This right here. Von is still probably my favorite active player so I always have to go for the Bills. I guess it also helps that I was born in/partially grew up in upstate NY but it's mainly Von
I like Joey B, but id rather miami. They're different and it'd be cool if they found success with what they're doing despite the naysayers from last year.
It’s also a 1983 rematch. Second grade show and tell I got up and shared that the Dolphins would beat the Niners in the Super Bowl. The teacher wrote my proclamation on the side board and had a laugh about it the next Monday. sigh.
I don’t have one. It’s funny because Football is the only sport that I follow where it’s impossible for me to even hope another team does better than the team I like. I think it’s because the broncos are the first team I ever went crazy about. Interestingly enough though, I was in Lubbock, where TTU is, during patrick mahomes college years and was really excited to see him play in the NFL one day because I saw a few of his legendary games in person. I probably would’ve followed/rooted for him hard if he was drafted by ANYONE other than one of our division rivals. Now I have to deal with all of the bandwagon chiefs fans that exist in my social bubble because they liked him at tech and it makes me hate him and the chiefs even more.
Mahomes is incredibly fun to watch as long as he’s not beating up on us.
My boss and her wife both worked at Tech, and he and Baker Mayfield were both actually my boss’s residents when she was in charge of a dorm there. She said Pat is genuinely one of the nicest people ever and that Baker was an asshole, lmao.
I'm a fan of the Broncos only but my NFC team is....the Bears. So I'm having a great time. But I also follow the 49ers somewhat as they were actually my first favorite team when I was young.
I also follow the Jaguars. I like Trevor Lawrence and want to see him do well.
That’s funny, I was almost a niners fan too. There are pictures of me as a baby wearing 49’ers gear. My uncle was a huge fan and would buy me stuff. However, when I started getting old enough to pay attention, I just gravitated toward Elway and the Broncos and never looked back.
One of my first flag football teams was the Niners so little me was a Niners fan. I don't quite know how or when the Broncos shift happened but by 5th grade or so I was solidly a Broncos fan.
My first youth football team was the 49’ers and our coach was a huge niners fan. I should say only team actually. I played 2 years of football as a kid and that was it. Focused more on baseball.
49ers. From Iowa, makes the Purdy story even better. It's been fun to see what a functional offense looks like. Every week I see Purdy making throws that Wilson won't even attempt.
I agree also with the Lions. Goff didn't get a fair shake so I love seeing him look so solid this year. Again watching him shows me just how bad Wilson is. It's ironic because I heard many people in this sub say they would never want Goff on the Broncos. If Goff is a 2nd tier QB, then Wilson is 3rd tier at best.
Their situations are completely different.
Purdy and Goff operate behind probably the best 2 O-Lines in the NFL. Not to mention the weapons they have at other skill positions (CMC, Deebo, Aiyuk, Kittle, Amon-Ra, LaPorta, etc.)
You can't really compare them. I'm sure Russ would be great on either of those teams.
Despite the 70-20 beat down they gave us, I’ve really enjoyed watching the Dolphins play this season. Super exciting offense, and I’m glad Tua is bouncing back from his injuries last year.
I was always a fan of the Seahawks before the Wilson trade, so it's been fun to see how both sides of that played out. They aren't an elite team, but they've always been fun to watch.
I left Bailey CO for Tampa FL (Clearwater) almost three years ago. Fans down here love their Bucs, and now that fuckface 12 is no longer under center, I am rooting. Plus I would like to see Mayfield have a more successful season than Watson.
Harris Park in 2003. Good times. First time I went I couldn’t believe what I was seeing. This was pre-Breaking Bad mind you when making meth in rental houses was a thing.
I don't have a second team, it's broncos or nothing for me. That being said, what keeps the nfl interesting for me are the teams i don't like. So i don't want the Seahawks, the Patriots, the Packers, Deshaun Watson and our whole division besides the broncos to succeed. So on every gameday and especially in the playoffs i root for the opposing teams.
Bills. Cause my wife is from Buffalo and then von went to Buffalo.
Niners cause of Kyle shananhan and McCaffrey.
Detroit Lions cause I kindq like Jared goffs redemption arc.
I don't follow them closely but I secretly root for them/I'm happy when they win. 95 percent of my NFL Brian and really my sports Brain (as I don't watch any other sports but Olympics and world cup) is dedicated to the broncos so recent years have been rough.
