Not gonna lie, the Bears losing to a Kyle Orton led Bills would be pretty sweet. But seeing as they're probably going to start EJ Manuel, there's no way they're going to win.

He can't have told them that much. Bears football these days is basically run Forte up the middle for 1 yard, bombs to Marshall and Jneffery, then don't stop anyone on third down defensively.

Don't pick a team yet.

Take a year, figure out what you like with regards to football. You'll find out if you like a quick, hitting defense or one that tries for interceptions. You'll figure out if you like an offense that relies mostly on using the run or all throwing all the time. You'll also figure out which fanbase's "culture" you like the best. Do you love a "rah-rah we're the workingman" thing the Packers do or the "we don't care if you're a rapist or a sociopath as long as you get us RINGZ" thing the Steelers do or do you want the "live in hope, die in despair" that defines the Lions/Raiders/Browns.


I say go into this year open, check out the first downies thread and always remember:

gently caress the steelers.

Do you like watching a sure thing turn into a pit of despair? Do you enjoy the idea of every down becoming an adventure that could lead to catastrophe? Are you enthused by the idea of coming to dread every Sunday, or having your season mercifully cut short after 16 games? Do you want the highest highs, the lowest lows, and rooting for the only team that can honestly say they went an entire 16-game season without enjoying even the most meaningless of victories?

Some good advice for French Guy so far. Here are my two cents.

Not the Steelers.
Not the Patriots.
Not the Packers.

You're going to want to root for one of the good teams, this is a natural inclination. Even so I would stay away from the Broncos because Manning is going to retire soon and gently caress John Elway, he's the team's GM.

Watch for a while, figure out who you like, and once you pick a team stay with them through the hard times. The good times are way more rewarding that way(exceptions being the Browns, Bills, and Lions).

I'm a Ravens fan but I would suggest taking a look at the Minnesota Vikings. They have a Rookie QB that they are bringing along slowly and a new head coach so you'd have the potential to get in on the ground floor of something cool. Also, they have Adrian Peterson, the best RB in the league, who is just so god damned fun to watch.

THEY SHOULD'VE GIVEN IT TO LYNCH

Death to the Seahawks. Death to Seahawks posters.
root Hawks because we've just undergone a gigantic heel turn and it's loving rad. embrace the hate

for some reason everyone seems to hate the bears (not in TFF but generally speaking) so rooting for them is cool too because ƒorte and cutler are awesome

panthers have cam which is plenty good of a reason on its own to root for them

everyone should be rooting for the browns at all times even over their home team because it's the loving browns, give them a break, plus now they have manziel who is the avatar of all that is Football at its most chaotic

gently caress the steelers, patriots, broncos, and cowboys, im out, peace *drops mic*

-Raiders play in an almost literal shithole.
-For the past decade Raiders consistently sucked dick both in the field and draft.
-Raiders have the little Carr.
-Raiders have the very best uniform and we will stab anyone who dares to say otherwise.
