It's frustrating too because you look at a lot of Vikings teams over the years, those that made it to the Superbowl or otherwise, and they're legitimately good teams. Sometimes you see a team make it to the Superbowl or NFC Championship and they were playing WAY above their head as a team. Vikings arent those teams historically, which makes it all the more frustrating. They're the ultimate team example in the age old "1 good run with years of irrelevance vs consistently competitive but never winning a title."
absolutely. how can you tell a player when you go get the interception at the end of the game, go down, and it actually happens. And the player refuses to go down and loses the ball. That's gotta be snake bitten.
A friend of mine was the starting middle linebacker for the Minnesota Vikings in Super Bowl IV. His name is Lonnie ( Sam ) Warwick. He has told the story about the Vikings lining up for the national anthem prior to the game. A flock of pigeons flying overhead proceeded to dump all over the Vikings.
@@bwill613 I thought Kotite looked like a fantasy football guru who had managed to get a job with a pro football team (the Jets seem desparate enough to do this).
Being from Kansas City, and not being a Chiefs fan, the only thing that was holding the Chiefs back was not having a franchise quarterback. God bless them that they have Mahomes
You have to wonder what on earth was the Bengals were thinking when they passed on Bill Walsh. That has to be the biggest blunder in franchise history.
The Saints have too poor a history, their success in the past decade isn't enough to overcome it. Plus, the playoffs haven't been their friend of late.
Roberto Lopez eh, lions have it worse. Can’t complain about one of the top NFC teams that just doesn’t sound right. I’d rather have the lions at least make it to the playoffs and be a top NFC team, then get cheated out of 90% of their games.
A couple of things I'm surprised weren't mentioned in the segment about the Lions: They were the NFL's first-ever wildcard playoff team (1970), and they lost 5-0 - FIVE to NOTHING - to the Cowboys. And, of course, they are the only team to have had a player die on the field during a game, Chuck Hughes.
Patrick Mahomes is the snake repellent. They’re back. 1 Super Bowl victory in 50 years since ‘69 but now 3 appearances with a 2-1 record since Patrick Mahomes was drafted.
As a Chiefs fan, it straight up felt like a curse was lifted when they actually moved up in the draft to take a QB first round for the first time since 1983. We had so many elite teams go one and done. So glad the curse is over!
All these teams listed have never won a superbowl but the jets but that was super bowl 3 with Joe namath so yeah pretty much if you haven't won a super bowl in that long or you never won one you definitely qualify for this list
This list needs updated now that the Eagles, Saints, and Chiefs have won. In my mind: 10. Titans 9. Chargers 8. Jets 7. Cardinals 6. Falcons 5. Vikings 4. Bengals 3. Bills 2. Lions 1. Browns
Nah, Redskins should be number one. Every quality player we get either gets hurt, underperforms, or leaves. We haven't sniffed a deep playoff run in years.
After they won the Super Bowl in 2009, the Saints have become snake-bitten all over again. In the 2010s, they have suffered some of the most agonizing playoff defeats in NFL history one after the other. I call it karma for Bounty-gate.
Yeah, they should definitely be top 3. Two teams ranked ahead of them had won a SB before this video was made. Two more have since then. It should be Vikings #1, since they're clearly the team that's been good the most times without ever winning. By far the best winning record of any team that hasn't won a SB, and tied with the Bills for 4 SB losses. Bills should probably be 2, although you could make a case for the Chargers, who have the second best win-loss record of any team to never win a SB, yet somehow don't make this list. Those should be the top 3, the only other one I could see competing with them is the Browns.
7:25 the absolutely best 10 seconds. The delivery was letter perfect and completely true, and the authenticity almost cracked the glass on my phone screen.
YAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!! BROWNIES! NUMBER ONE!!! WOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Look, when your team is the Browns, you take every little thing you can find to celebrate. Sure, they suck - but at least they suck worse than the entire rest of the league, COMBINED!!!!!
@Hector Rodriguez The Lions? I am a Browns fan - speak to me not of these "Lions". Since the Browns were Reanimated (tm) in 1999, their win/loss/tied percentages are 30%/69%/0.3%. The Lions, over the same period, have win/loss/tied percentages of 36%/63%/0.3%. CLEARLY, the Browns are the worse franchise. And since Fearless Leader (Jimmy "The Smartest Man In Football" Haslam) bought the franchise in 2012 (fun fact: the word "franchise" means "right to screw things up" in Haslam-ese, the native language of the brains-in-idle rich) the Browns have actually gotten worse (tough to believe, amiright?) with a win/loss/tied percentage of 26%/73%/0.7%. On the other hand, over that same time period the Lions have actually improved, showing a win/loss/tie percentage of 44%/54%/0.7%. Sorry (?) Lions fans - the Browns are demonstrably worse. WE have the worst record, WE have the dumbest owner, WE HAVE IT WORSE! NUMBERS DON'T LIE! Pray for us... :-(
Jarvis Family def over those timeframes, but the lions haven’t had anything but a single playoff win in 50+ years. I mean, it feels weird to defend that “my team is worse than yours” 😂 at least y’all are pretty true to your team!
