Best teams to never win a Super Bowl

[RavenMad31]

And as we all know there is a massive difference between winning a regular season game against a team whose focus was beating their nemesis in the playoffs a few weeks later and ramping it up in the playoffs which the Oilers were utterly incapable of doing in that era.

Because - they were the Oilers. Who couldn't even beat the Chiefs... at home. The Chiefs... who were beaten easily by the Bills the following week.

Cowboys would have steamrolled them in the playoffs - Niners would have too. The Oilers of that era simply were not built for playoff football.

It hurts because it's true.

Only pain I feel is from Jimmy leaving and a chance at 4 consecutive Super Bowl trophies leaving with him. That and the gas from those terrific enchiladas I had last night.

Speaking of which... I’ll be back.

I thought that ship had sailed under Jimmy's last year when they dug an early hole against the Niners and couldn't quite come back. Was that under Barry?

Yep. The 21-0 Niners lead 7 minutes into the 1st Quarter... and the infamous personal foul against Barry that effectively killed a scoring drive... and the PI against Deion that wasn’t called... and probably Troy Aikman’s greatest game. Anyone questioning Aikman’s greatness should watch that entire game.

I don't have much problem with the Top 5... and the '68 Cowboys belong there. That was one serious kick in the nuts for young Otis.

Only team missing (IMO) - the '78 Cowboys that lost to the Steelers in SB XIII. That game was for the team of the decade and both teams were great that season. Steelers sealed their destiny as a dynasty. Had the Cowboys won - it would have been the other way around.

I still haven't gotten over losing Super Bowl V. We were such a more superior team than the Colts. And the Doomsday I defense gave the Cowboy offense several opportunities to blow that game out early. I know football is a team sport, but one player, and one player only gave that game away to the Colts.
