What fans have had it the worst?

There are two schools of thought here....go with the team that has never tasted much success at all (like the Cubs in baseball), or go with the team that has teased its fans into submission, constantly leading them to the brink before gagging in the big games.

Here are teams I think qualify....

Vikings

Eagles

Saints

Lions

Bills

Browns

Bengals

Colts

Chargers

I'd say Colts hands down if they didn't have a trophy recently. I'm gonna have to go with the Bills, simply because that one four-year period was the most cruelty and fan base has ever had to go through.

Got to go with the Browns. When's the last time they mattered? Plus they've had to cope with the pain of watching their beloved franchise up and leave, and then win a Super Bowl less than a decade into their new digs. And all the time the fans have been unflaggably loyal, and routinely fill a stadium that dips below 10 degrees in the winter. They've had the hardest time of it. Props to any Browns fan.

Good point. Plus they had a lot of close calls in the 80s. They had the Broncos pinned on their two with like two or three minutes to go in the AFC championship and a seven point lead. Blew it. Were on the Denver two in the final minute to take the lead the next year. Fumbled it. The year the Raiders won it all in 81, it took a gift from Cleveland to advance.

And then on top of that, when you're not watching football you've got the Indians and the Cavaliers. Before Lebron that city was probably the worst sports city in the US. If he leaves, good god....

And I'm sorry about the Cubs, but the Bears do have a ring from '85, and the Bulls were godlike with Jordan, and the Blackhawks will probably win a cup within the next year or two so gtfo. :lol:

101 years, likely 102.

Let that sink in.

102

Nuff said.

Yeah, but Bartman was the only stomach punch you guys have had, and that was just to get to the World Series. The Red Sox had heartbreaking losses to the Reds in 75, the Yankees in 78, the Mets in 86, the Yankees again in 03...sucking doesn't feel like a curse. Getting close and having it yanked away does.

The Falcons? Maybe you just hate us too much to put us even on this list.

The Falcons and Saints came in the League pretty much at the same time. No one would even try to claim that the Falcons have been worse than the Saints. Atlanta made it to a Super Bowl. Atlanta has had pockets of non-suckitude since the mid 70s. And Atlanta just had back to back winning seasons, something New Orleans and Carolina have never had, I don't think.

Oh yeah def the Saints have had it worse. NO had 3 winning seasons back to back in the early 90s with the Dome Patrol.

      The Panthers win streak is masking substandard quarterback play

      By Diehardpanth02 · Posted

      He’s been every bit as much of the problem as anyone else. You cant remove him from that fact, he is just as much part of the team and in THE most important position on the field. But this is the first season he’s seen any kind of continuity in his team and coaches. And he’s shown flashes here and there. But we do need more out of him going forward a lot more if we are going to be successful

      Bryce isn’t great and super mid. But I think can be a game manager. What do we think is out there? Daniel Jones isn’t going anywher. Mac Jones? Zach Wilson? Pickett. I’m just not sure what’s out there that is much better without having to give up a ton of capital. Rather take one more step closer to contention with our early rounders next year with FS and LB help. Make this  place where dang they got a defense and a WR1 and solid RB room. I can win with that and want to be here

      Vet QB Options - Trade/Cut/FA Edition

      AR15 is if Justin Fields was fragile and his teammates hated him. No thanks. Ya'll think you hate watching Bryce Young? Wait until your QB can't even complete a 7 yard pass over the middle, which Fields and Richardson can't do. If the draft class was better, I could absolutely see the Titans moving on from Ward already if they got the #1 pick. But so far the college QB's haven't impressed enough. They'll have flashes, but then follow it up with a very meh game. Kyler is already done in Arizona, but he has a ridiculous contract and he's basically Bryce that likes to scramble, so no thanks. If Lawrence can't produce with that team in Jacksonville, what do you think he'll do here? He's tall Bryce who can throw deep but can't make the 4th down throws and crumbles in the red zone. No thanks. I do think Canales wants to move on from Bryce, his body language says so even in wins. He treated Bryce pretty odd this week and Bryce looked checked out in the Packers game. But unless they make another risky trade, its going to be slim pickings. Basically our hopes lie in hitting early in the draft with a Mateer, Nussmeier, Beck type or finding a random backup free agent that has another gear to hit.  I think even with the draft being wishy washy, 4-5 QB's will be taken in the top 7. A lot of teams are just that desperate.
