This is the second thread I've seen implying that going 0-16 will result in not winning the Superbowl.
I simply cannot see how the two are related, except that winning 16 games means the team is very very good and is therefore MORE likely to win.
'Crime, going 0-16 will DEFINITELY result in not winning the Super Bowl. I can pretty much guarantee that!

In fact, it's so far down on my list that sometimes I wonder if we're all either stupid or mad. Maybe we've been drugged. This stuff is small potatoes compared to real life.
Then I hear, "But this is to make us forget about real life, that's the point!"
And I say, "You cannot escape real life by running to sports, like an ostrich with its head in the ground, you can only botch it, mangle it, and turn it into a farce by not taking care of your business."
Strange talk for a guy who have been a member less than 3 months and has almost 700 posts. How do you have the time to post when you wring your hands and weep about the state of teh world 24/7?
Me? I say screw the outside world for a few hours a day.
Sports help us escape from the real world, as do books, movies, hiking, video games, and casual sex with super models. (I'm only guessing about the last one, but I'm pretty sure it's right.)

Seriously, enough with these topics.
We get it, you’re all going with the conservative “Let’s go 14-2 and get home field advantage approach”
This season transcends just another Super Bowl season, we are trying to establish ourselves as the best team of all-time. But you’d all be just swell with a loss if it were to happen?
Embrace the moment, we’re 11-0 with a margin of victory over 20. You want 16-0 and you want the Super Bowl. At this point my expectations have been raised so high that if we were to lose this season I’d be crushed.
I absolutely do not have the “16-0 would be nice, but hey if we lose whatever” mind state right now. I’m hungry for 16-0, I can almost taste it.

Yup, it's right. Trust me.

Totally agree w/this. This season is about 19-0 right now.

When discussing greatest teams ever, near the top:
18-1 1985 Bears
Much later in the conversation (if included at all):
17-0 1972 Dolphins
Tells you all you need to know about what gets you a place in history. Unbeaten just gets you mentioned with the '72 Fins. Not a crew I care to hang with. Win the title and leave destruction in your wake...you get to hang with the Bears and 9ers great teams. Much better company.
The Dolphins WERE a much worse team. But they are always included in the greatest ever discussion (with far superior teams) solely on the basis of their perfect season.
16-0 counts for a lot.
I'd trade 19-0 (including one superbowl) for two superbowls in a heart beat.
Of course 18-1 would be humiliating. For a very long time, people would talk about the great team that couldn't get it done. I'd rather be 17-2 than 18-1.
