......no team has ever won a Super Bowl if they went 0-4 in pre season. I have not done a totally flawless search on this, but certainly things that tend to be true in the past, tend to be true in the future.

Best way to get to a Super Bowl, statistically, seems to be to go 2-2 in pre season. That probably shows a balance of strength and willingness to accept losses in the short run, to win in the longer run.

Last time Panthers went to the Super Bowl they were undefeated in pre season, just for the record.

I am going to stop short of saying that one of the next two pre season games is a MUST win. But it's close.

Just a thought.......

but.....but....but the Lions!!! OP, u really think thts wht players think about during games? Week 17, Kasay lines up to take a game winning, division clinching FG to take Carolina to a 12-4 record and first round bye. Even tho he knows he can make it, he will prolly just have this thought "I could make this, but we were 4-0 in preseason, so its not like we're gunna win the super bowl anyways....i mine as well just miss this kick....." who the F has their pre-season record on their mind when their working toward a Super Bowl run?

Oh and another tidbit for yall, no bald QB has ever won the super bowl. the only one close was Trent Dilfer with Baltimore in 2000. Ironically enough, he gets the least credit for taking his team there. See i have random thoughts to

      After the Chiefs game a 6'5 X would really help in the Red zone. I would also love to add Slayton in FA

      But again, you can restock a defense through free agency much easier than offensive skill positions. Spend all our cap space on defense, take a true elite prospect who also happens to fit a position of need in T-Mac, and then use the rest of our picks on defense. Again, every season there’s a smattering of great DL, LB, and DB options in free agency, a Top 10 WR never hits free agency, ever.  The only way you get one is through the draft or giving up 1st round picks in a trade for one. If he’s there when we’re on the clock, he has to be the pick, he’s just that good.

      Bryce QB School Week 12

      It must be an early Christmas for JT O'Sullivan having Thielen back so he could put a coal in Thielen's stocking every chance he gets.  Honestly, the biggest surprise is not so much the anticipation. There were those moments here and there last year as well. It's that even that one positive quality he had seemingly vanished his first two games to where it looked like it was all but over, only for it to start coming back some until you get exclamation points all over this game film. And some of those throws were under a lot of duress, something I feel is something new. Finally, those deeper shots are starting to land. Not all of them, but enough that defenses may have to start respecting them. No guarantees whether this will end up as more of anomaly but I certainly hope it isn't. The Green Bay game was a sampler of what BY could be. Against KC, we got a meal. If we could start getting these meals regularly, we might actually have something to work with here.
