Re: D Hop released
I agree 100% that the “higher goal” is always the ultimate goal.
The crapping on getting to the playoffs (especially if done repeatedly) as the equivalent of "a participation trophy” or that "Nobody cares unless it ends with a” SB title....or getting in the playoffs is “scraps” or "simply getting to the playoffs doesn’t mean anything” is what is total rubbish.
Another interesting fact when looking at the data of consecutive playoff seasons is (duh!) the longer the streak the higher the chances to get into and win a Super Bowl.
Nine of the fifteen times a team has had 4 consecutive playoff seasons, they did not even get into the SB. The six times they did get to the SB (every team that did, did so only once) four lost the game and two won.
Four of the thirteen times a team has had 5 consecutive playoff seasons, they did not even get into the SB.
One of the seven times a team has had 6 consecutive playoff seasons, they did not even get into the SB.
One of the two times a team has had 7 consecutive playoff seasons, they did not even get into the SB (Houston Oilers, 1987-1993).
NONE of the six times a team has had 8 consecutive playoff seasons....or the two times a team has had 9 consecutive playoff seasons....or the ONE team that has had 11 consecutive playoff seasons, they did not get into a Super Bowl.
Only one of those teams did not win a Super Bowl during their streak....1979 LA Rams...the one time they got there.
The chart is very interesting....
It’s pretty obvious, as the Bills extend their consecutive playoff streak the chances they get into and win the SB gets better and better.
It should go without saying (but it does) getting into the playoffs year after year simply means that the team is performing at an extremely high level. Yeah, the Bills have not won a Super Bowl...YET. But, they will.
