Beerball Posted July 26, 2021 Share Posted July 26, 2021 Forget Dallas, never has been, never will be. Too many fans in both leagues loathe the cowboys (sorry CGF) for them to be in consideration. Then, take a look at GB. We have our very own Ice Bowl who visits us from time to time and is a great ambassador for Green Bay. Small town America is Green Bay. Then look at the plethora of Green Bay threads on this very board. GB is America’s team because they are the second team to many fans. I personally love seeing such a quaint place as the center of the NFL universe. How about you? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Warcodered Posted July 26, 2021 Share Posted July 26, 2021 Or maybe it's just that they have essentially the top experienced QB in the league who is refusing to play there so it's the top sports story this summer. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MJS Posted July 26, 2021 Share Posted July 26, 2021 If you go by sheer numbers, it probably IS the Cowboys. They have a large national following.

And I'm sure they bring in the most money for the NFL too. That being said, people love to root for the underdog. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But I just don't think it's possible for the Bills to ever have that many actual fans. After 20 years of dominant NFL play and tons of Superbowl appearances and wins, the Patriots have not even eclipsed the Cowboys in sheer number of fans, and they have a much larger metro area to pull from. I think to whole "America's Team" thing is a joke, anyway. There isn't a single team that doesn't have a large group of haters. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know this isn't discussing the OP's topic at hand, but as soon as they made the trade for Stafford, I immediately said they will be the team to beat in the NFC. Stafford deserves the supporting cast he's been given and I'm excited to see what he does. Bills-Rams is my SB prediction. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

May Day 10 Posted July 26, 2021 Share Posted July 26, 2021 (edited) The Cowboys are, mainly because they were the only team televised Nationally for awhile and were also really good during that time period. Many people around in their 50s, 60s and 70s right now are Cowboys fans due to that exposure. Itll really fade over the next couple decades though. Especially since they have been groping around for a long time with little success. The Packers is a good one. Besides people in maybe Chicago and Minnesota, I dont think many people really dislike the Packers. A lot of people probably pull for them over other, more 'metropolitan' teams. They have a pretty long and wholesome history, and kicked off the Superbowl era. Edited July 26, 2021 by May Day 10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Didn’t take long for a good portion of patriot fans to jump ship to Tampa or KC. Green Bay similar to buffalo has a die hard core group of fans who will live and die with the team no matter what, but they have a ton of fair weather fans cause they’re an easy pick to the playoffs every year. Don’t get me wrong every team has it but the longer you win the worse the fan base is. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

billybrew1 Posted July 26, 2021 Share Posted July 26, 2021 LOL, I turned on the tv and espn 2 went on because of the nhl draft. F***ers had a top ten list with this Lou commentating after a girl read off the names. It went like this.... #4 Stephan Diggs......then nothing!!! Lou said nothing finally the girl said something very briefly and they went on.....LOL..... i still say the Bills are popular National If a fan poll were to be taken... favorite second team in the NFL.... i dont have one personally. I wanted to make it the rams but they're crazy and that injury to their RB was huge. Just a huge loss for them. I like the whole nfc west both as a fan and I think they're very good; all four teams. I loved SF's front four but they too are messed-up. They couldn't retain their DT, lost two to injury, who knows?but they're a defense comes first team and I love that. Seattle is OK and has Warner. AZ. is really exciting this year with the old guys. I think the Bills are a full notch ahead of these four teams but the whole NFC West is playoff caliber. i used to like the packers a bit because they're not owned, but I really don't like whiny, complaining, it's not my fault, rogers.
