Lions are Bills of the NFC!  Years of being a laughingstock. Small city mocked by other fans, etc

I'm a metro Detroit native. I can't have more than one team but I will certainly support them. Wayne county isn't exactly small, but yes, the fan base being loyal, tortured, blue collar, Ralph, the apparent snow treaty, older franchises, no Super Bowls.  I would say we share a lot in common. If it isn't us, I would want it to be them.

I mean I certainly like the Lions more, but I don't really have that level of hatred for the Raiders.


agreed. Nothing really objectionable about the raiders anymore. McDaniels is so incompetent that he has really taken away any of my usual anti-patriot angst.

I like the rust belt teams. Detroit, Cleveland, Pittsburgh. All cut from the same cloth as Buffalo.

100% and between Detroit, Cleveland, and Buffalo how many Super Bowls? Something with Lake Erie?

I feel the same about rust belt teams with the exception of Pittsburgh. They’ve had too much success, and attracted a nationwide fanbase that can obnoxious. My grandparents were Steelers fans, so I have slight soft spot for them, but I can’t really “like” them.

I have a lot of close friends who are steeler fans and so they have grown on me. But I hear ya.

Haha. Perhaps the vast pollution?!
 

As an aside, I actually love going to Erie, PA. It’s like this perfectly weird hodgepodge of football Fans. Almost equal number of Bills, Browns, and Steelers fans.

I want the Raiders to win.  Need them still motivated and in the hunt when they play the Chiefs. 
 

Win or lose they'll be motivated... that once was a great division rivalry.

I disagree. If they keep losing, they will be in full tank mode and shut down guys for the season.

That's a good point, hadn't thought about it that way. 

 

Still, I hope they get crushed tonight.

I have a good friend from HS that has always been a Raiders fan.  When they hired McDaniels I made a point to tell him I thought it would be a disaster with that POS human.  My friend initially had hope - now he txts me almost every day how much he hates McDaniels and can't wait for him to be fired.  I smile when I think of the possibility of that arrogant cheating POS possibly replacing the fat mumbling miserable cheating POS as HC of that POS Cheater franchise someday - will just add to the tank of hate fuel I have for them

Terrible uniform, and the Lion on the helmet has his mouth open, but has no teeth. 


Well to be fair, the Lions fielded a team for many years that had no teeth to them…

Crosby impresses every time I watch these Raiders, not much else does on that team. 


I quite like Hobbs. Myers isn’t having a bad year for them either. Overall though they field a pretty disappointing team.