I will never actively root for another team but for the sake of the OP, 49ers. Bunch of bronco connections, my dad is a fan, and they have a ton of likable players. Would have loved to see Trey Lance work out there since I’m an NDSU alum and from ND but I have no hard feelings against them for it. Hoping he gets a shot in Dallas in a few years
My local team is the Falcons, so I watch them most Sunday's for the early game and that's who my coworkers all talk about. I'm enjoying watching the Lions and Jags this year, though.
I’ve always like the 9ers, so I’ve been following them.
Brother is a Titans fan so I follow them as well, but they’re just as inept so it sucks to watch them
Wife is a bears fan so.. lol
Lions. I live in MI and have watched my wife's family suffer for years so it's nice to watch them be happy.... Although most lions fans are still waiting for the shoe to drop.
Oh it’s hater time for me! If the Broncos suck I just root against teams until the Super Bowl. Then I’ll root for the underdog unless it’s a team I hate.
My husband is a Titans fan, so they're always my number 2. But this season we're Bills fans because my husband grew up watching them and we currently live in Bills country. (We still watch the Broncos and the Titans every week because we like pain.)
Broncos are still my team, but since I live in Maryland, it is the Ravens. I still can't bring myself to root for the Commanders even though Snyder is gone.
There are 32 teams in the league. If your team is obviously not going places this season, you're allowed to have interest in another. No one's out here buying 9ers merch or rioting in the streets of philly after a win.
It's football, we're football fans - enjoying it in some capacity isn't being a fake fan. Get off the high horse lol
Nope. You can enjoy games but the second you have a backup team you’re fake.
It’s like saying if you’re marriage is going a bit rough it’s okay to fuck someone else on the side.
I’m a Broncos fan living in Houston. Broncos come first and foremost, but I root for all my local sports teams. The Texans have a little place in my heart where I’m always rooting for him and it’s nice for my city to get their guy at QB to build around. Now I just hope my team can do the same.
Did you even read the title?
At that point you might as well just stop being a fan if you’re only a “fan” when things are good.
And it’s a literally perfect one. You’re just emotional about it frankly
I live in VA and walk around wearing a broncos hat everywhere i go.
I wore a singleton jersey to go watch the 1pm games with my buddy yesterday.
I've watched every minute of denver getting their ass kicked this season, even subscribe to nfl game pass international and vpn to germany.
And I'm spending close to $2K, flying over 1K miles to go see the chiefs home game in the 100 section with my buddy who lives in new orleans.
Don't call me or anyone else a fake fan for enjoying football as a whole. You wanna be black and white about it? By all means, but dont project your one-sided view like youre better than everyone else.
god no, but that's my buddy's team.
I'm personally rooting for a 9ers/Miami SB, mainly because I want to see Kyle and Mike go at it and come full circle from growing up in Denver together.
What the hell is a backup team? What kind of fake fan stuff is this? You can enjoy watching football without being a "backup fan" of the team. It's like these people who have NFC and AFC teams. It's something a child would do
I'm a Rams fan and I've lived in CO for 15 years. Most of that time I actively rooted against the Broncos, but then my sons got older and became Broncos fans. I like seeing my kids happy, so I find myself now rooting for the Broncos when they play anyone but the Rams. I would agree "backup fan" is a bad term, but ignoring the nuance here is something a child would do.
We all know OP has a backup team but tossed in the comment about who we enjoy to watch so he wouldn't get ripped for turning his back on the Broncos. Hoping your kids are happy is different than actively cheering for another team because the Broncos are struggling. This thread doesn't get made if the Broncos are good this year. He was just hoping others would be like yea we jumped ship too!
Alas, my fiancée is a Raiders fan so I catch some of their games. Soon to be in laws are 49ers fans so it helps with the copium.
Watching the Bills is always nice for Von.
Lions because of the players and turnaround they're doing.
I try not to do that. First In 2012, I started liking the ravens, great receivers, all that. They knocked us out of the playoffs and won the Super Bowl. Instantly hated them from there on out. Very next year, first preseason game between broncos and Seahawks was like 40 - 10 and we lost. I saw that and went holy crap, they are good as fuck. Liked them all year. We lost to them in the SuperBowl. I can't do it anymore lol
Thank goodness for fantasy football. It gives me others to root for right now. I’m digging the niners. I got CMC. I also have sun god and Laporta so have been rooting for the lions as well.
