The Titans weren’t an expansion team. They’re the relocated Houston Oilers.

The Titans aren’t an expansion team. They’ve been around as long as the Raiders and six years longer than the Dolphins (as the Oilers).

ETA: beaten to punch.

No, but I have been paying attention to 40 seasons before this season – including ones where they started 3-0.

Go Pack Go!!  
(although I am also a big big dolphins fan, and given they don’t have any votes I’d vote for them)

I voted for the Patriots, whom I’ve cheered for all my life; but if I’d known that my adopted-home Titans were still at 0 I would have thrown them a pity vote.

Raiders, I can’t help it. I was raised on the Raiders and they are still the team that I get most excited about. No matter how hard I try I can’t get myself as invested in any other team.

The Packers? Huh. I didn’t see that coming. We’ve got a bounty of NFC North team-followers here. I really would have thought that the NFC East would be getting the attention. It’s to the point where I just don’t think they’re all counted yet.

Steelers!

As a kid I liked the Bengals’ tiger stripes-but no more.

I’ll admit to an inexplicable soft spot for the Seahawks-they’re my second team.
