Is this the best team that didn't win a Superbowl?

No way to prove it but no, you are just wrong.  Sorry.  Today's receivers wouldn't even know how to get open playing under the rules back then.

I mean, or you could look at it the other way, Those db's wouldn't know how to stop our receivers with all the restrictions they have today.

No.  1990 Buffalo Bills when they lost to the Giants (Led by the non pro bowler Hosteltler).

Jim Kelly.  Bruce Smith.  Darryl Talley, Thurman Thomas, Andre Reed, Leon Seals, Don Beebe, Pete Metzelaars, Frank Reich, Kent Hull, Cornelius Bennet, Nate Odomes .. shoot man it just goes on and on but that's who I can remember.

Bruh

Cam >>>>>>>> Jim Kelly at any point

Stewart = Thomas

Luke >>>>>>>>>>>> Darryl Talley on his best day

Bruce Smith, probably an advantage there over our DL individually but as a DL,  us >>>> them

Kony Ealy or CJ >>>>>> Leon Seals, who had a whole 4 sacks in '90

Hell Don Beebe's barely ahead of Ginn tbh. Better hands, less speed

Olsen >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> Metzelaars

I could keep going, but if we're going by matchups, nah.

No I dont think so.   I think our record might have been better than we were.  We were really good though and nothing to be ashamed of.   Next years team is going to have a chip on its shoulder , so look out NFL.   The Panthers were introduced this year.  Next year they are going to really get to know us.

No, New England. And they played better in that first SB that they lost to the G Men. They went undefeated so we still talk about them. No one will talk about us, outside of us.

that's bullshit. you need to take a break from here for everyone else's sake

I think you are misunderstanding my loyalties here.  I'm not defending the 1990 Bills over the 2015 Panthers.

 

But there is no doubt that the Bills of 1990 were more dominant than the 2015 Panthers.  You'll have to wait 3 more years to prove this wrong.  

I'm not getting into a pissing contest tonight so I'll just admit that you are right.  Now my Mom is yelling at me from upstairs to turn the computer off so I have to go to bed now.

I know you're not defending them, I'm just saying when you analyze those matchups, it's a lot closer than you may initially think.

This team caught lightning in a bottle and then pissed it all away against a team that couldn't get out of its own way on offense.  We might go 14-2 next year or we might go 9-7 who the fug knows.  To pretend like this team is the greatest ever at anything is the height of idiocy and only goes to show how little you know about anything.  Basically we are a historical afterthought.  If anything we will be a punchline that all other successful teams will be compared to going into the SB as what not to do.

That's exactly right.  Until we win a SuperBowl there will always be a confidence gap.  Even a great team needs an incredible amount of luck (bouncing balls, favorable calls) to get to the SuperBowl.  We got there and we needed to win it.  As deep as our talent pool is there is no guarantee that  Cam or Luke will ever smell another SuperBowl.
