With 15 wins or more in the regular season, the Super Bowl cannot win?

This is one of the most widely circulated Super Bowl championship spells in the NFL. After the 1978 league restructuring, only two teams have completed such a feat, the San Francisco 49ers in the 1984 season and the Chicago Bears in the 1985 season. It has been 27 years since then that no team has broken such a curse.

It is worth mentioning that the 49ers in San Francisco in the 1984 season are also one of the strongest teams in history. The regular season lost to the Pittsburgh Steelers with a free kick in the sixth week, with 15 wins and 1 loss. The excellent record reached the playoffs, the divisional "21:10" beat the New York Giants, the Federation final "23: 0" defeated the Chicago Bears, and the Super Bowl "38:16" beat the Miami Dolphins. That was Joe Montana's second championship ring.

The Chicago Bears were more brutal the following year, with zero New York Giants in the divisional games and zero Los Angeles Rams in the finals of the Confederations. The Super Bowl made the biggest difference in the history of defeating the New England Patriots. The interesting indirect connection is that the 1985 Super Bowl was held at the Louisiana Superdome.

The Louisiana Superdome that year, which is now the Mercedes-Benz Superdome, is where the 2012 Super Bowl is held. Is this ... reincarnation?

Now the question is coming, can the San Francisco 49ers of the 2012 season break the curse? Joe Montana had reached the summit in the 1984 season, but it was 28 years ago. What kind of performance will this San Francisco 49er face in the face of such a long spell of this century? What will the ending be?

This will undoubtedly be another highlight of the Super Bowl this year.

In addition to the victory spell, there is a very, very magical spell in the league, even known as a curse: the MVP spell.

Simply put, regular season MVP winners will inevitably be unable to win the Super Bowl.

In the 2009 season, regular season MVP Indianapolis Pony Peyton Manning lost the Super Bowl to the New Orleans Saints.

In the 2007 season, regular season MVP New England Patriot Tom Brady lost the Super Bowl to the New York Giants.

In the 2002 season, the regular season MVP Oakland Raiders Rich-Gannon (Rich-Gannon) lost the Super Bowl to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.

In the 2001 season, regular season MVP St. Louis Rams Kurt Warner lost the Super Bowl to the New England Patriots.

In short, since the beginning of the new century, no player has been able to break such a curse. In addition to the above three seasons, the regular season MVP of other seasons has not even been able to board the Super Bowl stage. This is definitely not a curse. , But a curse!

Logically speaking, the regular season MVP is the best summary of the entire season, not just the individual performance of the players, but also the performance of the entire team. Otherwise, a team loses continuously and there is only one player. Flash, this can not make people feel the strength of this player. It can be simply considered that regular season MVP is a comprehensive consideration for players and teams.

But now, for the twelve consecutive regular season MVP teams have lost the Super Bowl? This is really ... strange.

The last time to break such a curse was the 1999 season, regular season MVP St. Louis Rams Kurt Warner, the Super Bowl defeated the Tennessee Titans, creating the Cinderella myth that lost the rookie!

Wait, it always feels weird.

Kurt-Warner, Lu Ke.

Lu Ke, Kurt Warner.

The experience of the two losing quarterbacks is similar. No one was interested in the draft. Afterwards, they successfully completed a strong counterattack in the roundabout and created their own glory. Last year's rookie season, Lu Ke was compared with Kurt in all aspects. Many people think that Lu Ke is replicating Kurt's miracle. Although Lu Ke failed to enter the Super Bowl in the rookie season, all The trajectory of the situation is still very close.

Now ... the all-season curse has been broken by the San Francisco 49ers; the regular season MVP curse, once lost to quarterback Kurt, has also been broken. Then it was Lu Ke's turn. Was it suggesting something?

In fact, the MVP spell of the regular season only appeared after the millennium, and its historical origins are far less heavy than the victory spell.

In the last century, the MVP spell of the regular season did not exist at all. Every player who won such a glory is bound to be the strongest person with the most outstanding strength and the best performance. The playoffs are also relatively popular, because super There are indeed a lot of games that the MVP of the regular season has lost in the single game system of the bowl, but in turn, there are a lot of games that the MVP of the regular season won the Super Bowl.

Denver Broncos running back Terrell-Davis (Terrell-Davis) and Green Bay Packers ’Brett Favre have both won the regular season MVP and reached the Super Bowl; -Montana and Steve Young also completed such feats in the 1989 and 1994 seasons, respectively.

But after entering the 21st century, the situation changed suddenly. Payton Manning won the regular season MVP four times, Tom Brady won the regular season MVP twice, and Aron Rogers also won the regular season in 2011. Game MVP, but these three elite quarterbacks in their regular season MVP season, the playoffs all collapse, which is really confusing.

