Synonymous with complete failure despite supreme confidence. In perhaps the biggest upset in Super Bowl history, the NY Giants defeated the heavily favored New England Patriots who entered Super Bowl XLII with a perfect 18-0 record. So sure of themselves, the Patriots filed applications to patent the phrase "19-0" and "19-0 The Perfect Season" more than a week before the game, only to have their collective asses handed to them by the Giants.

The New England Patriots had their hopes of completing a perfect season destroyed by losing the one game that counts: The Super Bowl.
Not only that, but they were also caught cheating during the season so even if they went 19-0 it would still always be questioned.
18-1* is the equivalent of epic failure
