Would You Rather win a Super Bowl this year or make the playoffs 8 of next 10 years?

[gtb1943]

That's like....the whole point of the question. Its a would you choose this, or that" scenario. Why not just look at the other 98 million threads and avoid if it's so dumb.

A) 1 SB in 10 years, 7-10 for 8 years
B) playoffs EVERY year...but not Superbowl.

1943: "I choose the option where we win the SuperBowl 12 times in 10 years, and where I win 50 million dollars, and find the fountain of youth"

Thanks for participating

must be a lawyer. That is the kind of twisted 'logic' they get criminals off

 

[Momanpr100]

Super Bowl duh.

Like asking me if I’d rather win the lottery or come close 10 times.

So the Cowboys winning the SB will be equivalent to YOU winning the lottery?

 

[Creeper]

Super Bowl, but there is no reason they should have to miss the playoffs that many years afterwards.

 

[gtb1943]

I get what your saying here Z but Landry was more than 2 SBs in 28 years. (He was actually here 29 seasons)

• 20 playoff wins in 29 seasons. (Since Landry left, we have won 16 playoff games in 35 seasons; 4 in the last 27)
• 2 SB wins
• 5 NFC championships
• 7 conference championship games in 10 years (We have played in zero in the last 27 years)
• 20 straight winning seasons

Yeah the guy certainly cherry picked didn't he?

1. Win a SB this year, then go 7-10 for the next 10 years, missing the playoffs each year

—or—

2. Make the playoffs 8 out of the next 10 years, but never advancing past the NFC Championship Game (or worse)

Why?

Great question - Super Bowl. No doubt.

 

[gtb1943]

Super Bowl, but there is no reason they should have to miss the playoffs that many years afterwards.

That is why I really think the question as posed is not realistic/

YET I guess you could say we have been doing the so called relevant thing for quite a while BUT NEVER GETTING CLOSE to winning it all.

SO I say that since we have been living a pretender existence I say we go all out to be a real contender. Too much ashes in the mouth at the end of every season

 

[Whyjerry]

Might be the dumbest thread of all time

You know what’s dumber?

People that opine on the validity of a thread. That is truly dumb.

 

[noshame]

I am happy to see nobody took the participation trophy option.

 

[gtb1943]

Remember with Landry he took a brand new franchise that had a tougher row to hoe than any other since then
1) NO DRAFT
2) The AFC started up the same time and the competition for the best players got even tougher
3) What the NFL allowed the boys to take from all the other teams was truly drek

YET despite all that he got the team competitive in 65 and to the NFL championship game in 66 and kept the team in the conversation for the next 20 years.
We were nearly always in the playoffs and pushing for the Championship Game and SB.
So that is what makes the question kind of dumb since we already have in our franchise history make a third option which is being in contention all the time and also winning it all or being in the Big Game every few years.

The Cowboys opened the door for them twice that season, once in the regular season and once in the playoffs.

They were on the ropes at 6-6 going into the first Cowboys game in December and they won 37-34 in the last minute. That game gave them life.

Our D was not good enough to win that Superbowl vs the Patriots, the Giants D was.

 

[Captain43Crash]

My problem with our FO is that I do not believe they are fully committed to winning a SB.
Making money and staying 'relevant' is.

Jerry admitted this! After a terrible high scoring collapse vs GB he gleefully said, “it’s about the show”.

Why?

Yeah here's the problem if we have to go all in for a Super Bowl how long are we gonna be bad after it that's the problem here there is a third option it's build a winner that can win a Super Bowl and keep winning not fall off a Cliff and then take another five or six years to even get relative again I don't think that that's that great I mean we had three Super Bowls leading up to that debacle from from 2000 to about 2006 six or seven really bad years... Going through all that again I mean it doesn't seem like it's worth it is it because people are complaining we haven't won another Super Bowl but yet we won three of them so we have some credit we had not been part of the longest drought ever in NFL sports history of not winning another Super Bowl literally there's teams that took 60 years some that took 51 between their wins there are longer droughts right now where teams don't have any Super Bowls...

So yeah this is not an either or question Jimmy it depends on what we're going to do after the Super bowl... I'm going to watch the Rams really close because they did that they sold out and now we're gonna find out how long it takes them to get back to being in the playoffs every year and having another shot....

So I'm not gonna choose I'll just let real life happen and we'll just see what's ahead...

 

[blueblood70]

Of course a Super Bowl! This is a no brainer.

There are 32 teams. On average that means 1 Super Bowl win every 32 years.

With this scenario it is 1 Super Bowl win in 10 years!

Actually it's not a no brainer that's why there's varying opinions in this very thread about it..

Buffalo Bills 1989 - 1998

1. 1989 - Lost AFC Divisional game
2. 1990 - Lost Super Bowl
3. 1991 - Lost Super Bowl
4. 1992 - Lost Super Bowl
5. 1993 - Lost Super Bowl
6. 1994 - Did not make the playoffs
7. 1995 - Lost AFC Divisional game
8. 1996 - Lost AFC Wild Card game
9. 1997 - Did not make the playoffs
10. 1998 - Lost AFC Wild Card game

Perhaps the question should be posted in a Bills forum, lol.

That is probably 100% true but it won't happen because people around here think they have an elite quarterback that can do no wrong and that it's all the team issues of why they can't get back and win a Super Bowl..hmmm

Wait. What is 'probably' 100% true?

 

[DuceizBak]

This is an easy question to answer. Superbowl.

Now if you said there is a 35% chance we make it to the NFC Championship and a 15% chance we reached the superbowl I'd be all ears for the second one.

 

[blueblood70]

That we should probably mention other teams and call them out as much as we do our own and they are a prime candidate I was agreeing with you why you wanna stir up trouble...

 

[Nexx]

give me a Super Bowl Title and I will gladly take 10 years of suckin there after.

Stirring up trouble? Calling out other teams? This is more than what actually happened.

The OP posed a question. I illustrated an actual historical example that perfectly framed the question. That is all that I posted.

I would not have questioned you if you had said 'That is 100% true' because I posted what the Bills accomplished from 1989 through 1998. You added probably, as if that franchise's seasonal results between 1989 through 1998 may not have happened? And I am 'stirring up trouble' for simply asking how you concluded what happened probably happened?

Okay.



A couple walks outside their house. One notices their driveway and all their neighbors' driveways are soaking wet. They turn to the other person and says, "It probably rained before we stepped out of the house." The other person asks, "Probably?"

And you missed the sarcasm went right over your head and your long reply says you need another cup of coffee
