On the Route to the Super Bowl
It started out as a snap--at the coming of the division, everyone knew that the New England Patriots would probably win the Super Bowl. Yes, the Philadelphia Eagles may be a danger, but they get to the Playoff game and give up. But something strange happened this year...
The Eagles in fact made it to the Super Bowl. For Eagles admirers, this was undoubtedly a breakthrough. After years of trying, they in the end arrived at their objective of getting to the Super Bowl. If you make a home anywhere pretty well Philadelphia, you would agree that fan-damonium broadened to a new level. Everywhere you look, all you could find was Eagles merchandise. Fans decorated their cars to the nines with Eagles license plates, tire covers, mud flaps, flags--you name it. Fans even decorated their properties with NFL Merchandise and large inflated Donovan McNabb lawn ornaments.
Patriots fans did the equivalent. They got ready for the colossal game in style, because in their core, they knew the Patriots would end up winning. For their Super Bowl reception, they found New England Patriots snack helmets, Patriots helmet plaques, and flags. Admirers even dolled up their kin in youth uniforms of their admired team.
But, wait! There were more contenders in the course to the Super Bowl. The Pittsburgh Steelers had an astronomical season with their new and accomplished quarterback. Patriots fans understood that they would have to outplay the Steelers in the Super Bowl, but they dropped out in the Playoff game. This was, as supposed, a major defeat for the Steelers devotees. They are hard core spectators, and are commited NFL memorabilia collectors. They await patiently for their team to rise again, but in the interim, they sport their Steelers hard hats with honor.
The additional team that was a direct challenge was the Atlanta Falcons. Not only did they have intimidating defense, but they had decent receivers to take them to the top. No one projected the Falcons to go as far as they did, even their admirers. As the NFC Championship match drew nearer, Falcons fans did anything they could to support their team. They snapped up a NFL apparel they could acquire and discovered football fan faces to use alternatively of messy paint to cheer on their team. They made everything with the Falcons name or team logo into a treasured sports collectible. But, the Falcons fell in the Championship game.
When it came down to the two best teams in the NFL, the fans cheered and the football flew but only one team could take it all. Patriots fans left the game happy, but the Eagles fans were plotting their revenge for the next season. In the end, the players in the NFL are important, but the fans are what carry the power and support for their team. Fans show their support in many ways, but most treasure their NFL Sports Memorabilia above all.
