Best Super Bowl losers
Posted on 2/7/16 at 3:59 am

I'm new to tigerdroppings so I'd like to say hi. With the milestone 50th Super Bowl approaching, it got me thinking about past Super Bowl teams, including those who lost. Much has been made about what are the best Super Bowl winners ever, but what about the best losers? It's a topic that's intrigued me for some time.
Well, here's my list of what I think are the 15 best Super Bowl losers: 1. '78 Cowboys, 2. '14 Seahawks, 3. '84 Dolphins, 4. '12 49ers, 5. '09 Indy Colts, 6. '83 Redskins, 7. '07 Patriots, 8. '68 Balt. Colts, 9. '01 Rams, 10. '90 Bills, 11. '97 Packers, 12. '69 Vikings, 13. '88 Bengals, 14. '99 Titans, 15. '02 Raiders
Yes I know what you're thinking. How come the '07 Patriots are at #7? To me they seemed too finesse, too cosmetic with great passing numbers, a lot like this year's Cardinals. All sizzle, no steak. What I liked in the '78 Cowboys and '14 Seahawks is that they were champions the year before and really could've won it again but came up short at the end.
The way I see it, to be on a list like mines you have to be so good that you could beat Super Bowl winners in other years.
So, who do you have on your list?
If Panthers lose how high up the list do you think they should go? What Super Bowl losers can beat them whether or not they beat the Broncos?

I say the Vikings, since they had so much practice at losing the SB.

Cardinals 2008

Not the SB, but when the Bears beat the crap out of the Saints in the NFCCCG.

And yet, they were 18-0 going into the super bowl. What the hell is steak if that isn't it?

'99 Titans. They lost by literally 1 or 2 feet.
Most exciting finish to SB (PIT-Ari) close 2nd
ETA: 4) '12 niners ???? Sunk you list early. Re-evaluate.

A touchdown would have tied the score.

78 cowboys lost because of a dropped pass in the end zone by Jackie smith.

The list isn't the losers who came closest to winning a Super Bowl.
The '99 Titans weren't that great of a team. Neither were the '08 Cardinals which I saw on another post. I think the 07 Pats, 78 Cowboys, 68 Colts, and 97 Packers are the best of the losing teams. 11 Pats and 14 Seahawks weren't bad either.

There are four teams that clearly stand out to me. They are the 1968 Colts, 1983 Redskins, 2001 Rams and 2007 Patriots. All of those teams were unstoppable offensively and were thrashing everybody coming into the game. They just all happen to lay an offensive egg in the biggest game of the season.

68 Colts
69 Vikings
78 Cowboys
01 Rams
07 Patriots
What about teams who didn't make the Super Bowl like the 98 Vikings and 06 Chargers?
