So excited.  Such a great story.  Love the connection our teams have formed.

Hope this inspires the Panthers afresh to go out and win the Super Bowl this year.  Obviously we won't be the underdog or a Cinderella story like LC this season, but still... to overcome the Super Bowl hangover and become the first team since the 72 dolphins to win the SB after losing the previous year... that would be something truly special!  (Even better if we go 19-0 and break the 'Phins perfect season record in the process!)

This is literally like the Browns winning the SuperBowl this year...

Except for people are actually happy for Leicester City.

The crazy thing is that the Browns are 200-1 to win the SB this year. Leicester was 5000-1 to win the Premier League.

I actually think the odds of the Browns winning would be way better. The way the Premier league works this is an incredible achievement for a team that was widely perceived as a punching bag for the rest of the league at the outset of the season.

Yeh but I don't really think 5000-1 was (obviously in hindsight) as out of reach as 200-1 is for the Browns winning the Superbowl. Given in the last 20 years teams like Leeds, Blackburn and Newcastle have all got to touching distance of the premier league title, and I can't remember the last time there was a completely shocking superbowl winner, I think those odds are too far apart.

I would put the chances of the Browns winning the superbowl closer to 2000-1 if the odds on Leicester at the beginning of the season was 5000-1.

Leicester barely avoided getting relegated last year and fired their manager before the season even started. Historically the BPL is one of the least competitive leagues. Prior to this year, Chelsea, Manchester City, Manchester United, and Arsenal had won every league title dating back to 1994.

I would agree that the Browns chances of winning the SB should be worse than 200-1, but Leicester City winning the title is the greatest (no exaggeration) underdog story in history.

      Yep he made the comment " I dont know what they were doing out there at that point" in the press conference. Let's be real they all got paid but they also know his system suppresses there offensive potential.

      PFF ranks the 2025 starting QBs

      By woahfraze · Posted

      Why are you so fixated on yards? Even if yards were a good judge of QB play, his low yardage totals in some of those games were partly a function of drops (looking at you Xavier Leggette…).  I’m not advocating that Bryce was elite for the last half of last year, but the eye test certainly supported high level QB play for large stretches. He made a lot of high difficulty, put it on the money/drop in the bucket throws. He converted on 3rd and 4th down, kept drives moving, and put the team in position to win games. And it’s not on him that the defense blew it late after he led game tying drives, Leggette dropped a game winning TD, or Chuba fumbled the ball in OT. We could have finished the season close to .500 with wins against 3 playoff teams including KC and Philly during that stretch largely due to Bryce’s play.    Has he sustained this level of play long enough to deserve an higher ranking? No. But for judging based in that stretch alone, he would. But whether he can perform more consistently at that level or build on that, and thus earns a higher ranking, remains to be seen.
