I'd love to be the Braves for example. Fourteen playoff appearances in a row with one World Series win is nice. Maybe better than two world series wins in three years and no playoffs for the next eleven?
It's nice when your team is consistently good and in the hunt.

Playoff appearances don't mean much if the team isn't built to win once you get there.
The Braves comparison isn't valid because the Braves managed to win a championship in there. We didn't. And no, 14 playoff appearances with 1 championship is not better than 2 championships in 3 years and then 10 years without. I'd trade place with the Broncos ANY DAY. 1997-1998 is still PLENTY fresh.
And finally, let's not kid ourselves. This team hasn't been "in the hunt" since Joe Montana left.