@@markdavis3627 The Browns shall rise again, like a phoenix from the ashes! And, of course, *before* they rise they'll relocate to Bumphuuuk, Idaho where their name will be changed to the Taters and they'll win the SuperBowl in their third year there, while Cleveland will be "awarded" (fun fact: in NFL-speak the word "awarded" means the same as the plain, simple English word "screwed") an expansion franchise which will subsequently go for 30+ years without a playoff win. (We're cursed! We're just funking CURSED!!!!!)
My dad actually went to the freezer bowl in Cincinnati back in 81. But him and his brother left at around the third quarter because they were too cold.
0:38 The Buffalo Bills. 4:00 The Kansas City Chiefs*. 7:18 The New York Jets. 12:20 The Detroit Lions. 15:35 The New Orleans Saints*. 18:56 The Houston Oilers/Tennessee Titans. 22:11 The Philadelphia Eagles*. 26:40 The Cincinnati Bengals. 31:23 The Minnesota Vikings. 35:25 The Cleveland Browns. *=No longer snakebit. Won a Super Bowl already.
@@dinoman4655That was because of Scott Pioli who's one of Bill Belichick's front-office disciples who traded and paid a big ball of money to Tom Brady's disciple, Matt Cassel.
Saints, Oilers/Titans, Eagles, Falcons, Vikings, Browns fans: Allow us to introduce ourselves But seriously though, the Lions still have the same snake attached to them for the past 60 years.
Hardcore Hazza haha i agree but also.. at least the saints, eagles, won a SB, titans and vikings had Farve but didn’t do much but make it to the final 4 in the playoffs so at least they can say that, at least the titans have been in the playoffs the last couple years going 9-7, but detroit compared to all these teams hasn’t won a playoff game since 1991... so i mean it’s debatable, lions haven’t done anything ever pretty much (not trying to offend you or anything but just making my case)
@Harry Engel The truth is everyone seems to be ouerlooking the Cleveland Browns when you talk about snakebitten franchises and another one that you might be able to add to the list would be since the late 1990s the Dallas cowboys!. Even though they made the playoffs many times they haven't won a playoff game since 1995!.
As a Bengals fan since the 80s I feel fortunate to have witnessed three Super Bowls. We have our best team right now. The Jets, Browns, Lions, Chargers... have a much worse history and worse luck than the Bengals. The Patriots and the Buccaneers were some of the worst franchises until they won it all.
Bears too. Cutler and Forte getting hurt in 2011 when they were a dark horse Super Bowl contender. The Double Doink in 2018 when they were a Super Bowl contender.
I would agree and say that the Atlanta Falcons should be on the list after a 28 to 3 lead In Super Bowl 51 but the New England Patriots made the biggest comeback in Super Bowl history
When it comes to the Browns snakebite in 80's they always mention the Mike Davis interception in 1980,the Drive,the Fumble,but they never mention an equally devastating loss the year before "The Drive"the 1985 Divisional playoffs against Miami when they dominated and took a 21-3 lead and Miami looked dead but somehow the Fins came back and beat them 24-21
Boy you know this list is old when the eagles are this high and the chiefs are still on the list. Think falcons probably take the chiefs spot. Even back then though I can't believe how highly ranked the saints are. What bonehead decided that?
Yeah, they even "updated" it once to add the Saints winning it all, but I think with the Chiefs and Eagles is the same way they said it in the update: "Even if they won it all, it doesn't erase all the futility before." I think we can all agree that the Browns are the #1 Snakebit NFL Franchise.
I think the Saints would still deserve to stay if they updated this list, even with a Super Bowl win; look at what's happened to them in the decade since then. 2010, 2011, 2017, 2018, 2019; all really bad playoff losses. And in between, from 2012-16, the Saints defense was record-breakingly bad; you look up any defensive stat and there will more than likely be at least one mid-2010's Saints team toward the very bottom. They've been through some hell.
