If You Changed Your Allegiance...
 

In honor of Dirtbag...

If you had to, or wanted to jump ship, and go root for another team who would you root for?

Here's the catch though, it has to be a team that finished below .500 each of the last two seasons so your choices are as follows

Buffalo Bills
Cincinnati Bengals
Kansas City Chiefs (I'll bet this gets the most votes)
Oakland Raiders
Detroit Lions
San Francisco 49ers
St. Louis Rams

Re: If You Changed Your Allegiance...
 

Should have known this was coming. Id have to go with the Lions. Only because they can't get any worse.

Re: If You Changed Your Allegiance...
 

49ers. I love the city of SF and would love to make annual trips to SF to watch them play.

Re: If You Changed Your Allegiance...
 

Whoever hired me. That's my next team.

Voted Raiders. Also have a soft spot for the Chiefs (I have a lot of Kansas City media in my feed, since I subscribe to the Royals coverage, so I sort of get the pulse there whether I want to or not), and since I've actually visited the area and like it, Lions.

Re: If You Changed Your Allegiance...
 

Wife and in-laws are from Detroit so I'll go with them. Have a soft spot for the Chiefs as well, from the Marty years there.

Re: If You Changed Your Allegiance...
 

I went with the Bills, maybe get to watch some games played in the snow.

Re: If You Changed Your Allegiance...
 

The Bills. I have a ton of family in and around the Buffalo area. Lots of relatives on my Dad's side are Bills fans.

Re: If You Changed Your Allegiance...
 

could not and would not jump ship as long as the skins are here. detroit is a lovable loser though.

Re: If You Changed Your Allegiance...
 

Id have to go with the Chiefs. My brother is a chiefs fan so i guess id have to help him out. Plus i gotta stick with some sort of indian.

Re: If You Changed Your Allegiance...
 

Bills... imagine how apeshit that town would go if they won a superbowl.

Re: If You Changed Your Allegiance...
 

Can't even fathom it.
Pure sacrilege.

Re: If You Changed Your Allegiance...
 

One of my fraternity Bros owns the Bills so I'd go with him to be loyal.

Re: If You Changed Your Allegiance...
 

I would have to go with the Radiers, only because of the silver and black

Re: If You Changed Your Allegiance...
 

Why would I want to root for a lousy team? I guess I'd pick the 49ers if I had to.

you already root for a lousy team

Lol...

Re: If You Changed Your Allegiance...
 

I think is funny that people are willing to not to put on a Cowboys jersey, but quick to jump ship and "leave" the Redskins to root for another team.

Re: If You Changed Your Allegiance...
 

Ok what I don't get is the below .500 stipulation... Niners (SF is one of my favorite cities)

... I will never pledge allegiance to another team. NEVER. Even if Snyder owns the team my whole life and does no better than he's done so far. HTTR.

Re: If You Changed Your Allegiance...
 

I wouldn't. I won't. If I could...it would have already happened.

Re: If You Changed Your Allegiance...
 

If I changed my allegiance, it would be from Pro Football to strictly college. Honestly, if the Skins keep stinking it up and the league doesn't improve the refs, I might just bolt. This league is rigged....me thinks.

Re: If You Changed Your Allegiance...
 

Raiders.

Because if you root for anyone else in their stadium... You get stabbed. That's threatening enough for me to jump on board.

Re: If You Changed Your Allegiance...
 

Ain't going to happen. The Skins could go 0-16 for the next 10 years and they would still be my team.

If I had to have a second team from that lot it would be the Chiefs.

I'll trade you SF for San Diego. I love SF, but San Diego.... C'mon perfect weather, beautiful beaches, next door to Baja, etc.

houston texans

Below .500 so everyone isn't just saying "Oh well, the Patriots" or "The Steelers" etc. Just wanted people to think about some teams that are doing poorly (worse than the Skins) these past two seasons that they would embrace because they like the team, they think the team has a strong future.

Re: If You Changed Your Allegiance...
 

Of these teams I'd take the 49ers. It's a matter of nostalgia, they were dominant in the 80s when I was a kid. I guess because of that the NFL just feels right to me when the 49ers are doing well, it just feels like the world makes sense.

Re: If You Changed Your Allegiance...
 

Where's the Browns at??

Re: If You Changed Your Allegiance...
 

I'd go Raiders, but the caveat is Al Davis can't be the owner. If not, I'll go with the Chiefs

Re: If You Changed Your Allegiance...
 

I'll never change my allegiance. I'm Burgundy and Gold for Life! However, in the spirit of this thread, if I ever lost my mind and stopped cheering for the Skins it would be because I stopped watching football altogether. Seriously what would be the point in going on as a football fan if I didn't cheer for the Skins? I cannot and will not offer an answer because that suggests it's a realistic thought for me.

Now I'm going to weep softly in the corner, with beer in hand, for each of you who actually answered this question.

HAIL TO THE REDSKINS AND TO HELL WITH THE OTHER 31!!

Re: If You Changed Your Allegiance...
 

I get that it's the off season and that we have to jump start discussions but lately I'm disturbed by the line of questions around here. Whose jersey would you wear, who would you root for? What's next? If your penis had to be cutoff how would you dispose of it? If you had to be molested as a child who would prefer to be molested by?


I smoke Burgundy and Gold and I go on spiritual quests with Redskins.

1- I'd throw it in the Cowgirls locker room 2- Jennifer Lopez

Re: If You Changed Your Allegiance...
 

I'd have to go w/ KC Cheifs. Their fan base is as strong as any in the NFL so I always respected that.

Re: If You Changed Your Allegiance...
 

If I would never consider being a bandwagon chaser for elite teams, why would I ever consider a shit team? Of the choices, SF would be most attractive with their championship legacy, but I will die a Skins fan even if the Danny never delivers a Super Bowl.

Re: If You Changed Your Allegiance...
 

It would be tough, but I'd probably go with KC. I hate every other AFC West team already anyways so it would be a natural transition.

Re: If You Changed Your Allegiance...
 

I went with the Rams because they have the most realistic shot at a turnaround IMO.

Since college football has such a perfect and fair system like the BCS, right? :doh:

The College Bowl system rewards teams and fans with atleast one big game at the the of the season. Face it, if you're going tothe Holiday Nuts Bowl, at least it's a big deal for your school and fans.

The NFL is rigged in its officiating. I don't think College has fallen to that level yet.

Re: If You Changed Your Allegiance...
 

My step father used to get all riled up and say that the NFL was fixed, but it seemed to only be fixed when his team was losing. :)
