It's just like the Emmy's and Grammy's. No one want's to be the guy that says "It was just an honor to be nominated." You would rather be the one making the speech.
I think that AL Davis said it best when the Raiders lost the Super Bowl one year when one of his players said "Well, at least we learned something". Al Davis replied "We didn't come here to learn nothing, we came here to win!".
In other words I could give a rats ass if we make it to the Super Bowl and lose next season; we might as well have missed the playoffs alltogether. It's like getting to the goal line and having to kick a field goal. Hell, you could have done the same thing from 35 yards away.

Of course you want to be the Steelers, who doesnt want to win it all. The Skins are nowhere close to the Steelers but they are close to the Cards. I'd have loved to have had a party every week for the Skins playoff games and then a huge burgandy & gold Super Bowl bash would have been fantastic. Sure there would have been some disappointment in the end but it sure would have been a fun few weeks. Considering the Skins have been non-entities in the playoffs for quite some time I'll take what the Cards did last year instead of what the Skins did last year.
