I’d say Dallas only because they have the hype and money that I assumed they make it back to the Super Bowl at least once in those 30 years.

Second, I’d say is both Miami and the Raiders disappearing from their glory days in the 70s/ 80s.

I would say appearances by Detroit first, lots of talent there.

Followed by NY Jets 50 years is a long time.

Most surprising to me is the Eagles actually winning one.....I was sure I would go to my grave still waiting for one after so many near misses in the McNabb era....and 1980....and 1991

They were overdue. The NFL Gods finally smiled down on Eagles' fans, plus to have Nick Foles beat Brady is the stuff of legend.

What surprised me the most is while looking back through some of these franchises I found that the oldest NFL franchise is actually the Arizona Cardinals, est. 1920. I would've never guessed.

All of the 'never won a SB' teams are surprising given all the effort to level the playing field. As bad as the NFL is, CFB is worse.

Cardinals actually go back to 1898 before they joined the Bears as charter members of the NFL in 1920. Green Bay joined the NFL in 1921.

Yeah, Wiki confirms the 1898 start date. Interesting.

That's killer round trip train ride from Phoenix to Chicago for a game. I really would have thought it started more regionally.

and they are cheaten' SOB's!

they started in Chicago, moved to St Louis than to Phoenix off the top of my head. They are the beneficiaries of a 1925 Championship that the NFL stole from the rightful owners, the Pottsville Maroons! They have no class and should have returned it to the rightful winners.

Currently, one of my surprises is they Browns. The Haslams do know how to win championships. They've won two MLS cups in four years with Columbus plus a bunch of other shiny trophies. But they've been clowns with the Browns.

 

[laKavosiey-st lion]

or Dallas on tv every freaking week damn

To answer the original question, it might be the Bills --- they were great during the Jim "I'm not a LB" Kelly era and the Josh Allen era has had near misses

Beat me to it. It's not like Buffalo didn't have any talent. They have been on the big stage numerous times, they just can't finish the job when the hot spotlight is shining on them. How many other teams can boast they went four straight years to the Super Bowl? but since then they haven't been back, though they have been close..

 

[1995PSUGrad]

None of the above

I’m surprised there are NFL fans.
