NFL teams' Twitter accounts are obnoxiously excited about the 2017 schedule
Seriously, how did anyone express emotion on the Internet before the invention of the GIF?
If GIFs ceased to exist, the Twitter accounts of NFL teams would take it the hardest, as, to be fair, the league doesn't let them post clips of actual football.

And with the 2017 schedule set to be released at 8 p.m. Thursday, teams around the league shared their excitement in the only way they know how.
The Ravens opted for the dab GIF. Hey, Baltimore, 2016 wants its played-out viral sensation back.
Rise and shine.

Some teams went with classic GIFs to express their excitement (the Jaguars apparently can't wait to find out exactly how they'll end up with another sub-.500 record).

The Lions went with, well, a Lion GIF, because they're called the Lions. Fun.

Even arguably the most entertaining of all NFL Twitter accounts couldn't muster up some originality. Come on, guy who runs the Panthers' account, you use to be a trendsetter!
