Detroit is the only team I know of that managed to drive two legitimately generational players into retirement because they simply sucked so bad. [Reply]

In the past, you had highly paid WRs, sure, but I swear this offseason WR may have just surpassed LT and pass rusher for the next most expensive position besides QB.
I hope it does stay high. We'll just continue to draft and develop and the rest of the league can shoot their wads on top 5 WR's and middling QB's... [Reply]
And one of those teams was a 15-1 team with prime Randy Moss. IIRC, Morten Anderson missed a makeable field goal after having the highest field goal percentage that season in NFL history that kept them out of the Super Bowl. Bru-tal. [Reply]

Yeah, he's not terrible however he's just good enough to break your heart. Chiefs fans have seen a ton of those over the years. Get your hopes up and then reality sets in when a better QB shows you what you really wish you had. [Reply]
Vikings fans have had it worse than Cardinals or Lions fans. The Vikings every decade have a heartbreaking playoff loss that just makes no sense at all. They are the most successful franchise by winning percentage without a Super Bowl win. They are consistently good. That is what makes them snakebitten.
The Lions and Cardinals fans don't have those emotional highs brought now to lows because they generally suck.
It hurts more to fall at the peak than reside in the valley. [Reply]

The kicker was Gary, Morten the great dane played for the Falcons in the game you're describing. [Reply]

While we could certainly sympathize with them between roughly 1971 - 2020 (particularly from about 1990 - 2016), we at least had SV IV. I mean, Cleveland fans just know their team is a factory of sadness. Jets have SB III. The only fanbase that could approach the Vikes might be the Bills. 4 AFCCGs in a row and nothing to show.
Cleveland is the worst of all. Zero SBs and they watched their franchise move to Baltimore and win two SBs there. That’s the ultimate gut punch. [Reply]
