Crazy stat I saw

[DenCWBY]

Since 1997 the Dallas Cowboys, Washington Commanders, and Detroit Lions are the only teams not to play in an NFC Championship Game.

And there is only 1 common denominator throughout that time. Hmmmmm?

This post hurt me more than anything else I have seen on this board in years. Thanks OP.

Fail to Jerrah

Right. I loved watching those teams play.

My dream is to see that here with a Defense that beats the hell out of people like the current Seahawks do.

With 2 playoff wins since 1996, we are in the bottom quartile of all NFL teams. Only the depressed rust belt / rust belt periphery teams: Buffalo Cleveland, Cinci, Detroit and KC have worse playoff records. The top quartile teams average close to 9 victories over that same period with NE topping the list with 19 playoff victories and counting. I looked at these stats when Jerry talked about the parity NFC Superbowl winners since the early 90's, which I thought understated our shortcomings over that period.

Sorry! My intention wasn't to depress anyone etc. I just couldn't believe that there was only 3 teams that haven't played in an NFC Championship game since 1997. It hurts me too! Let's hope starting next season is the start of something great

Another depressing stat :bang2:

Now all of my family and friends that are Browns fans can bond about something with me!

Both Car and Jax have both made conference championships. We are hitting a long drought and I hope with an emphasis on addressing our Olines we begin to make a run.

CHAMPIONSHIP!!:laugh2:

It must feel terrible being a Lions fan. At least we have 5 superbowls to hang our hats on. They don't have anything! They only went to one NFC championship in 1991 and lost to 41-10 to the Commanders.

 

[jazzcat22]

That will change next year...2 teams will come off of that list....Lions will play at Cowboys. Leaving the Commanders as the sole team not to play in it......

2 of 3 of those teams suffered from meddling owners and they all suffered from poor GM's.

Things can always be worse

[perrykemp]

Oh come on, that Greatest Show on Turf team was awesome.

They were the absolute Apex of the Don Coryell offensive system where they not?

I've never seen a team come so far from left field to blow the doors off the league in a single season like that.

Same here.

Funny thing is they donewith highly unconventional thinking.... a tiny DE/OLB in Irvin, two massive CBs who are bigger than what is thought to be "good" at the position.... etc etc

I love it when teams defy NFL norms like this and have success.

Yeah that does suck. But we were in 4 straight prior to that.
