2nd Favorite Playoff Team


Bing Bong

Recommended Posts

Every year I always have a soft spot for dark horse candidates during the drought to pretend like I have a team :( . All time favorite: 2007 NY Giants.

 

Who do you like this year? Bills of course, but I've actually been a fan of Jags and Rams all year. Refreshing to see these teams playing in playoffs.

 

Least favorite? Always Chiefs (unless we count Pats).. how the heck do they always latch onto the playoffs. Tired of seeing their uninspiring play.

Because they have a very good Coaching Staff.

the Saints have been pretty impressive.  Watching their one-two punch on the ground with Brees over the top, they would be my pick from the NFC to take down the Pats** in the SB if it came to that.  

Agree - I think they have just the right components to derail a Pats* SB victory. (Not sure they're representing)

 

I'd like to say the Vikes too......but Case Keenum. Should he be trusted? If he performs in these playoffs like he has in the regular season...They may be the team.

I live in LA and was a Ram fan when I was a kid before I became a Bills fan in 1988.  So for me its easily the Rams and will be cheering for them in the playoffs to win the SB unless the Bills make it of course.

 

Outside my 2 teams, in the NFC I do think the Saints are a cool story too and think someone like Brees deserves another serious SB run.  And in the AFC I think the Chiefs would make a cool story too getting to the SB if the Bills dont come out of the AFC.  

 

I have always loved watching Antonio Brown play so wouldn't hate seeing them make it to the SB if the Bills dont.

Though I kind of like John Lynch, and liked the 49ers as a kid. They will get it together before too long (they have a QB and a TON of cap space), and I will circle the wagons hoping for a Bills vs 49ers SB some day.

This.  I genuinely get excited rooting for whoever is playing NE.


I hate most teams in the NFL...almost all of them.

 

And there there is Green Bay, a team for some reason I like, cheer for, and consider my "second team."

 

Everyone else can F off.

My 2nd fave team is not in the playoffs (Packers).  If the Bills don't make it to the SB then I hope the Vikes win it but wouldn't shock me if the Rams did.  The AFC will be represented by the Steelers if we don't make it there.  Pats are overrated; they should've lost the PItt game.

Ironically I've always had the Ravens as my adopted team during the drought. I did like the Giants when they went on their unexpected SB runs as well. This year I'd say it's the Vikings. Just would kind of like seeing a team " host " a Super Bowl .

It's a process of elimination for me: Top 10 most hated teams in the playoffs:

 

1. Pats: die you gravy-sucking pigs

2. Chiefs: we have their 1st rounder

3. Jaguars: Marrone and to a lesser extent Dareus

4. Rams: Sammy, F'n crazy man and I'm jealous they turned it around so quickly

5. Panthers: no love for Cam, keep him off the podium

6. 7. 8. Eagles, Titans, Vikings: nothin I particularly like or hate about any of them

9. Falcons: make it this far purely out of pity from last year. 

10. Steelers: I like Tomlin, but they've won enough

 

 

So if it's not the Bills its the Saints for me. I have a guy I worked with for 3-4 months in the mid 90's who is a big Saints fan. Cool guy, lived through the Aints, we still stay in touch even though I haven't seen him 20+ years.

 

But  really, eff em all. Go Bills!

If the Bills beat the Jags, it will be the Bills.

 

For me, it's a matter of ABCs - Anybody But Cheatriots

Rams and Vikings. 

 

Same here.

 

If it wasn't for Sam Watkins being a Ram, I'd be all in on them (after Buffalo, of course).  I'm a huge Robert Woods fan and I love what McVay has done to turn the culture of that team around.  

 

I also think the Keenum story is a great one and I love Minnesota's defense.

It varies season to season depending on the players on other teams. For example, it is a lot easier to like the Bengals when Burfict isn't on the news, while Dalton is one of the most likable people in the league.

 

Probably San Diego, Detroit, Cleveland, Minnesota. Teams I believe (and could be wrong) are most similar to us, that I feel are underdogs.

Anyone playing the pats or “stillers” the 2 most self righteous fan bases I’ve ever encountered. 

 

They literally act as though the teams and fans existence is doing the nfl and America a favor. 

This. I don’t have a 2nd favorite team
