In the movie “Hoosiers” Gene Hackman’s character, Norman Dale asks his players, “How many times do you pass the ball?” His players yell back “FOUR”. NFL fans yell to Bills fans, “How many Super Bowls are you going to lose?” The Bills fans yell back, “STFU”.

Yes for all the dog and pony shows the number four continues to haunt the Buffalo Bills and their fan base as we have noticed over the last few slides. Four consecutive Super Bowl appearances has never been achieved by any other NFL team in league history. It would mean something if it didn’t come with the asterisk that say, “number of wins – Zero”.

Bills fans like to make fun of the fact that Miami celebrates its perfect season of 1972 but the Bills are perfect as well and they too should honor greatness. Perfectly defeated in all of their Super Bowl attempts.

So while the 1972 team inevitably comes up when Bills fans chide the Dolphins fans and how that ’72 teams continues to brag and pop champagne after each perfect team loses their last game, the response is four fingers held high.

Bills fans have only seen the Lombardy Trophy in pictures. So at the top of this page is another one for ya!

How many Super Bowls have you lost? FOUR!
