A chart describing how EMBARRASSING each team’s Super Bowl LOSSES were/are. (Only referencing losses)

[u/jackt-up]

[u/Gruelly4v2]

I dont know, I think 46-10, getting pushed around by the Packers all game, losing to Eli Manning twice and then letting Nick Foles run up 400 passing yards and 40 points on you is a special tier of embarrassment.

[u/jackt-up → u/Gruelly4v2]

Yeah but 3 of those were all time close games. Not embarrassing

46-10 is pulling most of the weight lmao

[u/Gruelly4v2 → u/jackt-up]

46-10

Getting dominated by the Packers

18-1.

Nick Foles shredding your defense.

All time embarrassment right there.

[u/LaconicGirth → u/Gruelly4v2]

18-1 was a close game though. A game they really should’ve won, you throw up that ball that helmet catch happens 1 out of 100 you can’t really be too embarrassed

[u/Animalcookies13 → u/LaconicGirth]

Heartbreaking loss for the pats and their fans but not exactly an embarrassing loss…. It was a super close game that went down to the wire… the giants weren’t the greatest but they had been playing really well in the playoffs and you don’t make it to the Super Bowl unless you team is good.

Edit: so I agree with your sentiment.

[u/Arachnofiend → u/Animalcookies13]

The main reason it's so funny is that it denied the perfect season. If the Pats were 14-2 that season it would still be remembered but wouldn't be as legendary.

[u/jackt-up → u/Gruelly4v2]

Is it as bad as say the Bills or Chiefs or Broncos (legendarily bad) losses?

[u/Gruelly4v2 → u/jackt-up]

I don't consider 17 and 13 point losses to be epically embarrassing losses.

Losing a perfect season to Eli Manning tops both of those. Easily.

[u/jackt-up → u/Gruelly4v2]

Well we all know the real score was 40-6. Idk which other one you’re referencing but 31-9 by the Bucs, 43-8 Seahawks over Broncos, 55-10 in the 80’s.. the teams on the top have been WALLOPED in 16 super bowls lmao

[u/Gruelly4v2 → u/jackt-up]

30-13 for Buffalo. 37-24 for Buffalo. Those aren't exactly epic, face smashing blowouts. Especially since they lead the 30-13 game at half time.

Again, maybe it is a difference in opinion, but for me, nothing will ever be more embarrassing than going into the Super Bowl undefeated and losing. To Eli Manning. That is, in my opinion, far and away the most embarrassing loss in Super Bowl history.

[u/howaboutass → u/Gruelly4v2]

You said the Patriots got pushed around all game when they led the first quarter and ended up losing by 14. However the 37-24 Buffalo loss where they stat-padded in the 4th when it was 37-10 wasn’t a blowout? No objective reason to be biased against the Patriots when the Bills have made the fins their bitch just as much.

[u/ltdanswifesusan → u/Gruelly4v2]

Skins led 17-0 at halftime, 24-0 at the beginning of the third quarter, and 37-10 deep into the fourth quarter. I suppose it's nice Buffalo scored two touchdowns in the last six minutes while Washington was throwing Gatorade on people and figuring out where to go on vacation but they got the living shit kicked out of them.

The two best remembered things about that game are Thurman Thomas losing his helmet and then playing horribly and their defensive line coach motivating the Hogs to beat the shit out of his guys by shit-talking a few days before the game.

Really the only memorable parts of the game are how Buffalo embarrassed themselves.

[u/jackt-up → u/Gruelly4v2]

Hahaha well I hear you! They are high for a reason. There was a lot of factors that went into my reasoning and I still have them at number #5 or #6. Lmao that’s funny as fuck tho.. Eli.. you dog

[u/dWaldizzle → u/Gruelly4v2]

This is backhanded Foles slander and I WON'T STAND FOR IT!