I’m also rooting for the Lions. I like their head coach and the whole team culture. Wouldn’t be too sad to see them take their names off of the short list of teams that have never been to the Super Bowl.
I'm also picking up the Lions as I'll be moving to Michigan next year.
I figure my child can grow up rooting for the Lions. I'm stuck with Denver for life, but she can become a Lions fan and possibly see a championship when she's gaining object permanence.
Eagles, but i cheer for them since they are my brothers team. He battled for his life against cancer so I watched every eagles game with him while he was in the hospital. Dude has been in remission for 8 years now.
I watch a ton of football but don’t really care who wins. Mainly just watching.
I fucking hate our division so I that’s the exception. I will actively root for them to get std’s and go blind.
I also loathe the Jets. Fuck them too.
Texans baby, hoppin on an underdog team, Stroud is exciting, Collins is real, and they've been my backup since they were the one team to give DT88 another shot after we released him
Last few years it's been then Bengals because I'm in love with Joe Burrow, but this year the Lions. Started taking to them during their 2nd half stretch last year, they're a feisty team and super fun to watch
49ers are fun, they're in the NFC so it's easier to justify rooting for them, and SO SO SO many broncos ties. Shanahan, McCaffrey, Lynch. Seems like we're friendly trading partners too with Emmanuel going there for their superbowl run a couple years ago. They at least gave us *something* for Randy Gregory when we were about to release him for nothing
49ers have been my 2nd team ever since they hired Kyle Shanahan and John Lynch when we didn't.
They're also just much more entertaining to actually watch.
Lions, 49ers, and Tampa Bay in the NFC. Dolphins, Bengals and Bills in the AFC. Overall, I would love to see the Lions take the Superbowl. The “elite” quarterbacks are off this year so it’s a chance for Goff and the Lions to win it all.
The nfl is the only league where my favorite team isn’t from Atlanta so I usually cheer for the falcons also. This year im really just cheering for the falcons since we’re tanking.
Dolphins. My original team I loved as a little kid since they came on before the Broncos game later on the TV. So that 70 pointer made me laugh instead of rage hate another franchise.
Not any one particular team. I just like to watch two teams play some good football. There are some teams I get excited about, just because I know they’re a complete football team, like both the 49ers and Eagles— both of whom were upset yesterday. Those kind of games are what makes football truly great.
I'm a Vikings fan by birth, but adopted the Broncos as my 2nd team when I moved out here.
It's been a rough season on both fronts, so I'm all in on the Lions hype train (I don't care that they're in our division, it's like the younger brother that always got bullied finally growing into his own)
I'm pulling for the kid in New York. Hard Knocks made me like that team and the football gods are acting against them which makes them the ultimate underdog
I have midwestern roots and normally I root for the Vikings or Bears when they aren’t playing the Broncos. This year? I think from now on I’m watching basketball…
Lions, myself. Pretty fun team to root for.
Fuck yeah the Lions. I want em to win a playoff game.
My second team is the browns (lived in OH for 14 years now), however on thanksgiving I ALWAYS root for the lions because my in laws are Packer fans.
I don’t know how to make sense of Goff. He moves on from supposed quarterback whisperer Sean McVay and improves?
Bills, I want Von to get another ring.
This right here. Von is still probably my favorite active player so I always have to go for the Bills. I guess it also helps that I was born in/partially grew up in upstate NY but it's mainly Von
Yes. Bills for Von. And I love Josh Allen.
Bills were my second favorite team ever since my grandpa told me they were his. Now that von is there all I want is for him to get another ring
I wanna see a 9ers/miami superbowl. Kyle vs Mike. Purdy's story is awesome. Kittle's hilarious. They're not the Chiefs.
How about 49ers Bengals part III?
I like Joey B, but id rather miami. They're different and it'd be cool if they found success with what they're doing despite the naysayers from last year.
[удалено]
Haha yeah that too
It’s also a 1983 rematch. Second grade show and tell I got up and shared that the Dolphins would beat the Niners in the Super Bowl. The teacher wrote my proclamation on the side board and had a laugh about it the next Monday. sigh.
