ExWNYer Posted January 29, 2012 Posted January 29, 2012 Looking back over Super Bowls past, I have identified a few losing teams I would have liked to have seen won. Of course, we would all say Buffalo. However, if you had to pick another losing team that you wanted to see win, who would it have been and why? I would have liked to have seen Oakland beat Tampa in Super Bowl 37 due to the fact that I can't stand Gruden. Your pick? Other than the the Bills winning, of course, I would have preferred these outcomes: Super Bowl VII: Washington over Miami Super Bowl VIII: Minnesota over Miami Super Bowl IX: Minnesota over Pittsburgh Super Bowl X: Dallas over Pittsburgh Super Bowl XI: Minnesota over Oakland Super Bowl XIII:Dallas over Pittsburgh Super Bowl XIV: LA Rams over Pittsburgh Super Bowl XXII: Denver over Washington Super Bowl XXXII: Green Bay over Denver Super Bowl XXXIII: Atlanta over Denver Super Bowl XXXVI: St. Louis over New England* Super Bowl XXXVIII: Carolina over New England* Super Bowl XXXIX: Philadelphia over New England* Super Bowl XL: Seattle over Pittsburgh Super Bowl XLIII: Arizona over Pittsburgh Boiled down...all Super Bowls won by Miami, New England*, & Pittsburgh are the ones I'd want reversed more than any others.
Tcali Posted January 29, 2012 Posted January 29, 2012 I was very fortunate to be at the goal post game when we finally beat Miami. Killer seats, on the 40 3 rows up on the Miami side. I could clearly hear Shula yelling "What are we doing out there!" No way can NE ever compete with that. Like I said, first hate. that was one of the greatest bills games
Bills!Win! Posted January 29, 2012 Posted January 29, 2012 Arizona should've win against Pittsburgh. That game was a heart breaker for me and I'm not even a cardinals fan. It's just that I could relate to them so well, being a bills fan.

I agree with most of your picks; however, I'm glad Dallas didn't beat Pitt back in SB 13.
Talley56 Posted January 30, 2012 Posted January 30, 2012 I know I'm going to catch hell over this, but I wanted the Pats to beat the Giants for a perfect season. I am sick and tired of hearing from the "perfect" 72 Dolphins. Then perhaps a better answer would be Redskins over Dolphins in Superbowl VII. But personally I'd say Panthers over Patriots in XXXVIII.
stinky finger Posted January 30, 2012 Posted January 30, 2012 I know I'm going to catch hell over this, but I wanted the Pats to beat the Giants for a perfect season. I am sick and tired of hearing from the "perfect" 72 Dolphins. I was for any of the the Pats opponents. GO GIANTS!!
RJ (not THAT RJ) Posted January 30, 2012 Posted January 30, 2012 I'm glad to see several votes for the Vikings. SB XI was the first one I really watched and understood, and I was pulling for Minnesota (largely because my father hated John Madden for preferring Ken Stabler over Daryle Lamonica years earlier, just as he hated the Bills for a while for preferring Kemp to Lamonica... my father was an Olympic Grudge-Holder, like all good Italians of his generation). Anway, watching the Raiders take the Vikes apart in that game was pretty disappointing. Little did I know that deeper Super Bowl pain, much closer to home, was awaiting in the future...
Stealth Posted January 30, 2012 Posted January 30, 2012 Rams to beat the Pats Eagles to beat the Pats Panthers to beat the Pats That's all I can recall from recent memory
dpberr Posted January 30, 2012 Posted January 30, 2012 ...would have loved to see the Cardinals and Chargers (1994) as Super Bowl champs. One of the very best games I ever watched was that Dolphins/Chargers AFC division game. The game had both a comeback and a wide right. All in the span of less than a minute. Ahh the days of Dick Enberg on NBC calling the AFC games.

Homey D. Clown Posted January 30, 2012 Posted January 30, 2012 I know I'm going to catch hell over this, but I wanted the Pats to beat the Giants for a perfect season. I am sick and tired of hearing from the "perfect" 72 Dolphins. Absolutely the same reason for me, but I really wanted to see the Cardinals beat the steelers as well.
shibuya Posted January 30, 2012 Posted January 30, 2012 Seattle over Pittsburgh. they were robbed by piss poor officiating.
Over 29 years of fanhood Posted January 30, 2012 Posted January 30, 2012 I think Seattle got jobbed pretty bad and as a bills fan I can sympathize with that. That and I don't like Pittsburgh in any super bowl. Hate their fans This. I was pulling for the Pittsburgh opponent every time in the past decade.
KD in CA Posted January 30, 2012 Posted January 30, 2012 Other than the the Bills winning, of course, I would have preferred these outcomes: Super Bowl VII: Washington over Miami Super Bowl VIII: Minnesota over Miami Super Bowl IX: Minnesota over Pittsburgh Super Bowl X: Dallas over Pittsburgh Super Bowl XI: Minnesota over Oakland Super Bowl XIII:Dallas over Pittsburgh Super Bowl XIV: LA Rams over Pittsburgh Super Bowl XXII: Denver over Washington Super Bowl XXXII: Green Bay over Denver Super Bowl XXXIII: Atlanta over Denver Super Bowl XXXVI: St. Louis over New England* Super Bowl XXXVIII: Carolina over New England* Super Bowl XXXIX: Philadelphia over New England* Super Bowl XL: Seattle over Pittsburgh Super Bowl XLIII: Arizona over Pittsburgh Boiled down...all Super Bowls won by Miami, New England*, & Pittsburgh are the ones I'd want reversed more than any others. Good list. I agree with all of these except the Pitts-Dallas games (I always hated the Cowboys more, especially the year Drew Person pushed off), and Elway's teams (was so happy he beat Favre).
flomoe Posted January 30, 2012 Posted January 30, 2012 KC and Oakland in SBs I and II. Vikings in their last of the four they lost. Denver against Dallas when they had the Orange Crush defense. Any team that lost to Miami and N.E. in the SB. GO BILLS!!! Denver over Dallas in the late 70's would be my first pick and then probably Seattle over Pitt and then Arizona over Pitt.
EasternOHBillsFan Posted January 30, 2012 Posted January 30, 2012 The Washington Redskins in Super Bowl VII. EASY.
Jim in Anchorage Posted January 30, 2012 Posted January 30, 2012 Then perhaps a better answer would be Redskins over Dolphins in Superbowl VII. But personally I'd say Panthers over Patriots in XXXVIII. You're right, never thought of that. Then there would be no "perfect" Dolphins bragging for 40 years.
dpberr Posted January 30, 2012 Posted January 30, 2012 I would like a team to go undefeated before all the 1972 Dolphins players pass away so they can STHU. Further, I hope the team that does it isn't a "classic" powerhouse. It's just lightning in a bottle, one of a kind season that comes out of nowhere.
reddogblitz Posted January 30, 2012 Posted January 30, 2012 Seattle over Pittsburgh. they were robbed by piss poor officiating. This is my pick as well along with the 2 Stealers over Cowboys in the 70s. While the officiating in SB XL was horrible, 4 dropped passed by Jeremy Stevens, 2 missed FGs, and poor clock management at the end of each half didn't help either. I played on the Seahawks Drumline that year and we got to go the SB. My assessment right after the game as we were walking out still holds for me today after seeing the replay several times. Yes, the officiating was bad, but bottom line, we didn't play well enough to win.
