Did any Cheatriots fans ever watch football before 2001?

In your typical fashion you present a false argument and only tell half the story. You were arguing with Shady about the Cowboys 20 year NFL winning streak and it was simply pointed out to you that during that 20 year winning streak, the Cowboys only took home 2 SuperBowl trophys. The other 3 came outside of the winning streak. At no point was it ever claimed that the Patriots have more overall.

But they do have more SuperBowl appearances. I notice how you like to claim they "lost" more SuperBowls than the Cowboys to try to make being in the SuperBowl a negative thing if you don't win. This is back to you nonsense that losing in the NFC/AFC Championship is better than losing in the SuperBowl.

It's not a "claim". Its a fact that the Patriots have lost more Super Bowls than the Cowboys.

And losing the Super Bowl is a negative thing. If losing the Super Bowl is such a good thing, how come the losing team doesn't:

1. Pop open champagne and celebrate after they lose the Super Bowl?

2. Put on caps and T-shirts that say "We're #2!" after they lose the Super Bowl?

3. Have a parade where fans come to celebrate the Super Bowl loss?

If the Cowboys had played in the weak AFC, the Cowboys would've gone to plenty more Super Bowls. But since the Cowboys played in the NFC and the best teams were in the NFC (and thus the NFC Championship was the real Super Bowl for a decade and a half), the Cowboys ony went to 8 Super Bowls. But like I said before, LOSING THE SUPER BOWL ISN'T SOMETHING TO BRAG ABOUT.

Losing the Super Bowl doesn't even mean that you're the 2nd-best team in the NFL; it only means that (like the other 31 teams) you're NOT the best team in the NFL. For example, the 1994 Chargers lost the Super Bowl to the 49ers, 49-26. But the Chargers weren't the 2nd-best team in the NFL. The 2nd-best team in the NFL in 1994 were the Cowboys, who were going for a 3-peat and lost to the 49ers in the NFC Championship Game, which was the real Super Bowl that year.

The reason that the Cowboys weren't in the Super Bowl that year was because they were on the same side of the bracket as the 49ers. Had the Cowboys been in the AFC, the Cowboys would've been in the Super Bowl that year. So losing in the Super Bowl isn't any more impressive than losing in a Conference Championship Game because you may have gotten to the Super Bowl just because you happen to be on the easier side of the bracket.
