Quote:Well, I see your point and agree to an extent, but that's not necessarily an accurate gauge, either.

The NFL existed before the Super Bowl, and teams were competing/not competing for championships prior to the 1966 season.

If you factor THAT into the equation, Detroit and Cleveland have been to championship games-the then equivalent to the Super Bowl.

If you factor in only Super Bowl appearances but not from the start of Super Bowls (in other words, if you add in years pre Super Bowl), that pushes the average up.

The thing is, there have been teams that have least competed in Super Bowls prior to their 19th year of existence. Even Carolina-who came into the league the same year we did-has been to a Super Bowl (in one of the lowest points of my life as a Jaguars fan). Even using your standard of measure, the "lowly" Bengals made it to a Super Bowl before we did...and they are ahead of our pace.

Bottom line is we have no room to talk about anyone being lowly right now...and we need some Super Bowl trophies badly.

Word, Bullseye. :thumbsup:
