DawgTalkers.net Forums The Archives 2024 NFL Season Looking Back: Browns 14 Bengals 21 Join the NFC Bandwagon?

I’ve always rooted for the NFC North teams. - All so similar to Cleveland. It’s usually the Vikings or Bears, but this year, hitching on to the Lions Bandwagon. Please let me know your team in the NFC. I’d love to see the Lions finally get there.

Yeah I agree, I’m an NFC North guy too although I got tired of the Packers over the years.

I don’t have a “team” in the NFC, but I like Lions, Vikes or Bears. I don’t like any team in the East or West but I could get behind any of them over AFC teams that I hate.
Which is almost all of them.

I’m still a Baker fan so I cheer a little for the Bucs, I guess. I like the saints, too, when they’re good.

We also support the Bears here because she supports the Bears.

Tampa Bay Bucs up 7-0.

Baker to Evans. Ironic that Baker is team mates with Johnny Football's go to guy.

I guess it goes here.. MNF

Bucs up by 7.

my son lives in Tampa so I guess I support the Bucs.

Indeed SK8TR. Buccaneers vs. 49ers NFC Championship.

I never wanted Baker to go. I have been following him since he got screwed by the Browns
Pro Bowler last year with a new $100M contract and looking like another Pro Bowl this year.

When it comes to QBs and horrible decisions, the Browns is the Browns.

Well, Tonight, Modell’s Baltimore Ravens 14, and 2 Superbowls. The Tampa Bay Buccaneers 10, and 2 Superbowls.

HERE WE GO BROWNIES HERE WE GO!

Just watching the Offensive play calls of both the Ravens and the Bucs is eye opening. They are so much better than the Browns, it's not even close.

Honestly, I’m happy to see Lamar and Baker making strides. Awesome!

Sounds great! Go Bucs!

I'm closer to Detroit than Cleveland. I always go for the Lions unless they're playing the Browns.

I grew up in Lima, but had deep family ties to Toledo.
For years, it was fam Thanksgiving tradition:

1. drive 1.5 hours north to Toledo.
2. listen to an unbearably long dinner grace (from a Baptist minister).
3. spend 20-30 minutes ravenously devouring meticulously-prepared side dishes, made/frozen days in advance, along with a gorgeously-baked turkey.
4. spend 3 hours watching the Detroit Lions lose on Thanksgiving Day.

It was a family tradition.
So... I'm not really "bandwagon" when I pull for DET.

In the NFC I have always been a semi Lions fan. We lived in Detroit for a few years many years ago. I mean many, many years ago Like from age 4-6. I also root for the Bucs. My folks retired to the Tampa Bay area, Dad was a charter season ticket holder. Tickets either Dad or one of my siblings kept for maybe 25 years. I have been to probably a few dozen Bucs games over the years.

I like the Lions and how they play. They are a really balanced team and tough minded

I've always felt a kinship with Detroit and Buffalo fans. I don't think I need to explain this to any of you all.

I like how well Detroit is doing, and like someone above said, I like their game and I like how they took Goff for peanuts and got him working within their offense. He's like Tannehill 2.0 except with more talent.

I'm also rooting for Baker. His attitude never quite rubbed me the wrong way like others, but I do agree with him having to be moved on. Obviously we didn't come out of that whole series of moves, but Baker wasn't working here for a couple reasons. Still, I appreciated what he did give us and glad he's doing well in an offense better suited to his skillset.

I don't have what I would call an allegiance to any NFC team but there are a couple of them I root for.

The main one is Detroit. When I lived in Ohio my long time fishing and hunting buddy for well over 20 years and best friend is from Michigan. He has always been a huge Lions fan. He moved from Ohio to Alpena, Michigan many years ago. He just lives hunting and fishing. Then several years later I moved to the Nashville area. He always stuck by his Lions through thick and thin and it was mostly thin. I could relate to that all to well.

He's so excited now that they're a good team. After all of those years or awfulness he's still a little jaded and skeptical so I try to insure him and tell him since he went through all the bad times he should enjoy the good times. He seems to be getting it.

The other NFC team is Tampa Bay. And that's mainly because I keep up with how Baker is doing more than the actual team itself.

But then again beyond being a Browns fan I've always been a fan of the game and watch the NFL often besides just Browns games.
