Pro Bowl Selections - Bad Omen?

[dldove77]

Won't get any pie for this...just hoping it's not a bad omen. 

In the past twelve years, no team that has led the NFL in Pro Bowl players has gone on to win the Super Bowl. Not actual players playing; just players selected. Only three times did the team with the most selections even make the Super Bowl. 

Full disclosure: all info comes from wikipedia. Verified the previous five years with news reports. Beyond that, I'm just taking wiki at face value...

Even if it's all accurate, it's just a stat, but something to discuss.

2015 - Denver - 9 (Patriots)

2014 - KC/SF - 8 (Seahawks)

2013 - Houston/SF* - 9 (Ravens)

2012 - NE*/SF - 9 (Giants)

2011 - Atlanta - 9 (Packers)

2010 - Minnesota - 10 (Saints)

2009 - Tennessee - 8 (Steelers)

2008 - Dallas - 13 (Giants)

2007 - San Diego - 11 (Colts)

2006 - Indianapolis - 7 (Steelers)

2005 - Philadelphia* - 10 (Patriots)

2004 - Kansas City - (Patriots)

*Lost Super Bowl

This has been a year of firsts for the Panthers Hopefully thats another one.

Equally interesting and irrelevant.

The internet can be a very confusing place sometimes.

BUT every 14-0 has gone to the Superbowl. 

Cam Newton has won every Championship game he has ever played in. 

[Omega Atrocity]

Way too specific of a measure to have any meaning, but ti is really interesting.

Carolina seems to be a doing a lot of "never done that before" this year.

Much more interested in this trend.

And no QB had ever thrown for 300 and 5 TDs and rushed for 100 in a game.

[The Huddler]

Its easy to tell weve never been in this position before. All these scared ass panther fans afraid of winning. 

[countryboi]

how can it be a bad omen when we have never been here before? how does some other teams failures effect the Panthers?

I'm very guilty of that, all I can see are our flaws. I'm thinking about our lack of pass rush a lot more than 14-0 

[IGSaint]

It's not worth discussing. What are we to discuss? Fugging Omens, are you serious? 

[sharkkiller]

OMG. 

 

We don't have a #50 on the roster. No team has ever won the Super Bowl without having someone on their team with the number of the Super Bowl.
