The NFC & AFC South's Reaction to Week 18 (Finale)

Tom as a Titans fan I feel us and the Packers are linked. Both just missed SB54, both were the 1st seed last year, both lost our WR1 last off-season and now both missed the playoffs in week 18 to our cat divisional rivals 20-16. Who knows where this leads but hopefully it's SB battle. I really thought it would happen in the 2019 season.

[@joshuahuffman5761]

As someone who was raised in the upper peninsula as a Packers fan and spent nearly all my adult years in Tennessee growing fond of the Titans (outside of a few months in Neenah WI during a sports internship), this post rings true to me lol.

I wouldn't think so. Toms' name being mentioned just is a teaser for Coach where he IS a character. Danny finding the ash tray might lead to a way where he realizes that he's just a character in the crawlspace. This is similar to when Fredrick (Bills Fan in East saga) noticed there was Packer stuff everywhere

[@martsimba]

[@Doommaster677]

Tom IS the Packers fan though, wouldn't make much sense to have a different character wearing the Packers jersey

I think the best part about Oliver, and what makes him so unbelievably likable is that he's PURE. Not naive, or unaware, but he's pure. He reacts genuinely a lot of the time, and he reacts with kindness when applicable. It's the compassion, and love, and genuine concern Oliver has shown for members of the house that makes him so goddamn likable.

If North is next season, I gotta speculate on character names. Ben (Steelers) Ray (Ravens) Paul (Bengals) and Bernie (Browns) Brett (Packers) Barry (Lions) Mike (Bears) and Randy (Vikings) Just my wild guesses.

[@markangelocalica1478]

All NFC characters are already established: -Tom Himself will be the Packers' Fan -Tohm is his nemesis in Vikings' Fan -Chomas is the little brother Lions' Fan -Ditka is the Enigmatic Bears' Fan. Only the AFC still don't have their name, but those are the Characters: -Steelers' Fan has a Companion in Blood Demon -Ravens' Fan is literally Batman with deep voice -Brother of him is a Browns fan and also a dentist -Raven's Child is a Bengals fan (aka the "Kitty goes meow" Monarch)
