ofiba Posted September 29, 2004 Posted September 29, 2004 You have 2 choices. A. The Bills win the superbowl this year, but then follow that up with 20 straight 0-16 seasons. OR B. The Bills make the playoffs every year for the next 20 years, but never win it all.
Fezmid Posted September 29, 2004 Posted September 29, 2004 If I had to choose, I'd choose B. I bet that a bunch of people choose A though. CW
JinVA Posted September 29, 2004 Posted September 29, 2004 If I knew how every season was going to turn out I probably wouldn't bother watching.
Indy Dave Posted September 29, 2004 Posted September 29, 2004 There are some notable differences, but in a way you're asking would you rather be the St. Louis Blues or the Tampa bay Lightning? The Blues have made the playoffs 20+ consecutive years. The Lightning have been a joke for most of their existence, but they won the Cup. I'd rather be the Lightning.

Alaska Darin Posted September 29, 2004 Posted September 29, 2004 Neither. One of the reasons I'm a fan is because I don't KNOW the outcome of anything. Try watching a game with any emotion when you know the final score before the kickoff. Pretty much ruins the experience and you end up 3 hours that closely resemble DCTom checking the UberCat's bungholes for klingons.
OnTheRocks Posted September 29, 2004 Posted September 29, 2004 without hesitation i would take the single super bowl victory! i have been a Cincinnati Reds fan all my life. and the last time they one the championship was 1990. I still have the tapes of the '90 World Series and break them out every few years. It holds me over just fine. If the Bills one the Super Bowl, I would die a happy man. If they NEVER won another game it would not bother me a bit.
Guest Guest Posted September 29, 2004 Posted September 29, 2004 A without a doubt. It's like asking, would you rather be a one time world champion boxer, or a good fighter who never was champion. Look at the NY Jets, they're still living off what Namath did in winning a SuperBowl back in 69.
gantrules Posted September 29, 2004 Posted September 29, 2004 Hi this is Tom Donahoe and I wanted to ask all you Bills fans a serious question. Does it really matter if we "win" or "lose" a game? In our hearts we know we have the best players. You guys have sold the stadium out for 11 straight games. We've gone 6-13 in that time frame so do you really think we, Bills Management, care whether or not we win? It's all about putting the big names in front of your faces and getting that fat paycheck from Mr. Wilson. But, anywhooooo, remember Bills Fans, you are number 1 in our book!
Rubes Posted September 29, 2004 Posted September 29, 2004 Perhaps the question should have been, in twenty years, given either of those outcomes, which outcome would ultimately make you happier at that time in the future?
R. Rich Posted September 29, 2004 Posted September 29, 2004 I choose C: The Bills go 19-0 for the next 637 years and dominate sports like no other team could even imagine.
PastaJoe Posted September 29, 2004 Posted September 29, 2004 I'd choose A. Not only do you get to wear Super Bowl Champion t-shirts for the next 20 years, you could wear them to the NFL Draft each year where we'd have the added excitement of having the 1st draft pick.
Ramius Posted September 29, 2004 Posted September 29, 2004 i'd take one super bowl win any day of the week...and i am so passionate about the bills, i would only hafta live through 3-4 seasons of 0-16 before i had an aneuryism and died..., so 1 SB and 3-4 winless seasons is worth it
drnykterstein Posted September 29, 2004 Posted September 29, 2004 we already had this discussion. (A) won by a landslide. i personally dont want to be like the bucs, so i'd choose option B.
rockpile Posted September 29, 2004 Posted September 29, 2004 A better question: Which would I rather have: 1. a frontal lobotomy 2. a bottle in front of me? If you remember, we went from the AFL Championship until SB XXV with years of drought in between, but always that ray of hope. The 'tweener' years kept me a fan.
Larry Playfair Posted September 29, 2004 Posted September 29, 2004 A - gimmie one damn championship! one bowl...one cup...anything.
ofiba Posted September 29, 2004 Author Posted September 29, 2004 Perhaps the question should have been, in twenty years, given either of those outcomes, which outcome would ultimately make you happier at that time in the future? 49738[/snapback] yeah this is what i meant. not knowing the outcome of every year in advance.
