because you my friend are a showboating Hens fan?
Agreed they lost steam, effort, and heart in your series
because you Javon Favre are a showboating Hens fan?
I hate the Hens (I hope you mean Sens) i'm a loyal Leafs fan who cheered for Buffalo in that series. It's just that Buffalo struggled to beat alot of the elite teams in the regular season and it's not like they ran away with the presidents trophy.

I don't care what anyone says, the best team that didn't win a championship was in soccer.
Dutch National team World Championships of 1974. We earned it, we deserved it, we were the better team (led by the almighty Johan Cruijff), those damn germans had no business winning that game, but they did.

Yet again another "best of thread" that is going to show almost no historical depth. Seriously, just say "best in the last 10-20 years". That's all almost anyone can remember or is informed about. The 2003 Chiefs? Come on....
By the way, if you can't even make the championship game (or get out of the first round in the case of the Mavericks) you have absolutely no business in the discussion. I also think you need to be good for at least 3-4 years.
A few nominations.
-Minnesota Vikings of the 1970's.
-Cleveland Indians of the 1990's.
-First Buffalo Superbowl team (the rest were clearly inferior and the product of a very weak AFC)

That was a great regular season team, but it wasn't a dominate team. If they were they would have at least made the World Series once. The years surrounding that one big year were pretty underwhelming.

I still think the Dutch soccer team of '74 owns them all. Many dutchmen (including myself, and I was born 12 years later!) are still pissed about losing that one. We were the best. By a landslide.

Winning in the playoffs for starters.
They might have been a really good team that one year, but you can match them up against other teams that didn't win the series and it wouldn't be close. Hell, they couldn't get past 5 games against a team that also didn't win the series.

Miami Hurricanes of 2002-2003 were amazing.

Those are some recent teams, I am sure alot of really good teams from a while back didn't win when everyone thought they would.

That team has five potential hall of famers in the lineup with Thome, Alomar, Vizquel, Lofton, and Ramirez. Not to mention Fryman, Justice, Baines, Sexson and Roberts who all were or became pretty productive players. That's one hell of a collection of position players.

I'm not sure you can make that statement with so much certainty. Their big 3 strikers have all been underachieving lately as they did in the World Cup while their defense was spotty and old. France exposed their defense as I'm sure Italy, Argentina, Portugal or Germany would have. Their midfield was ridiculous but I blame their Coach for selecting a roster with too many players who are past their prime. They favoured guys from the Brazilian league a little too much while ignoring dynamic playmakers like Diego.

The Rams and Buccaneers would slug it out for most of the game, with the Buccaneers defense holding the Rams highly-potent offense in check. Tampa Bay, weak on offense, would only muster two field goals, and gave up a costly safety in the second quarter when a bad snap from center went over the head of rookie quarterback Shaun King and out of the endzone. Despite this, the Buccaneers nursed an unusual 6-5 lead into the 4th Quarter. The Rams broke open a defense dominated game when Kurt Warner threw a touchdown pass to Ricky Proehl with 4:44 left in the game. The Buccaneers would mount a drive on their final possession, however a controversial replay overturned what appeared to be a reception by Buccaneers wide receiver Bert Emanuel, and the Buccaneers never recovered.
On the first play of the game, Bucs defensive end Steve White intercepted a screen pass from Warner on the Rams 20-yard line, setting up a 25-yard field goal from Martin Gramatica. But that was all they could manage in the first quarter. On one possesion, they moved the ball to the St. Louis 23-yard line, but then King was sacked and fumbled. Tampa Bay recovered the ball, but lost 12 yards and were pushed out of field goal range. Then with 11 seconds left in the period, King threw a pass from the St. Louis 41-yard line that went right into the surprised arms of defensive back Todd Lyght. The Rams didn't do much better. After Gramatica's field goal, they drove 74 yards in 16 plays before a fumbled handoff from Warner to Marshall Faulk on third down forced them to settle for a 24-yard field goal by Jeff Wilkins. Then on their next drive, Wilkins missed a field goal attempt from 44 yards.
In the second quarter, a high snap from Bucs center Tony Mayberry went over King's head and into the end zone. King managed to knock the ball out of the end zone to prevent a touchdown, but it gave the Rams a safety and a 5-3 lead. This would be the score by halftime, despite the Rams 159-75 advantage over the Buccaneers in total yards.
Just as in the first half, Tampa Bay scored a field goal on their opening drive on the third quarter, set up by a 32-yard reception by Jacquez Green and a 15-yard facemask penalty on Taje Allen. Meanwhile, Warner intercepted three times by the Buccaneers defense, including a costly interception to Hardy Nickerson on the Tampa Bay 3-yard line. But late in the fourth quarter, Rams defensive back Dre' Bly intercepted a pass from King at the Buccaneers 49-yard line. A few plays later, Warner threw a 30-yard touchdown pass to Proehl with 4:44 left, taking a 11-6 lead after the two point conversion failed. But despite being sacked twice, King responed by leading the Bucs to the St. Louis 22-yard line. With 47 seconds left in the game, his potential 11-yard completion for a first down to Bert Emanuel was overturned by a replay challenge. Then King threw two consecutive incompletions, turning the ball over on downs.

whose complaining? this is a thread about great times not winning a championship. So i'm wrong to bring them up in this thread? go figure
no you are complaining about one game. big deal. be lucky the team has one play rather than 345 to complain about.

Brazil had far and away the best talent of anyone in the World Cup. But they weren't the best team.
I'm still pissed australia got knocked out because some loser took a dive.

Saying Charlie Manuel is stupid is an insult to stupid people around the planet. You should be ashamed.
So very true...
They should just come out with an insult "Charlie Manuel"
Be like
"You are so damn Charlie Manuel."
It would be the ultimate burn.

Actually the new insult is going to be calling someone an Oscar Wilde. It's spreading around my school already. Started by me.

Yet again another "best of thread" that is going to show almost no historical depth. Seriously, just say "best in the last 10-20 years". That's all almost anyone can remember or is informed about. The 2003 Chiefs? Come on....
By the way, if you can't even make the championship game (or get out of the first round in the case of the Mavericks) you have absolutely no business in the discussion. I also think you need to be good for at least 3-4 years.
A few nominations.
-Minnesota Vikings of the 1970's.
-Cleveland Indians of the 1990's.
-First Buffalo Superbowl team (the rest were clearly inferior and the product of a very weak AFC)
Uggh. 95 points in two games followed up by 20 minutes of possession.
I agree about that team in comparison to the next few. :( Uggghhhhhhhhhhhhh

I choked on beef jerky once. My parents were freaking out. I just shoved my hands down there and pulled out a piece like 6 inches long.

Hahaha still pissed at Totti? Italy would've won anyways. It would've been just prolonging the inevitable if they didn't call it.
