My favorite teams
If the Bears no longer existed, who would you root for? Personally I enjoy watching the Bills and Chargers.

Showing my age, but back in the 70s the Bears absolutely sucked ass and the Raiders and Steelers were going at it, so I wound up having a soft spot for the Raiders. Yeah, I know it’s not anywhere near the same now, but, old habits die hard…

I live in Maryland, so I have adopted the Ravens as my second/AFC team. It doesn't hurt that they have won 2 SBs......
Both of those SB wins by the Ravens were similar to the Bears, as they rode the Defense, that 2000 Ravens defense was arguably as good as the 85 Bears (blaspheme I know), but not quite as exciting.
I watch that 2000 team go 5 straight games without scoring an offensive TD and they managed to win 2 of those games and finished the season 12-4 record.
That was the famous Trent Dilfer offense........

Let me just say that it was immensely enjoyable watching the Ravens absolutely destroy New England in that playoff game on their way to the last Super Bowl win. Baltimore dominated them in every capacity. I hated New England then. Actually, I still hate New England.

My favorite teams
The Ravens.
Was always a fan of their defenses going back to the early 2000s. I was rooting for them on their last Superbowl run so Ed Reed could finally get a ring.
Now they're fun to watch because of Lamar Jackson.

Bills were my 2nd team as a kid, and always will be.
As a football fan, I was mostly unhappy the last 30 years lol.

Only second favorite I ever had was Bum Phillips and the Houston Oilers in the late 70's early 80's. Pastorini, Campbell, White Shoes Johnson. Still pissed over the cheap call in the playoffs vs. the Steelers

I usually pick an AFC team to root for in the playoffs when Bears season is done. Last couple of years I've been really sick of the Chiefs and was rooting for the Bills and then Bengals to beat them. Was really rooting for the Bengals in the Superbowl.

Spent a majority of my life in Virginia, but the Redskins/Commanders were always terrible and the punchline of every joke growing up.,,Eventually gave my allegiance to the Bears whereas most of my extended family grew up in Chicago. If the Commanders were to actually build their stadium into Virginia instead of Maryland I could maybe find a way to get on board. Otherwise I hate them. They receive most of their support from Virginia, but conduct business in Maryland who already have the Ravens...Largest state without an NFL team that plays in it...

That 2012 team was not nearly a dominate on defense as in 2000, but Joe Flacco and the offense played amazing in the playoffs. That offense was run heavy, and great play action resulting in Joe showing off his gun, and yes the offensive line was a huge reason that Joe had time to throw and the RBs had holes to run through.....
