To all those thinking it's a good time for a loss...

I wanted to see if everyone was right when they say it's a good time for a loss.  So I took a quick look at the regular seasons of the Super Bowl winners from 2004:

 

Year Super Bowl Winner Final Games
2004 Patriots Lost in week 15
2005 Steelers Lost weeks 11,12,13 Won 14-17
2006 Colts Lost 4 of final 7
2007 Giants Lost 4 of final 8
2008 Steelers Won 6 of final 7
2009 Saints Lost final 3
2010 Packers Lost 3 of final 6
2011 Giants Lost 5 of final 8
2012 Ravens Lost 4 of final 5
2013 Seahawks Lost 2 of final 4
2014 Patriots Lost week 17

 

So...history would say yes, it was a great time for a loss.  Losing late in the season is surprisingly common for teams that won the Super Bowl.  

 

I believe our best football still hasn't been played yet and a Super Bowl win is in our future.

Not sure if I would call it a "good thing". But you, sure as hell made your point about losing towards the end of the season, then coming back and winning a Super Bowl!

Gotcha!

Shoot, I wouldn't say it's a "good thing" and I hate losing more than I love winning.  But it seems like, at least recently, losing late in the season is a good wake up call.

      I remember the Huddle consensus over the course of last season and the previous one. Lots of Bryce is a bust, we should've drafted a 4th slot WR, should've kept Wilks, should've kept an armless Cam, etc etc. So... yea... already thought about that. I wouldn't trust the Huddle to detail my car, let alone run a multi-billion dollar professional sports team. 😛

      bold prediction, I think Mike Green will be the best pass rusher in this class, and thats even with abdul carter.  He reminds me of demarcus ware, not just in size and prowess, but even coming from a Sunbelt school (Ware from Troy, Green from Marshall).  I think he is passionate about the sport where I think Carter as the physical freak might not have the heart.  Thats the guy Im sold on and am gonna hammer the table for, I know he's not projected 8, but he is projected like 12-13, so if a slide back can happen and we still get the guy I want, I'm 100% on board. All that said, it takes 2 to tango, I think the Cowboys are the tango-er.  IMO theres a VERY good shot that Jeanty is available at 8.  Why does that matter?  Not only do the cowboys NEED a runningback (dak sucks without a run game), but MORE importantly, gee where did Jeanty play in high school.....Frisco TX, literally Dallas Metro.  Soo, RB is a position of need and the best RB and most blue chip draft selection that  could improve the offense immensly played IN dallas metro AND will be in range for them to move up and pick?  Do ya think Jerry Jones is gonna just say no to the Jersey Sales?  Jerry might have sexually assaulted a woman and attempted to prevent black people from going to school, but he's no idiot (he is).  IMO, we get a good enough package, prlly their first and third,  maybe a conditional later and we move to 12.  We get Green, they get Jeanty, everbuddy happy.
