If I had been rating NFL fan bases, they’d look slightly one thing like this:

• Falcons followers (long-suffering and dependable by means of some actually depressing experiences)
• Each fan base aside from Patriots and Saints followers
• Patriots followers (We get it, y’all received loads of Tremendous Bowls and Tom Brady was nice, let it go)
• Saints followers (28-3 had nothing to do with y’all, get a brand new insult)

However I is perhaps barely biased, so let’s check out these fan rankings from USA Immediately’s Mike Freeman and see what he thinks.

(Earlier than you head over to Twitter to yell at Mike about this, please notice that the headline on this story was: Put together to be outraged: These NFL fan rankings are a shame. Even we admit it.)

The Falcons get a shoutout even earlier than Freeman will get to his precise rankings:

And also you, Falcons followers, attending to that sport 90 minutes late.

Sigh.

Freeman established 9 tiers of NFL fandom. Right here’s how his rankings shook out:

Tier 1

Cleveland Browns
Pittsburgh Steelers
Inexperienced Bay Packers

Tier 2

Seattle Seahawks
Philadelphia Eagles
Detroit Lions
Baltimore Ravens

Tier 3

New Orleans Saints
Las Vegas Raiders
San Francisco 49ers

Tier 4

Buffalo Payments
Denver Broncos

Tier 5

Washington Commanders
Cincinnati Bengals
Los Angeles Rams

Tier 6

Tampa Bay Buccaneers
Carolina Panthers
Indianapolis Colts

Tier 7

Jacksonville Jaguars
Tennessee Titans
Chicago Bears
Miami Dolphins

Tier 8

New England Patriots
Atlanta Falcons
Los Angeles Chargers
Minnesota Vikings

Tier 9

Right here’s what Mike needed to say in regards to the Falcons:

Type of passionate, generally, slightly bit.

Type of passionate? Buddy, it takes greater than “type of, generally, slightly bit” of ardour to stay with this staff by means of the entire silliness this staff topics us to frequently. You strive watching your favourite staff lose its star quarterback to a federal dogfighting conviction, or a revolving door of Chris Redman, Joey Harrington, and Byron Leftwich at quarterback, or scoring only one single security in a playoff sport vs. the Giants, or alienating its franchise quarterback to attempt to commerce for a man dealing with greater than two-dozen sexual harassment and assault allegations, and don’t even get me began on that Tremendous Bowl.
