An Atlanta Falcon Opponent Discussion

Chicago Bears. You’d think a place with such a reputation for toughness would have tougher fans.

Alas, after a combination of bad coaching, weak defense, and a cool-as-a-cucumber QB stripped “their” win away with six seconds left, my illusions were destroyed. I’ve seen less crying in maternity wards. Bears fans said two things: some suggested that there was a conspiracy with the clock, others felt that ATL didn’t win the game, merely that CHI lost it. I feel like those are both insulting and disrespectful, and would make Mike Ditka choke on his own spittle while swearing at any player who told him the same thing.

Allow me to extend a hearty middle finger to the Chicago Bears fans. See you next Fall, I’ll be the drunk guy taking a dump in your cereal. God I hope Ryan eats that secondary alive.

So yeah, don’t like the Bears.

I 100 percent agree with you on the Patriots. I hate them. The combination of Tom Brady and the fact that they just keep on winning pisses me off a great deal. But what tips me off the most is the fans. Now here in Australia there is a plethora of Pats fans who go for them just because of their success, not knowing anything but that they have a good QB and a team that constantly makes the playoffs.

It’s their success with our failures that pisses me off the most.

(comma) the Bengals, the Chargers, the Patriots, the Giants, and the Bears.

Teams I mildly follow:
Titans, Texans, Jets

Teams I Love:
You know the answer to that one.

I hate: Bucs, Patriots.

I check the score of and wish well: Texans, Jaguars

I love: Falcons

AND I always will….

I HATE the Cowboys (this probably originated shortly after joining the Army about 3 years ago). The drama. The fans. Jerry Jones who only hired Wade Phillips so he could micro-manage the team. Wade Phillips for being such a pansy ass coach.

Not to mention, half the Army are freaking Cowboy fans. That whole, “everything is bigger in Texas” mentality. How the fanbase expects their team to win to the extent that they don’t cheer when the team scores, but groans and cries when the team fails.

I often find myself remembering the slaughterfest that was week 17 last season – 44 to 6. The Eagles bumped themselves up a position in my book that game.

I can’t wait for week 7.

Cowboys :I hate them with a passion for all the reasons MIA gives. Didn’t Jerry Jones help orchestrate Petrino’s midnight exit to Pigsooheyville?
Broncos : Never liked Elway. Thats one smug SOB. Throw in the 98 SB and they tie with the Cowboys

in my experience Broncos fans are idiots.

Who riots after they WIN

Cowboys (for ruining our 1 legit SB championship shot)
49ers (becuase they used to whip our azz regularly in the NFC west)
Spittsburgh (because they have the most vile fans I have ever come across)

49ers – always have and probably always will
Redskins – Daniel Snyder
plus Dallas, New England, Pittsburgh – so many bandwagoners… you’re just asking to be hated if you’re calling yourself “America’s Team”. It’s hard to hate Pittsburgh because of how great an organization they run, though…

Teams I’m sorta following:
Detroit – haven’t they suffered enough?
Denver – one of my good buddies is a Broncos fan. Plus, it’s like watching a car crash with McDaniels there…
the entire AFC South (been very competitive lately):
Tennessee – I think Fisher is a great coach
Indy – loved Dungy, love watching Peyton and that passing attack
Jax – tough, gritty team
Houston – lots of young exciting stars

and not because of what the team does but because of sportcenter. tom brady farts and there’s a 20 minute report from sportcenter, the red soxs get a hit and they make a commercial about it. anything philly for reason already posted(the fans). not to get off topic but i really hate manny now because of sportscenter.

My hatred of the Cowboys turns on and off. I’m wonderfully shielded from any annoying fans up in this neck of the woods and they actually have some players I like, so right now is a downswing.

you call yourself a boy and americas team can you trly put those to things together in the same franchise i dislikethere ways with a passion

…the 49ers and Broncos.

Too many Monday Night debacles and regular season games in which Montana, Young and Rice ran up the score on our hapless late 80’s-90’s defenses, plus the fawning of the TV talking heads. A plague on ’em, and it does my heart good to see that misbegotten franchise struggling now.

The Broncos were OK till they got that smug bastard Elway, and the even smugger and repellent Shanahan eventually. Plus, yeah, they beat our asses in the Super Bowl. Fuggem. I hope they go -1 and 16 this year.

Can’t work up too much hatred for anyone else- used to despise the Rams, both LA and St. Louis versions- but the statute of limitations of hatred has expired on those guys because we’ve had their number for some time now. I pity Minnesota because they’re cursed, but try as I might I can’t hate ‘em. Never cared for the Dolphins; I know too damn many people who root for that team because of how good they were in the 70’s and 80’s, even though they have no other compelling reason to do so. Lotta fair-weather Titans fans around here where I live (KY), too. Screw those guys, too, although I’ve developed some grudging respect for them, especially Fischer. I couldn’t stand their pokey, boring offenses with McNair (RIP) and Eddie George.

Teams a lot of people hate, I kinda like, depending on how many of their players I have in Fantasy- Cowboys, Raiders (Jeff Hostetler got me through several seasons while he was a Raider).

I could run down each team, but I’ll have mercy and stop now…
