Who will you root for now in the playoffs? - Page 4

Andoverer · 01-08-2007, 09:53 AM

I suppose New Orleans. I'm not done fuming though.

InChiefsHeaven · 01-08-2007, 01:07 PM

I want to see Saints vs. Chargers and may the best team win. I dont' hate the Chargers, especially in post season when we are out of the hunt, and my second team has always been New Orleans. Plus the Brees vs Rivers angle will be interesting. I DON'T want to see Seattle or the Iggles in at all, cuz I hate them.

**Predarat** · 01-08-2007, 02:47 PM

I guess the Saints but I think the Ravens will win.

**Nzoner** · 01-08-2007, 06:56 PM

I was going to root for the Chargers but seeing that i didn't get any Charger players in my postseason fantasy league I'll be cheering in this order

Patriots
Ravens
Bears

**Rain Man** · 01-08-2007, 07:01 PM

In descending order:

New Orleans
Chicago
Seattle
Philadelphia
New England
Baltimore
Indianapolis
San Diego

Marty can win it all
the only thing Carl ever did right was drafting Derrick Thomas and hiring Marty and now Carl should swallow the barrel he is a no good bum!

I'm rooting for Marty and the Bolts, but as long as Indy doesn't win, I don't really care!

You are a closet NFC fan.

I am soooooooooooo sick of the Charger hipe here in Sandy Eggo. Sour Grapes I guess. I hope they are one and done in the playoffs. The Bandwagoning fans need to know how painfull it is to have the best record and then falling flat on thier face in their first playoff game.

Fairplay · 01-09-2007, 10:20 AM

Im rooting for the Patriots. I know, they have been there before.

Still i like them because they play like they want to win the game.
Its not some standard speech given to them like one coach i know, only for the players to shrug it off later and say 'whatever'.
Apparently the players buy into what the coachs are selling them so they must be doing something right.

Belichick has good gameplans geared toward the team they are playing.

I wish the chiefs could be like them.

Honestly, if the Pats can't close the deal, then I'm basically on the "anyone but Colts or Seahawks" bandwagon.

I don't dislike the Seahawks, but the Pats have their first round pick, and I don't want to see it drop to 31 or 32.

I'm really looking forward to this weekend's matchup. I hope Brady shoves a lightning bolt up their ass.

you must not have watched them sleepwalk at home against the Donks to the tune of 7-17. And how about getting shut out by the Phins 0-21 a few weeks ago?

Unlike some in the media, we Patriots fans know that our coach is fallible, as it the team. Belichick can be outcoached on occasion, and the team can be outplayed on occasion. It happens.

Doesn't happen very often, especially in the playoffs, but it happens.

I watched the denver game. I wasn't a matter of you being outcoached. Your team walked around like zombies. Much like our game against the Steelers. They weren't necessarily outcoached. They were unmotivated.

Agreed. Kind of like the opener against Buffalo in 2003 (Buffalo won 31-0).

Belichick tries to bring the team along slowly, so that they're peaking at the end of the year. Sometimes that results in games where the level of effort doesn't match that of the opponents; that will almost always get you beat in the NFL.
