The past 8 SB winners have failed to even win 1 post season game!

What chance do you give the Seahawks to repeat or heck, even win a playoff game?

Sounds crazy, but there is a trend.

Super Bowl XXXIX - New England lost to Denver 27-13 in an AFC Divisional playoff. But this is the last time (2005) a SB winner from the previous season won a playoff game as the Pats beat the Jags 28-3 in the Wildcard round. Since then the following 8 SB winners have not even won a Playoff game. The list:

Super Bowl XL - Pittsburgh finished third in the AFC North division with an 8-8 record.

Super Bowl XLI - Indianapolis lost to San Diego in an AFC Divisional playoff.

Super Bowl XLII - The New York Giants lost to Philadelphia in an NFC Divisional playoff.

Super Bowl XLIII - Pittsburgh finished third in the AFC North division with a 9-7 record and failed to qualify for the postseason.

Super Bowl XLIV - New Orleans lost to Seattle 41-36 in an NFC Wild Card game.

Super Bowl XLV - Green Bay lost to the New York Giants 37-20 in an NFC Divisional playoff game.

Super Bowl XLVI - The New York Giants finished with a 9–7 record and didn't go to the playoffs.

Super Bowl XLVII - The Baltimore Ravens failed to make the playoffs, going just 8-8.

Seattle Seahawks Super Bowl XLVIII -?

Hell, the Tards would be top dog in most divisions.

As long as Sherman, Earl Thomas, bam bam (Kam Chancellor), Wilson and Lynch are some what healthy they have a punchers chance. We didn't find out until this spring that RW had a medical issue with his throwing shoulder that started towards the end of last year. It coincided with the offensesive production going in the toilet. Makes sense now.

One of the members over at .net put this video together. NFL films USED to put together the big hits video's and sell them. If you liked those check out this vid. Yea it's all Hawks but it demonstrates how the D tackles and besides, who doesn't like to see Vernon Davis get destroyed several times as well as Welker, D Thomas (no not Derrick, yea that's how old I am), Sean Lee and well you get the jist. This is from the last couple of years.

The first 5 minutes is a little slow, the last 1/3 is really good if you like hard hits. Doesn't take long to figure out Kam is the thumper.

Most NFL fans don't really know how good the Niners and Seahawks really are?

What? Do you think this is the 60's and there is no 24/7 media coverage and twitter and Sunday Ticket and NFL being shoved down our throats on every channel during the fall and winter? If you don't know how good all 4 of the teams are in the West it's because you don't want to!

I think you are a lot naive.

The only way Seattle doesn't win another playoff game is if Beast Mode or Wilson go down for the year...