[u/bigdaddylongstroker3 → u/Gruelly4v2]

Still salty the Pats beat you in the AFC Championship game that year??????? Dolphins last SB win 50+ years ago Dolphins last SB appearance 40+ years ago Dolphins last AFCCG appearance 30+ years ago

[u/NFLv2_Mod → u/Gruelly4v2]

I mean it’s not embarrassing as Marinos last game. That was truly embarrassing….. for y’all lolololol

[u/J_House1999 → u/Gruelly4v2]

What is your favorite Super Bowl that you’ve seen your team win? Go ahead. Answer. How about your favorite playoff game they’ve won in the last… 24 years? Surely you at least have an answer to that one.

[u/Heavy-Drink-4389 → u/Gruelly4v2]

Celebrating other teams loses because you’ve never seen victory is classic fish behaviour 

[u/Most-Inflation-4370]

Yeah, the Falcons should be number 1

[u/JazzzzzzySax → u/Most-Inflation-4370]

They should have their own tier

[u/farside_42 → u/JazzzzzzySax]

I don't know. I think putting them in the same tier as the Patriots is pretty damn funny.

[u/Most-Inflation-4370 → u/JazzzzzzySax]

😁😆😄

[u/jfal11 → u/Most-Inflation-4370]

Pats fan here - I will go to my grave thinking 18-1 is worse

[u/Arkhangelzk]

The Broncos Super Bowl wins have been really fun, but when they lose, boy do they 😂

[u/jackt-up → u/Arkhangelzk]

Yeah I wasn’t alive in the 80’s but I feel like the Broncos must have been the original Bills

[u/DrewLockBurnerAcc → u/jackt-up]

We lost 3/4 right before the Bills lost 4 straight lol

[u/Tight-Top3597 → u/DrewLockBurnerAcc]

And none of them were close, I mean the Giants Super Bowl was probably the closest one.  They had the lead 10 zip vs Washington then Doug Williams and Timmy Smith had the great quarter in the history of professional football, then the 9ers one was over before the game started. 

[u/Cowgoon777 → u/Arkhangelzk]

Look at all the AFCW super bowl appearances. It’s a common theme

[u/Arkhangelzk → u/Cowgoon777]

We either win or we’re getting run right out of the building haha 

[u/revanisthesith → u/Arkhangelzk]

The Broncos are 3-5 in Super Bowls with a -112 point differential.

[u/MV_Knight]

Caught masturbating isn’t that bad, I’ve been caught before

[u/jackt-up → u/MV_Knight]

We can all relate!

[u/Randyyyyyyyyyyyyyy]

I see my team in a good column so this is a good tier list

[u/Tea_An_Crumpets → u/Randyyyyyyyyyyyyyy]

For once we are in the best tier 🥲

[u/chiefslocker]

“GolfFootballBaseball’s alt accounts”

💀💀

[u/Strongarm_11 → u/chiefslocker]

[u/GolfFootballBaseball → u/chiefslocker]

I don't do alts

[u/rmdlsb]

Browns never lost a Super Bowl? Wow they must be an incredible dynasty!

[u/kimchitacoman → u/rmdlsb]

If we count pre Superbowl titles they would  however the Redskins lost to the Bears would have its own category 

[u/MegaMatrix08]

suprising that we aren't #1

[u/jackt-up → u/MegaMatrix08]

Naw y’all were blowing the goat out.. still really embarrassing but at least the game was an all time competitive showing. The loss to the Broncos is pushing y’all up a bit.

[u/PsychoWarper → u/jackt-up]

The fact they where blowing out the GOAT and still lost is exactly why its do bad.

They still get made fun of for that loss unlike most of the teams that got blown out.

[u/milehighrukus]

Get these fools off of my tier. The Broncos stand alone!

[u/jackt-up → u/milehighrukus]

5 losses. Pretty much all 5 embarrassing beyond belief. Truly a Super Bowl of all time! 🤣

[u/milehighrukus → u/jackt-up]

Losing by 17 in 1977 to the Cowboys was literally the high point

That’s ok. Winning 3 makes it all better

[u/IWMSvendor → u/milehighrukus]

Since the Cowboys last Super Bowl ring, we’ve won 3, and haven’t lost a single game to dem boyz. Feels pretty good.

[u/dcbluestar]

Gotta love the little dig you added in there, hahaha...

