The Last Season Each Team Won A Super Bowl

[ChronicCowboy]

What’s sorta crazy is of the 13 franchises that have won the Super Bowl since we last won one, 9 of them have won multiple Super Bowls. Free agency really hasn’t created parity when it comes to championships.

Actually I was wrong….of the 13 teams that have won a SB since we last won one, 10 have won multiple. Only Seattle, Indy and New Orleans have only won 1, and Seattle “should” have multiple as well.

It's difficult for an amateur GM going up against professionals.

I'm only concerned with the Dallas Cowboys Super Bowl drought.
I don't care what happens with the other 31 teams.

 

[Pass2Run]

Notice, no one remembers the Super Bowl losing teams. In other words, we need to win it to erase the stink...lol

I try explaining that the odds are 1 in 32 every year, which means each team has a statistical probability of about 3.1 percent each year to win the Super Bowl. We won 3 in 4 years. But we are about due.

 

[Pass2Run]

People would make you think Cowboys are the only team…sure is a lot of teams behind us including San Fran….

Our fans just whine louder.

 

[fivetwos]

why.... so it can push a naarative. Fact is what is shown. 18 teams are behind Dallas in length of no title. EIGHTEEN!

The OP itself doesn’t push a narrative?

 

[JBS]

How many teams have at least gone?

How many teams at least to a conf Champ game?

Sigh

None of which are relevant to what I said

“Why are the Cowboys the only team to catch (bleep)?”

Have they heard the way people talk about the Jets and Browns? lol…

And it really should be about making the Super Bowl, not just winning it. The old adage “Any given Sunday” also applies to the Super Bowl. I don’t see any reason to dismiss franchises that made it to the big game but didn’t win it. Being good enough to be one of the last 2 teams standing is absolutely an accomplishment worth savoring and appreciating, and would be something the entire fan base loves experiencing—at least up until the point a loss feels inevitable.

 

[Boyzmamacita]

I can't wait until the Cowboys win it again. It will be indescribably gratifying to see all the haters shut the hell up. I might enjoy that as much as the accomplishment itself.

I dunno, what's worse.....never winning a Super Bowl or winning one so long ago that you can still remember what it felt like?

I think the greatest disappointment isn't the fact that it has been 30 years. For me, the greatest disappointment was the fact that the Cowboys had placed themselves in a position where they had a strong enough team to contend and got brushed aside early.

This happened on several occasions. The Cowboys were strong enough to go deep in 2009, 2014, 2016, 2019, 2021, and 2023.

Those teams were positioned just as well as the teams in the 70's and even 90's.

In some cases, they were the 1st or 2nd seed. You can't expect them to "seize the moment" every time but you shouldn't be disappointed every time.

At the very least there should have been a couple of times where they made it to the conference championship game.

In 1980 the Cowboys reached the NFC championship game with the 17th ranked defense. They went to the NFC championship game again the following season with the 20th ranked defense.

There have been four occasions in Cowboys history where they had the #1 offense in both scoring and yardage. Two of them have been in the last five years.

There have been 16 seasons in Cowboys history in which they were a top 3 team in point differential.

5 - Cowboys won the SB
1 - Lost the SB
5 - Lost conference championship
3 - Lost division playoff game
2 - Lost wildcard game

The two most recent, 2021 and 2023, they lost the wildcard game.

We can't blame the quarterbacks for this. None of them have been 30-year starters. This is failure at the very top.

At least other teams have the luxury of purging their incompetent management teams and going in a different direction. We have to pray that, someday, the Cowboys owner will draw the same conclusion as that of 99.9% of NFL fans and media.

I do mean "pray" because that would take a miracle.

Misery loves company. For all of their loaded teams over the years, the 49ers have a one year longer Super Bowl drought than the Cowboys.

[CowboysLakerBamaFan]

who cares.... the bears have gotten there, and they suck. Id take out last 20 years over th ebears past 20 years, regardless of their lucky *** SB appearance.

Ha....the Bears have won 2 divisional games in past 20 ears, we've won zero. They've been to 2 NFC Champ games. We've been to zero. They've been to a SuperBowl. We, obviously, have been to zero.

Geez....people REALLY love garbage time stats....if they'd take 20 years of feasting on cupcakes and scarfing up garbage time stats over the Bears 2 NFC Champ Games and 1 SuperBowl. We've had NOTHING as exciting as that.

But hey.. we're the Kings of June. June...the season of growling. Nobody can beat us in June.

 

[CWR]

it'll happen...eventually.

That oblong ball has to bounce our way eventually, right????

 

[PA Cowboy Fan]

Now how many of these teams haven't been in even a championship game the longest? Can't win a sb when you Don't even show up in the playoffs.

 

[DanTanna]

It all goes back to the GM. Which of those teams would have KEPT their GM after Ryan Leaf, Quincy Carter, RoyWilliams trade,Taco,Mazi,Carpenter,GallowayTrade,Weeden... ?
None would have survived. Hence we are here now.

Nice post, although no mention of 2007, which was probably their best team since the last SB winner. Built while Parcells put Jerry in time out, of course.

Yes, part of the problem is that even their best seasons have ended abruptly and unexpectedly. Tough to look back on them and not feel that pain.

They found new ways to lose, and didn’t bother to show up at times.

They also never bothered to build on success, and try to get over the hump… they went with complacency instead.

What’s sad however is how many teams tore down their teams completely, retooled, and got back to the SB or even won it…since we even made it to a CF game.

Exactly. The Eagles have built 3 different teams that have made it to the Super Bowl, including winning in it 2 times during that time span.

Jerry is a disgrace and should sell the team immediately. Any great legacy that he originally had has been completely destroyed over the past 30 years. He will always be seen as a narcissistic failure.
