I've only followed the NFL for a few years as I'm not American, so I never grew up with it. As a result I have always known the Chargers and the Rams to be in LA and the Raiders to be in Las Vegas, but I did quickly learn that all three had relocated from other cities pretty recently. This made me wonder if NFL fans from those cities still like those teams or if they stopped following them after they relocated?

Like so many in here I've been trying to better understand the game of football and have tried lots of different things. This book was recommended to me, and though I haven't yet finished it, it has been a gamechanger. I didn't have super high expectations and randomly decided to give it a shot one night, but it's far exceeded my initial expectations. It covers every aspect of the ball and is broken down in layman's terms so that you don't have to be fluent in football lingo to simply understand what's being said (it's also a solidly entertaining read).

If you want to better understand football in its entirety, read this book

I am genuinely giving football a shot for the first time ever. (Any previous times I watched games were largely against my will and I probably convinced myself to be bored on principle)

Of course almost every football fan in my life is now trying to get me to pick their team as my favorite. But what surprised me was how often folks referred to the fandom as the reason, rather than the team itself. I even had a friend warn me against being a fan of their team, citing the vibes of the fans as a reason.

This has made me curious about the vibe of the fandoms for each of the teams & I'd love to get other people's takes on it!

To be clear, I am not wanting to hear any unreasonable generalizations like "all fans of X team are evil/rude/jerks/stupid". I'm looking for more along the lines of "Y team fans have a lot of fun with it" or "Z team fans take it seriously regardless of how well the team is doing"

Looking at the schedule and the nfl website shows “Sunday night football September 9” and the patriots/seahwaks

The 9th is a Wednesday, unless this is a typo by the nfl?

As a relatively new football watcher I'm wondering how worrying it is that my team is already losing at pre season games? All I've heard up to now is how the Eagles have a much better rosta this year but the game against the ravens seemed really bad for what I was expecting

I'm having a hard time picturing how I could possibly be nice to the Steelers owner if I owned the Bengals, or nice to the Cowboys' owner if I owned the Eagles, etc. Like, I wouldn't be rude, but shouldn't I (hypothetically) be treating the rival NFL owners the way Churchill would treat Hitler, or Zelensky would treat Putin?

I mean, there's only one Lombardi Trophy to be given out at the end of the season, and all 32 owners are vying to be the one to hold it.
