BetterCallSaul Posted June 29, 2023 Share Posted June 29, 2023 Could be anything relating to stadiumfood, fans, history, team success in specific areas…anything that you feel you have a special claim to. For the Browns, I’d say die-hard optimistic fans. We could lose every game for the next 10 years & people would still be talking Browns.

I’ve mentioned a few times that the Browns seem to win the offseason semi-annually. I think Bengals fans are the opposite. We’re mostly cautiously optimistic because we were so used to being let down. It’s nice that we’ve got a bit more unapologetically brash these days after winning some. I can not express the feeling of immense relief winning that first playoff game against the Raiders in 2021. Felt like a 5000 lbs gorilla being lifted off my shoulders. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

vikingsrule Posted June 29, 2023 Share Posted June 29, 2023 Scandinavian culture is such a significant part of Minnesota given the concentration here. I’m Norwegian and Swedish myself. Tying that history and culture back to the Vikings is pretty cool. Also, we have a unique history of always choking. Zero Super Bowl wins despite being one of the winningest franchises.

redsoxsuck05 Posted June 29, 2023 Share Posted June 29, 2023 What makes the Giants unique is that they're a very historic, successful franchise on the surface level (4 Super Bowls) yet they haven't had a consistently dominant run since the late 50s/early 60s. There's been a lot of ups and downs, even in the LT years. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Calamity_Cometh Posted June 29, 2023 Share Posted June 29, 2023 The whole Rocky Mountain thing. I have only ever just passed through Colorado, and never Denver, but the air is literally different there. And it effects the vibe. If I didn't live in Minnesota, I'd probably choose somewhere in the mountains. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sugashane Posted June 29, 2023 Share Posted June 29, 2023 Bear are unique because they have never had a 4000 yard passer or a QB throw for 30 TDs in a single season. 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AngusMcFife Posted June 29, 2023 Share Posted June 29, 2023 Ravens: The entire franchise has been shaped by the vision of one man, Ozzie Newsome. Consistently good to great defense for the past 24 years (only down years due to extensive injuries) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ET80 Posted June 29, 2023 Share Posted June 29, 2023 Texans: It’s the youngest franchise in the NFL. Pretty much the entire history of the franchise can be followed by memory, you can remind yourself where you were for every landmark moment. I guess that’s something? If you’re a fan ages 21-up, you can pretty much say you’ve been around since day one. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think that's unique to the Browns; you could say similar things about the Eagles and Cowboys, if I've taken the temperature of those fanbases correctly. For the Colts, not many franchises can say they went from one era of an elite superstar franchise QB directly (or almost directly) into another - there's the Niners with Montana and Young, the Packers with Favre and Rodgers... the Colts, however, are the only one from that group to have mustered only a single SB win from those golden eras - and it's entirely because Luck retired at the age of 29. Also the only franchise to have fled its previous city in the dead of night. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ray Reed Posted June 29, 2023 Share Posted June 29, 2023 Ravens are probably the quickest success story in the NFL. Won the SB in their 4th season (1st playoff appearance) in 2000 and have the most playoff wins in the NFL (16) behind the Patriots since that 2000 season with another championship to boot. Pretty much became a franchise that’s on the short list of “model franchises” in the league almost immediately Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree that they’re a blue chip franchise of the NFL l, but they weren’t built from scratch. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ronjon1990 Posted June 29, 2023 Share Posted June 29, 2023 We were dumb enough to hire not only Lane Kiffin as HC, but a little over 10 years later gave Dumbass McDaniels a 3rd chance. Gotta be the dumbest of the franchises. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
