At home with the ‘Vids and thinking about the NFL overall…
I’m a Raiders fan. Yup. Another lost season (though not mathematically elimated yet). Probably like many long time fantasy football players, I root for favorite players as much as I root for my homer team.
Here are the players/teams who are on my list this seasons:
1) Miami Dolphins, because of Mike McDaniel. I fell in love with him after his hilarious comments about what he said to Justin Fields on the sidelines (he asked him to please stop scrambling so much, since everything else they tried wasn’t slowing him down). https://youtu.be/RjsYUDoIzw8
1000% loveable football nerd. I don’t know how this dude became a head coach but I’m rooting for him.
2) Buffalo Bills because of Josh Allen. Likely a popular pick of most on this board. How can you not love Josh Allen? He’s the best of what this game is about. Also, I have a soft spot for historically bad teams (Bills, Vikes, Lions) so seeing how great the Bills are this year makes me happy. Can they finally get the four-peat Super Bowl losers monkey off their back? Would love a Bills/Dolphins AFC Championship game.
3) on the NFC side, the Vikings due to my lonesome losers point above. Another perennial Super Bowl losing team. I don’t like or dislike Cousins, but like Peyton Manning back in the day carrying the “can’t win the big game” stigma, maybe Cousins can do the same this year.
4) Seahawks, both because they were left for dead this off-season and are surprising everyone with how good they’ve been, and also to piss off local 9ers fans as a fringe benefit (Schadenfreude is sometimes all that you have when your own team is so bad for so long). Seahawks are fading as of late but hopefully they can keep pushing for the NFC West title.
what do you have?