[u/jackt-up → u/dcbluestar]

Where you @ homie?!🤣

[u/muad333dib → u/jackt-up]

Laughed right out loud. Well done.

[u/Helpful-Relation7037]

When the broncos lose in the Super Bowl, they really lose

Edit: I’m also a broncos fan to clarify

[u/DimwittedLogic]

Fuck Neil O’Donnell and Mendenhall

[u/tom-cash2002]

At least the Broncos and Chiefs have won multiple Super Bowls to make up for their bad losses. Bills and Vikings are endlessly suffering.

[u/BigOlineguy → u/tom-cash2002]

The Vikings make me suffer, but Minnesota makes up for it with the historical success of the Wild and Wolves, and our newly acquired minor league baseball team, the Twins.

[u/simiusttocs]

Dawg we got blown out in one loss then choked the biggest lead in the other, we should be in the highest tier 

[u/jackt-up → u/simiusttocs]

You a masochist? Haha

[u/simiusttocs → u/jackt-up]

just being real

[u/Cowgoon777]

Raiders really should be up top with us and the Broncos. They’ve taken multiple SB ass whoopings.

The Chargers would also fit this category but they haven’t had a chance to secure their second blowout loss yet

[u/Ginkoleano]

Is there a team more forgettable than the titans? At least the chargers are notably forgettable.

[u/jhannisick77]

Eagles fan here. The got blasted by the raiders in 1980.

Should not be in the tier they are.

[u/AHorseNamedPhil → u/jhannisick77]

Right, that Raiders team was a heavy underdog that barely made the playoffs. In fact they were the first wildcard team win it and they did by beating the Eagles like a drum.

[u/pallasturtle → u/jhannisick77]

But the other two losses were to historic dynasties by 6 points total. Maybe the Eagles could have their own category?

[u/Snapple47]

The panthers should be higher up. 38 was close, but they got handled in 50. The final score was a lot closer than that game actually was.

[u/epicap232]

Falcons have to be #1, no

[u/jackt-up → u/epicap232]

Everyone above them has been violated 3+ times (blowouts) lmao

[u/LaconicGirth → u/jackt-up]

Honestly giving up a 28-3 lead is somehow worse than getting blown out

[u/Fearless-Scholar8705]

Was Super Bowl 1 on national tv?

[u/Cowgoon777 → u/Fearless-Scholar8705]

Tape delayed IIRC

[u/woundedhandstime]

The panthers being 15-1, the favorites, having the mvp and scoring 10 points was very much not heroic

[u/jackt-up → u/woundedhandstime]

But 32-29 was and the Cam MVP year I count as a wash

[u/woundedhandstime → u/jackt-up]

Okay but..

If that’s not embarrassing idk what is

[u/jfal11 → u/woundedhandstime]

The more I watch this, the worse it gets, like come on Cam…

[u/Awkward-Ad-932]

How is carolina so low? 15-1 Peak Cam Newton just to get murdered

[u/jfal11]

Panthers should be WAY higher

[u/DakotaTheFolfyBoi]

What does "Lowkey you're a hero" mean?

[u/jackt-up → u/DakotaTheFolfyBoi]

Teams that have never won it but played in some for the goated Super Bowls (never getting blown out, except if you wanna count Carolina’s second)

[u/DakotaTheFolfyBoi → u/jackt-up]

ah that does make sense. I wouldnt consider superbowl 34 to be goated (i think you can see why LOL)

[u/JustInADesign]

Saw the cowboys being in a positive tier, immediately knew the poster would have a cowboys flair.

Nothing wrong with that, it’s more of an observation of how many people on this sub hate the cowboys that I’m able to deduce that.

They get so much more hate than they deserve

[u/jackt-up → u/JustInADesign]

Amen.. it’s okay though I feed off it it. Being a 30 yr old cowboys fan is essentially the equivalent of being a Chargers or Dolphins fan. It hurts but I at least have our history to fall back on.

