Could this be the Bills year?
As Bills fans, we ask that every year, is this the year the Cardiac Boys surprise us with one hell of a ride?
It’s not likely, but were there for them every Sunday (or Monday) anyways with our high hopes and loud jeers. But if you look at the numbers in the right way, the Bills are already in elite company.
They are the only team in the history of the league to make it to count them, four Super Bowls in a row – a feat that is likely not to be repeated. They are also hold the distinction of losing all four of those Super Bowls, another record that everyone in Buffalo needs no reminder of. But if you take a special look at the Super Bowl numbers, and we do have something over someone, at least.
Of 32 franchises, only half of them have ever won the big game, with 16 teams making it to the big dance and winning.
The Bills are in special company with only 7 other teams, 8 total to have made the Super Bowl and not won.
Of those 8 teams, only two of them had more than one visit to the show, Minnesota.
Teams that have never made it to Super Bowl Sunday are the Cleveland Browns; Cleveland Browns/Baltimore Ravens; Jacksonville Jaguars, Houston Oilers/Tennessee Titans; New Orleans Saints, San Diego Charges, Houston Texans, and the Detroit Lions.
At least the Bills can say they have been there. Could this be the year?

UPDATE
The Eagles and Bengals did make it to more than one Super Bowl, with both teams going 0-2 in the big game. I also mis-counted on what teams have made the Super Bowl and not won, which should be at 10, instead of 8. I apologize for not clicking one more page and getting the most accurate information for you. Check here for a complete win/loss record for the Super Bowl.
