '78 Cowboys somewhere around 3 or 4 because in my opinion you need to take into consideration the final score of the Super Bowl loss, and the team that they lost to, which was Pittsburgh's best team ever. Also, the Cowboys were defending Super Bowl champions with many HOFer's, not just pro bowlers.
One of the few lists where seeing the Patriots first brings back happy memories.
Joe Gibbs is on record as saying the 1983 Washington team was the best he ever had. Sometimes it's just luck.
They played a phenomenal regular season, especially for a team that got blown out like they did in the playoffs.
Best turnover differential ever I believe, and to this day still the highest scoring team that ran the ball more than they threw it.
Also hot take: I’d have given Riggins the MVP instead of Theismann.
@@fortynights1513I thought that was the year of their kicker won the MVP.
When I first Start watching the video, We all are who number one would be. I was shocked it was not 1983 Redskins as #2. There is still regency bias as a lot of younger fans. Have no clue about that season. It's also kinda funny the next year the 84 Dolphins had another incredible offensive season. Back to back seasons of record setting years that stood for a long time
@@GR-bn3xj82 was the year Mark Moseley won the MVP.
In 83, the Skins had an amazing season statistically and went to the Super Bowl, but lost it badly.
In the case of Washington and Miami, both indeed set records with their offenses in 1983 and 1984 and lost the Super Bowl in a game that wasn’t too close.
I’d say Miami was a tad better though because their defense ranked seventh vs eleventh for Washington.
It was just one of those days. Raiders were so good two. Classic regular matchup they had. Washington’s wideouts were stifled by Haynes and Hayes. They were a ball control team who fell behind quickly.
You got the 2016 Falcons at 43, unacceptable.
💯 💯 💯
I’d say more in the middle
Their offense was an historical good one. I was really surprised they were not higher. I'm not sure how they came up with this list. The number one team wasn't hard to figure out. As an older n f l fan, I was around for most of the super bowls, I have 1983 Redskins as #2. Once you get past those two teams I think it starts getting kinda difficult. I can't get mad that the 1984 Dolphins were #8 but I still think that team should have been higher personally. For those who were around, That season is still pretty magical. But to your point, The falcons should have been higher
@@GR-bn3xjThat Falcons team had a 27th ranked defense though. They played a couple good playoff games, but weren’t that great on that end outside of that.
@fortynights1513 The defense wasn't great but the offense made up for it in my opinion. This is all very subjective, And it's hard to figure out how much a great offense can make up for a bad defense. There's also no criteria, As to what makes a team high on this list.
This Video is such a Marvelous NFL Throwback ❤❤
I would like to know what goes in to the ranking tbh. Sometimes it seems like you're ranking teams lower by severity of loss (02 Raiders, 00 Giants, 85 Pats) but as your discussion suggests some of those teams were excellent in the regular season, suggesting they just had a bad day.
I agree. That 2000 New York Giants team was solid in my eyes. Good offence, good defence and hammering highly fancied Minnesota Vikings in NFC Championship 41-0.
As a Panthers fan, seeing how far we’ve fallen since 2015 makes me want to gouge my eyes out 😔
Sams... von Miller haunts me to this day. And cam newton not diving on the fumble.
Another great video from you guys!! Always amazes me how good some of those teams were in the 60’s and 70’s by todays standards
Falcons fan I would have given number 1 to the Falcons team 2016-2017 team only team to lose a Superbowl up by 25 points with 17 minutes left they made history alright best runner up ever 😂
That’s what I was thinkin too. Saints Fan here and that was a good day 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 ⚜️⚜️⚜️⚜️ #BlewDat
Really good team.
But in retrospect they had an amazing offense and a mediocre defense.
It's amazing that in the 1983 SB, the Raiders had had a season wherein they had led the league in lost-turnovers while the Redskins had led the league in turnovers-won.....in the same season!
Hey, a video us Bucs fans can watch without feeling disappointed!!
Amazing video
13:07 dude just casually hanging out in the end zone, nbd
As a Patriots fan I’ll never consider that season a failure and I’ll always respect them for having the balls to go for it in the first place. There’s never going to be a team that gets to a super bowl undefeated ever again. The nfl is literally rigged for competitive balance so something like that cannot happen. They also did surpass the 72 dolphins at 18-0 having to play more games against far tougher competition. It’s not like the giants blew them out it took a miracle for them to loose and the ball just didn’t bounce their way. Teams win the super bowl every year and I always believe If you have a chance to do something that’s never been done then go for it. Ultimate it’s a foot note since the Patriots had another dynasty in the 2010s anyway
Feel the same. I’ll got to my grave claiming that was the best team ever even with the SB loss
Go Giants!
