30 point losses by eventual Super Bowl champions

Recommended Posts

Last night was rough. In searching for some ray of hope, I wanted to see if any eventual Super Bowl champion had ever been blown out like this. The internet provided the answer. 

http://thecomeback.com/thisgivensunday/2013-articles/the-worst-losses-by-a-super-bowl-winner.html

2003 Patriots, Week 1, at Buffalo. In what ranks with hindsight as one of the more shocking performances in recent NFL history, the Patriots played horribly and the Bills played great, intercepting Tom Brady four times and coming away with a 31-0 win.

1976 Raiders, Week 4, at New England. An offensive explosion for the Patriots. Sam "Bam" Cunningham had 101 rushing yards to lead a balanced attack that racked up nearly 300 yards on the ground, while quarterback Steve Grogan threw three touchdown passes as part of a very efficient performance. The Raiders fumbled four times, losing three of them, as a powerful offensive line struggled to create holes.

1994 49ers, Week 5, vs. Philadelphia. Randall Cunningham threw, and Charlie Garner ran, all over one of the league's most expensive and highly-regarded defenses. On the other side of the ball, the Eagles harassed Steve Young into one of his worst days as a pro, safetying him and forcing two interceptions. 

2012 Ravens, Week 7, at Houston. Joe Flacco would play a miserable game, the worst in the past five seasons by ESPN's Total QBR, as Houston rolled, 43-13.

Patriots got blown out by the Chiefs 41-14 on Monday Night Football in 2014 and everyone was talking about how it was the end of the Patriots dynasty and Tom Brady's done and all that. Then they went on to win the Super Bowl. 

Patriots also have the best HC & QB combo of all time .

And that means they still gave up 31 points. Give it up this team is done, we have no defense.

Didn't Panthers score more than 31 points last week. You act like this defense has been giving up 31 pts on a regular basis, stop it.

Defense was tired as fug from short week and will bounce back.

I think everyone here can agree, with this veteran core, and this coaching staff, this season has always been Super Bowl or bust. This team has a less than 1% chance of winning the Super Bowl. Absolute best case scenario for this team is 12-4, and that won't even win the division LOL. Time to move on to the post Rivera era.

They just gave up 28 points to the crappy bucs. Just stop with this short week poo and teams coming back from blowouts to go to SB. It's not happening!!!

There's no amount of spin that will take the smell off that shitfest you saw last night.  This team will not be in the playoffs this year much less the SB.

Accept it, your life will be much better.

that wont keep us out of the playoffs...it may motivate us more...I still say playoffs...its not spin at this point of the season

    • Darrell Jackson would be a fantastic pickup for us, I think he could replace 80% of what A’Shawn gave us last year. With more passing rush upside going forward in the future, I’m a big proponent of large framed defensive tackles. Pairing Derrick Brown with another 6’5 35inch arm length DT would be so fun to watch. Let’s continue being huge in the middle, allow our linebackers to flow to the ball uninterrupted.
    • Fully agree that the best thing to do is ignore them, which takes a away their thrill of thinking they got to you.
    • I agree with you on the pick of Thienemen in the first. I think he will still be there and he's a smart, fast and sturdy player. He's who we need back there. In the second, I like Rodriguez over Golday. I agree that off the ball linebackers are desperately needed here, even with our great FA pick up. I think with our third pick, we're going to dip into OT territory instead of the D-line. While I agree that we need another disruptor at the point of attack that is stout enough to just stonewall a center and a guard at the same time, we've got a shaky and expensive O-line at the present that is just about to age out of the game. I think we snag Blake Miller out of Clemson here and give him a year behind Moton to learn and put some weight and strength on. He can also jump right in and play right guard at any time. Also, and this might sound crazy, but anyone who has put up with multiple seasons at Clemson will be able to take the heat and humidity of training camp at the start of the season and early games against the NFCSouth.  Beyond that, your guess is as good as mine. We do need that QB for competition and realistically to study for back-up. Luke Altmyer out of Illinois seems to fit the mold of the point guard type QB that they want from Bryce. That'd make an apples to apples situation that could make coaching and game planning easy. On the other hand North Dakota State's Cole Payton could be an intriguing choice as well as a big dual threat guy. Both could be there for our fourth pick or both could be gone. Will QBs continue to slide this season like last? Who knows?
