NFL Pro Bowl Week: Neon Deion vs. The Fumbling Fraud

31 teams sit at the losers table every season. The only difference is that some of us have more reason to believe that our team can actually win the Super Bowl.

Do Bills fans celebrate losing 4 straight Super Bowls? The answer to that question should settle this debate.

"If you ain't first you're last!"
 
Lol who is happy with not winning a sb? I said I'd rather be in contention than be a joke team. Not sure why that is so hard to grasp

It's like if I go out with a girl and my intention that night is to get in her ass. But then ultimately I only get a bj. Is it a failure if my ultimate goal was to get in her pooper? Yes. Is settling for a bj the worst thing ever? No. It's not like you went home and jacked off to crappy quality internet porn

It's pretty simple to me. I would rather my team be competitive and at least feel like they have a chance at winning it all than knowing after 6 games the season is fucking over. I think there's no question that in the end it's about winning it all.
 
No way.

Losing the SB or championship game hurts way more than sucking balls and missing the playoffs. I have lived though both many times. That shitty feeling following a bad playoff loss never goes away.

Yup.

Both of our AFC Championships loss still burn. But what's losing a Superbowl like? I am unfamiliar with such failures.
 
Personally I'm thrilled with the way the Dolphins' season ended, and I can show you why, with math. Have a look:

According to my infallible calculations (look it up, it's called statistics) the Dolphins will continue their current trend under Philbin of adding one win per season. This year was the most important of all because it helped set this trend for the foreseeable future. Of course, this means that by the year 2021 the Dolphins will be 16-0, and we all know that 16-0 teams are guaranteed to win the Super Bowl.

Everyone who criticizes Ross for keeping Philbin probably just needs to brush up on their math. I would suggest PM'ing bionic as he is the resident guru in this particular field. Hopefully this post will help shed some light on what should be a fairly easy to understand situation.

Look, all of this is really about team trajectories and expectations. If your team is shit, then you root for reason to hope. If you team is decent, you root for further improvement and making as much noise as possible. If your team is good, then you root to win it all.

It's fine to feel satisfied when your team overperforms and exceeds expectations, but when your team was good enough to win but couldn't, then you're fairly justified in feeling disappointment.

This sums up what I was going to say. The most painful losses in my opinion are the ones where you're expected to win. Having a chance to win and then losing, that's what stings the most in my opinion. A team that overexceeds expectations should feel positive and build on that. That's what I think.

Great stat I love is that this Seahawks team is the first team since the 90 Bills where no player has any SB experience. Wacky! Could be a good thing or bad thing. Going in fresh to it all could be overwhelming, but could just be another game.

and Greg, you were right, so much for my media blackout. =/ I'm watching every single video I can.

Nah if you aren't going to win the Super Bowl you should hope for your team to go 1-15

I've spent my life rooting for the Packers and Brewers. I know perennial contention and perennial Browns-dom. I was just as angry and pissed off when the Brewers lost to the Cardinals in the playoffs (actually much more so if I am being honest. Go die Roenicke) as I am when the Brewers get knocked out in May. There is no satisfaction in losing, even if you get slightly closer to winning than you did previously. You're still a fucking loser and you're going right back to the drawing board the next year.

If you didn't win the Super Bowl, you ended the season as a loser.
Losing sucks in all forms, but the closer you get the more it hurts.

The worst is when your team has the talent but doesn't show up or try. Second worst is when you lose by some bullshit fluke occurrence.

Shitty analogy.

The goal with women is to get off. You are still getting off even with the bj so in that respect your night was a success. You didn't win the SB, you just won the Taco Bell Championship in a lower league. But you were still a winner unlike some loser like Gata who is wanking off to naked alligators or whatever the hell they watch in florida.

SEATTLE — An electronic billboard in the Fife area has an image of Seattle Seahawks cornerback Richard Sherman, yelling with the caption, ‘ZERO CLASS’

Several viewers informed Q13 Fox about this billboard in the Fife/Milton area.

The company that owns the billboard is Emerald Outdoor Advertising of Spokane.

A company spokesman said 49ers fans in the San Francisco Bay area paid for the billboard. He said they’ve raised more than $34,000 and most of it will be going to Seattle Children’s Hospital.

I'm sure this is one of those "grass is always greener" or rather "grass is always less brown" type of things, but I'd much rather have the Super Bowl or conference championship game losses than just a perpetual factory of sadness. I don't think I'd be able to be a fan of a team like that for very long. Certainly not a pro team that I have no personal investment in. I already have no choice but to be an NC State fan, I'm not going to choose another shit stain of an athletics team to support.

FMT is clearly on the Eagles "it's cool to lose in the NFCCG" train if he equates it to getting a blow job.

To put it in terms FMT would understand, it's more like when your girl eats your shit and you are all excited because now you get to eat her shit, but then she breaks the restraints and gets the fuck out of your basement. I still don't know how you escaped prison time for that.

If the goal is always just getting off then why have fun leading up to that at all? Why fuck someone doggy style or get road head or have her shave her bush or look good? It's only the end result of your dick throwing up

She better be careful with how many pictures she takes with him. Doesn't take much to get a rumor started.

Too late. In my mind they already banged.

49ers will probably be fine, but nothing is guaranteed. Everyone thought the Packers were setup for multiple super bowl runs but they've only won one playoff game since the championship year, thanks to Joe Webb. This is with the best QB in the NFL and a free ride to the playoffs every year in that division.

Justin Smith and Patrick Willis were already slowing down, and now Bowman will be recovering from a serious knee injury. You have to think that defense will take a step back next year, and it will be up to Kaep and the offense to pick up the slack. In a tough division where they might be the 3rd best defense next year, who knows what their future holds.

