A Lovers Guide to the AFC Wild Card

"The world needs haters lovers. Without them, we'd be faced with a society of people walking around, consistently feeling good bad about themselves."

- Deuce



Because the team(s) sponsored here at FSD have both been bounced from the playoffs and/or never made it, and in lieu of the fact that we must pick a team to support, we are choosing to say, "fuck it Yay!" If we are gonna be forced (in the end) to lend our support to some unworthy collection of impressive athletes, then we will not do so without a fight! Sure, it's not the NFC, but we can still (try) and be excited about the AFC, right?  RIGHT?!?  And so without any additional delay, let us introduce the detestable lovable candidates!

El Al Airlines

Why they are worthy of your support: Because Rex Ryan is a man when you are too busy being afraid to be a man.

Because bullet trains have trouble escaping Darrelle Revis' blanket coverage, and won't it be nice to see Ochocinco changed back to Johnson?


Because Thomas Jones is a freak of nature and runs like he's got somewhere to be.  Namely, the end zone.

Why they are unworthy of your support: 9-7


Jungle Fever

Why they are worthy of your support:  Because isn't it nice to see Carson Palmer finally climbing back into the playoffs after Kimo von's Gillooly attempt?

And how about Cedric Benson?  I'd say that he was actually the comeback player of the year considering how his life and career had been an all out disaster since being drafted a few years back. Comeback Player of the Decade.  How about that?

Because they're not the Steelers!  Yayyy!!!

Why they are unworthy of your support: Because this is the only team in the playoffs that actually has a chance of losing to the Jets, validating their dirty presence in the playoffs, and that's just sad.


Blackbird Killing in the Dead of Night

Why they are worthy of your support: Because how about a second-year quarterback making his second appearance in the playoffs?

Because even though the defense lost their coordinator they were still able to recover and be a formidable unit, even after losing their all-pro safety for several games.

Because of the Sake Bomb

Why they are unworthy of your support: Because of Jim Harbaugh's attempted fantasy assassination on all of my clubs that featured Ray Rice.  Ray Ray deserves to get into the end zone, too!  Not cool, brah. I will NEVER forget.


Dead Men Walking

Why they are worthy of your support: Because Kevin Faulk has been the greatest utility player of the last decade in the NFL.

Because Bill Belichick is currently handling all football and administrative duties for the Patriots organization outside of signing the paychecks for this team.  Seriously, do they even have an offensive or defensive coordinator?

Because you're anti-semitic if you don't support them.

Why they are unworthy of your support: Well, where to begin?

Who wins this weekend?  Does it even really matter?  The show hasn't even started yet in the AFC since the true contenders do not suit up until the following week.  It's all has a very big waiting room feel to it, but that's okay.  It's football, and we need to appreciate what we got while we got it.  So, spread the love y'all!  Happy football weekend.
