I believe they had a crazy good regular season record against the NFC. They just choked when it counted most. they should have won the first one, choking is a bit harsh they were hopelessly outmatched in the last 3
Utah John Posted January 27, 2019 Posted January 27, 2019 How about some perspective. Would you rather the Bills play in the SB every year and lose, or not make the playoffs at all for 19 straight years? I would take the SBs. 1

It really is. 19 straight Superbowl losses? With the benefit of hindsight? I think I might prefer obscurity over that! I gotta pretty damn awful consecutive streak going for the only 3 teams I really care about. Detroit Tigers have lost their last two. Michigan Wolverine BASKETBALL has lost their last four. Bills have lost their last four. That's 10 in a row! This isn't some ancient history. This is all since 1991 when I was 11 and just getting into sports. So I'm pretty worn out by championship losses.

Beast Posted January 27, 2019 Posted January 27, 2019 (edited) Nope. The 1990 NY Giants beat the SF 49ers in the NFC Championship game ( SB 23 and 24 champs) and the Washington Redskins in the regular season. (SB 22 champs) There May be more. That’s just off the top of my head. Edited January 27, 2019 by Binghamton Beast
CincyBillsFan Posted January 27, 2019 Posted January 27, 2019 I remember arguing with a friend that the Bills going to 4 straight SB's was an amazing achievement. He countered that it wasn't such a big deal because they played in the weaker AFC. That bothered me so I did a little research and proved my friend wrong and showed just how WEIRD those Bills SB teams were. The bottom line is that had the Bills played in the NFC they still might have gone to 4 straight SB's and lost every one of them to an AFC team - my proof: During the 4 years the Bills went to the SB their inter-conference record against the NFC was an astonishing 14 - 2! And this included beating a lot of NFC playoff teams! This also included beating, ON THE ROAD, two teams (Giants & Cowboys) that would go on and beat them that year in the SB! Looking even closer the two losses were season ending games in which Buffalo HAD ALREADY clinched the home field advantage throughout the playoffs! The Bills rested many of their starters in what were to Buffalo, meaningless games. The ONLY plausible explanation for the Bills SB losses is that someone put a hex on them. 2
Beast Posted January 27, 2019 Posted January 27, 2019 (edited) The 1992 Dallas Cowboys beat the previous 8 SB Champions. That’s probably the record. Edited January 27, 2019 by Binghamton Beast
Over 29 years of fanhood Posted January 27, 2019 Posted January 27, 2019 If you add ‘that lost to said champs in the Super Bowl’, you do in fact have the one and only.
Protocal69 Posted January 27, 2019 Posted January 27, 2019 How many times did the previous 3 Super Bowl champs come from the same division. That would be the reason why the BILLS are the team to do it because 3 previous Super Bowl winners coming from the same division is rare enough let alone playing all 3 in the same year especially playing out of conference.

In week 2 the Bills beat Dallas on the road, in week 5 they beat the Giants at home, and in week 9 they beat the Redskins at home. Is this the only time a team has defeated the SB champs from the 3 previous years in a single season? Win VS Dallas was without Emmitt Smith. As you saw in the Super Bowl, that mattered.

The 1992 Dallas Cowboys beat the previous 12 Super Bowl Champions. Yes, 12. I believe that is a record that will never be broke.

They went to 4 superbowls and they lost them all. That's it. You old heads B word about participation trophies, but I've never seen more participation trophies created for any team than the superbowl losers. Why are you a fan of such a “loser” franchise? If the SB years and winning all of those AFC titles and 13 wins per reg season sucked so bad, then just how miserable has it been during the drought, am I right? But I’m sorry that a fun team to watch that had a cutting edge O and brought it every week, and was the bane of Dan Marino’s existence, means nothing to you.
Buffalo Barbarian Posted January 28, 2019 Posted January 28, 2019 Which made it even more annoying to lose to those teams in the Superbowl when we showed we were capable of beating them in the regular season. We really should have won two of those Superbowls, the first and the last.

The Pats 16-0 had to be one of the hardest regular season slates ever when you see the playoff teams they beat, especially on the road that Miami team didn’t run into a single playoff team in the regular season
Doc Brown Posted January 28, 2019 Posted January 28, 2019 15 hours ago, Success said: I don’t agree that they should have won all 4. They absolutely should have won the first, and that likely would have led to a win against the Redskins. It was too much in their head “not to be the Broncos” at that point, and they were way too tight for that game. But those Cowboys teams were just better. Bills should be 2-2, imo. It's impossible to tell. The Redskins were the strongest team we faced in any of the Superbowls so I doubt we win that game. Without the cloud hanging over our heads of losing two straight and then three straight Superbowls, we may have fared better against the Cowboys. Especially our final Superbowl.
Call_Of_Ktulu Posted January 28, 2019 Posted January 28, 2019 If the Bills played each of the 90 thru 94 Super Bowls 50 times, I think the results would be. Bills vs Giants Bills 48 wins Giants 2 Bills vs Redskins Bills 40 wins Redskins 10 Bills vs Cowboys Bills 12 wins Cowboys 38 Bills vs Cowboys. Bills 12 wins Cowboys 38
