Indianapolis Colts NFL Watch Parties & Fan Club Events for IND

Posted on by Michael Wang

It has truly been fun watching the Indianapolis Colts pull themselves together right before the playoffs, securing them a spot in the 2019 playoffs. Additionally, Andrew Luck has and will continue to prove to the league why he was the number one pick back in 2012. Even though the Colts are rising in power, their fans have been with them through all the peaks and valleys. Sports Illustrated even predicted them to knock out the Texans in the first round of the playoffs this year. There is a lot of anticipation towards how the Colts will do this postseason, but there is without a doubt that their fans will continue to be rowdy and supportive.

Tennessee Titans NFL Watch Parties & Fan Club Events for TEN

Posted on by Peter Swope

Although many teams have a rich and storied history, few have one as unique as the Tennessee Titans. Like many teams, they have found success over the years. However, unlike many teams, much of their success came under a different name and in a different city.

Before relocating to Tennessee in 1997, the Titans were the Houston Oilers. The Oilers were a successful franchise in their own right, especially prior to the AFL-NFL merger, winning AFL championships in 1960 and 1961. The Titans have reached the playoffs numerous times, with a Super Bowl loss in 2000. Despite a solid season, the Titans narrowly missed the postseason this year. Led by head coach Mike Vrabel and young starts like quarterback Marcus Mariota, running back Derrick Henry, and wide receiver Corey Davis, however, the Titans could be primed to make another deep playoff run soon.

Los Angeles Chargers NFL Watch Parties & Fan Club Events

Posted on by Peter Swope

Relocation is always a difficult process for an NFL team. It is difficult to leave behind a passionate and devoted fan base. The team’s move was initially met with skepticism, as many wondered how the Chargers would fare in a new market. However, there is one surefire way for a team to endure themselves to a new fanbase: winning.

With a strong 12-4 season this year, fan interest in the team has increased, and some of these concerns have lessened. Although the Chargers won an AFL championship in 1963, the team has only reached the Super Bowl once, losing in 1995. Led by a talented roster highlighted by potential Hall of Fame quarterback Philip Rivers, offensive stars like running back Melvin Gordon and wide receiver Keenan Allen, and a fearsome defense led by defensive end Joey Bosa and Derwin James, who was named a first team All Pro as a rookie, the Chargers look primed to take home their first Lombardi Trophy shortly.

For Falcons fans, the 2016 season was a rollercoaster of emotions. MVP Matt Ryan carried a historically good Falcons team to the Super Bowl, and, unfortunately for Falcons fans, everybody remembers the Patriots’ epic comeback. Now two years removed from their Super Bowl run, the Falcons are struggling to replicate that success.

Still, they know what it takes to make it to the big game, and they have the pieces to make the trip back. Falcons fans have been carried along for the ride and are justly hoping that their best days are ahead. And now, in a brand new, 1.2 billion dollar stadium, the Falcons fan experience is better than ever. Falcons fans are looking forward to the future, and, knowing that the 2018 season has plagued their team with injuries, they hope that this is just a bump in the road to victory.

Houston Texans NFL Watch Parties & Fan Club Events for HOU

Posted on by Peter Swope

As the youngest team in the NFL, the Texans haven’t had the same experiences as some older franchises. The team played its first season in 2002, following a hiatus from football in Houston after the Oilers departed after nearly 40 years in the city. However, just because the team doesn’t yet have the history of older franchises doesn’t mean that the Texans are any less relevant or their fans any less passionate.

The Texans have repeatedly made the playoffs in recent years and look like a team to watch this postseason. The team boasts a strong roster stocked with talent, headlined by superstar defensive end JJ Watt, marquee wide receiver DeAndre Hopkins, and electric young quarterback Deshaun Watson. Houston has embraced its new team over the last 20 years, but this could be the season when they are finally rewarded with a Lombardi Trophy?

Cleveland Browns NFL Watch Parties & Fan Club Events for CLE

Posted on by Peter Swope

How does a fanbase respond to a 1-31 stretch, including an 0-16 season? Those who are truly passionate about their team stick with them, knowing that better times will come soon. This makes the Browns fanbase one of the best in the NFL. Browns fans have always stuck with their team, through good times and through bad. Even during a difficult two-year stretch for the team, the passion of Browns fans never waned. The Dawg Pound at FirstEnergy Stadium always has the same rowdy, intense energy, win or lose. The team’s difficult stretch, however, appears to be over. It looks likely that Browns fans are soon to be rewarded for their patience with a young roster that may well become a perennial contender.

Baltimore Ravens NFL Watch Parties & Fan Club Events for BAL

Posted on by Michael Wang

As the second newest NFL organization, behind the Texans, the Baltimore Ravens have consistently been one of the top teams across the league. Since their opening season in 1996, the Ravens have already won two Super Bowl titles in 2001 and 2013. Additionally, they do not fail to produce Hall of Fame players and stun the league with their ever-so threatening defense. This year, the Ravens are stacked with talent in the quarterback position with Super Bowl champion Joe Flacco, newly drafted Lamar Jackson, and Robert Griffin III. It is very clear as to why the Ravens have a good chance at making a strong push to make the playoffs this year.
