I have been thinking how well it has been going for us so far. What about the other end of the spectrum. What team is the worst to be a fan for?

My vote: 49ers.

Atleast the Dolphins get the number 1 pick. Look, the 49ers are screwed. They have no defense. Clements has been a dissappointment, Alex Smith sucks. Frank Gore is hurt, and they have no receivers. Christ, they passed up Randy "bleeping" Moss for Darrell Jackson, who he even knows he sucks.
The team has so many holes to fill and it isn't going to get any brighter...because....

The Pats got their 1st rounder bwhahaha.

Washington Redskins.

There isn't a more loyal fanbase. Every year they are led to believe that they will be turning the corner.

No owner can rape a fanbase as thoroughly as Daniel Snyder. He hasn't left one dime on the table, either.

Actually, they have a very good defense. The 49er's also had their glory years. Things are down for them right now, I'm not one to kick someone, unless its the Jets.

Right now, I am a definite Fins fan. If those mugs can get it together and win a couple, that 9ers pick gets better and better.

I'm rooting for the opposite. I think it would be poetic justice if they went 0-16 in the same year the Pats top their 72 team. 19-0 equals more wins, tougher sked, bigger point differential, clearly would make 07 Pats the top team ever.

Pretty good argument and for that, I agree.

I don't think there's any NFL franchise it's bad to be a fan for. You can usually get it in pretty quickly through draft and free-agency. And the Pats/Colts notwithstanding, parity is pretty good.

That said, for varying reasons, I wouldn't want to be a fan for (in this order):

1. Atlanta Falcons There's way too much stuff going on there this year, none of it good. They're not the worst team in the league, but everything they do makes me scratch my head. And I think the problems I'm seeing extend past this season.

2. Miami Dolphins Same as above, in many respects. The problems they're having will extend beyond this year.

3. 49ers They've been medicore and bad for a long time now. That must be hard to deal with since they have such a great legacy with Montana, Rice, and the gang.

Buffalo. The possibility of them slowly moving operations to Toronto would be incredibly discouraging.

Yeah, the poor Skins fans keep getting the 'tease' from the local media. It's like the Pats under the Sullivans - No offense to them - where every year is a disapointment. When will the 'rebuilding' years be over? I empethise with them.

The fallacy in your thinking is that you neglect the perpetuating effect of bad owners and bad organizations. It's huge. These disfunctional orgs do not get better through draft and FA. Snyder in Washington, Old Man Wilson in Buffalo (game has passed him by), and Wayne's World Huzinger in Miami bring in management team after team, draft high picks, spend big bucks on FAs and still stink. There are many more. We in NE suffered through the Sullivans who managed to screw up the Fairbanks era and made bad choices with league number one draft picks. It's all about owners smart or lucky enough to build strong effective football orgs.
