How did I do?

You did an A+ job of googling the answer

I didn't google it. Did the Broncos really have the third most? I just figured Elway lost a lot of Super Bowls in the 80s.

Kinda hard to google something that nobody celebrates.

What's the correct order?

I basically just went:
Patriots
Teams I know that won and lost a lot of Super Bowls
Teams I know that won a lot of Super Bowls

And yeah of course I know the Eagles won 4 NFC championships, but there a teams that won more SB than that, so they're obviously not Top 5.

It actually gets celebrated twice every season. They hand out trophies.

"by fans"

Can you tell me the top-5 teams with the most Conference Championship trophies? I mean without looking it up? No you can't.

You probably know how many the Eagles have, and then that is it.

After that you know the exact date of the last Dallas appearance :lol:

Any time this comes up on the internet or elsewhere I already know it's about the Dallas Cowboys.


What are you surprised about? It's pretty obvious you guys are by far the most popular franchise in the NFL and it's going to come up...same thing with the Lakers.

The 49ers are viewed as losers. Just like the Cowboys. I'm really sorry to bring this reality to you.

When 9er and Cowboy fans argue about which franchise has done better? We are arguing as to who is less of a loser.

The public sees rings first, after that there is an ENORMOUS drop off to whatever is next.



I am trying my best just to bring awareness that ring count and wins shouldn't be viewed as a correlation to QB skill. But even that with ONE player is extremely difficult.

You are moving goal posts so fast that they are supersonic. You said nobody celebrates conference win but turns out just about every franchise does.

Come to terms with being wrong, you'll have a healthier psyche.

The original goal post was that no one ever brings this topic up unless it is in relation to the Cowboys.

And here you are, in a Cowboys thread, trying to prove that Conference Championships are highly coveted with your only motivation being to "get the Cowboys"

Bengals fans were happier to see their quarterback play in a super bowl as opposed to wild card round correct?

You are wrong about nobody bringing it up. It comes up in relation to every team, usually in positive sense as an achievement. It is a sensitive and negative issue only in relation to Cowboys because it is unusual to see a team not contend for so long.