Countless experts and coaches have worked hard to study the specific reasons, but in the end they can only figure out an outline.

First, the regular season MVP has chosen running back or quarterback for 26 consecutive years, which also means that the team's excellent record in the regular season relies heavily on MVP's own play, and enters the postseason. After the game and even the Super Bowl, they will inevitably become the target of the game. Either they will play a little under their own pressure, or the opponent will complete the deployment in a targeted manner, then losing will become inevitable.

In the 2002 season, Oakland Raiders quarterback Rick Cannon led his team into the Super Bowl, but facing the best defensive team in the history of the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, Cannon had only 10 interceptions in 16 games in the regular season. Five steals were sent in a single game at the Super Bowl, directly ruining the team's chance of winning.

In the 2003 season, Steve McNair of the Tennessee Titans and Peyton Manning of the Indianapolis Colts both won the regular season MVP, but the former wild card game was intercepted three times by the Baltimore Ravens, the latter was in the National League final He was intercepted four times by the targeted defense of the New England Patriots and intercepted four times.

MVP in the regular season can be said to be very popular, but at the same time it is also targeted. No defensive team coach will not conduct in-depth research and defense.

Second, the MVP awards in the regular season took into account the overall record and status of the team, but in the end it was still a personal award. On the Super Bowl stage, if the MVP teammates play abnormally, then he is also alone and helpless.

The most typical case is the 2006 season, running back LaDainian-Tomlinson (LaDainian-Tomlinson) led San Diego Lightning to play an excellent record of 14 wins and two losses, and achieved a home victory, won the top seed of the United States, The divisional game took home the challenge of the New England Patriots.

In this game, Tomlinson held the ball 23 times and ran out of 123 yards and two touchdowns, as well as 64 yards to catch the ball; At the same time, the defensive team also made three interceptions and one drop of Brady, But ... this is still not enough. Because last season, Drew Briss was disheartened to go to the New Orleans Saints, and Philip Rivers debuted as the main quarterback for the first time in his career.

Facing the first playoff game in his life, Rivers repeatedly tightened and wasted opportunities at critical moments. After the defense team intercepted Brady three times, Rivers appeared to drop the ball once and hesitated twice in the third gear. Unable to make a shot and lead to being sacked, the ball conversion caused by three interceptions is all wasted.

"21:24", San Diego Lightning lost to the New England Patriots with such a weak disadvantage, out of the division.

San Diego Lightning, who has not won the Super Bowl so far, missed the best chance of winning the team's history. Tomlinson also regretted that after the game ended, if the team did not let go of Drew Brees, it might have won that year.

Thirdly, it was bad luck and normal play on their own, but their opponents turned against the sky and the result could only be a sigh.

The 2010 regular season MVP was Tom Brady. The New England Patriots faced the New York Jets defensive team led by "Island King" Darrell Reeves in the division.

This pair of enemies in the same area is completely rooted, and there are no unexpected factors. However, in that divisional game, the Jets defensive group broke out completely, completely blocking Brady; even more incredible is the sophomore quarterback Mark. -Sanchez reported a sturdy record of three touchdowns at Gillette Stadium, even he himself could not believe it after the game.

In the regular season just a month ago, the Patriots once used the "45: 3" blood to wash the Jets, but the relationship between the two sides of the playoffs has reversed one by one. It can only be said that the New York Jets have opened. Regular season MVP is also helpless.

For various reasons, subjective and objective objects exist, even the most famous "Madden Game Cover Curse" of the league has once made an exception, but the "Regular Season MVP Curse" has always been the same, even for unbelievers. Will, inevitably sigh.

Madden-NFL (Madden-NFL) is a sports game that simulates American football, which is equivalent to FIFA online of football. This game cooperates with the NFL official and is known for its authenticity and data integrity. It has always occupied the sports category in the North American market. At the top of the game, Madden will announce the cover characters of the game next season during the offseason.

But since 2000, when the cover of the previous season's outstanding player was adopted as the cover, the curse was born: as long as the cover character is elected, the next season will inevitably begin to be unlucky, either the performance will drop significantly compared to the previous one, or Reimbursement for the entire season due to injury.

In 2003, Marshall-Faulk ended the season early due to injury; Ray Lewis ended the season early in 2005 due to injury, and so on. However, there are exceptions to this curse. In 2012, Calvin Johnson set a new record for the league's wide receiver single season with 1964 yards.

In other words, even the "Madden Game Curse" has exceptions, but the "Regular Season MVP Curse" has been 13 years old. What ...
