The Eagles have spent the last five seasons trying to push the stone up the hill and get that first Lombardi trophy. Three straight NFC championship game losses followed by this past Super Bowl defeat has left a sour taste in the mouths of many, but not nearly all Eagles fans. Some are content to contend every year, to go to a playoff game or two, and are confident that there will always be next year.
Now, with the TO situation and the contractual discontent of others, particularly Brian Westbrook, many Eagles fans are afraid the window will close, and that we've seen all we're going to see. If that happens, I don't know if I'll look upon the past four years with fondness or with bitterness. I suspect the latter.
I'm genuinely interested in your thoughts on this question. How do you look back on the Bills' Super Bowl years? With fondness and at least some sense of satisfaction? Or perhaps with bitterness and emptiness? I grew up in upstate NY and rooted for the Bills in every Super Bowl. I can only imagine how crushing it must have been for you.
Thanks for your input.
