Playoff bandwagons

[Inqui]

Well, it's officially over for us. We probably didn't deserve to make the playoffs with how hopeless our offence was, but we as fans are now faced with the prospect of either finding a bandwagon to jump on during the playoffs, or sticking to the NBA.

 

So, which team(s) are you hitching to for the next month?

 

For me, I'm following the NFC. I think the Seahawks deserve a Lombardi, and I quite like what the Panthers have managed to do this season. But as long as those 9ers aren't playing in New York, I'm probably gunning for the NFC representative in the Super Bowl.

 

Assuming the Steelers don't make it, I'm basically rooting against three AFC teams (I know, sucks to be me):

*I hate the Patriots, especially after last week. Pats here and one person I know IRL excluded, I find their fans obnoxious and generally unbearable and I just hate the team.

*I also want the Broncos to lose. Peyton I don't mind as much, but I hate watching their receivers act like star QBs on every single play. And I'm sick of their fans

*And what Ravens fan doesn't want the Bengals to lose their first game in the playoffs again? It won't put us in the playoffs and it won't help our draft status, but it sure as hell will make me feel better.

 

So yeah, go the Chiefs, Colts or Chargers.

 

Anyway, who's your pet team for the next month? Or are you giving up on the NFL until the draft?

[A Fish Called Yanda]

AFC: No one deserves my support.

 

NFC: Panthers

[T3hRaven]

I'm rooting for the Seahawks now.  They're kinda my NFC team.

[Pats]

well since I dont believe my pats can win it all i'm sticking with the hawks for the NFC and for whoever they face in the superbowl. I just like seattle they are a great team with an awesome stadium, also I hope the cards make the playoffs and they do well.

[berad]

Don't have one yet. Maybe the Eagles if they get in? Not sure

Because it's ok for their supporters to boo them?

Don't believe me, watch one of his press conferences.  He's one of the fastest talking guys I've ever seen.

[Guest Im An Ozzie Newsome Guy]

I guess I'll pick the Chargers and Panthers. After all, the Chargers represent the "1st team to play the Eagles at home" streak, while the Panthers represent that other streak (someone here posted after Carolina beat New England, a couple of weeks back).

 

That Super Bowl is going to be like "what happens when an unstoppable force meets an immovable object"!

[Gordo52]

I'm rooting for Packers.

I still have an uneasy feeling the Patriots win somehow.

It would be nice to see Peyton add another even though I hate him and that fan base.

NE,SF,GB,INDY or Denver.

I believe 1 of those 5 will win. In order....

Seattles too much of a favorite. I like going against the grain even though they're the best roster. I wouldn't be surprised to them win though.

Watch out for the Steelers!!!

So he's almost a cliche'? Fast-break offense, no-huddle press conferences? LOL

To be honest, I thought he would flat-out fail in the league with the hype he received but he's got the Eagles primed for a playoff spot.

[runamuk]

I am torn between the panthers and seahawks . I do not want the niners in it at all

He really is, it's quite comical.

 

Kelly is one of the most fascinating coaches in the NFL IMO.  Everyone thought he was going to reinvent the wheel, but he didn't really.  His route combos and a lot of other aspects of his so called offense changed when he came into the league into typical NFL routes combos.  He's still using speed, but in a slightly different way from other no huddles.  He's getting defenses to second guess themselves and slow down their reactions.  Other teams are running up tempo, but Kelly's managed to utilize that and tweak it just a bit.  But then again, Belichick kinda brought that into the league and based a lot of that 2007 spread on Kelly's offense.  And most of his QB decision making happens after the snap instead of before the snap like Brady and Manning.  He's smart enough to realize how things work, and I respect how he looks at the 'problem' differently.  It's certainly something to be admired in a coach.  I will never like the Eagles, I will never support the Eagles, but I do like Chip Kelly.

[runamuk]

afc no one esp not broncos . I would say chiefs but I just don't see it happening

[K-Dog]

Denver.

I am a Peyton fan

[Cville-Raven]

The steelers....yeah that's right

[cursona pirate]

I dont want anyone to go for the AFC. I guess the Chargers. Go Panthers and Seahawks. Panthers for my brother. Seahawks for my cousins.

[GrimCoconut]

Same but not necessarily for the same reason. I just want to see Rivers get his even though I don't like him as as guy. I also hate them and the Panthers the least of all the teams left.

[Inqui]

One question I hope I don't have to answer (but probably will) is who I'd be rooting for in an AFCCG between any two of Denver/NE/Cincy. I'd probably cheer for the three in that order, but has anyone figured out how I can go for neither? Hoping the Bengals edge through but with a season-ending AJ Green injury or something?

[Jokerraven]

I would go cincy  if I had to pick a team . I don't like the patriots and I rather see anyone even the steelers over the broncos. nfc saints or seahawks love defense that has swag

[Raving_Heathen]

I'm not sure where all this Broncos hate on this forum comes from. I've never found Broncos fans obnoxious (definitely not like the Steelers), and Ravens have always had lots of success against them. The last 2 SBs the Ravens won, they had to go through the Broncos, so I can understand Broncos fans disliking the Ravens though.

 

I also wouldn't mind if the Bengals won it all. Their poor fanbase deserves something lol. I guess my only problem with that would be that Andy Dalton would become even more overrated than he is now.

 

The only team I absolutely don't want winning anything are the Steelers.

 

Would love it if the 49ers won it all because of Q. Back to back SB rings for him would be awesome.

I can get on that bandwagon.

Chargers and Panthers.

[MissK528]

Chargers (gotta go with the team that knocked the Steelers out) and Green Bay or New Orleans, who I like anyway.

[JO_75]

For me, it would be the 49ers. If John can't win it, then I like to see Jim do it. Keep the Lombardi trophy within the Harbaugh family.

I was conflicted on this one. I don't necessarily mind the 49ers, but Jim's constant freak-outs on the sideline, along with Kaep's ego and all the whining after they lost the Super Bowl make me annoyed, at least. 

[bpytnjr58]

Seahawks vs Chargers.  The last few years the Super Bowl Champs have had to play a game in Philly's home opener so the Chargers will win the Super Bowl!