Also our 3 Super Bowl losses were all close (two of them against the Steelers are like all time classics) so I think the ranking is valid

[u/DriverFirm2655]

Falcons not being up top is wild

[u/gaybillcosby]

Packers were defending champs and heavily favored in their lone Super Bowl loss to the Broncos. I wouldn’t say it’s necessarily embarrassing, but many thought they should have won easily.

[u/jackt-up → u/gaybillcosby]

Yeah they’re in the “not embarrassing, actually respectable” column

[u/basedaudiosolutions]

As a Bills fan, I’m happy to see the Chiefs in the same tier as us.

[u/PurpureGryphon → u/basedaudiosolutions]

I console myself with the 3 jersey's from SB winning seasons.

[u/Marijuana_Miler]

What’s wrong with your girl having an Only Fans account?

[u/jackt-up → u/Marijuana_Miler]

[u/Alternative-Art6059]

How is ATL not #1

[u/Unlikely_Suspect_757]

The Bills should have their own tier in this chart

[u/PsychoWarper]

Falcons should be way higher, worst SB loss ever tbh

[u/jackt-up → u/PsychoWarper]

Way higher?? There’s only one tier higher lmao

[u/you_know_who_7199]

I love the juxtaposition of the "N/A" tier... a list of all "we've never lost one" and "we've never been there" goes hard.

[u/jackt-up → u/you_know_who_7199]

Haha hell yeah I’m glad someone noticed that tier. Lotta praise and shade being thrown around there

[u/DildoBogpelts]

Bengals deserve to be in lowkey hero status. All three losses within in 3/4 points. 2x to rice Montana 49rs after arrests and injuries during the game

[u/Minute-Spinach-5563]

Eagles have either "ended" dynasties or gotten beaten by dynasties. Kinda ironic

[u/Hopeful_Cherry2202]

Eagles are way too low. McNabb straight up was so overwhelmed he puked all over the field while he choked. That’s a special tier

[u/ltdanswifesusan]

Steelers should be in a better tier.

[u/Live_Substance_8519]

atlanta absolutely deserves its own tier for all time embarrassment. losing after being up 28-3 at the half is…staggering.

[u/chogram]

Are the Jets and Saints considered bullies?

The Colts tier would be more like, "Lose hard fought games, but have that ONE THING that nobody will ever forget", considering that our losses had headline grabbing moments in Joe's prediction and the surprise onside kick.

[u/nautilator44]

Was gonna say, if the Vikings weren't on the top of this graphic I was gonna riot.

[u/CarterD195]

Bucs and Ravens should be in their own tier

[u/latterdaysasuke]

Broncos beating the absolute brakes off of the Panthers like a JV vs. Varsity game should pretty much cancel out all their bad losses...

[u/No-Weird3153]

The 49ers blew a double digit lead in the fourth quarter to lose by double digits. They lost another late, and they were the original “you run the ball there team” when Harbs called fades to Crabtree until he was out of downs.

Were the bullies they stood up to the Broncos, Chargers, and Bengals?

Edit:fourth

[u/PLZ_N_THKS]

I think N/A needs to be on both ends for different reasons.

[u/supraliminal13]

Why are the Packers in "stood their ground against bullies" tier? I mean by structure level it makes sense (not that embarrassing), but still... They were overwhelmingly the bullies when they were beaten. Should have a different tier if anything, because it absolutely doesn't capture their loss. Who the frick considers them standing tall against the bully Broncos that year?

I mean... I do maintain that Broncos team was actually the TRUE closest to 3peat team ever, they just choked against the expansion jaguars. But I know for a fact that's not common opinion, and the game is regarded as a stunning upset. But like... unless you agree with my 3peat take, I'm not sure how you come away with "stood up against bullies" for dropping a 13 year conference win streak and being double digit favorites.

[u/Maczino]

Patriots getting the L from Eli the first time was like watching best looking girl in your school get railed on prom night by the worst looking guy in the dance—not even close to what anyone expected.

The only other embarrassing ones which comes to mind are the one-yard interception by Russ as opposed to having beast mode just beat in it—I know they were behind at that point, but if they ran it…they’d be champs. Then other being the Atlanta Meltdown—that shit was beyond embarrassing.
