Another point in the niners being good guys column: they consistently eliminated Aaron Rodgers from the playoffs.

The problem with the niners is that everyone on the team is cool as poo poo but the franchise itself has won too many times already so gently caress em.

Lions Bitch

Lions won 4 NFL championships before the super bowl was a thing. It's been 30 years for the 49ers, and granted it's been 70 for the Lions, but once you hit that point where most players in the NFL are younger than the last franchise victory, how much does it matter?

This is insane and you know it

49ers: 5 Superbowl wins, 7 Superbowl appearances, 18 conference championship games

Lions: 0 Superbowl wins, 0 Superbowl appearances, 1 conference championship game

49era fan "how much do these things really matter?"

Ignoring everything I actually said to completely misrepresent it is the most TFF thing you could do.

To say "it's been 30 years since we won a Superbowl and literally never for the other team but they won some things in the '50s before the league existed!" isn't as compelling as you think it is. Nobody gives a poo poo about anything before the AFL/NFL merger. Citing pre-merger championships is tantamount to making fun of said team because "lol it's basically ancient history"

Once the Lions destroy the Chiefs 55-17 in the Superbowl then yes, the circle will be complete

I mean, what am I missing here because you're using pre-merger things to play down your own teams significant accomplishments compared to your opponent in this particular matchup.

Losing two Super Bowls to the two dirtiest, cheatin-rear end franchises in the league is extremely soul-crushing in fandom and on a moral level.

I was rooting hard for you each time friend. I'm thankful that you at least vanquished the Broncos into another plane of existence that one time though.

I get that 30 years is a long time and understand the argument to a degree but it's still within the confines of the NFL proper which is the Superbowl era.

My team has been the 2nd biggest joke in the league since 2003 but I don't feel I can complain too hard because of the crazy success the team had in the '70s and early '80s. That's just my take though

Only NFL dorks or unsuccessful teams/fans grasping for something to be proud of care about pre-merger anything.

Man how Raiders would it be if Antonio Pierce turned out to be an awful hire?

It would be perfectly appropriate because Davis is a poo poo owner and always fucks everything up, that's why AP was a sensible choice. The fanbase, players and media were all aboard the AP train so if it goes wrong then he just says "I did what EVERYONE wanted but it just didn't work out" and moves on to the next bad coaching hire.
