Looking through the list of most appearances in the big show, there is not one other team that I would want to change places with. SF has the best win % for the number of appearances they've had, but they were only consistently great for one decade. The Cowboys came on strong in the late Sixties and didn't tail off until the 80's, then strong again in the 90's. The Steelers had a great run in the 70's, pushed again in the early 90's, then lucked out when Big Ben made an ankle tackle to save a TD when The Bus fumbled. They made the most of their appearance though, and got their 5th.
I don't know what it is like to be a fan of another team, so just a little speculation here. I think it would be better to be a Bill's fan than a Vikings fan. Both have gone to the show 4 times, both lost 4times. But at least Buffalo can brag that they are the only team to go 4 years in a row.
Looking at the teams that have never made an appearance, you have to wonder, is it bad ownership, bad coaching, or just bad karma? New Orleans almost broke through last year. If they had played that game in the Dome, I would have bet on them to beat Chicago, but they didn't. The Cards can't even brag about going to an NFC Title game, much less a Super Bowl.
Just random meandering thoughts after the long weekend.
Would you trade our appearances and record for any of the other team's appearances and record?
