Jacksonville Jaguars Fan Forums

Which fanbase has a higher misery score? These 2017 Atlanta Falcons, or the early 90's Buffalo Bills?

Bills easily.

Also I feel Vikings fans should stake a claim in there somewhere.

Why not the Browns?

Bills, not even close. Losing four Super Bowls supersedes losing one

Falcons.  


Bills made it to four Super Bowls in a row.  Falcons probably won't make it back for a while, and they lost on a coin toss after being up by 25 points.  

Falcons have a good chance of being back next year.  They were clearly the best NFC team.

 

Bills losing four in a row is a feat not likely to ever be matched.

 

Atlanta sports fans collectively have it bad, but Falcons fans have a lot to be happy about, and to look forward to.

I also wouldn't say the 90s Bills fans were necessarily miserable.

 

They may be miserable now for never have one during that stretch, but those teams were amazing.

 

It was just a shame Dallas was better during the same time.

And Washington, And the NYG.

Dallas was the early 90s dynasty.

 

Had the Bills won just a couple, they would arguably be the 90s dynasty, at worst a shared honor with Dallas.

 

Washington, NYG, SF... all really good teams but behind Dallas during that time.  Illustrating just how good that Dallas dynasty truly was.  The NFC was a minefield of it's own.

I grew up a Cowboys fan (born/raised in Texas, just North of Dallas).

 

Tom Landry

Roger Stauback

Tony Dorsett

Ed "Too Tall" Jones

Drew Pearson

Preston Pearson

etc...

 

I used to be a fan of some really good Dallas teams...then came the Jaguars.

Amen to that. And you didn't even get into Green Bay coming along later that decade.

 

I guess I asked the question because I wanted to see which pain is worse; losing a massive lead or finding new and inventive ways to lose.

You can't be dissapointed in losing the SB if you never go! That's the way Jags.   :thumbsup:

Thank goodness the Jags have never lost a Super Bowl...I don't know what I would do.

Wake up from your dream and realized that a team with a 3-5 win season couldn't have possibly made it too the superbowl...

I am an early 90s bills fan, and co-current bills jag fan since 95. So its been a pretty bad 15-20 years now. The SBs don't hurt as bad as years of losing seasons.

After losing like that in the Super Bowl it's going to take them AT LEAST a year to recover. The SB hangover is a real thing.
