Rj0498 Posted June 4, 2018 Share Posted June 4, 2018 I think I would add the Kansas City Chiefs to this conversation after their big win at Super Bowl IV and a playoff appearance in 71, they went through a decade of irrelevance, another decade of irrelevance and an era of marty ball where they couldn't beat the Bills despite having a team filled with talent. a period where they had vermeil and a amazing offense but all the defense of wet paper. They bought into the Matt Cassel hype and paid for it now they are stuck in a position where they play like beasts in the regular season but lose to teams they should beat in the playoffs Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That Luck TD (you know the one) seems like curse-worthy material to me. Not too much “playoff genius” Andy Reid could do about that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Red Wolf Posted June 5, 2018 Share Posted June 5, 2018 The Chiefs have never even won the Lamar Hunt Trophy. That's worthy of curse consideration. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The first game I went to was with the '81 Mets at Shea Stadium they were terrible until '84 then had that run of about 4 years of really good including the '86 series which but for the other team being more cursed they should have lost. Ever since the Wilpon's took over total ownership the team's been a cluster though they've made the World Series twice since '86. Everything they seem to do turns to poo.

Alex Houston Posted June 8, 2018 Share Posted June 8, 2018 Interesting how many of these titles and choker labels finally get shed as a franchise gets close to the 40 year drought mark. Well in hockey at least. For example: LA Kings: 45 years Blackhawks: 49 years Capitals: 44 years Bruins: 39 years Red Wings: 42 years The Rangers are an outlier at 54 but I think it's a fair point to make that once a franchise gets closer to four decades without a title, the magic seems to change. So with that in mind, Leafs, Blues and Canucks (50,50 and 47 respectively), the car is running. "And then I remember to relax, and stop trying to hold on to it, and then it flows through me like rain and I can't feel anything but gratitude for every single moment of my stupid little life... You have no idea what I'm talking about, I'm sure. But don't worry... you will someday." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JH42XCC Posted June 8, 2018 Share Posted June 8, 2018 Since 1986 (the year before I was born), the New York Mets haven't won a World Series championship. Worse, they have to pay Bobby Bonilla $1.19 million every year on July 1st until 2035. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

verno Posted June 10, 2018 Share Posted June 10, 2018 How about the early to mid nineties Blues. We have Brett Hull, get Gretzky, and nothing except those hideous jerseys!!! We did get outta The Arena, though. I once went to a Blues' game in like 1987 in The Arena. Had to knock a rat off my seat. God Bless that old Checker Dome, yuck!!
