Getting Joe Thomas and Brady Quinn is something they only thought about in their wettest of dreams. But they also got a good DB in Eric Wright (UNLV), and I've heard good things about DE Melila Purcell (Hawaii).
Add to the draft, they signed RB Jamal Lewis, and OL Eric Steinbach and they are looking good. They most certainly upgraded at a lot of positions, and should easily see close to a .500 season this year.

To me there are only 3 teams with die hard fans, by die hard, I mean their persona is wrapped up in their fans. That's of course, Washington, Green Bay, and Cleveland. It's good to see Cleveland making a game of it again.
I think you can add in KC and Denver too. They have great NFL fans in those cities.

There are plenty of cities that love their teams, but very few that live and breathe their teams (ie: Washington, Green Bay, and Cleveland). Denver loves their broncos, no doubt about it, but they also have a very strong love for their Avalanche. K.C. has some great fans, but not those top 3 I already mentioned IMO.

The biggest phonies are Eagles, Cowboys, Giants, and Ravens fans. Those guys only conveniently decide to start liking football when their team is doing well.

Eagles fans are simply the worst. No class at all. But I respect Giants fans. They are good loyal smart NFL fans.

Crazy but true, I have friends that are Cowboys fans and Giants fans, but never have I ever met an Eagles fan that was level headed enough to allow into my company as even an associate.

Eagles fans are absolutely horrible. I can't stand most Cowboys fans, they are annoying. Giants fans I can deal with.

I went to one game at Arrowhead back in the mid 90's. We played KC when Gus was our QB. It was an experience that I will never ever forget. Total college atmosphere. The only thing I could compare it to was RFK. The fans are about as crazy as any place I have ever seen. I could not even hear myself think.

I will say this. Fed Ex is a terrible stadium. It's not like the old days. Way to corporate and way to much of a wine and cheese crowd. RFK was a true home field advantage. It was a shithole but I miss that shithole!