18-1
how heartwarming...still lost though. Until another team breaks that curse to go undefeated in the future, your 07 Patriots will have to endure it for eternity
2009 Colts way too low
As a Broncos fan, I definitely have some concerns, lol
Fabulous Video
I remember before the 2000 season began that anyone would have thought the NFC represenitive in the super bowl would be the Giants.
2012 niners best team to lose the big game imo. Only spot they were weak was at the CB position
Imagine if they drafted Aaron Rodgers in 2005 and he was on that team.
This Video 📸 Is Absolutely Marvelous NFL Throwback
This list is just all over the place.
1984 Dolphins to me was #1, although I am happy with 8 on the list. I thought the 83 Redskins would be #2.
84 Dolphins could be above the 83 Skins; both teams had the highest scoring offense up to their respective seasons, and the Dolphins had the better defense I’d say.
With all due respect it always drives me a bit crazy when everyone says that the 1999 Titans came within one yard of winning SB 34. That TD would have TIED the score, not won it with the touchdown plus extra point. I believe the two point conversion was already in use then but I would think Coach Fisher would have gone for overtime.
As the Chiefs fan, the 2020 team was arguably the best we’ve ever had. Outside of the Super Bowl, our starters, went 16-1. Even though we had one really bad game in which we are riddled with injuries, we had beat every team that season that had a win on us. Especially considering that we were the defending Super Bowl champions that team was better than the vast majority of teams ahead. Idk how you could justify them being that low
10:42 '71 Dolphins vs Cowboys SB VI, then Cowboys of 1975.
The greatest show on turf shoulda been No 1
I wanted that cardinal team to win so bad because I was bitter about the afc title game that year. Breaking roethlisberger man…
Not a Falcons fan but witnessing them blow a 28-3 first half lead and lose in OT in Super Bowl 51 is the most heartbreaking of all time.
21-3 halftime
28-3 with 2:12 left in the third
Biggest chokers out.
I didn't grow up cheering for them (not much to cheer for honestly) but I moved to Atlanta in my early 20s and stayed for two decades.... Heartbreaking doesn't begin to describe it. Atlanta is one of the most snakebit cities in the country when it comes to sports championships.
And they just had to run the ball vs the patriots instead of getting cute

The Vikings are far and away the #1 loser and don't you dare try to take that title from us. It's the only #1 we'll ever have!
Idk, Bills have been holding that for years. Respectfully, I despise yall Vikings 😂😂
The 2006 Bears could’ve won it all if they had a real quarterback and didn’t have to fight the rain. Peyton Manning would’ve had to wait longer to win a Super Bowl.
I’ve seen every SB since the Jets upset the Colts in the 3rd game. Usually there’s a bias to more recent events on lists like this, but here it’s the other way around. Putting aside that teams are bigger, faster, smarter as time goes by, and rating them relative to their time
it’s hard to imagine that most teams from the 60’s and 70’s were not as balanced to be competitive on both sides of the ball. Again that’s judging them for their time. For example, the 1970 Colts we’re old, had to get hot to make the playoffs, Unitas is over the hill, no breakaway threat at RB and WR, except Roy Jefferson, Don McCafferty is the coach who may worse than Ray Malavasi
(1979 Rams) and even then the players were running the team. And they were the WINNERS beating the lackluster Cowboys with Craig Morton at quarterback. 1980 Eagles, 1969 Vikings, and 1966 Chiefs. Half built teams that should be recognized for getting there, but not not better than teams more properly constructed later on. This includes my 1972 Washington Redskins
Pittsburgh 2010 squad should be higher, people don’t realize that defence completely changed all the safety initiatives that are in the current game today
Raiders beating the Washington team was truly special I hope they can get back to that glory RAIDERSSSSS!!!!!!
The best team to never win that should have... hands down the 1990 Buffalo Bills
Nobody come close
It’s so sad because the 2023 Chiefs would’ve been ranked last in this list. They didn’t deserve that win.
I wouldn’t say last, but certainly bottom ten or so.
I know this is kinda random but did anyone know that Darren Sproles is #6 all time in all purpose yards?
Knew he was up there but 6 is kinda crazy ngl
Yea that includes kick offs and punt returns too. That’s why it’s skewed
@@danevertt3210 what is skewed about that? Yards are yards. It’s called ALL PURPOSE yards.
