<div><b><font size="4">26. BUFFALO BILLS</font></b></div>

<div><b><img style="margin: 8px 8px 8px 0px;" title="" alt="" src="http://www.coldhardfootballfacts.com/Images/SimpsonOJ.jpg" align="left" height="251" width="180">First Bills season:</b> 1960<b>&nbsp;</b></div>

<div><b>&nbsp;</b></div>
<div><b>Face of the Bills franchise:</b> O.J. Simpson<b>&nbsp;</b></div>
<div><b>&nbsp;</b></div>
<div><b>Greatest Bills&nbsp;players: </b>Joe DeLamielleure, <a href="/Articles/11_2061_Only_a_flake_would_doubt_the_Curse_of_Flutie.html">Doug Flutie</a>, Jim Kelly, Andre Reed, Billy Shaw, Bruce Smith, Simpson, Thurman Thomas<b>&nbsp;</b></div>
<div><b>&nbsp;</b></div>
<div><b>Greatest Bills coach: </b>Marv Levy (1986-97), 112-70 (.615) – The force behind Buffalo’s near-dynastic status of the 1990s and the only man to bring a team to four straight Super Bowls. <b>&nbsp;</b></div>
<div><strong>&nbsp;</strong></div>

<div><strong>Bills claim to fame:</strong> Lost four straight Super Bowls; greatest player (allegedly) killed his wife. </div>
<div><b>&nbsp;</b></div>
<div><b>It never got any better for Bills fans than it did on: </b>Jan. 20, 1991</div>
<div>The Bills never looked better than they did on this day, with a 51-3 thrashing of the Raiders in the AFC championship game, just a week after they hung 44 on hated divisional rival Miami in the divisional playoffs. The Bills were fresh off a franchise-record 13-win season and headed into the Super Bowl with the No. 1 scoring offense in football and playing at the peak of its offensive power … then they couldn’t get Ottis Anderson off the field and Scott Norwood missed a field goal.<b>&nbsp;</b></div>
<div>&nbsp;</div>
<div><b><em><font size="4">Bills overview:</font></em></b></div>
<div>No group of fans have been kicked in the gonads by their team and by sporting society at large more often than fans of the Bills. </div>
<div>&nbsp;</div>
<div>It pretty much says it all when your greatest player is best remembered for committing the crime of the century, your greatest quarterback couldn’t <a href="/Articles/11_847_Bachelors_VI.html">nail anybody better than a B-list wrestling star</a> and your greatest accomplishment is losing four straight title games – one of the them of the aforementioned painful kick-in-the-nuts variety, the other three of the bloody, humiliating, woodshed-beating variety. </div>

<div>&nbsp;</div>
<div>But at least the Bills can look back upon their mid-60s dominance of the old AFL, when they won two championships, and their early 1990s dominance of the AFC. Fans in six other cities wish they ever had it so good.

Can't argue too much with the top ten, but franchises like Seattle, Jacksonville and Tennessee ranked above us? Jacksonville has to cover 10,000 or so of their upper deck seats to sell out a smaller stadium, for crissakes, and how many SBs have they been to?

Lists like this, except for the obvious choices, are pretty lame.

Missy Hyatt ripped on Jim Kelly's skills in a book. Minute man claims.

Folks, it's the offseason. Speculation about Jim Kelly's sexual prowess....hrmm.

This is by far the stupidest one of these lists that I have ever read.

(And that's saying a lot!)

I would put us and Cleveland both somewhere around 14 and 15.

And the face of the franchise is Jim Kelly.

Any list that has Doug Flutie as an all time great and not Kent Hull, Jack Kemp, Cookie Gilchrist, Darryl Talley, Cornelius Bennet, Joe Ferguson, Jerry Butler, Fred Smerlas or any of many other players that are slipping my mind is worthless.
