DawgTalkers.net Forums The Archives 2014 NFL Season The NFL Post Season 2014 Who are you rooting for?

I know a percentage of the board couldn't give a crap about the playoffs because the Browns aren't in them...

But for those of you who do.. Who are you rooting for? Not who do you think is going to win, who do you WANT to win?

With Pitt and Cincy gone, that eases me a bit on the AFC side.. Now I just need whomever wins the NE/BAL game to lose the AFC championship, and I'll be "ok" with whomever comes out on that side..

I can root for Manning, even though Denver, and would probably prefer them over Indy.. Because I don't like how they've gone about a few things..

And honestly am jealous that they are good forever.. have ONE BAD YEAR.. just in time to lock up another long time QB..

On the NFC side as long as Dallas loses I'll be ok with anyone that comes out.. I respect the hell out of Seattle, and hope we are building that kind of team..

Half of my family is from Wisconsin, so it's easy for me to root for them.. I might root for Carolina just because they were 7-8-1 and the further they go the more hilarious it gets..

My worst fear when the playoffs started was Pitt vs. Dallas. That's half gone, and should be completely, but mostly I'm just trying to get a Superbowl matchup I can sit and enjoy and not have to root against anyone..

I'd be alright with a Manning/Rodgers or Brady/Rodgers shoot out for all the marbles. But, I don't hate Seattle (although I loathe Pete Carroll).

I hope the Ratbirds and the Cowgirls lose. If that happens this week or the next, I'll enjoy watching the rest of it.

But, if those two teams end up in the Super Bowl? Eeeewwww

I want seattle and Dallas to win.

That rematch for winner takes all this season is gonna be something epic.

And I want Indy and NE to win.

It's not gonna matter honestly who comes out the AFC this year. Looks like seattles D is back to form. It could get ugly again.

Green Bay/New England


Green Bay wins it all!!!!!!!!

As long as Baltimore loses, I'm good.

I would like Indy to lose too, because they are the team that set in motion the events that caused Modell to move the Browns to Baltimore ..... but the Colts winning and Ravens losing might twist up the "kind" folks from Baltimore .... so that's never a bad thing. lol

As a former season ticket holder (well officially I am still, but a friend has been getting them for years under my name), I want Seattle to win it all. If not Seattle, in the NFC it is anyone but Dallas and in the AFC the Colts.

I'm glad I'm not in that percentage... There's not enough football for me.. and to miss the best part of the game because the team I root for has sucked for years...




I'm rooting for the Colts.. I've never been a Manning fan or Denver fan.. But what was it the Colts did that you don't agree with ?


I'm rooting for Carolina ...I would like to see Cam Newton get a shot at the Ring...

I hate that Green Bay can go from Favre to Rodgers..

That the Colts go from Manning, have one bad year, and get Luck..

It's just.. not.. fair..

no I guess not... lol... I guess that's our Luck. we got Trent Richardson and Weeden ..

Gonna root for Green Bay and New England, and Green Bay to win it all, but if Seattle wins that would be fine as the best defense wins again.

I'm rooting for Baltimore to lose and if i have to pick a Super bowl winner I'd like to see Peyton Manning get his second ring... then retire.

I have jumped pn the packers bandwagon. Honestly, as long as the broncos or ravens don't win, I'm happy.

Rooting against Baltimore
Rooting against Denver

Rooting for Seattle
Rooting for GB

against Baltimore the rest who gives a rats

I would love to see Manning get another Super Bowl. I hate that it's with Denver, but another Super Bowl will cement his legacy.

I would love to see Brady get another one.

Then Rodgers.

Then Wilson.

In that order.

Luck's day will come. I'm just not rooting for it right now.

I've always liked Romo. I'm probably in the minority on that. But I don't particularly root for him to win it all.

I am glad that the Ravens beat Pitt. Now I'd be happy if they were eliminated. Unfortunately, I believe they'll beat NE.

Carolina is a team I could absolutely care less about. They could leave the NFL for all I care. Move 'em to London or Mexico or Toronto. Who cares? I can't think of a more bland franchise.

At this point for me the AFC is a list of teams I hate. I guess I'll root for Manning to win it, but I doubt they will.

The NFC is tough for me as well. I don't like Seattle for some reason, and I definitely don't want Dallas.

So by default I guess I'd want Denver/Green Bay in the Super Bowl

Green Bay. Aaron Rodgers is great and one cool guy.

That's exactly where I'm at. And I'll win 40 bucks if the Packers and the Pats make the Super Bowl.

Dallas. Beyond that I don't care. Mostly I just want to see good games and not blowouts.

We share the same views on this subject.

This is hard to fathom, but I think I might want Dallas to lose even more than Baltimore.

