Worst SuperBowl Champion of All-Time?

The Steelers of Superbowl XL (the one against the Seahawks).

No contest in my mind about that.

Probably the 1990 Giants. They won that game with a superior gameplan, but their talent level was nowhere near the Bills'.monkeytoes61

Yeah that'd be my number 2. But at least they had the excuse of having their starting QB injured.

Yeah, I gotta agree with the Steelers over the Seahawks. That was a game I didn't have a team I was rooting for until the first couple of blatently obvious calls went the Steelers way. That Super Bowl win should come with a big *.

have mostly moved on from the whole thing, with one exception. It still gets my blood boiling when Steeler fans come out and say that the game was called fairly. I could name three or fours significant plays from memory that were wrong, yet Steeler fans continue to be ignorant about the whole thing. Seattle could have won, but didn't play well enough when it mattered. But to say that the game was called accurately is wrong.monkeytoes61

I remember the ridiculous dropped passes by Jeramy Stevens (their TE). If it wasnt for him, they could've won I thought.

For the team that was actually on the field I'd have to go with the most recent Super Bowl winning Packers.. between them and the Steelers it was a game between two weak teams that both would of qualified as the worst ever in my book.

Are you kidding me?

The Steelers had the best defense in the league and the Packers had the 2nd best defense. Rodgers was playing out off his mind against the Falcons and the Steelers, as he was already considered as a Top Tier QB at this point. And Roethlisberger is a good QB too with help from guys like Mendenhall, Heath Miller, Mike Wallace and Hines Ward. Same for Rodgers, with Jennings and Driver, although not as much considering he lost his star TE and good running back as Ryan Grant.

They had high rankings in a down year for the league, I was left quite underwhelmed by both teams and the game itself. PLENTY of past champions would have handled both those teams in the states they played the game quite easily.

The 2005 Steelers allowed more points and scored less points than the 2010 Packers. Chew on that.

:lol: "Chew on that"? There's someone who isn't jumping on the your 2005 Steeler boat because they just saw a worse Steeler team play against a 10-6 Packer team just 6 years later, deal with it.

Yeah, when Stevens finally catches it, they call it back. That's when Madden and Michaels watched the replay and had to say it was a horrible call. I loved it because it was so bad even the announcers had to point it out. Ugh... So lame.

In answer to the topic I don't think there is a worst team to have won the Super Bowl. They all managed to come out the sole survivor of a single elimination playoff format featuring the top teams in the league. To manage that you have to be a good team.

They did win 3 on the road to get there. No analyst gave them a chance and week after week they kept rolling.

Second_Rook

They won against the Bengals by injuring Palmer early on. And because of Vanderjagt choking in the Colts game. And anyway, its besides the point. The better team doesnt always win. The Giants over the Patriots SuperBowl was a blatant example of it. We're not arguing they stole the Super Bowl, although you could argue they got very lucky.

Definitely every single team except my Eagles.

Okay then, though I wasn't around at the time I would think that the Joe Namath Jets have to be one of the worst. I mean they had a bad quarterback who became a legend because of a sound byte. Really you will never see somebody with such atrocious career numbers in the Hall again.

Second_Rook

Saying Joe Namath was bad is an atrocious stretch. But yeah, he shouldn't be in the Hall of Fame.

Yes, and I'm not sure what Rook is talking about. If I remember correctly, Pittsburgh was favored in that game.monkeytoes61

Second_Rook

Compare it to the stats of QBs of his era. They're decent.

Again I don't think so, to me a guy who threw more picks than TDs in 11/13seasons and completed less than 50% of his passes in 7/13 seasons isn't good regardless of the era. Clearly we have different thoughts on this that probably won't be meeting in the middle so I'm gonna go ahead and let it go. Second_Rook

Your opinion cant have any value anything if you're willing to disregard era's.

The booth review that went well over the 90 second limit comes to mind.

Easily 2005 Steelers. Awful game, awful officiating. I am not Seattle fan and it even gets me mad, only because I know two guys who are steelers fans and god they are annoying. The way Steeler nation treats that game is an absolute farce.

I'm going to have to say.... 07 Giants. That one will never heal...

Those Giants because they won with Eli.

They had a defense that dominated the most prolific offense of all-time. And Eli is not a bad QB at all. I'd put him in the lower end of my Top 10 QBs in the NFL.