I'm originally a "SoCal" boy. My mom is from L.A. and my dad is from San Diego. I was a Chargers fan for many years. They had success in the AFL (before the merger) in the 60s - I believe they won at least one if not multiple AFL championships. Something changed indefinitely for the worse after the 60s. My mom had the adage, which she may have invented, that "The Chargers always find a way to lose." That always seemed to be the case when they were my favorite team, and still seems to be the case. In part due to 'cheating' by Madden's Raiders, the Chargers lost AFC championships to them in the last seconds of the game in the late 70s, then the early 80s they lost the "Freezer Bowl" to the "Bungles." After the Chargers were blown out by Steve Young and Frisco in the '94 Super Bowl, I finally gave them up as my favorite team. San Diego is a nice, lax easy-going city.....but there's something dumb and phony about its sports teams -which prevent them from winning it all- this has been the case for decades. Perhaps it's because the city IS lax and easy-going; the people are also nice but they never have come across to me as TRUE 'die-hard' fans like sports fans from other cities especially in the eastern United States. Owners of the Chargers and Padres and too many managers, players, and personnel.....have never quite 'jived' with me as being truly competent and legit.... For these reasons and others, the 'stars aren't aligned' for San Diego pro teams to ever truly be great. I gave up the Padres as my favorite baseball team (in lieu of the Dodgers) after Tony Gwynn retired; the Padres also have always seemed cursed, stupid, lax -- perennial underachievers with bad personnel, management and team owners; the environment isn't right for them to ever win...they have been unbelievably mediocre if not bad for 20 years until the last two years. Even with the Chargers moving back to L.A. two years ago -where they first started- they still are clearly the inferior of the two current L.A. teams...and continue to not quite have what it takes and to lose close games (i.e. Raiders loss a few weeks ago). I've had the belief for many years that if either the Padres or the Chargers ever won a championship, the world would end. Something won't allow them to; it's that impossible for them to... I would've put San Diego in the top 10 in this list -- probably at around #5 at least...
Now I don't feel as bad. As a senior, living all my life on Long Island, I remember as a teenager growing up feeling envious of SoCal as I had an American Graffiti image of it. Surfing all day and cruising around in hotrods all evening. But maybe the lifestyle is too lax. After all, one of your iconic players was called "Bambi," albeit a great receiver. And now they left for L.A. I sympathize with you. But on balance, I'd rather have good weather than a successful N.Y. Yankees who are more about history than recent consistency. Also, as a good Catholic, I always liked the name Padres.
@@MrAquinas1 I'd rather LIVE in San Diego than say, Pittsburgh, Philly or New York. Mainly for the weather. But there's something about the atmosphere and people in Diego that just don't.....'jive'.......or 'work'........in terms of creating the right 'sports environment' from the top to the bottom, owners to coaches, for really consistently good teams, much less championship teams, to ever happen. Knowing this fact, it's hard to root for the local team, were I to be living in Diego -- KNOWING that their teams will always just....be pre-determined to simply 'exist' and give us entertainment......instead of actual championships...... Somehow there's something more 'legit,' REAL in other cities esp. eastern USA that makes it possible and even inevitable that other cities' teams win championships -that I feel are impossible in some places, perhaps only a few, such as Diego...
Not to mention a 20-13 lead yes it’s a one score lead but when you have a lead like that in the fourth quarter in the Super Bowl you better shut the door
They're 0-6 in NFC title games since their last Super Bowl appearance in 1977 vs Oakland. The one big move that's really jinxed them is moving from an outdoor stadium with a real home field advantage to playing indoors in dome stadiums. The Vikes are 0-5 in NFC title games since leaving Metropolitan Stadium in 1981.
@@iangallagher4135 I didn't know the year it was made. But it still would be nice to see a knew countdown. I think the Browns and the Lions will be in the first and second place.
@@theunpopularopinionatedten4951 Idk about the Bears. It is hard for me to put them on that list compared to other teams, especially at their division (Lions and Vikings). 1985 is a long time but compared that to the Jets, Raiders, and Dolphins...

Steven Roberts That’s true, but Arizona has only won like two playoff games in about sixty years I believe and the Falcons should be considered just from Super Bowl 51.
