NFL New to NFL - Looking for a Team to Follow

[Blacky]

We don't want no bandwagoners thank you.

Lol

What's the NFL's universal "2nd Favourite Team"?

A lot of people seem to have a soft spot for the Cleveland Browns. Maybe because they have been crap for so long as well as the whole Baltimore thing.

If you eventually want to see your team play live, pick a city that you'd want to actually visit. Cleveland is the worst. Pretty much all of Ohio is the worst.

Oi, I've been to Ohio 5 times to see my Bengals. Great little city. Have also been to Cleveland and liked it.

 

[raskolnikov]

Dallas would say it's them

Dallas would be wrong.

I don't mind the browns, I was always a big fan of eric metcalf, one week on Don Lane Presents we got a browns and jets game and he returned a kick-off about 95 yards for a TD, I remember using that footage as part of a video we made in year 10 drama/film class.

A reason a few have a soft spot for them is traditionally they have fallen under the "are no threat to your team" sub-section of the "Rules for choosing your second team"

 

[raskolnikov]

I've had a soft spot for them since the Bernie Kosar days. My favourite quarterback of all time.

Gotta feel for Bernie, sounds so beat up these days.

Nah, we wouldn't. Would any team in the NFCE honestly think other supporters have a soft spot for them?

Must be the Kentucky influence.
afterall, the stadium is only 140m from the border.

Looking for a new team ??

Rams or Texans ...

NFL ARRESTS SINCE 2000

That's as good a method as any

 

[Starburns_]

To be fair, don't all those Vikings arrests stem from the one incident?

 

[joop]

I'm also looking for a team to follow, I was into the NFL a few years ago when I was in the states. Chose Chicago because I went for the bulls, watched a Blackhawks game. Actually I'll just stick with the Bears, I did have a beer with Cutler after all.

Did he cry into your beer?

 

[joop]

Did he cry into your beer?

Haha nope. Everyone at the bar lost their shit when he walked in, I had no idea who he was and this chick told me he was a big deal so I was like well **** it I dint care so I just went up and said g'day. Probably the biggest dude I've ever seen. Although I was pretty drunk

Anything of interest you can relate back to us Cutler may have said to you?
NFL players are big, but it's even more disconcerting when you have a whole bunch or a whole team of them around you. Really exasperates how short one is.

Ha! The story actually came back to me as I was writing that's why I shared it. It was 4 years ago. But yeh cheers dickhead, won't be back here!

Didn't you read the last line?

I'm proud mane

 

[volkerball]

Really?
It's New England!
If you're not a Patriot, you're a terrorist in America.

In all seriousness, I think that was what people thought in about the 01-02, MAYBE 03 period. By 04 people were just sick of New England and since then there hasn't really been a '2nd favourite' side

I can assure you, if terrorists attacked Gillette Stadium, there would be record sales of the Quran the next day in the US.

I would say the Jags and Browns are two teams that everyone would root for if they made the playoffs just because they've been so shit for so long.

 

[Chadwiko]

Agreed re: the Browns.

Especially with Hoyer. If the Browns succeeded with Hoyer, neutral fans would coalesce and root for them.

JFF maybe not so much, considering how polarising he can be.

 

[Shupe]

I'm a Colts fan, but don't mind seeing the Broncos do well because of the whole Peyton thing. I pick my official second team from the NFC, and that would have to be Carolina.

Now that you've quoted me and there's a grey background, can you see the white writing?

Eric Metcalf was AMAZING… recall him carving the Steelers up TWICE for two ST Big Plays (back to the HOUSE) … infact here's the clip..

 

[Woodson]

Another team that doesn't get ENOUGH LOVE around here are the Kansas City Chiefs!!

I recall back in the day when I started following the NFL in the mid 80's… this BEAST from nowhere appeared..

 

[dart]

I am a big fan of KC, they get "2nd tier" support from me.

Christian Okoye, Derrick Thomas, they had some impact players in that period.
