No, they don't. Buffalo experienced something similar against the NE dynasty. Something ridiculous like 22 straight losses. Your infamous streak is in the neighborhood of approaching that level of ownage.

Well, being as your basically halfway to that playoff drought, we'll have the suicide squad on standby for you.
And you're welcome, in advance.

By cheating. (vaseline, anyone?) Something Denver is known for. Same way you won the Super Bowl that year (by circumventing the salary cap deferring payments to players). Which is why the NFL took draft picks from you for that. Because you cheated. Like your franchise always has done, anytime they have been associated with winning a Super Bowl. You couldn't win one WITHOUT cheating (Poor Elway), so then you started cheating and finally got one. Congratulations. [Reply]

Not really. The extra few games every year is great to watch. Plus knowing we are in contention every year is great. It's not easy to win the SB. What must suck is not having sniffed the playoffs in 6 years. That must really suck. Enjoy you POS. [Reply]

Correct. And it was his rookie season. Only his second professional game.
I wonder if he ever tells stories in the locker room about the olden days and what it was like to beat the Chiefs that one time . . . . . . . . [Reply]

The Chiefs 14 year playoff drought, you mean like back in the '80's? LOL [Reply]

No... not the 7 year olds! I use the same story with my friends that love the Cowboys, but it's more like their 20+ year olds were born and are nearly done with college since the last time Dallas did anything in the playoffs. 4-11 in the postseason since that last SB with Barry. [Reply]