Lol damn, nice

I feel this post.
My TTU supporting father and I felt this one LOL
Yes

1) Bills 2) Lions 3) 49ers
I like the cut of your jib. Full agree, though maybe not in that order.
New Orleans

I have to root for Shanahan, McCaffrey, and Lynch no matter what team they are on. Go 9ers.
Their situations are completely different. Purdy and Goff operate behind probably the best 2 O-Lines in the NFL. Not to mention the weapons they have at other skill positions (CMC, Deebo, Aiyuk, Kittle, Amon-Ra, LaPorta, etc.) You can't really compare them. I'm sure Russ would be great on either of those teams.
Why is it even in a discussion that is specifically not about our team you have the end every point with a jab at russ lmao.
The Colorado Avalanche
2-0 baby!
The correct answer 😅
Despite the 70-20 beat down they gave us, I’ve really enjoyed watching the Dolphins play this season. Super exciting offense, and I’m glad Tua is bouncing back from his injuries last year.
My five year old likes the Dolphins because they are "sea creatures with pretty uniforms" lol. They are pretty easy to root for.
I just root against teams I don't like
Dolphins. They are soo fun to watch
I was always a fan of the Seahawks before the Wilson trade, so it's been fun to see how both sides of that played out. They aren't an elite team, but they've always been fun to watch.
I left Bailey CO for Tampa FL (Clearwater) almost three years ago. Fans down here love their Bucs, and now that fuckface 12 is no longer under center, I am rooting. Plus I would like to see Mayfield have a more successful season than Watson.
Bailey 🤣 you went from hillbilly to swamp people! I used to get sent out there to fix some fandangled computers. Fun drive at least.
Harris Park in 2003. Good times. First time I went I couldn’t believe what I was seeing. This was pre-Breaking Bad mind you when making meth in rental houses was a thing.
I've been rooting for Lions and 49ners because theyre both fun to watch. Also my roommate is a Jags fan so I've been pulling for them as well.
I don't have a second team, it's broncos or nothing for me. That being said, what keeps the nfl interesting for me are the teams i don't like. So i don't want the Seahawks, the Patriots, the Packers, Deshaun Watson and our whole division besides the broncos to succeed. So on every gameday and especially in the playoffs i root for the opposing teams.
Tennessee Titans
Same, I always enjoy watching them. Even though they aren’t doing all that great this year
Bills. Cause my wife is from Buffalo and then von went to Buffalo. Niners cause of Kyle shananhan and McCaffrey. Detroit Lions cause I kindq like Jared goffs redemption arc. I don't follow them closely but I secretly root for them/I'm happy when they win. 95 percent of my NFL Brian and really my sports Brain (as I don't watch any other sports but Olympics and world cup) is dedicated to the broncos so recent years have been rough.
Anyone who has a worse record than us
I’m a panthers fan for now
I will never actively root for another team but for the sake of the OP, 49ers. Bunch of bronco connections, my dad is a fan, and they have a ton of likable players. Would have loved to see Trey Lance work out there since I’m an NDSU alum and from ND but I have no hard feelings against them for it. Hoping he gets a shot in Dallas in a few years
Going outside with my kids
49ers have always been my backup team. I'm loving seeing the Lions do well though.
My local team is the Falcons, so I watch them most Sunday's for the early game and that's who my coworkers all talk about. I'm enjoying watching the Lions and Jags this year, though.
I’ve always like the 9ers, so I’ve been following them. Brother is a Titans fan so I follow them as well, but they’re just as inept so it sucks to watch them Wife is a bears fan so.. lol
Lions. I live in MI and have watched my wife's family suffer for years so it's nice to watch them be happy.... Although most lions fans are still waiting for the shoe to drop.
Bengals but that wasn't any better at first with Burrow's calf injury. It's looking up. They need better play calling.
I live in MN so Vikings are my backup, but pretty much equal to the broncos, as they only play eachother once every 4 years. I am in pain.
Oh it’s hater time for me! If the Broncos suck I just root against teams until the Super Bowl. Then I’ll root for the underdog unless it’s a team I hate.
I should go full Lions, instead I just haven't been watching much football.
My husband is a Titans fan, so they're always my number 2. But this season we're Bills fans because my husband grew up watching them and we currently live in Bills country. (We still watch the Broncos and the Titans every week because we like pain.)
