NFL: What will Father Christmas bring NFL fans this year?

New stadia or new QBs?

LANDOVER, MD - DECEMBER 20: Santa Claus acknowledges the crowd as the Philadelphia Eagles play the Washington Redskins at FedExField on December 20, 2014 i

It’s Christmas time and everyone’s getting prepared for Father Christmas (well, at least we are here at Sky Sports).

It’s become important for us to note that while a lot of our favourite sports stars will be playing on Christmas Day, the fans deserve everything.

So here is US sports blogger Alex Ferguson’s take on what NFL fans will be hoping for at Christmas... 

Cleveland Browns fans would love to know what a competent quarterback is, because it sure as hell ain’t Brian Hoyer or Johnny Football.

New York Jets fans want a leadership who know how to draft properly.

New York Giants fans should start singing “12 Days of Odell Beckham”, in the same way as Manchester United fans sung “12 Days of Cantona”.

Philadelphia Eagles fans could do with a team that doesn’t choke.

Pittsburgh Steelers fans want to look as damn cool as Mike Tomlin does every week on the sideline. Hell, we all do.

Cincinnati Bengals fans want to give thanks for the tie rule. As bad as the game was to watch on the TV, the tied game is winning them the AFC North right now.

Baltimore Ravens fans don’t want to be asked what they think of Ray Rice anymore. In the same way Minnesota Vikings fans don’t want to be asked about Adrian Peterson. Or Roger Goodell about both.

Tampa Bay Bucs fans want a quarterback who can hit Mike Evans repeatedly (there is one: his name is Marcus Mariota, and he’s going to be the top QB taken in the 2015 NFL Draft. Your move, Glazers).

Jacksonville Jaguars fans deserve a winning trip to Wembley.

Dallas Cowboys fans want to follow Jerry Jones in his quest for world domination and immortality.

Green Bay Packers fans would love to talk to the team about that trip to Buffalo a couple of weeks ago.

Detroit Lions fans would love an offence in the play-offs.

Oakland Raiders fans would love a season over .500.

San Francisco 49ers fans would love this season to end so they can find another coach, because Jim Harbaugh is obviously going to Michigan.

Minnesota Vikings fans would love to be able to draft another Randy Moss to partner Teddy Bridgewater. And an offensive line that doesn’t get Ted shredded.

Denver Broncos fans would love the chance to play that last Super Bowl again. Peyton Manning can’t be that bad again, can he?

Indianapolis Colts fans would like to know if the team is going to actually go on a playoff run, because they sure didn’t look like they would in Dallas on Sunday.

New Orleans Saints fans would love another drink to numb the pain.

Arizona Cardinals fans wish there wasn’t any pain for their two starting quarterbacks.

Kansas City Chiefs fans would love to know where it all went wrong.

Atlanta Falcons fans want to give Roger Goodell or whoever’s on the NFL Play-Off Committee a big, fat hug for allowing poor teams to win a division.

Washington Redskins fans want another owner. The City of LA would like to own a team.

Carolina Panthers fans want this run of form to continue, and Cam Newton never to get hurt again.

Chicago Bears fans would love to find a defence. And maybe a QB other than Jay Cutler.

St Louis Rams fans would love to know if their team is going to get moved again.

Tennesseee Titans fans, who could write a country song about their woes this season, just want a competent quarterback.

San Diego Chargers fans would love the team that completed that comeback against the 49ers to come out to play for 60 minutes, not 30.

Houston Texans fans want to find whoever installs the turf on their stadium, and string ‘em up for causing injury to their own players. Get well soon, Jadeveon Clowney.

Miami Dolphins fans like to show up to a nice stadium. Miami Dolphins players would love to play in front of a full one.

All male New England Patriots fans would also like a wife who looks like Tom Brady’s. All female New England Patriots fans would like a husband who looks like Tom Brady.

Seattle Seahawks fans don’t care, as long as it’s really, really loud with lots of energy.
