No. Once your own team is eliminated then you root against teams that you hate, and you are free to root for teams that you like. None of which should be in your division. There are rules.

REP!
Then you expand to your conference and expand further to hating coaches which is why I find myself pulling for the 49'ers.

I was rooting for the Chiefs and Chargers in the Wild Card round. The way I saw it was, if Denver didn't win it at least someone else in the AFCW would have a chance.

Absolutely. That's the only reason to watch once your team is out of it. I can always find at least one player or coach to root against, and a player or coach to root, for even if I don't care about the teams.

You're ****ing it up. Within the mythology and superstition of fandom, we are fueled by Bronco fans and the hatred of rivals. Get your head in the game, man.

I'll tell ya who I'm against every bit as much as Denver... the Niners... they finally cemented my opinion of them once and for all yesterday.

Between Boldins mouth after every single play, Harbaugh and his tired antics and Krapernick being a total douche... I now officially hate that team, first of all, his mocking of Cams superman thing was classless, leave that to other players, maybe I'm just old fashioned but a QB should be above that kind of stuff. Did you ever see any of the greats do that to another QB? No, you didnt, they were the classy face of their team and as such acted accordingly.

Secondly, his dumb.ass. half backward cap at the presser was pure low brow... is that REALLY what the face of a franchise is supposed to look like? You're right, it isnt... this isnt ****ing high school.

He can wear it and anything else any way he wants any other time, no big deal its his life... but when representing your team to the nation, atleast TRY to not look like some ****ing douchebag guido.

Again, maybe I'm too old fashioned, but I dont think so... I even took exception to Alex several weeks back doing his presser in some untucked lumberjack looking shirt... you're the face of the franchise, man... show some class.

Anyway, **** Krapernick and his dickhead coach and his dumbass team.

Clearly the Donks-Brady's game is going to be most watched moving forward. Manning v Brady, that'll be just awesome to watch!

Yeah, looks like Brady@Manning is going to be a lot more popular than SF@SEA.

Broncos

God, this is the most unappealing SB matchup for me. A lot has to do with the Chiefs bed shitting, but I'm just not into the SB at all this year. I'll watch, but usually it's an all day feast/party with me etc. This year, meh.

And the follow-on super bowl too. If the super bowl ends up being the Seachickens v Donks, I think ratings could suffer at that point.

if Peyton is in it, I hope he has a historic collapse. god that would be glorious

Obviously nobody wants the Donks in the SB, so we're all rooting for NE this weekend.

I hate whiny crybaby Harbaugh and bicep kissing QB-impersonator Krapernick, so I will cheer for Seattle this weekend.

If it were Seattle vs NE, I suppose I'd root for the Seachickens. Especially since they were robbed of a Lombardi by the zebras against the Stealers a few years back.

Whomever is playing Forehead, so this week it's the Patriots.

The *Part Trois* bit in the thread title may send a subliminal signal to vote for the Patriots, which looks very much like that part of the title.

In fact, I'm virtually certain that most of you would be supporting the Broncos if it weren't for that subtle trigger.