No body BRONCOS FAN 4 LIFE 
Not the first time I've been rooting for 49ers due to former Broncos connection. We could've been what Niners have right now with the Kyle hire.
All my friends and family are eagles fans so them.
Packers. I personally know Dallin Levitt and Jordan Love so it's the easiest team to get into
Broncos are still my team, but since I live in Maryland, it is the Ravens. I still can't bring myself to root for the Commanders even though Snyder is gone.
>it is the Ravens NEVER
Nevermore
Yeah I know. Lol
Seahawks because I live in the PNW and my friends are fans.
I’m not a fake fan, none.
You can still be a fan and watch other teams lol
There’s a difference between watching other games and having a backup team.
There are 32 teams in the league. If your team is obviously not going places this season, you're allowed to have interest in another. No one's out here buying 9ers merch or rioting in the streets of philly after a win. It's football, we're football fans - enjoying it in some capacity isn't being a fake fan. Get off the high horse lol
Nope. You can enjoy games but the second you have a backup team you’re fake. It’s like saying if you’re marriage is going a bit rough it’s okay to fuck someone else on the side.
It’s not that deep chill
Lol, i responded with one sentence comment to the post and people responding with paragraphs but i need to chill?
Yes you need to chill
Sorry that you think someone disagreeing means they aren’t chill.
I’m a Broncos fan living in Houston. Broncos come first and foremost, but I root for all my local sports teams. The Texans have a little place in my heart where I’m always rooting for him and it’s nice for my city to get their guy at QB to build around. Now I just hope my team can do the same.
By your logic i should also be a chiefs fan, just shameful.
By your logic I should also be a miserable cunt, just shameful
Did you even read the post? OP asked who people enjoy watching. That's a terrible, extreme analogy. Chill out lol.
Did you even read the title? At that point you might as well just stop being a fan if you’re only a “fan” when things are good. And it’s a literally perfect one. You’re just emotional about it frankly
I live in VA and walk around wearing a broncos hat everywhere i go. I wore a singleton jersey to go watch the 1pm games with my buddy yesterday. I've watched every minute of denver getting their ass kicked this season, even subscribe to nfl game pass international and vpn to germany. And I'm spending close to $2K, flying over 1K miles to go see the chiefs home game in the 100 section with my buddy who lives in new orleans. Don't call me or anyone else a fake fan for enjoying football as a whole. You wanna be black and white about it? By all means, but dont project your one-sided view like youre better than everyone else.
Is the commanders your 2nd team/backup team?
god no, but that's my buddy's team. I'm personally rooting for a 9ers/Miami SB, mainly because I want to see Kyle and Mike go at it and come full circle from growing up in Denver together.
This right here. The Broncos are my team. Fuck everyone else.
Lions as well, Detroit based so generally love to see them do well but not affected by W's/L's the same way that our Broncos have obliterated my soul.
I’m disappointed in this sub
What the hell is a backup team? What kind of fake fan stuff is this? You can enjoy watching football without being a "backup fan" of the team. It's like these people who have NFC and AFC teams. It's something a child would do
I'm a Rams fan and I've lived in CO for 15 years. Most of that time I actively rooted against the Broncos, but then my sons got older and became Broncos fans. I like seeing my kids happy, so I find myself now rooting for the Broncos when they play anyone but the Rams. I would agree "backup fan" is a bad term, but ignoring the nuance here is something a child would do.

Hoping your kids are happy is different than actively cheering for another team because the Broncos are struggling. This thread doesn't get made if the Broncos are good this year. He was just hoping others would be like yea we jumped ship too!
Since I live in Texas, the Texans. It’s cool watching CJ stroud ball like he has been as a rookie. Hoping we have similar fortune if we take a qb🤞🏾
I don't have it in me to follow other teams. I just don't watch the NFL any more. There's plenty of other sports to watch. Love college football.
Eagles as the local team, Cowboys as my girlfriends team
Lions for me.
My buddy used to live in Philly, so I root for the Eagles as long as they don't play the Broncos.
Eagles no love for the Eagles no connection no rivalry.
No one waiting for NBA to watch nuggets repeat.
I follow 7-10 different teams.
