JayOzOne Posted September 22, 2017 Share Posted September 22, 2017 I love this. I'm tired of people yammering about cliches and glad to hear someone finally put thought into his analysis. Peter King and Pete Prisco both wrote similar things about how we're moving past LI, but this is the first time I've seen someone detail it on film.

vel Posted September 22, 2017 Share Posted September 22, 2017 The funniest thing is they only speak about the "SB Hangover" because they think the Panthers had one. It wasn't a hangover, it was their team coming back to earth. Everybody had career years. If you look at the list he shows, every one of the last SB losers before Carolina went back. Why? Because they had good teams, not fluky one off seasons like Carolina. NE and SF went back to the Championship games their years. Nobody wants to talk about that. Both were within one play of going back to the SB. I doubt losing the SB the previous year was why they didn't go back. Lazy journalism is harping on 28-3 over and over again. Get over it. The players said they did all offseason but most didn't want to believe it because they had stories in their drafts ready to submit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dem Birds Posted September 22, 2017 Share Posted September 22, 2017 I never for one second believed there would be a hangover. Not the next day and not at kick off week one. Dan Quinn is too good for that. Matt Ryan is too good for that. Julio Jones is too good for that. This team is built to hold each other accountable and I know the leaders on this team are going to do just that. That as much as anything was why Carolina fell off. Cam Newton can't handle adversity. Matt Ryan thrives in it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Most of the teams on the list won 10 or more games following their Super Bowl loss. Several won 12 games and lost in the Conference Championship Game. It's extremely difficult to make back-to-back Super Bowls. A rare feat indeed...so the fact that most Super Bowl losers don't return to the SB the following year is not indicative of a mythical hangover. It simply shows how hard reaching a SB is.

rugger8 Posted September 22, 2017 Share Posted September 22, 2017 Most of the Superb Owl hangovers are due to players leaving in free agency. In our case, we have our core under contract, and the same team as last year. To be honest- we were ahead of schedule getting there last year, with all the rookies we had. Those guys are now a year more experienced. There's no rational reason for a hangover, unless you believe in luck and voodoo. This guy said nice things to hear, but I don't think taking anything 'head on' has anything to do with it. Our team stayed in tact. That's it.

Tryonis Posted September 22, 2017 Share Posted September 22, 2017 We may have "over achieved" last year but we was the better team in the SB, i think it was clear we outmatched them and we failed to close the game. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kschreck Posted September 22, 2017 Share Posted September 22, 2017 It's nice to see someone actually put some time and thought into a piece about this years team. So many seem to be reusing the same nonsense others have put out there. Such a lack of original thought and laziness out there these days.
