CosmicBills Posted September 29, 2006 Posted September 29, 2006 ESPN25 ...ouch 789856[/snapback] The Bills made it but not the Eagles? I would think making it to 4 Super Bowls is less of a flop than losing all those NFC Championship games in a row... F*ckers. (this is when we REALLY neead the F:U smiley back)
Phlegm Alley Posted September 29, 2006 Posted September 29, 2006 I can think of a couple of other franchises that are more deserving of being on that list. The KC Royals haven't been to the playoffs in 21 years and what about the AZ Cardinals
5 Wide Posted September 29, 2006 Posted September 29, 2006 Yea that's a pretty harsh assessment for a team that was one of the winningest football teams of the 90's. There are plenty more organizations worthy of this
Buffalo Mike1 Posted September 29, 2006 Posted September 29, 2006 HOLY CRAP!! That's pretty low- the Only NFL team? Jesus man, how much clout does Mort have???????
duey Posted September 29, 2006 Posted September 29, 2006 Oh give me a freaking break. So we lost 4 Super Bowls in a row...as much as that sucked, that team achieved a level of success rarely equaled (if at all) in any professional sport.
Florida_BillsFan Posted September 29, 2006 Posted September 29, 2006 ESPN25 ...ouch 789856[/snapback] ESPN should be on that list...............the MTV of Sports
Johnny Coli Posted September 29, 2006 Posted September 29, 2006 ESPN should be on that list...............the MTV of Sports 789889[/snapback] No sh--. I don't see any mention of Bill Simmons (Sports Guy/Red Sox shill) bombing as a writer for the Jimmy Kimmel Show, or that craptacular waste of time "Cold Pizza."
bluv Posted September 29, 2006 Posted September 29, 2006 I argue with my friends all the time: while we choked and played awful and not as competitive as we should have been, they were never a heavily favored team in the Super Bowl. They make it seem like we were big favorites in all those loses; losing the way Green Bay or the Rams did as heavy favorites to a team that shouldn't be on the same field. The only one we were favorited in was against the 13-3 Giants! In that season, most of the NFL was focused on the 49ers and the Giants as both started 6-0 and most predicted the 49ers would win 4 straight. The Bills wasn't even thought of until they started running the No-Huddle. Against the Skins we were overmatched as that was probably one of the greatest teams of all time. Against Dallas we were a wild card team that had to overcome a 35-3 deficit. And Dallas went on to win 3 out of 4 Super Bowls.

Just Jack Posted September 29, 2006 Posted September 29, 2006 Actually, i believe both the 49ers and giants started 10-0 that season until they played each other on a monday night. 789937[/snapback] The 49ers lost to the L.A. Rams before playing the Giants. The Giants lost to Philly before playing the 49ers.
seq004 Posted September 29, 2006 Posted September 29, 2006 Yea that's a pretty harsh assessment for a team that was one of the winningest football teams of the 90's. There are plenty more organizations worthy of this 789879[/snapback] Yeah, I just dont get that. Teams that should be their before us.Seattle, Cinci, Cleveland, Detroit, Houston, Vikings,Carolina, Jax, Chargers, Eagles.

ESPN sucks
Ramius Posted September 29, 2006 Posted September 29, 2006 The 49ers lost to the L.A. Rams before playing the Giants. The Giants lost to Philly before playing the 49ers. 789946[/snapback] thanks. they both started 10-0, and it should have been the battle of 11-0 teams, but both choked.

Against Dallas we were a wild card team that had to overcome a 35-3 deficit. And Dallas went on to win 3 out of 4 Super Bowls. 789905[/snapback] I agree somewhat. If you're talking about home playoff chokes as the favorite, both the 49ers & Steelers are way up there; obv. nobody seems to care or remember since they've won 5 SB's each. The Eagles & Chiefs though, have flamed out without winning the big prize (at least since 1970) so those franchise would be underrated choke artists. As the years go by though, it gets harder to explain our SB defeats. Yeah the Skins & Dallas were better teams, but by how much? Washington had a great OL and a great offensive coach, and it's understandable that they manhandled our undersized DL. We had a great OL too though; and should've been able to put up more points. I don't understand how they killed us with the blitz so easily (Denver sort of did this the week before, and I'm not sure our offense was ever the same after that). I guess it didn't help that Beebe dropped a TD and Reed was getting mugged in that game. Another inexplicable point is that we got some breaks early in those games - the blocked FG vs. the Skins, an overturned TD, blocked punt vs. Dallas....those are the kind of plays where if we had won, everyone would say "that play set the tone for the game".
Crap Throwing Monkey Posted September 29, 2006 Posted September 29, 2006 Yeah, I just dont get that. Teams that should be their before us.Seattle, Cinci, Cleveland, Detroit, Houston, Vikings,Carolina, Jax, Chargers, Eagles. 789973[/snapback] And Miami. Every year I can remember, Miami fails to live up to anyone's expectations. Isn't that the definition of a "flop"?
H2o Posted September 29, 2006 Posted September 29, 2006 ESPN Mobile should be #1 on the list. They're folding up after a year on the market.
Gary M Posted September 29, 2006 Posted September 29, 2006 Yeah, I just dont get that. Teams that should be their before us.Seattle, Cinci, Cleveland, Detroit, Houston, Vikings,Carolina, Jax, Chargers, Eagles. 789973[/snapback] Cleveland 1.0 or Cleveland 2.0
envirojeff Posted September 29, 2006 Posted September 29, 2006 Where the hell is steve spurier(SP?) coaching the Redskins? or the Houston Oilers in that comback game, pretty big flop IMO!. Bad List! Jeff