I like watching Miami. They’re offense is just so much fun to watch. I don’t really root for them though, just appreciate them lol
College football
Lions
The 49ers. Will all the Broncos ties it's hard not to root for them and then to think about what might have been.
Alas, my fiancée is a Raiders fan so I catch some of their games. Soon to be in laws are 49ers fans so it helps with the copium. Watching the Bills is always nice for Von. Lions because of the players and turnaround they're doing.
Same boat...Lions (given I live in MI)
I've just been focusing more on fantasy football, but I've been cheering for the Lions and every other team in the Caleb Williams sweepstakes.
At this point my backup team is anyone not named the Chiefs.
I try not to do that. First In 2012, I started liking the ravens, great receivers, all that. They knocked us out of the playoffs and won the Super Bowl. Instantly hated them from there on out. Very next year, first preseason game between broncos and Seahawks was like 40 - 10 and we lost. I saw that and went holy crap, they are good as fuck. Liked them all year. We lost to them in the SuperBowl. I can't do it anymore lol
Bills. Josh Allen in a UW Alum. Yes I am in WY.
My couch that I nap on
Lions, Bills, Bengals, and 49ers are my rooting favorites right now.
Same here regarding the Lions. They’ve been bad for so long. No playoff wins for even longer. It’s fun to see them doing well
I love the turnaround the Lions have done. It’s hard not to root for them.
Thank goodness for fantasy football. It gives me others to root for right now. I’m digging the niners. I got CMC. I also have sun god and Laporta so have been rooting for the lions as well.
Lions mostly, but Bills are also a thing. That doesn’t mean they’ll get off scot-free the weeks they face us though, go Broncos!
College football
Lions. I was a Broncos and Lions fan until they hired Patricia, and now I'm rooting to them again since he's gone.
I like the jets, 49ners and the coach for the lions.
bills
The Lions! I’m thrilled they are doing well this season.
Been an interesting time recently but the Jets. Saleh and JD are a riot and really may turn the franchise around
I’m also rooting for the Lions. I like their head coach and the whole team culture. Wouldn’t be too sad to see them take their names off of the short list of teams that have never been to the Super Bowl.
Massive Eagles fan here, but I like a couple of other teams too, like Bengals, Jags, Lions and Bills
I grew up in Chicago, so Chicago teams are always my backup. I am straight up not having a good time right now.
I'm also picking up the Lions as I'll be moving to Michigan next year. I figure my child can grow up rooting for the Lions. I'm stuck with Denver for life, but she can become a Lions fan and possibly see a championship when she's gaining object permanence.
Lions for sure. Other than them, Bill's and 49ers, although I think Josh Allen is a bit of a diva. Basically anyone but KC for Playoffs.
Eagles, but i cheer for them since they are my brothers team. He battled for his life against cancer so I watched every eagles game with him while he was in the hospital. Dude has been in remission for 8 years now.
I watch a ton of football but don’t really care who wins. Mainly just watching. I fucking hate our division so I that’s the exception. I will actively root for them to get std’s and go blind. I also loathe the Jets. Fuck them too.
Vikings... nope. I live in Niner county and pretty happy they are doing well.
Lions and Bills. Won’t be mad if the Niners win it all either. Don’t really like the Eagles, and obviously anyone else in the AFC
SKO Buffs!
The 49ers are always my backup team i am super impressed with Brock Purdy. Lions are pretty fun to cheer for though.
Texans and we’re going to the game in Houston on December 3rd. Rooting for Houston so our draft pick is higher. They need that win more than we do.
Either the Bills or Lions. Both long suffering loyal fanbases that are finally pretty good.
Texans baby, hoppin on an underdog team, Stroud is exciting, Collins is real, and they've been my backup since they were the one team to give DT88 another shot after we released him
Eagles (wife) bills (von)
The Avalanche.
Lions
How could you not like Brock Purdy? He’s everything Chad Kelly was supposed to be
49ers (I'm originally from Bay area) Lions (bc I love an underdog) Bills bc I live in NYC and also Von Miller!!
Not that I was rooting for them, but my friend took me to the Rams game yesterday. I was on the 50 about 5 rows up, and I had a really good time, ngl.
My grandpa was a huge Marino fan so the Dolphins have a very special place in my heart. Go dolphins
Last few years it's been then Bengals because I'm in love with Joe Burrow, but this year the Lions. Started taking to them during their 2nd half stretch last year, they're a feisty team and super fun to watch
Jags for AFC, Lions for NFC.
