After seeing the Cubs swept in the playoffs, do you think they are cursed forever?

They remind me of the buffalo bills As for the bills losing 5 superbowls

Cubs go into the playoffs and just keep on losing are they cursed? yes they are they will never win a world series in another 25 years.

Go Dodgers

Of course the Cubs aren't cursed literally. But by the media and the fans they are. They are put under so much pressure it would be extraordinarily hard not to choke. I think Mark DeRosa said it best after they were swept out. I'm paraphrasing but, it was pretty much, "We all just wanted to be the team to bring the WS to this city." So its imo, fairly obviously they thought about it a lot. And they think about the 100.... sorry 101 year curse to much.

^^ Exactly. No, they aren't actually cursed, but all the talk of it and the fact that it's been 100+ years adds a lot of pressure to every Cub player, every time they step to the plate or have a ball hit in their direction.
