Texans one of four teams to never play in SB in 50 years.

[Nconroe]

I heard talk on NFL network there are thirteen teams that have never won the SB in fifty years since AFC and NFC combined to NFL.

The four teams that haven't even been to a Superbowl yet are Houston Texans, Jacksonville Jaguars, Detroit Lions, and Cleveland Browns.

There are two teams that have been to SB four times, but never won, Minnesota and Buffalo.

The seven other teams to make thirteen which haven't won SB are Titans, San Diego, Philadelphia, Carolina, Cincinnati, Atlanta, and Arizona.

Quite a list.

It's not so much that the other three teams haven't been to a Super Bowl, it's that they are widely considered to be three of the absolute worst organizations in North American major professional sports.

I wonder if McNair's thoughts ever drift off in this direction as Rick is giving him a relaxing neckrub.

The Texans only came into being in 2002, the Browns started in 1999, screw the fact that they got to steal the Ravens history, the Jags started in 1995. They are nowhere near fifty years old. Only the Lions have a fifty year + history.

I consider the more recent teams to have an asterisk next to their names. The Lions were bought by the Ford family in 1963, and they have won only 1 playoff games since then. That is a failure IMO.

I don't put the Texans in the same breath as the lowly Lions, the only team in league history to go a season with 16 loses.

Houston Texans: Better Than the Lions!

Put that awn a hat you gon MAKE you sum munnee!

It seems finding a top QB has been difficult for many teams.

The Lions have had a decent enough quarterback for a while now. Their ownership is clueless and when you have a mope like Matt Millen spend the better part of a decade running your organization into the ground with breathtaking stupidity, well, we all see the results. Such as one of the greatest players at his position in history deciding to call it quits in the middle of his career.

Of course that's happened twice to the Lions just in the past 15 years or so. Truly great players would literally rather not play at all than play for the Lions.

Plus they have had a cardboard cutout of Jim Caldwell on the sideline as HC the last 2 years. That guy makes Kubiak look fiery and passionate.

If you want to be fair, the Jets and the Chiefs have not been to a Super Bowl since the NFL-AFL merger, a fact their fans never tire of hearing about. ;)

Plus, the only time the Oiler franchise reached the Super Bowl was as the Titans after they moved away so Houston, the sports city is oh-for-44 in reaching the Super Bowl.

Hey, Buddy Ryan just died. Imagine who he's probably punching right now.

What gets lost in people's joking about that incident is that Buddy was of course 100% right.

[Nconroe]

RIP Buddy Ryan. Certainly one of the memorable football characters and defensive innovator.

Texans came into existence in 2002, right ? So 14 and not 50 years is the time interval that's relevant for the Texans being compared to other teams
on this stat.
