I took the Houston Texans to 4 straight after the 2006 season, winning them all. This was on 5th Avenue though, not Wall Street. I have yet to win one on Wall Street. It is my impression that the difference between the 2 settings is too much. I stopped with the franchise after the 5th season, because it was too easy.

I have only won two in a row on Wall St., but I did pull a Steelers and won four of five with a gap in between two twofers..

My restart with the 1965 league, which starts with scrubs so it has a definite window of opportunity for dominance, I didn't get it done and now it's 1990 and I've only won two bowls, and none since 1976..

In FOF2001 I won at least 8 straight...

I'm on the verge of repeating right now in FOF2004

So much for this. We went 14-2 and had the best record in the league, then were knocked out by an 8-8 Oakland team that barely made the playoffs.

Amazingly, my coach STILL won coach of the year, even though we flopped in the playoffs.

I won 2 in a row and made it to 3 straight. The last won I was in I lost by 2 points. Denver kicked a field goal at the end of the game for the win. That same season I beat the 15-1 Buccaneers. I was down by 17 in the fourth, but scored 2 TD's in 45 seconds. With under a minute to go Tampa threw a int in my endzone, it was returned the length of the field for the score.

I don't think I am going to win anymore for awhile. Bart Star just retired. I have no one to replace him. There are not any good QB's in the draft. There is however Walter Payton. I have John Riggins, who has been very good for me, but Payton appears to be the stud he really was. I have 2 first round picks that I just might have to trade away to get him.

I won 9 in a row in FOF2001 and it seemed that I won no mater what I did or how good my team was, so I ended that franchise.

I should have posted the game-log from my playoff game a few years ago (2024 or so... when I won the superbowl).

I was on the road in my playoff game, and pulled an ending that was very 49ers-Giants-esque (1990). They were up by 3 points, then fumbled with under a minute remaining. We moved it just past mid-field, where my kicker nailed a 65 yarder to send it to overtime. We rolled to victory after receiving the kickoff, then won 2 more on the road and the super bowl. Amazing stuff.

That kicker was clutch... I mean, the longest field goal in NFL history to send it to OT...catapulting us to a Super Bowl title. I don't know what I was thinking when I traded him 2 years later to save money.
