Which is the more under-achieving sports franchise?
With the recent monumental choke of Dem Cowboys (sorry TXSTYLE )
![]() .had lots of past success .HUGE fanbases, to the point that they are often referred to as 'America's Team' and 'Canada's Team' jokingly or not .crazy amount of (irrational) haters .some annoying, stereotypical fans always saying "THIS IS THE YEAR!!!!!" and start acting arrogant, etc (btw real fans are way more realistic and good ppl haha) until the playoff loss and the tables turn w them getting their Xs handed to them by other teams' fans lmao .manage to be 'one-and-done' for what seems like an eternity So...which team is more of an underachiever? In the Leafs' defence, I would say that in many of their 'failures', they weren't really the favorite. Case-in-point, the crazy 4-1 choke vs those damn Bruins in 2013, they were the big underdogs but managed to take Boston to a G7 and have a late lead, so pffft, whoopie-doo, the Bruins finally did what they were supposed to do w/i 6 games or less; *Boston* were the ones who should be embarrassed for almost choking to an upstart. That one against Columbus as a toss-up, that one against the Capitals they should lose. I can't really remember the others haha, but anyway, all I gotta say is (was it last year?), the moment I saw Dak being a multi-millionaire and all wearing that nasty, loose-fitting suit giving his playoff postgame concession speech, that did it for me, no way he's gonna take that team further. ![]() ![]()

any team with 5 superbowl rings, even if they were 30 years ago, doesnt belong in this convo when there are teams like the Lions and Browns still in the league.
Now, most underachieving franchise? sure, the Cowboys.

100% biased take since this is my home team: The Minnesota Vikings are one of the most under-performing sports franchises. I believe they are in the top 5 for the most wins of any NFL team, but they also are 0 and 4 in the superbowl (with the last SB appearance being in the 70's). Since I started watching them they have been to 4 NFC championship games: two of which they were blown out, and the other two they lost in a heartbreaking way. And mark my words, with the other NFC north teams on the upswing and getting better the Vikings will stay around .500 for the next 2 to 3 years resulting in another coach and GM change. On top of that Justin Jefferson will want out in a couple years to go to a contending team. I'm 43 and I am already concerned they will never win a superbowl in my lifetime.

Every NFL team that hasn't won a single Superbowl. 38% of the league. Ironic part is fans of these complete failure franchises talk sh*t about other franchises.
Bills by far...they continue to fumble opportunities. When does Josh Allen start getting the Dak treatment? Last edited by M3WC; 01-25-2024 at 05:26 PM.. |

Josh seems to have toned it down but he's gotta stop playing hero ball and just make the (easier) yardage plays. TB gave him a lecturing/advice a while back, guy wouldn't listen.

All hope for the Cowboys is lost until Jerry Jones kicks the bucket.

Answer is 100% the Leafs.
Just alone of how long ago 1967 was and there were only 4 teams in the division then, but lets look at the fact they have never won a third round in their entire 106yr existence. Granted - half of that didn't have a 3rd round...but still. Cleveland Browns have the Cowboys beat by far. They haven't even won the division since the fall of the soviet union. ![]()
