No defending Superbowl Champs have won a playoff game since 2005

They've been talking about that for a couple of days on radio/tv, but I wonder how many of those Super Bowl teams even made the playoffs the following year? Haven't heard anyone mention that and I'm way too lazy to look it up.

 

 

*Edit* - NM - 4 didn't make the playoffs; 4 lost the first game

It's part of the magic # 8.

 

- 8 years since a Super Bowl champ won a playoff game

 

- Panthers have 8 new starters compared to the first time they played the Seahawks this year.

 

- Panthers are 8-8-1

 

- It was week 8 when these two teams last played

 

etc..

 

There were a couple of other references to the # 8 but I can't remember them.

 

Obviously means the Panthers will win 8-6 with a safety in OT being the difference.

This is like that number 23 movie.

 

The last good QB to play for the seahawks was #8... OMG

    • One thing I didn’t consider is how thin this draft is at quarterback. That’s going to drive up the market for backups and borderline starters like Willis, Jones, and Jameis Winston. Because of that, we’ll most likely be priced out of the market for this tier of backup. 
    • We've already beat the #1 seed twice, why not one more? (Packers and Rams were both #1 seed at the time we played)
    • My determination has come down to this. Based on recent QB history, has Bryce's improvement warranted 50m per season? Lamar is the only original team QB to play on his 5th year. The others took major deals at the end of the 3rd, before or just after the option was signed. Chances are, we're getting asked for the same.  I haven't rooted for Bryce to fail. I've rooted for him to succeed so big that them signing that extension would give me no worries about our future at QB at all. We haven't seen that level of play consistently that this year. We haven't seen it in the past 6 games.  We're about to be at a threshold with Bryce and I worry about what this front office will do. We have a history of bad decision making and Morgan has been part of that group making those decisions. I don't want Carolina in the same boat Arizona and Miami are right now. It has nothing to with being right. It has to do with wanting to win for more than a single season. We've never had back to back winning seasons. Faith in their abilities is not warranted at this point.