@@JSalonsky that’s like saying the all time point leader is a kicker. Look how upset you for over such a trivial thing
@@danevertt3210 I’m not upset 😭😂😂😂😂 & it’s still called ALL PURPOSE yards. Also it’s still impressive for a kicker to be the all time points leader in anything. They have to play for a ton of time & actually be accurate. You can look at the chargers over the last 10 years & see how bad their kickers have been. So for a person like Vinatineri & Morton Anderson to do it for 20 seasons & accurately is crazy impressive. Nothing skewed about it.
Also, it’s a trivial video, this is ranking EVERY Super Bowl loser. I love how you give your opinion & think that’s what should stand & how everyone should think, go tell people how to think somewhere else.
Just want to make sure you got the top 2 right. You did. Now you know why the Colts were 18 point favorites over the Jets in that game.
I was so mad the pats didn’t get that ring the year they had a perfect season
How good was John Elway?
He carried three teams in the bottom quartile of this list to the Super Bowl in a four year span. And he did it all with Dan Reeves coaching. While being a Hall of Fame worthy coach on merit, his entire game plan was to wait until the fourth quarter by running the ball with such stalwart talents as Sammy Winder and Steve Sewell, and then he would finally turn Elway loose.
If Reeves had an elite running back and Elway, could those Broncos teams have been better for the scheme he had in mind?
Glad to see the 69 Vikings at five
Landry had a lot of respect for those 70s Rams teams. In the 78 nfc championship post game he said that the Rams deserved to be Super Bowl champions
One of the best teams that history forgets because they didn’t win it all, and the only time they made the big game was after a 9-7 season in a watered down NFC.
From 1973-78, the Rams were the winningest team in the NFL in the regular season, and you could argue the best statistically a couple times too.
The NFC West outside of them wasn’t that good in those years, but you don’t go 66-19-1 over six years without beating some good teams.
They just had the misfortune of being decent at best at quarterback and consistently losing to teams with Hall of Famers at that position.
LOL THEY EVEN TRIED NAMATH IN '77@@fortynights1513
The Cheat-riots always get overrated
My poor Vikings 😢
The disrespect to the 2020 Chiefs is fucking wild (#39, 9:06). This list clearly factors in regular season dominance (which is how we all knew the 2007 Pats would be #1), but somehow totally ignores it when the defending champs go 14-1 but lose their entire starting o-line on the eve of the big game.
And the 2006 Bears crack the top 20? The 2019 Niners and 2018 Rams are ahead of them too? BAD JOB, LOL
You could argue that was maybe the best overall chiefs team Mahomes ever had.
The Cowboys that lost the NFL Championship to the first two Super Bowl winning Green Bay Packer teams played them much, much tougher than the highly rated teams you have losing to them, by big scores!
As a Falcons fan I’m not watching this 😂
Most of the teams below the 1969 Vikings would have annihilated the 1969 Vikings. The NFL was unbelievably weak that year. That was the first time the AFL was truly the better league.
86 broncos and 79 rams worst superbowl losers
I would have put the 1978 Dallas team at #4. Lost to a legendary Pittsburgh team by a hair.
Even played a better regular season than said Pittsburgh team statistically
Pittsburgh was wiping the floor with Dallas 31-17 with 2 minutes left and had their backups playing. Dallas recovered a onside kick and scored 2 garbage touchdowns lol
14:30 1970 Cowboys SB V
Falcons blowing such a huge lead... Kyle Shanahan OC...that's up there #2...and all arguable except your criteria is single season and scenario based...and now 2 SB losses blowing double digit leads as a HC.. LOL...Loved Mike Shanahan tho! Bills 4 in a row gotta hurt more than Pats...but we're talking single seasons. Many more
I'd probably lean more heavily on their performance on Super Bowl Sunday than you do on your list. You have to definitely take into consideration how they were all year. Any team can just have a bad day and lose. But seeing a team like the 79/80 Rams go toe to toe with the Steelers and get put so low while those 85 Patriots got absolutely annihilated by that Bears team just seems wrong. And that Carolina Panthers team who went down to the wire against the Tom Brady Patriots shoulda been a little higher.
The playoffs to win the decade
1970’s: 1972 Redskins vs 1978 Cowboys
1980’s: 1983 Redskins vs 1984 Dolphins
1990’s: 1990 Bills vs 1997 Packers
2000’s: 2001 Rams vs 2007 Patriots
2010’s: 2014 Seahawks vs 2017 Patriots
2020’s: 2022 Eagles vs 2023 49ers
So Far
How about among what there was of the 60’s in your opinion?
But the 2001 Patriots BEAT the 2001 Rams - and the 2007 Pats were better than the 2001 version
