Teams Eliminted from SB

[KJ]

That was a clinic by Detroit on defense today. They’re going to ruin my early call to remove them for their idiot coach last week…

It was a weird game. Neither team was actually good at all on defense.

 

[Colin Wynner]

I was fascinated by who the Super Bowl winners have historically lost to that I modified the criteria a bit. (Sorry for the hi-jack).

Here is a list of teams since division realignment who teams winning the Super Bowl have not lost a non-divisional game to (with the teams they already beat):

Jets - Titans
Browns - Jags
Ravens
Raiders - Ravens
Chargers - Panthers, Raiders
Panthers
Cardinals - Rams
Bucs - Commandos, Lions

So, that didn't remove any of the remaining 12 teams; here are the remaining "must-win" games for those teams:

49ers - Week 10 at Bucs
Bengals - Week 4 at Panthers, Week 9 v. Raiders, Week 11 at Chargers
Bills - Week 4 at Ravens
Bucs - Week 14 v. Raiders, Week 15 at Chargers (EG)
Chargers - Week 9 at Browns, Week 12 v. Ravens, Week 15 v. Bucs (EG)
Chiefs - Week 12 at Panthers, Week 15 at Browns
Cowboys - Week 3 v. Ravens, Week 15 at Panthers, Week 16 v. Bucs
Jets - Week 10 at Cardinals
Packers - Week 6 v. Cardinals
Saints - Week 8 at Chargers, Week 11 v. Browns, Week 17 v. Raiders
Texans - Week 9 at Jets, Week 17 v. Ravens
Vikings - Week 5 v. Jets (in London), Week 13 v. Cardinals

Cowboys officially eliminated.

Ride or die with mcdc. He is who he is. I hated the hire at the time but now I hope he's here forever.

 

[HUNT]

Detroit has played very similar to the chiefs the last few years this early season. Realizing you need to run to win.

That goofy coach ain’t making it back to the SB without those coordinators.

 

[Inspekdah]

Oh yeah gotta love him he’s changed the culture for sure. I probably overreacted after last week and the fact that he gifted the 9ers that game last year.

Kyle makes just as bad decisions.

 

[Inspekdah]

If we played Kyler next week we’d lose by 40. A lot has to happen between now and that game in 2 weeks.

Rams are back in the SB discussion if they beat Chicago next. They’re a young athletic undisciplined group on D with an offense that Stafford and Williams need to carry until everyone comes back from IR. Week 6 bye week was once frowned on but now is a big advantage. Even if the Rams can go into their bye 2-3, they’ll get Puka, Kupp and 2 starting olinmen back. I trust McVay will coach these youngsters up with more time. What a grind.

They are getting there...

Vs TB they went away from it a bit...

I'm sure the members are sick of me pounding the sand at our losses last year generally being the result of stopping with a successful run game in the 2h... Saints and Bears games were the worst...

Today, they really showed it.

That will correlate to UNDERS @VirginiaCavs

That's one reason why we all were making money on those Chiefs 2h unders last test.

Yes
Could be very similar for Lions this year. The next few weeks will tell a lot, then you'll get discounts on those second half unders after big first halves.

They need to avoid that injury bug. Huge win today regardless of what both teams were missing. Stafford was Detroit Stafford today and will be until he gets his wrs back.

 

[HUNT]

The last two teams who opened the season with the same teams their first two playoff games have went to the super bowl. Interesting.

It was definitely a terrible hire when Detroit native Saleh was available. Thanks for nothing.

I hope Sam Darnold kills it so JJ Mccarthy can get traded out of NFC norris.

No way should ravens be thrown out imo

Agreed, but they will choke....again.

 

[RetroRetrovk]

probably

 

[Loves2kickass]

Maybe anyone who plays the Ravens is his second favorite team?

 

[Inspekdah]

Ravens have been eliminated from the 2025/26 SB.

 

[Inspekdah]

Packers can take a walk. Should have been removed before the season kickoff.

Bengals remain alive.

 

[Brewers888]

This is not a serious thread at all and I demand it get taken down until you've eliminated the Jets.

 

[Brewers888]

For all the trivia buffs out there has any team ever won a Super Bowl after losing a game to a team with 60 yards passing.

 

[Inspekdah]

Jets are absolutely.

Alive.

But hurting.

If they can win this week in London they can beat anyone. If they lose by 30. Well, it’s over.

 

[Inspekdah]

I wanted to give Joe Cool as long as a leash as possible but 1-4 with that defense isn’t going to end in a SB.

Jets loss means nothing @Brewers888. They can lead the division with a win next week.

9ers lost nothing as well, may have improved end game wise actually.

Shanny is a shit coach bro.

Purdy's tiny little hands cost them on that final drive today.

Niners ELIMINATED...

Considering they’re missing 2 guys who are expected to be back in Dre and CMC and can be in first place after next week. They’re not eliminated. They should be. But 4-4 going into the bye is fine. If they had either of those guys they’d be 5-1. Not a good sign to lose games you have 90% win probability, but it’s better than simply being a bad team. Kyle blows inside the red zone.

 

[Inspekdah]

Maybe we can hit an exacta next week and get a Salah firing after a Jets loss @Brewers888 and he can rejoin the 9ers

I will pay his moving expenses to get him out.

With a win next week you might as well book your trip to the bowl.

I've been tortured enough and need this to end as soon as possible.

 

[Brewers888]

Who am I kidding when they fire Saleh the next coach is going to be another conservative defensive coach who will drive me insane. Instead of hiring Ben Johnson or Bobby Slowik they'll either bring back Rex or hire some bum like Vrabel or Aaron Glenn.

Vrabel will come in and “change the culture”!

 

[KJ]

I knew this would somehow turn into a Jets thread

Fuck Vrabel and fuck the Jets if they bring him in.

I can and will turn any thread possible into a Jets thread but since this is a thread about teams being eliminated from Super Bowl contention and the Jets have not been included I will continue to voice my displeasure.
