Clearly, the Cowboys will not be in the big game this year, so I thought it might be interesting to note the teams Cowboys fans would most want to see in the Super Bowl.

For me, in no particular order, based on their team histories, players and coaches I admire and current story lines, this post season I’ll be rooting for:
  • Minnesota Vikings…..appeared in 4 Super Bowls in the 70’s (1970, 1974, 1975, 1977), but never won.
  • Detroit Lions…..never appeared in a Super Bowl and perhaps the worst postseason record in league history (9-14), but they did win 4 NFL championships between 1935 and 1957, prior to the SB era.
  • Buffalo Bills…..appeared in 4 consecutive Super Bowls (1991, 1992, 1993, 1994), but never won.
Maybe surprising to some, but there are still 12 of 32 teams that have never won a Super Bowl - Arizona Cardinals, Atlanta Falcons, Buffalo Bills, Carolina Panthers, Cincinnati Bengals, Cleveland Browns, Detroit Lions, Houston Texans, Jacksonville Jaguars, Los Angeles Chargers, Minnesota Vikings and Tennessee Titans.

What about you?
That's a great list.

I have nothing against the team per se, love Mahomes as a player, but the bandwagon portion of the Chiefs' fan base deeply annoys me. Most of them were ''diehard'' Pats fans a few years ago too lol, such a lame bunch. Just pick a team and stick with it.
To answer the question, I'd love a Lions-Bills SB but I think we'll get a Philthy-Chiefs rematch instead. :thumbdown:

Just a minor nitpick. I saw that you mentioned Detroit winning NFL championships. You didn't mention that Minnesota also won one they year they lost to the Chiefs. Leagues weren't merged yet. Minnesota still won the NFL Championship game. The same game Detroit won.

...Im with you, Chuck.

1 Viks
2 Lions
3 Bills
4 Chargers

.................just no KC or Beags. I actually feel Lions will represent the NFC
Hoping Bills for AFC.

Let me get this straight. 12 of the 32 teams have never won the Super Bowl. Isn't that around 30%? The Cowboys have won it 5 times and the fans here say they suck.

Well, you can look at it like the glass is half full. Of course since the Cowboys inception, we are currently in the longest streak without a championship game in franchise history. There are almost as many SB's played since we were in the last one. The last one we played in was SB 30. We won 5/30. Will be 0/29 soon. Flip side to every coin I guess.

If the cowboys are not in the SB I really do not care. I'll watch for the entertainment though.

Anyone but the Eagles, Commandoes, or the Chiefs.
I wouldn’t mind seeing KC having a shot at a three peat. I think it would be pretty cool to see a team like the Lions who have never even been to a SB upset KC.

Somehow I didn’t know that. Which SB was the first that was considered the actual championship?

It took the Chiefs 50 years to get where they are now.
