And why do I want to say Buffalo Bills?

There are others, I'm sure, as a watcher of the NFL. Who is the most Cy-like? Which team is the least?

As a Bills fan, I 100% agree here. Awesome fans and can basically never get over the hump.

Closest parallel: Lions.
Yep. Fan base that still cares even tho they’ve never really won jack s***.

All-time great running back in the 90s that came and went like a comet.

Even have a young, charismatic coach named Campbell right now. If Lions win the Super Bowl and we finish strong this year it’s a natty for us next year for sure.

Most: I second the Chiefs, I knew families that would make the trip down to KC every home game even when they absolutely sucked. Plus the tailgating scene, although I think the Bills are a close second.
Least: Probably the Chargers?
Why are Chargers the least?

They've never won a championship. They often disappoint. They don't have any sort of national following or bandwagoners.

The organization has been through a lot of **** historically.

If you meet a fan of that team, you know they're gritty and a true fan.

I think there are a lot of similarities,

Because of them being the LA Chargers now. The San Diego Chargers wouldn't be least for me, same reason the St Louis Rams wouldn't be least for me either. Basically any new LA team I think is lesser due to poor fan support and fair weather fans.

La/SD feels like they've been pre-season hype champs for 15 years and yet always disappoint. Not sure ISU has quite reached that level, but they've had their moments.

Chiefs, Packers, or Bills.

The Chiefs and Packers are Midwestern franchises with legendary tailgate scenes, but too much success to fully correlate. Bills have less cultural/geographic overlap, but have epic tailgates, major passion, and a history of heart break.

Philly fans are the WORST by a mile. ISU is the opposite of Philly.