Honestly, the CITY of Houston is snake bitten. And what's funny is that one guy mentioned the "Belicheck coaching tree" being awful, and one reason we're not contenders right now is because of a previous OC under Belicheck, Bill O'Brian 🙄 Everyone swore by him, but I knew he was bad news as soon as he cut Andre Johnson. Then he traded Hopkins for a bag of peanuts and a coke, and even though it didn't happen until he was fired, he was the reason Watt and Watson left. He left the Texans organization in shambles. I've sat through all our losing seasons, all of the playoff heartbreaks, like the time we were the only team in the AFC south to not reach a conference championship in a 5 year span, even though we may have had the best team. And let's not forget the embarrassing 30-0 shutout to the Chiefs. I honestly expected us to lose that game, the Chiefs were objectively a better team, but come on... And last but not least, firing Gary Kubiak, and then Kubiak making his way to Denver, and almost immediately winning a Super Bowl.
Very true. Houston kinda did this to themselves though. They welcomed a half ass team with lame, half assed facilities and weird, common uniforms. The city has never truly embraced them. They need an identity. They need new uniforms and a new swagger. And a great quarterback. Houston is a great city and they should have a great team
@@jjgreen5206 I agree. I've thought for a while that we should be rebranded as the Comets. It would align with the other major sports teams in Houston having space related names (Astros, Rockets), and it would give the team an opportunity to design a creative logo and color scheme. I think light blue and black would work great for a team like that, but that's just me.
After 5 decades of playoff exits and eliminations. Patrick mahomes and Tyreek Hill Made a magical playoff run and made a comeback against the San Francisco 49 ers in Super Bowl 54
19:16 you could say that about the Seahawks for YEARS when they were in the AFC. They had some really good teams in the 80s & 90s but the Chiefs, Broncos and raiders were usually better than they were.
The only 12 snakebitten franchises now are: Detroit Lions, Cleveland Browns, Jacksonville Jaguars, Houston Texans, Minnesota Vikings, Buffalo Bills, Cincinnati Bengals, Atlanta Falcons, Carolina Panthers, Los Angeles Chargers, Arizona Cardinals, and Tennessee Titans.
This list was made in 2009. Also watch 18:45. Just because the Chiefs, Saints, and Eagles have won a Super Bowl in the past decade, it doesn’t nor should it erase all the decades of heartbreak and misfortune.
@@christopherray6370 The score at the time was 23-16 so if he crossed the goalline the game would have gone to overtime, I think they still would have lost to the Rams
@@michaelhession2105 right but I hate that they just scream 1 yard short, the ot rules were very different no telling with Jeff Fisher luck if they would have even won the coin toss. Remember Issac Bruce did just take 1 to the house on a long pass play & are we sure they attempt a field goal he might have tried 2 just to put the game away. This is Jeff Fisher here guys.
I wish they would make newer films, many of these films were made in 2008/2009 and a lot has happened in 2010s decade. But sticking to the topic of this video the vikings, Browns, lions, falcons, Bills, and bengals are still snake bitten. A part of me wants to say the saints are snake bitten again since they lost to the vikings in the playoffs in 2017 and 2019, and got screwed by the refs in the NFC championship game against the rams in 2018.
@@vanessarussell7048 yeah I can understand your point, I have the chargers on the list because they have had good teams but choke in big moments, and no Super Bowl wins
Chiefs, Eagles & Saints got Super Bowl rings now.. Here's my list: 10. Saints (Only cause they had a BAD history before they're Championship) 9. Bills (4 straight SB losses.. Ouch! ) 8. Falcons (Long history without a winner.. They're still recovering from that Super Bowl loss vs New England) 7. Vikings (4 losses in the SB.. Lots of Hall of fame players.. But bad luck playoff losses) 6. Jets (Still paying for the SB 3 Win.. Thanks for Joe Namath for making a deal with the Devil!) 5. Lions (My Team... Tough to put them on this list... But Bobby Layne, Matt Millen & the Refs screwed this team over.. Plus bad Ownership) 4. Oilers (Bad Luck team.. Tough losses in the playoffs.. Plus the move to Tennessee) 3. Bengals (The lost decade after the death of Paul Brown.. His son Mike isn't making things better.. Worst Draft picks in History) 2. Cardinals (62 years without a Home Playoff game!!!) 1. Browns (Paul Brown getting fired! Shocking Playoff losses! Then the move to Baltimore & winning the SB there.. Plus No QB since returning into the league.. Tough pill to swallow)
For the longest time, I said the Browns were the most cursed franchise, but they have made the playoffs in two of the last four years I would say the worst cursed franchise right now, is the Jets. Especially after getting Aaron Rodgers and losing him in the first couple plays of this past season.
I agree that the Bills should be #10 because even though they didn't get a Super Bowl, they were at least there 4 straight times. That makes them pretty successful. However, the most snake-bitten franchises are the Lions and Browns, in that order.
