[QUOTE="scotscheese, post: 855559, member: 9400"] anything can happen thats my point, pros & cons It's not just because of the 49rs game this season, and I stated what i thought. and not everybody wants a bye/break in any sport. international breaks in football ccan either ruin a teams momentum, or be the perfect timer for teams to have a rest, and the same applies in the NFL. if against Minny and Detroit we play the closest to complete games we play this season, then that kind of momentum is hard to keep with a week off roughly 20% of superbowls have had a contender that came through the wildcard rounds, and 7 of those 11 have won the superbowl, 5 in the last 20 years, so it's not unheard of [SIZE=3][B]Wild Card Super Bowl champions[[URL='https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Wild_card_(sports)&action=edit§ion=9']edit[/URL]][/B][/SIZE] [LIST] [*][URL='https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1980_NFL_season']1980[/URL] [URL='https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1980_Oakland_Raiders_season']Oakland Raiders[/URL]–[URL='https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Super_Bowl_XV']Super Bowl XV[/URL] [*][URL='https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1997_NFL_season']1997[/URL] [URL='https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1997_Denver_Broncos_season']Denver Broncos[/URL]–[URL='https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Super_Bowl_XXXII']Super Bowl XXXII[/URL] [*][URL='https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2000_NFL_season']2000[/URL] [URL='https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2000_Baltimore_Ravens_season']Baltimore Ravens[/URL]–[URL='https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Super_Bowl_XXXV']Super Bowl XXXV[/URL] [*][URL='https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2005_NFL_season']2005[/URL] [URL='https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2005_Pittsburgh_Steelers_season']Pittsburgh Steelers[/URL]–[URL='https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Super_Bowl_XL']Super Bowl XL[/URL] [*][URL='https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2007_NFL_season']2007[/URL] [URL='https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2007_New_York_Giants_season']New York Giants[/URL]–[URL='https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Super_Bowl_XLII']Super Bowl XLII[/URL] [*][URL='https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2010_NFL_season']2010[/URL] [URL='https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2010_Green_Bay_Packers_season']Green Bay Packers[/URL]–[URL='https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Super_Bowl_XLV']Super Bowl XLV[/URL] [*][URL='https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2011_NFL_season']2011[/URL] [URL='https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2011_New_York_Giants_season']New York Giants[/URL]–[URL='https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Super_Bowl_XLVI']Super Bowl XLVI[/URL] [/LIST] [SIZE=3][B]Other Wild Card Super Bowl participants[[URL='https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Wild_card_(sports)&action=edit§ion=10']edit[/URL]][/B][/SIZE] [LIST] [*][URL='https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1975_NFL_season']1975[/URL] [URL='https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1975_Dallas_Cowboys_season']Dallas Cowboys[/URL]–[URL='https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Super_Bowl_X']Super Bowl X[/URL] [*][URL='https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1985_NFL_season']1985[/URL] [URL='https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1985_New_England_Patriots_season']New England Patriots[/URL]–[URL='https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Super_Bowl_XX']Super Bowl XX[/URL] [*][URL='https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1992_NFL_season']1992[/URL] [URL='https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1992_Buffalo_Bills_season']Buffalo Bills[/URL]–[URL='https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Super_Bowl_XXVII']Super Bowl XXVII[/URL] [*][URL='https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1999_NFL_season']1999[/URL] [URL='https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1999_Tennessee_Titans_season']Tennessee Titans[/URL]–[URL='https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Super_Bowl_XXXIV']Super Bowl XXXIV[/URL] [/LIST] [/QUOTE]
