Hey, let's not forget the Bills, they made the Super Bowl 3 more times after they lost it

Yeah, and notice after Norwood's miss they never came close to winning another one.

The AFC wasn't that deep back then and the Bills were loaded with Hall of Famers. Their chief rivals were the Bengals and, after their one shot at the big game, they never threatened to make it back.

I didn't want to seem like I was partly blaming the refs for Arizona losing...the refs were just more involved than should be needed.

It will be very tough for both teams to get back to the Super Bowl next season. Recently, even some of the winners don't fair well.

It looks like Pittsburgh is going to be a great team for the next couple of years, at least. It's not as though the SB teams are falling off the map...the Giants did very well, and the Colts shook a shaky start to make the playoffs, and the Pats are pretty much always good (at least, this decade). I predict the Steelers make the playoffs and go fairly deep.

If I correctly read a stat that I saw on TV last night, and I think I did, the last Super Bowl losing team to win a playoff game the following year was the 1972 Miami Dolphins. What a staggering statistic! (I'm trying to find this online; I caught a snippet about it on ESPN last night. I may be wrong but again, don't think so.)

Nah, the Buffalo Bills went to 4 Super Bowls in a row, so there's that for ya.

BTW the '72 Dolphins went undefeated that year and they won the Super Bowl

I totally missed this thread.

I grew up on Bills football. You have to admit that the record of reaching 4 Super Bowls in a row (furthermore, to lose all of them) is unlikely to be broken. I bought a Super Bowl XXV t-shirt in a thrift store once. And one of my fantasy teams is named "Norwood All-Stars.

But I don't think the AFC was that weak back then. Yeah, the Patriots were garbage, but there were always teams like Miami, Denver, and Houston ( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Com...ican_football) ) who later got their revenge ( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Music_City_Miracle ). The NFC was much better then, but I think that was the glory days of quarterbacks. Elway, Kelly, Montana, Young, Aikman, Marino, Esiason, all of those guys were studs. Now you have your Favre's and Mannings and Bradys, but those older guys to me seem like classic quaterbacks.

Also, even last year I was thinking this, but the idea of the AFC as totally superior to the NFC is no longer true, and the tides are changing.
