1. Buffalo Bills
They only play well when it doesn't matter.

61. My team, also. I don't think I'll invest in NFL Primeticket next year.
It is no fun watching the Bills lose every freakin' week.

13. Depressed...I'm a Viking Fan,
but I live in GA...Falcons...can't stand them. Glad they sucked almost as much as the Vikings.

19. How can you instill discipline in your players for
breaking the rules, when you break them yourself? He needs to go work for Denny Green in Arizona. Hey, let's figure out who should be the next Viking head coach. I want to keep Cottrell around as Defensive Coordinator...he's done a great job. But, for head coach....

Jimmy Johnson?
Lou Holtz?
Bill Parcells?

24. I know that with Parcells it is his way or the highway
But I think he will probably stay with the Cowboys.

I am not really too knowlegeable on coaching but I do agree that Tice has to go. They need somebody who can run a tight ship.

6. (raises both hands at once) Oooh! Oh oooooooooooh!
our "regional" teams out here are most often those from the Bay Area, where gridiron suckitude is broadcast in hi-fi stereo. And now the Niners have basically taken themselves out of the Bush/Leinart sweepstakes with a token win. Ye gods.

Oh yes, Mr. Avatar will tell you who else I've been pulling for this season, or was back when they had a season, anyway. I went so far as to make an authentic 'Aints paper bag to go over my head! It's gotten so bad I'm now wishing I'd used plastic instead...

Just a bump in the road, the Birds will be back next year. The NFC still sucks overall.

Well, actually I live in Milwaukee, but I am a Bears Fan, and we just clinched the division and got a first round bye.

But our regional team, the Packer, well, they suck this year...

But a win over the Lions on Sunday is a guaranteed playoff clinch.

As for my true regional team, yes, the Browns suck.

Edited on Tue Dec-27-05 10:54 PM by ChoralScholar
KC Chiefs are 9-6, and play the Bengals on New Years Day.

Many also root for the Cowboys, who are also 9-6, and play the Rams on New Years Day.

28. What regional team?
I grew up a Viking fan cuz my Dad was from Minneapolis. I lived in Seattle for a while and rooted for the Seahawks. Married a LA Raider fan, then they moved back to Oakland. Now we live in FL, hubby hates the fish. I hate to admit, I haven't watched an NFL game since we moved to FL in 99.

It could be a lot worse than 10 - 5. There were a few games where luck was the biggest factor.

Edited on Wed Dec-28-05 09:20 AM by WritingIsMyReligion
They sucked at the beginning but are doing well now....

But they're the NE Pats, so I guess, with all these Super Bowl wins of late, I can't really complain. :P Anyway, the whole DIVSION sucks ass, so the fact that they're division leader doesn't mean jack shit.

After watching the other big Atlanta team do their usual choking, the Falcons, led by Ron Mexico himself, started out just fine then showed their true sucky colors.

I don't even want to talk about the Hawks.


On edit: I'm actually quite happy the Falcons lose. Anything that can wipe the smirk off Arthur Blank's little Republican asshole face is just fine by me :evilgrin:
