Campbell is pretty much a cross between Travis Kelce and Bill Cowher who calls plays like he's playing Madden on "too cute" mode, their QB is a SoCal pretty boy who crumbles in big games, and they play in a dome.
Like I said, they and Buffalo currently have that sort of "you are good but you aren't so good we're sick of you" shine on them, sort of the same thing Mahommes and Reid had when the entire country was rooting for them to unseat the Patriots and Brady-era Buccaneers.
That may explain some of their popularity here. When have they ever really caused this team any misery? Kijana's injury, maybe? And that was more a turf issue. Apart from that, not much. Personally, I've been a Detroit fan since the mid-80s, as I've stated numerous times here. I went to many a Thanksgiving Day game at the Silverdome, and many Minnesota games with a buddy who's a Vikings fan. My family contains both Browns and Bengals fans, but we put that aside and cheer together for the Lions. So, my support for them is genuine, just as it is for the Bengals.
Hope that explains my motives, anyway. If not, let me know, I'd rather light a candle than curse your darkness.
