NFL Teams As Movies

On Wednesday afternoon, we took to Twitter to ask you a very important question: If NFL teams were movies, which movies would they be and why? You certainly did not disappoint, firing back with some truly hilarious and poignant answers. Below the jump is our roundup of the very best thoughts and responses ... one for each team. Keep it rolling in the comments, if you like.

@sbnation 49ers are Batman Begins. Great franchise, became a joke, being brought back, but not Dark Knight yet.

@sbnation The Eagles are the Royal Tenenbaums. A family that once had so much promise

I was going to say the 2012 Dolphins are "The Replacements" but that movie is actually entertaining.

@sbnation the Cowboys r the new Star Wars trilogy. Franchise owner tries to recreate magic of previous decades but pisses off fans

— Eric Hise (@eric_hise) September 12, 2012

@sbnation The Titans are "The Sixth Sense"... turns out they were dead the whole time.

— Krister Johnson (@KristerJohnson) September 12, 2012

@sbnation The Steelers are Inception. They start out good, end with a bang. That bang being confusion and frustration.

— Thomas Gallagher (@Thomhj) September 12, 2012

The Panthers are "The Dark Knight." One transcendent performance validates the entire enterprise.

@sbnation The Chargers are Snakes on a Plane.

— Bolts From The Blue (@BFTB_Chargers) September 12, 2012

The Seahawks are "Singles." Not because of Seattle, but because nobody has seen either one in 20 years.

— SB Nation (@sbnation) September 12, 2012

@sbnation The Browns are Total Recall- everyone liked the old one better.

— Brandon Armstrong (@chubs_kgun) September 12, 2012

@sbnation The Bills would be Groundhog Day. It's been the same story for the last 13 years.

— Jason Fair (@TheSportsGuyOfX) September 12, 2012

@sbnation the bears are Brian's Song. The season starts off so promising and everyone ends up crying at the end.

— Kevin Glueck (@therealkevin_g) September 12, 2012

@sbnation The current Patriots are any Oliver Stone movie over the past 15 years. Over the top, full of talent and ultimately disappointing.

— Alan Siegel (@AlanSiegelDC) September 12, 2012

@sbnation The Ravens are Carrie. Joe Flacco is getting ready to burn the gym down. Lee Evans was Carrie's mom.

— jamestag (@jjtolliver) September 12, 2012

Also, Wolfman has nards. RT @alfiebcc: The Jaguars are Monster Squad. Awesome when you see it, but then you can never find it again

— SB Nation (@sbnation) September 12, 2012

@sbnation The Raiders = The Mist. "Hey Carson, I'm open over here in this patch of fog and NOOOOOOOO NOT MY FACE!!!!!"

— Lance Davis (@adioslounge) September 12, 2012

@sbnation The Chiefs are Monty Python's Quest for the Holy Grail because they're funny to watch and yet it always seems to end quickly.

— Corey Anglemyer (@canglem) September 12, 2012

When questioned about which team would best represent "Tombstone":

@sbnation The Giants. And Eli is Wyatt Earp in the scene where he wades through the river screaming "NO" and shooting people.

— The Daily Norseman (@DailyNorseman) September 12, 2012

@sbnation The Jets (Mark Sanchez) would be "He's Just Not That Into You."

— Shawn Borin (@bgpappa) September 12, 2012

@sbnation The Vikings are Major League. Adrian Peterson of course being Willie Mays Hays.

— efonsecajr (@efonsecajr) September 12, 2012

And finally, when asking which film best represented the Titans:

@sbnation Too soon to suggest "Hurt Locker?"

— John Barrie (@vlazuvius) September 12, 2012
