Who are you rooting for this weekend...

[b8rtm8nn]

All-West title games! Chiefs, Broncos, Cards, and do you need to ask?

Ditto - I picked the Panthers to win, but I want the Seahawks to win

Yeah, right. Careful what you wish for...

Quoted for posterity.

If I ever got what I wished for in football, the Cardinals would have Lombardi trophies under such specimens as Kevin Kolb and John Skeleton (and of course, Kurt Warner). Everyone of this board would hate the Cardinals because we somehow catch fire in the playoffs and take mediocre rosters and backup QBs to the Superbowl on a regular basis.

But life doesn't work that way for me, you should be hoping I'll be rooting for the Panthers, because if I hang with some 12's Sunday (and there are a LOT of them down here in Tucson), my bad luck charm will start having it's impact and to your horror, you will be reliving Dabber Cam highlights endlessly for the next week.

As long as the Seahawks lose, I'll be happy. Don't understand how people root for division rivals.

Would love for Arizona to lose, but I don't even see how it's possible.

Same for the Patriots.

Broncos to beat the Steelers.


My dream scenario would be:

Packers vs. Panthers and Broncos vs. Chiefs

 

[Trenchbroom]

Stealers, Pats, Packers all need to lose.

 

[Maulbert]

Anyone notice a trend?

Hawks fans: BRING IT ON!
Everyone else: Hawks need to lose.

I feel the exact same about the Cardinals and Patriots...difference is I don't expect either team could lose this week, whereas the Seahawks are underdogs.

An asteroid to plummet to earth and strike Sports Authority Field.

My picks are Pats, Stealers, & Cards.

I'm rooting for KC, because I wouldn't mind another winning another ring against our old AFC West Division rivals.

Pittsburgh, even though I don't think they'll do it, I'd like to beat the living tar out of them in 50 to forever wash away the memory of 40.

Arizona, just because I really don't want to hear about the NFC championship game from last year if we have to face the Packers.

 

[NINEster]

not who you think will win. For me:

KC....always have liked them and NE cheats.

Denver...don't like the Donkos, but hate no one more than the stealers.

AZ.....because like kearly said if they win, no weather worries if the Hawks advance.

Hawks (duh!)

I'm with you 3 out of 4.

 

[WilsonMVP]

Pats

Pitt

Hawks


I'm hungry for a rematch.


That being said, I don't have a strong preference on any of the non-Seahawk match ups.

Beating a healthy Rodgers, in Green Bay, in January would be epic. It's one of those things that the Hawks and Russ need to do to cement their legacies. But, it means we have to put up with another year of listening to Tard fans claiming they weren't really trying to win in January. We can save beating Erin in Green Bay in January for another year.

Taking down Pittsburgh on the biggest stage heals some wounds, although we would be subjects to endless reruns of XL* and the officiating concerns, but Donks as a rematch is pretty ho hum, been there done that. It's almost certainly the last chance to take down Manning again though.

I really despise the thought of the Pats in yet another Superb Owl, and I like Reid. But, there is only one way we are ever going to get the chance for revenge against Beli/ Brady and that is if they make it back there.

Its shame we didnt beat the Pats and Brady last year because this year we could be cheering to take on the Steelers and Big Ben in order to complete the hat trick of beating the best 3 QBs in the AFC for 10 years + in Manning, Brady, and Big Ben

 

[NINEster]

Did you guys kill Ringless? Where is he?

Dunno. He's been MIA for a couple of weeks now.

Preparing for the storm that will be there next week.

I don't understand, the Cards have the #2 seed.

:mrgreen:

 

[WilsonMVP]

For those who believe in conspiracies I suppose getting one last Manning Brady rematch would be high on the NFL's wish list.

Brady/Manning rematch and then a superbowl match of either of the last 2 years would also be pretty good IMO. If it was the Bronocs you know they are still looking for revenge on that butt whipping

 

[ptisme]

Hoping for a Seahawks Packers NFCCG at the frozen Tundra... Then a Brady/Rodgers SB....

 

[IndyHawk]

Seattle
Arizona
New England
Pittsburgh

If Seattle is going to make a run, might as well take the revenge angle.

My thinking as well but part of me really wants to kill the Packers off.

Agreed. It will be the wildcard bowl.

The only place Rodgers is going is home to his couch to watch the rest play out.

I'm in complete agreement right down the line. Thing is not one of those picks should be considered an upset. Kansas City has the pass rush to kill Brady. Pittsburgh is just done and Green Bay isn't far behind. And Carolina? They are worst 15-1 team in history and payback is coming and the bill isn't small.

 

[Seanhawk]

I never root for another team in the playoffs. Because if they meet the Hawks, and beat the Hawks, I would have rooted for the team that beat the Hawks.

Yeah, it's the whole careful what you wish for sentiment.