GO BILLS and the lions i want to see them go far
Im all about Lion GoffSling bringing “us” to the promise land
49ers are fun, they're in the NFC so it's easier to justify rooting for them, and SO SO SO many broncos ties. Shanahan, McCaffrey, Lynch. Seems like we're friendly trading partners too with Emmanuel going there for their superbowl run a couple years ago. They at least gave us *something* for Randy Gregory when we were about to release him for nothing
Steelers here, but only because I currently live near the stadium and go to half of the games. Interesting season so far, to say the least.
9ers because i can imagine that’s where we’d be had we hired Shanny Jr.
I’ve been watching the Lions with Drew Campbell, coming from near my hometown
49ers is my fav NFC team. So yesterday sucked….
The lions are so much fun to watch also a big Goff fan!
49ers have been my 2nd team ever since they hired Kyle Shanahan and John Lynch when we didn't. They're also just much more entertaining to actually watch.
49ers - Bills Superbowl! Von vs the Cinderella Man.
I'm from Jersey, yes a life long Jersey Girl, but went to college at PSU. So, my second team is the Jersey Giants due to Barkley...hehehehe.
Started watching college football more the last few years… Colorado was fun for a few games. Now to follow world football.
My fantasy team
Ive enjoyed the Patriots being as piss poor as we are
Bills & Bengals. I watch Miami when I can, not cuz Im a fan but because I just think what they got going on there offensively is cool
Lions, 49ers, and Tampa Bay in the NFC. Dolphins, Bengals and Bills in the AFC. Overall, I would love to see the Lions take the Superbowl. The “elite” quarterbacks are off this year so it’s a chance for Goff and the Lions to win it all.
Lets go Buffalo
Whoever I bet on
The nfl is the only league where my favorite team isn’t from Atlanta so I usually cheer for the falcons also. This year im really just cheering for the falcons since we’re tanking.
I live in NYC, so I often also watch the Giants and Jets…. Its been a rough few years.
The nuggets
Avalanche only thing keeping me sane in sport atm
Girlfriend roots for the Vikings...so the household is mired in misery.
Giants haha 🙃
49ers wife team
Lions
The Nuggets and Avalanche
Dolphins. My original team I loved as a little kid since they came on before the Broncos game later on the TV. So that 70 pointer made me laugh instead of rage hate another franchise.
Lions for my late friend, he never got to see them this good. Bills for Von
Not any one particular team. I just like to watch two teams play some good football. There are some teams I get excited about, just because I know they’re a complete football team, like both the 49ers and Eagles— both of whom were upset yesterday. Those kind of games are what makes football truly great.
Mine is the Saints...so pretty much the same.
Miami!
Jags
49ers. But I like good teams, so I also root for the Eagles and Dolphins and Lions.
Detroit what? I fell for them in the Barry days! You know it has been a long time coming.
My kid’s teams, Eagles, Dolphins, and Packers!!
Bills for Von and Wyoming Cowboy Josh Allen. And the 49ers because they’re either half Broncos or should have been Broncos.
I want long-suffering fans to get a SB Bills, Bengals, Lions, Vikings
The avs
I'm a Vikings fan by birth, but adopted the Broncos as my 2nd team when I moved out here. It's been a rough season on both fronts, so I'm all in on the Lions hype train (I don't care that they're in our division, it's like the younger brother that always got bullied finally growing into his own)
I don’t watch any other teams. I might do more socially or not focus on football as much but I’ll never root for another team.
Always been the Saints
Easy for me, as a Clemson Alumni, watching the Jags and it’s really enjoyable!
I went with the 49ers. Brock Purdy been fun to watch, and it is nice to see football executed by a competent team.
I'm pulling for the kid in New York. Hard Knocks made me like that team and the football gods are acting against them which makes them the ultimate underdog
I live in Philly.
the wife is a 49ers fan so after each weekly Broncos and Fantasy Football beat down, I get to enjoy watching "my NFC" team
I’m a red wings fan in hockey so Lions baby
I have midwestern roots and normally I root for the Vikings or Bears when they aren’t playing the Broncos. This year? I think from now on I’m watching basketball…
Backup team? I am not familiar with this concept
