Arrowhead Adventures! Superbowl Thoughts!

by Chiefs

There are 14 NFL teams that have never won a Superbowl. Below are 10 teams that did have made the big game but failed to win it.

1. Minnesota Vikings (tied for the biggest losers, they have  been four times). Great choice for a team Jared! (ok I need to get over it).

2. Buffalo Bills (lost four in a row). Unreal how can they live with themselves?

3. Cincinnatti Bengals (lost twice).

4. Philadelphia Eagles (lost twice). Therefore Carl Peterson felt we needed to bring half their former players and coaching staff from the 1981 team to KC). Ron Jaworski, Herm Edwards, (even Wilbert Montgomery if memory serves). Think of any more? By the way,  anyone know who delivered the motivational speech before the 81 team took the field? I do! Don Rickels! They never had a chance!

5. San Diego Chargers have been once, in 1995 and lost. (The History of this team worries me folks. I don’t want the Chiefs to be regular division winners, and regular post season losers. ) We aren’t regular losers yet I don’t think.

6. Atlanta Falcons went once and lost. (Tony, your ring fingers is gonna remain empty I’m afraid).

7. Tennessee Titans got to go one time and blew it.

8. Carolina Panthers, one time appearance, one time losers.

9. Seattle Seahawks appeared once and lost it in 2006.

10. Arizona Cardinals appeared once of course and lost.  Coach Haley bailed, our gain their loss.

Four Teams have never even made an appearance!

The four losers are the Browns, the Lions, the Texans, and the Jags. The Texans and Jags are newer teams, kind of an excuse. The Browns and Lions, extremely difficult to live with that record I would imagine.

As of 2008, it was six. Arizona and New Orleans finally made the big show.

As the Superbowl goes, I think Kansas City has an awesome history, two appearances, one win, with teams that were not only two of the best in Chiefs history, but NFL history as well.

Is it better to have not been back to the Superbowl in 30 years, or to lose four times like the Vikings and Bills, even worse the Bills four times in a row? I don’t know. What do you think?

Still, if memory serves , every team in our division, (including when the Seahawks were in our division) has been to the show fairly recently (Correct me if I’m wrong AA’rs). So bottom line….it’s time to nut up or shut up. It’s time the Kansas City Chiefs recaptured the ulitmate NFL title.  Still, we are in much better shape than some…..

Fun Fact!

Twenty one points is the magic number for the Kansas City Chiefs defense. The team entered 2009 with 56 wins in the last 66 games at Arrowhead in which it allowed 21 points or fewer. How does the record extend through 2010?!

This weekend your Arrowhead Adventurer will be sitting at my friends house watching and rooting four the Green Bay Packers, a team I think we can closely identify with fan wise and also venue size. Check the staff picks, I’m falling behind I believe. I hope to correct that this weekend.

See you next week!

I think that could happen too Conn its exciting!

Randy, I was thinking about Superbowl history last week as well. One thought I had: Wouldn't it be nice to see a repeat of SB1. GB vs. KC. With KC coming out on top this time. It would be nice to see an "old school" matchup like that, and, when you think about it, I don't think it's far from possible.

That ring is sweet, I can see why guys like Jared Allen and Tony G. want one so bad.

I could not phrase it better, DAREALESTFANKC! AWESOME!

I love the history of the chiefs and I sure am glad not to be one of those other teams. GO CHIEFS!!!!!!

Patrick I agree with your Steelers thoughts. Pittsburgh is a relitively small venue, its been economically depressed for many years, done with multiple quarterbacks. Amazing indeed. But I find even more amazing the Vikings and Bills mulitple failures. My thoughts with this post were its time for us to win again, but our situation could be much much worse. How can anyone keep buying season tickets in Detroit? There are season ticket holders there that buy them year after year after year.

Its very hard to understand what the Eagles were thinking Nemoi with Rickles. The Eagles former owner died the morning of the game, everybody in Philly loved him. Just a lot of odd things about the Eagles loss, lots of bad omens.

It IS odd Robb. I dont follow Superbowl winners that much if it doesn't involve the Chiefs, that through process just popped in my head when the Seahawks beat New Orleans.

that's strange that you posted this. I recently was thinking that in my lifetime I have seen every AFC West team make the superbowl EXCEPT my beloved Chiefs.

I got 3/4. Jags, Texans, Lions, but I forgot that the Browns were only good before the merger.

The log in is a good idea. I just stay logged in and commenting is easier too. No personal info to enter each time. I also noticed two Raider Troll posts deleted from the "Evil Al Davis" post. It pays to know who is writing. I agree that I would rather win one Superbowl than none, but in my book, I wouldn't complain if we made it four other times and lost. At least we have a real win to put on a commemorative patch. Even if it is 42 years ago. The Don Rickels motivational speech is hilarious. What where they thinking?

The fact that 14 out of 32 teams have never won it goes to show just how difficult it is. That is why I find it particularly amazing that the Steelers have won it 6 times and have a real shot at #7 this year. Really amazing.

Excellent points LOJO! We hope to hear more from our female AA'rs!

I HATE THIS NEW COMMENT SETUP - Logging in was a real PITA! Ok, I personally cannot relate to the 'nut up or shut up', but find that hilarious. I think it is better to have at least won the Superbowl once than to have never won at all. BUT - fewer and fewer of us can remember winning it, so the time is drawing nigh good men. Let's learn from our last 2 games at Arrowhead and get this boat back on course.

lojo, It actually is easier. I am sorry you were annoyed at signing up but now once you are logged in you are logged in.
