#NFL NFC North

[winguontheweb]

Me and @mirrorvi have been marveling at the consistency of these teams being in the same division for like 100 years

so I had to make them a poster based on our description of them.

YOU FUCKING FOUR.

The Lions are in the playoffs

Okay so here’s our schedule fellas. Let me walk you through it in beginner talk.

Fun and important adventure below :]]

NFL is broken into two organisations — The AFC and the NFC. They are then broken down into four regional divisions — each division has four teams. Teams from both the AFC and NFC will play each other throughout the season, but we also have divisional games, where you play the other teams within your division.

Bengals are in AFC North — AFC North consists of, the Cincinnati Bengals, the Cleveland Browns, the Baltimore Ravens, and the Shittsburgh Steelers. We play each of our divisional rivals twice in order to make a ranking within the division, which — on top of overall ranking — determines placement in the play-offs (which not every team gets into, as the season comes to a close, teams with lowest wins are eliminated.)

We always tend to struggle divisionally, so it’s good to have a preliminary look at the non-divisional teams we’ll play, be they other AFC teams or NFC teams. Some of the teams we have this season (i.e. Carolina Panthers, Denver Broncos, Tennessee Titans, etc.) are DOG ASS TEAMS ‼️‼️‼️ We should be able to cinch easy wins from those teams — but never say that out loud, because the Bengals have a habit of ‘bungling’ things up.

On the other hand, we also have some absolutely cracked teams in our schedule (i.e. Philly Eagles, Dallas Cowboys, and regrettably, the Kansas City Chiefs). These will be hard teams to beat, especially the Chiefs, because they’re the NFL’s baby pretty princess special boo boo ga ga team who can do no wrong. The game is scripted in their favour I swear to God. BUT it’s been done. We’ve been known to give those skanks a thrashing.

See, the Bengals are a bipolar team if ever there was one. We either wipe the floor with ‘em, or get absolutely barebacked and humiliated on live television for several weeks straight. We always start bad with even records but tend to climb up the winning ladder the closer to the end we get. Joe Burrow — our Quarterback — also has this cute little habit of getting season-ending injuries every fucking season. He also got a big pay check last year so he’s been playing like total ass. Jake Browning is our second Quarterback and he did an ace job last year for it being his first professional season. Evan McPhearson is our kicker and he’s my favourite. I want him.

If u would like to be a Bengal Freak like me, here are three tenants to follow to keep the spirit of the game alive in your soul:

1. KEEP THAT WHO DEY KITTY IN YOUR HEART !! (Who Dey is both our mascot and our signature chant) When you got the Who Dey on a Game Dey? You can conquer the world. First tenant — Be glad that we’re here.

2. Never say you think we’re going to win a game. It attaches some evil Pharaoh’s curse onto that week of football and we will lose. Even if it’s Q3 and the game only has 15 minutes of playtime left and we are up by multiple TD’s, do not say that we have it in the bag. Do not say we are gonna thrash their hides. Second tenant — If the Bengals can Bungle it, assume that they will.

3. We have enemies. But we also have friends. But more importantly we have enemies. The Chiefs — despite not being a division rival — are a team we are sworn against. Fuck those guys, we all hate ‘em no matter what team you support. Remember them as the key villain of the sport, and revel in their downfall whenever you can, just know that it never lasts long. Division teams are sworn to hatred — the Ravens, Browns, and Steelers all suck — but especially the Steelers. Remember to save all your hatred for those towel-wiping shit squealing Steelers. On the brighter side, the Buffalo Bills are our friends. We have done good things for each other over the past half-a-decade. We’ve got each other into play-offs via score manipulation, we’ve respected one another through very serious injuries, and we send each other food when our teams win. You will see Bengals fans touting them as our friends forever. We love the Bills Mafia. We are in a romantic relationship with the Bills Mafia. The Dolphins, Lions, and 49ers are also our chums! Third Tenant — Root for our rivals, and kill our enemies.

This has been Joey’s introductory guide to being a Bengals Buddy in 2024 — watch out for August when my entire account turns orange ^^ who dey!! 🐯🏈

Top 5 Upcoming Surprises: NFL 2024!

What’s Happening Playmakers!!

As the 2024 NFL season approaches, fans and analysts alike are buzzing with anticipation. While perennial powerhouses are expected to dominate, several teams are poised to surprise with their offseason moves and emerging talents. Here are the top five teams most likely to be pleasant surprises this season:

1. Tennessee Titans

No, this isn’t favoritism, or bias. If you’ve paid attention to the Titans’ offseason this year, and the sneakily solid moves they made, you would see why they are on this list. The Tennessee Titans have made significant strides this offseason, positioning themselves as a team to watch. Under the leadership of new head coach Brian Callahan, the Titans have revamped their roster with key additions: Calvin Ridley, L’Jarius Sneed, Chibode Awuzie, Lloyd Cushenberry, Quadre Diggs, Jamal Adams, Tyler Boyd, Tony Pollard. With these moves and a fresh coaching perspective, the Titans are set to make a strong impact in the AFC South.

2. Los Angeles Rams

The Los Angeles Rams have also made notable offseason moves that could lead to a surprising season. Despite facing salary cap challenges, the Rams have had a productive offseason. They signed cornerback Tre'Davious White to bolster their secondary and added guard Jonah Jackson to fortify their offensive line. Additionally, the Rams brought in tight end Colby Parkinson to improve their passing game. With these strategic additions and a revamped coaching staff, the Rams are well-positioned to compete in the NFC West.

3. Pittsburgh Steelers

The Pittsburgh Steelers are a team to watch this season. Their quarterback situation is uncertain, with Russell Wilson and Justin Fields vying for the starting position. The Steelers have also strengthened their defense by adding key players such as linebacker Patrick Queen and cornerback Donte Jackson. Furthermore, the offensive line has been upgraded with new talent, offering improved protection and support for the quarterback. With these enhancements, the Steelers could make a strong push in the AFC North.

4. Detroit Lions

The Detroit Lions have methodically constructed a competitive team that could catch many off guard this season. Their impressive draft class and shrewd free-agent acquisitions have addressed several critical areas. The addition of cornerback Terrion Arnold and wide receiver Ricky Pearsall has significantly enhanced both depth and talent on their roster. Under the dynamic leadership of head coach Dan Campbell and with these roster improvements, the Lions are poised to emerge as a potential dark horse contender in the NFC. The team's upgraded defensive and offensive units, combined with Campbell’s intense coaching style, position them as a formidable force that could shake up expectations.

5. Los Angeles Chargers

Despite grappling with salary cap issues, the Los Angeles Chargers have had a highly productive offseason. They excelled in the draft, notably selecting offensive tackle Joe Alt and wide receiver Ladd McConkey, both of whom are expected to make immediate impacts. Additionally, the Chargers made a significant coaching change by hiring Jim Harbaugh as their new head coach. This move, along with the hiring of several new assistant coaches, has brought a fresh perspective and strategic depth to the team. Coupled with a more manageable schedule this season, the Chargers are well-positioned to exceed expectations and potentially surprise many with their performance.

In conclusion, these five NFL teams have strategically bolstered their rosters and coaching staff, setting the stage for potential success in the 2024 season. With new coaching leadership, impactful player acquisitions, and rising stars, each team is positioned to exceed expectations and make waves in the league. But which teams might face setbacks?
