Thanks for ruining what could be an otherwise interesting thread

Was coming to say this. I don't think I ever got over them losing to San Fran in 2011. That offense was one of a kind and they would have had the Giants at home in the NFCCG if they could have gotten one stop.

Damn forgot they made the CCG in 88 still 1 SB appearance 3 NFCCG with 2 of those beat downs by SF
And two losses to the Redskins. All three playoff losses after '85 were at home as the higher seed. I agree, the Bears might be the winner here.
I also agree that the Bills don't really fit what the OP is asking. Yeah, they lost 4 straight SBs, but they were clearly the inferior team in 3 of them, and the AFC wasn't as strong as the NFC. Really good teams, but it might be unfair to say they underachieved.

The Bad News Bears (1976-2005)
They should have won it all every season!

shite, the 2020s Bills are about to be one. All those great teams and never making the AFC championship.

Caps with Ovechkin should’ve had more than one cup. Mismanagement and a stubbornness by the front office along with running into the Penguins seemingly every year messed that up.

No cap. The uncalled helmet to helmet on Pierre Thomas pisses me off to this day.

They didn't fall off a cliff immediately after Buddy left but just slowly got worse with injuries and then worse and before you had turned around this Super Team was mediocre and fans wanted Ditka fired.
That's who beat the '85 Bears....the Bears themselves.
It’s hard to achieve multiple Super Bowls in the NFL without a HOF coach and/or QB (ideally both). The Bears had neither.
The ‘85 Bears were great, but I don’t think they were built to last. The 49ers of the same era were better and the NFC in general was pretty damn tough.

SF knocking out Pierre and then the refs fricking us vs. the Rams pretty much killed it

Do the current buffalo bills count?

San Jose Sharks from like 2003-2011. Had some really good teams that could just never get over the hump.

Or maybe because the Pens were just straight up better?

Disagree on Bills
Minnesota, Denver, and Buffalo all got to the Super Bowl for one reason.
Their stadiums were outdoors. To beat them in playoffs, you usually had to play them in January, outside. Big advantage.
The Bills had a solid defense anchored by Bruce Smith, with Cornelius Bennett and Darryl Talley at linebacker, etc.
That offense remains the best in franchise history. Kelly is the alltime leading passer, Thurman Thomas the alltime leading WR, Andre Reed the alltime receiver and so forth. They absolutely should have beat the Giants.

Every year post 2009 has been a complete failure. Cashman is the king of underachieving and it won’t stop until he’s gone.

Outside of SF no one in that era won with a HOF QB. The Raiders won 2 with Jim Plunkett, The Giants 1with Simms and 1 with Hoestler and the Redskins 3 with 3 different non HOF QBs. Wash and NYG did have HOF coaches of course.

Yeah, but they had to contend with Detroit and Colorado who were absolute alphas.

I thought the Seahawks with Russell Wilson, Marshawn and the Legion of Boom were a young team that had 3-4 titles in them. That one play derailed everything.
