Sure I want a Super Bowl more than anything else, but only 1 team can win every year. I'd rather have playoff wins and be able to have good memories for the rest of my life than having to think about all the shitty years we had.

"Ooh, we won one more game this season than someone else". That's not something to hang your hat on. Winning 14 games in a year, at least that gets you a fun ride till the end. But for too many Charger fans, winning 1 playoff game a year means more than winning 14 games and going on a fun ride that ended too soon.
People put a completely illogical amount of worth on winning a playoff game.
I got nothing against you, Buckin. I completely understand someone like you holding onto what you do have, simply because of something like age. It's the larger audience that has this absurd fascination with winning a playoff game in football (Charger fans are just easy targets due to so many being borderline obnoxious). I never hear anyone in another sport bragging about getting out of the first round. There is a slightly better chance of making the postseason in a league like the NBA, but the worth of a playoff win between the two leagues is still well out of proportion to the value fans place on it.
