Every team has some fans who think they know more than all of the coaches. Every team has some guy on the bench who many fans think is the greatest thing since sliced bread. Every team has fans who swear "This is the year!!". And, most of all, every team has fans who claim there OC is too predictable.
What NFL team is close to where you live and what "vast differences" have you seen?
I live in Western PA, somewhere between Pittsburgh and Cleveland.
A "down year" to Steelers fans is when they go 8-8. Some other fanbases wouldn't consider that as terrible as most Steelers fans do because in Pittsburgh, they're used to being better than that.
A "good year" to Browns fans is when they don't implode and can laugh at the Raiders or Jaguars instead of the entire NFL pointing a finger at them.
Have Bengals fans spent the last decade calling 8-8 seasons a "down year"?? Do Bengals fans consider winning between 4-7 games to be a bright future ahead??
Hence the reason I said the general perspective.
I agree with all of the things you said about the different portions of the fanbase, every team has those in every sport. That's not what I was talking about though. As far as your jab about my thoughts of Bratkowski, I just wasn't a huge fan of his, even going back and watching the games from 5-10 years ago his playcalling didn't impress me. I'm not a big fan of Hue either, but I did like Jay Gruden. That may be surprising as he was probably more hated in JN than Brat was when he was around. Gruden got blamed for EVERYTHING, but the dude was actually a solid coordinator IMO.
