Got robbed of the 01' owl. Warner deserved three rings desu.

Had they won that owl they would have gone on to win at least one more.

>you now remember Marc Bulger

>>76725942
Fuck me, that's a head scratcher

>>76725942
The Mariners are legitimately the worst MLB franchise of all time. That's how.

>le beautiful swing and nice in interviews so lets pretend his horrible injury-proneness for 10+ years wasn't caused by roiding improperly man

God is Yankees fan.

The four straight Super Bowl losing Buffalo Bills are an obvious, and sad, choice.

>>76725942
The baseball playoffs are as cruel as they come

Early 2000s Eagles if they had a white QB or actual WRs

Some scary fucking defenses that were perennially top 5

Far superior 90s AL team example coming through
>Thome hitting 6th
>ManRam hitting 7th

early 2000s eagles

literally chip caliber teams that stayed together for at least 4 years and never won shit

Broncos ;_;

>>76727237
Would have won 4 straight with Tom Brady at QB and any coach other than Andy Reid

>>76727208
Holy shit, Paul Sorrento and Robbie Alomar hitting 8th and 9th??

>>76724104

Titles in 2005 and 2008. Runners up in 2010. THAT close.

Jim Johnson was so underrated it's scary, if the dude coached for the Giants or Cowboys he'd already be in the hall of fame

>>76727708
Sandy Alomar. The better Alomar wasn't on the Indians yet.

08-11 lillies

>>76727063
McNabb was good enough. He was throwing to fucking Greg Lewis and Todd Pinkston though. Had T.O. for one season and the guy got hurt. Took them to the Super Bowl anyway and lost to the dynasty Patriots.

>>76728939
McNabb was good for the regular season and the first 2 rounds of the playoffs but the dude was just naturally unclutch and that's a fact dude, for him to have won a ring would have required him to have a stacked as hell team

>>76728939
In 2003 RB Brian Westbrook led the Eagles in receiving touchdowns with 4. McNabb had literally fucking nothing.

In 2004 the Eagles got him TO and he had 14 touchdowns in 14 games before getting hurt. Second on the team was Brian Westbrook. Third was TE LJ Smith. Fourth was TE Chad Lewis. Freddie Mitchell, the number 2 receiver, had 2 touchdowns.

>>76729073
McNabb had Westbrook develop into a top 5 RB by 2007 and Had DJax and Maclin and still choked bro

Not exactly a dynasty, but those 1998 Yankees were unfair as fuck. If only.

1990s Buffalo Bills

>>76729095
In 2008 he had a rookie DeSean Jackson. Brian Westbrook led the team with 5 receiving touchdowns. Hank Baskett led all receivers with 3 TDs.

In 2009 DeSean Jackson blossomed and had 9 receiving touchdowns. Westbrook was gone and they had rookies LeSean McCoy and Jeremy Maclin.

Then they got rid of McNabb for Michael Vick.

Seahawks until the meme catch

>>76729190
Rookie DJax still had 912 yards he just wasn't as good of a deep threat yet and by nature he was too small for the redzone

You can point to all the trash receivers he's had and I won't disagree, but he had ONE good posteason TD:INT ratio and that was 2004 with 7:3, every other year combined he was 17:14 despite being 2:1 his regular season career

That's literally choking even if you want to claim playoff defenses are insanely harder

>>76726432
>injury-proneness caused by 'roids
WRONG
R
O
N
G
His injury-proneness was caused by playing recklessly. He was constantly running into walls trying to make catches instead of laying off and playing it safe.

>>76729097
Getting rid of the brown and gold color scheme has cursed the dads desu

>>76729112
Had Norwood made that kick, Thurman Thomas would've won Super Bowl 25 MVP. No doubt about it.

Of course.

You know what's funny? Ron Jaworski wrote a book - games that changed the game or something, in which he looked at a handful of games in which the game plan was so brilliant it changed the NFL, and one of them was Belichick's defensive scheme against the Rams in SB 36.

What's funny is Belichick basically used the exact same game plan he used against the Bills in SB 25. Especially how their pass rushers would loop way outside so they could bump Faulk coming out of the backfield - all but giving up any chance of getting to the passer in time.

Watch SB 25. It's the same exact fucking thing they did to Thomas. Credit to Thomas for all that production on so few carries. Bill ran about the same amount of times as the Rams.

Also makes Faulk like a bitch when he claims Pats cheated seeing as Belichick was implementing the same fucking game plan he'd used 12 years earlier.

Anyway, I loved those Bills teams. Pats were not competitive at the time so when Buff wasn't playing against Pats I pulled for them. AFC Pride, and all that. Fun team. Defense was almost as fun as the offense.

Montreal Canadie-- oh wait, no, they're sports' true dynasty.

the Jints. no one acknowledges them because they missed the playoffs after each of their 3 rings and right now they're a dumpster fire.
