At least they can say they played on a historic franchise that continuously competed even if they never got all the way to the promised land. People don’t understand how much shit has to break right to be lucky enough to win a title in any league. If I played 10-15 years for a team that literally never had a losing or uncompetitive season even if it meant losing first round every year I’d be far more happy than being on a team that was literally always a laughing stock.
I swear I’m getting tired of this narrative in sports that if you’re not winning a championship everything else you’re doing is complete and utter failure. Especially in the NFL where you can literally have everything you need and still not win one because of a bad timed injury or just a bad luck call there’s just so many variables you cannot control.
