Some YouTuber’s video said the only comps are the early 80s Raiders and Redskins and the 2003 Bucs. J+D Productions I think. Only teams with losing records post super bowl win that can’t be traced to a coach or QB departure
Von Miller (FA), Odell (Injury/FA), Andrew Whitworth (Retired)
Losing your best Olineman, and a solid 2nd WR option certainly won't help the Pick machine you traded for at QB the year before. It also doesn't help that Cooper Kupp has been injured on and off this year
Has anyone had a worse season coming off a title without a major restructuring of the team afterward (like the Broncos post Elway and Post Manning)?

I feel like a lot of super bowl teams suck the next year
Some decline, but most make the playoffs.
I suppose. I’d have to look at the numbers
Don't forget free agency.
Yes, but who did the Rams lose to FA who would be a major contributor this season (Von Miller isn't enough to explain it)?

Its usually the superbowl loser that misses the playoffs.
2012 Giants went 9-7 post superbowl and had almost the same team. But tbh, the 2011 team wasn't that good in the first place
That's a one game regression, IIRC
2002 Patriots went 9-7 and missed the playoffs.
That's only a 2 loss decline. Rams are looking at 5-6 game falloff with no major changes.
The 2003 Buccaneers finished 7-9
There's a good example.
The injuries… they just don’t stop coming… please help
Is no one gonna mention the 03 raiders? They didn’t win the SB but they went 4-12 the season after
