The Alex Smith trade got me thinking about how different NFL franchises seem to have a philosophy they don't change from much through time and some seem to just be luckier than others.
Not all franchises have a firm reputation, and recent success has an effect on our thoughts, but what do you see as the modus operandi and/or reputation of the NFL franchises?
I'll edit as we get shared opinions. My initial thoughts are listed:
Arizona Cardinals
Atlanta Falcons
Baltimore Ravens - Solid defense and running game
Buffalo Bills - Canada's Team
Carolina Panthershttp://www.pro-football-reference.com/teams/chi/
http://www.pro-football-reference.com/teams/chi/Chicago Bears - DEFENSE! DA BEARS, great passionate fanshttp://www.pro-football-reference.com/teams/cin/