Uhmmm, maybe not........but, it's close.

I will be cheering for the Panthers and Colts. Panthers cause they were the team noone wanted to get in and the Colts because of Mike Adams, DQ, Richardson.

Seahawks or Packers

The order in which I'd like teams to win it:

1. Packers
2. Broncos
3. Colts
4. Panthers
5. Patriots
6. Cowboys
7. Seahawks
8. Ravens

Seattle has a chance to win back-to-back titles, and their QB would still be slated to make less than a million dollars next year.

I haven't seen such a shrewd acquisition of a roster in a long time.

j/c

Would like to see Peyton win another one before he retires. I would hate to see Eli end up w/ more than his older brother.

IT's all pretty meaningless to me at this point. The next game I'll watch is the Superbowl...

yeah, dallas is a close second to me also ( to lose),but then i live in Dallas and have to put up with all their crap.

I have never seen a dDallas win yet that wasnt a for shadow of the super bowl or a loss that was not the fault of the refs

I won't mind if the Seahawks or Packers win the Super Bowl.

Next on my "least offensive" list would be Panthers, Cowboys, and Patriots.

I will never root for the Broncos to win anything.

The Colts are carpetbaggers.

The Ravens are carpetbaggers who screwed the people of Cleveland.

The only team out of the AFC that I would be OK with would be the Patriots.

I would be fine with the Pack, Seahawks, or Panthers in the NFC.

I'll never understand how Browns fans can cheer on the Packers. They're essentially the Steelers of the NFC North. Yes, they're a blue collar town like Cleveland, but they win all the time, hit with all their draft picks, and they're just as arrogant as Pittsburgh fans, if not more.

I can't and won't root for the Packers, ever.

Of the remaining teams left, here's my list:

1. Panthers - because nobody is giving them a chance and they're in the NFC.
2. Cowboys - despite them being "America's team", they've had a rough decade and Romo deserves a deep playoff push, even though the lucky calls they had against the Lions sicken me.
3. Seahawks - Their bandwagon fanbase is a little annoying but Russell Wilson seems like a good guy and Seattle is a cool.
4. Colts - I'm still ticked at how lucky they are with getting Manning and then Luck....AND how we lost to them this year.
5. Patriots - While I like Brady, I can't stand Boston teams.
6. Broncos - Screw the Broncos forever.
7. Packers - I already stated my opinion about them above.
8. Ravens - Never, ever root for a team within the division.

I suppose the numbering is really 1, 8a, 8b, 8c, 8d, 8e, 8f, & 8g.

I'm sort of rooting for the Cowboys because I don't want the Steelers alone at the top of most Superbowls won list. 49ers could have helped us out, but they lost to the Ravens and now I have to hate them forever (sorry, Jerry Rice).

I would like New England or Denver to win so one of the all time great QBs could get more rings.

Carolina would be a fun story, although they would be one more franchise to win one before us.

But honestly, ANYONE BUT BALTIMORE

New England
Dallas
Carolina
Indy

4 of my favorite QBs in the league.

Hate Baltimore
Hate Aaron Rodgers
Seattle won last year
Hate Peyton Manning

Not THAT close. The only time I root for Dallas is when they
play baltimore.

I've thoroughly disliked dallas ever since they claimed or were
given the title "america's team." Even when Roger Staubach
played and I'm ex-Navy.
The owners of the Colts moved the team in the heat of the
night to Indy. Setting the example for model (my spell checker
did NOT correct my spelling)

I'd like to see the Pat's and the Seahawk's go at it again.

I'm in a playoff pool with five others and we each took 2 teams. I drafted 5th and 7th and took Dallas and Indy. So I'm rooting for either - although I hate the cowboys and don't like Indy. Otherwise I'd root for GB.

LOL man.........not dogging you, but that made absolutely no sense.

I enjoy watching Aaron Rodgers, so I'll root for GB. I absolutely despise Dallas, so that seals that deal.

Seattle vs. Carolina, don't really care one way or the other.

I lost a lot of my hatred for the Ravens after Modell kicked it, so even though they're a division rival, I don't really care much about that game, either.

I'm a big D'Qwell Jackson fan, and I've always liked Cribbs, so I'll probably root for Indy there.

I'm with you here. But (as we all know), no one looks at those two and hesitates to take Peyton over Eli.

As for who I'm rooting for, just as long as the Ravens don't make it…I'm fine.

I want Seattle vs Denver Pt. II

The Seahawks need to absolutely destroy Manning, again. I've never liked him.

It's how I feel. I loved seeing Manning get destroyed last year.

If I see one more blatant officiating hose job like the Lions got vs. the cowboys, I'm right there with you.
