Offseason post: Rivera literally told the media he wasn't changing anything before Superbowl 50

[GEM]

Being a Vikings fan before the Panthers. I am 0 and 6 in Super Bowls. Very painful topic. For me, I will put this one on coaching. I really thought we had a great chance to be champions. The tears have just screwed up my phone........

There were multiple factors involved but through inaction the league made it clear it was open season on Newton in that Super Bowl and beyond. The rematch was even worse. Never seen a more blatant attempt at hurting an opposing player before or after that game. You just have to accept and make peace with it all what's done is done.

To this day I will always have a disdain for Denver will always wish bad luck and losses on their dirty ass for an eternity

100%. The first game of the next season put them on my shitlist forever. I hate them as much as our division rivals(not quite as much as the Pats).

The worst part was they won in spite of him. He was quite literally the worst starting QB in the NFL that season.

How do you get a tweet to show here?

Just went back and looked at the stats. I understand why Ron didn't do anything different.  We came in 17-1.  During the game, our offense was moving the ball (21 first downs to denver's 11, 315 yds to denver's 194) and our defense was lights out.

We gave up a 61 yard punt return that led to 3 pts, turned the ball over 4 times, had 100+ yards in penalties (vs. denver's 51 yds), missed a chippy 44 yard FG, and had multiple ref bad calls / no calls.

Despite all that, we were only down 6 with the ball on our own 28 with 4.5 minutes left.  Our superman MVP needed just 1 more TD drive and we're champs.  Didn't work out obviously.  

Point is, we were the better team and had a fantastic opportunity to win at the end despite all of the blunders (self imposed and not).  Other than helping Remmers out a little by some TE chipping, I really don't see what would have made a big difference in the end.  We were right there - just needed 1 drive.

I will not speak of this business again.