You are only as good as you depth. This draft and last years rookies have to step it up for you guys. Which also means you front office has to do a great job finding more quality defensive players.

Don't know the 49ers FAs but assuming they will lose some quality starters due to FA and cap cuts, if they miss too much in the draft their window will close in another year or two.

why does anybody even watch football

Seriously this.

I know the odds of my Jets winning the SB in any given year is pretty slim. But I've still enjoyed the Rex Ryan era a great deal, they're fun to watch for a whole boat load of reasons. Great defense and some of the worst QB play you'll ever see. A head coach who is unlike any other. Some really awesome moments from beating Tom Brady's ass in the playoffs in New England all the way to the Buttfumble.

If you really can't enjoy watching your team play or what they've done in a year unless they've won the SB then why do you even watch sports? To be miserable every 20 years so you can enjoy it for a few months?

Remember sport fans tend to eat more after a loss, that's why I have to keep such a strict workout plan...fucken dolphins

Losing the SB or championship game hurts way more than sucking balls and missing the playoffs. I have lived though both many times. That shitty feeling following a bad playoff loss never goes away.

To put it in terms you would understand. Losing when so close to the Super Bowl would be like Alyssa Milano getting naked and than straddling you getting ready for a sexy release of feces on your chest and then right before it happened changing her mind and fucking your Afro American roommate. Playoff blue balls are the worst.

Here is how I see it. Before Reid and McNabb the Eagles were consistently terrible. Like god awful bad.

Getting to the playoffs, then seeing improvements each season, each game, becoming dominant, and ultimately becoming a good team which won the division every year and was a top 2 seed was fucking amazing. It was all because where we were coming from.

But then it got old. Losing every year in the playoffs and the 3 straight NFCGs. And then it hurt a lot. I would trade all those great years but ultimate failures for just 1 SB.

Still I would rather be in contention and one of the top teams in the league every year than ever go back to the 3-13, 5-11, or 4-12 seasons. If the question is would you rather win a win a SB then of course fucking yes give me 10 years of terrible and I'll take that 1 SB. If the question is would you rather be a top 2 team in your conference, 1-2 plays away from the SB, and maybe a few changes/upgrades away from winning it all OR be one of those perpetual crappy teams which don't even sniff the playoffs, I rather take the heartbreak in the playoffs.

Its why I don't get why BLarry bitches so much about Flacco and his contract. Obviously they need some time now (2-3 seasons) to rebuild into a dominant team but that has as much to do with Flacco's contract as it does with the retiring, aging, and not as good veterans which they lost or let go. With Newsome in charge and best Harbaugh coaching them, I would be shocked if they aren't a top AFC team by next year or two.

In the 49ers case, they are young at QB, have a great coach, have a great D, good OLINE, and good WRs. They do need upgrades, as does every team, but they aren't in decline.

I think a better analogy is a choice between having no interaction with women at all while not getting laid, or having women who'll spend time with you, cuddle, make out, let you touch them and lick them and finger them, on your birthday you might even be able to stick the tip in...but you never fuck to finish or get off in any way.

Both are painful, but ultimately it comes down to whether you prefer a constant less intense pain with no pleasure or a decent bit of pleasure with an extreme pain that cuts down to the very core of your being.

As bad as the last 3 seasons have ended, it's definitely preferable to the near decade of mediocrity that preceded it.

Give them time. Let them experience a decade or two of being sub .500 teams without any improvement, franchise QB, or foreseeable successful future.

You don't remember that video?

I remember it happening. The event I mean but I never seen it.

Is it worth it?

No, it doesn't because no one ever claimed 16 losses is better than a playoff loss. The point was they both suck. And in your analogy, both options fucking suck. You don't have to have a preference because the original discussion offered no such choice.

Also you creep me out.

I think the preference comes into play because people keep bring up duce2222 who claimed he would PREFER 3 straight NFCG losses to winning 1 SB and then being shitty for a decade.

I'm just shocked you Niners fans are actually arguing against Deacon, myself, ez and others on this. You guys should have higher standards considering your history. Being happy with a losing season is talk reserved for delusional Lions fans.

That's never been my stance. We should have won the last 2 Super Bowls and gone on to play in this one to claim the three-peat that was missed earlier in 1990. Settling for less when that was a realistic possibility doesn't make sense to me.

It wasn't meant to be a 1:1 comparison. But it fits. 1/32 guys get laid. The rest fall at various points along the spectrum, from Pussy Quarantine to Captain Blue Bulls.

Check your PM at 3:17am if you really want me to creep you out.

Hey, Seattle lost in the divisional round in 2011 after going 7-9 (which I totally called) and beating the defending Super Bowl champions.

I was pretty happy at the time. Soon San Francisco can find happiness just beating us at home.

Yes, yes, I know, but damn if I'm not enjoying this after all the shit talked earlier.

Some creep who worked there found out which room she would be in and reversed the eyehole on the door. Then he stood in the hallway with some spycam attached to it and recorded her. People saw him doing it and he apparently didn't care. He got arrested and all that but by then it was on the internet
 
There's a difference between evaluating whether or not you have all the pieces to actually win the Super Bowl and being happy with the outcome of your season.

I dunno, maybe because Green Bay has had a great quarterback for 20+ years (and a good Majkowski before Favre...so 25 years) that every season we don't win is a quantifiable failure.

I'm just shocked you Niners fans are actually arguing against Deacon, myself, ez and others on this. You guys should have higher standards considering your history. Being happy with a losing season is talk reserved for delusional Lions fans.
Totally agree with the Niner fans then.

Super bowl win >>>> making the playoffs >> irrelevance.

You don't even get to watch 16 meaningful games when your team is garbage.
