ProcessTheTrust Posted January 8, 2018 Posted January 8, 2018 As painful as yesterday's loss still is, it was nice to actually root for our own guys before making this inevitable shift to "anyone but NE". Going forward, who are you rooting for? I'm all in with the Saints. Yes, they squeaked by yesterday, but overall, I think they present the most realistic shot at beating the Cheats - matchup wise. Their early loss to NE was while they still tried the AP experiment...totally different team since then. From this point till the SB...go Saints! 2
eball Posted January 8, 2018 Posted January 8, 2018 I'm rooting for the winner of Saints/Vikings to win it all. I like both of those teams. Also, it would be cool to see the Vikings play a Super Bowl in their home stadium! 3
Livinginthepast Posted January 8, 2018 Posted January 8, 2018 I'm with you on the Saints, or maybe redemption for the Falcons?. The Falcons looked surprisingly good on Saturday night. I cannot see anyone stopping the Pats before the SB. The only possible way NE loses is to the Steelers and that wont happen at home. But yes anyone but NE. 1

But yes anyone but NE. Expand I'm with you on Atlanta as well. They looked like a complete team on Saturday. I'm not sold on Minny. Storybook season for Keenum but not counting on him getting it done to go all the way. Admittedly, I'm biased towards Brees getting another one. Not that his legacy is in question, it would just be nice for the guy to get a 2nd ring to cap off his HOF career. Edited January 8, 2018 by ProcessTheTrust

It appears their D has flushed the memory of Rob Ryan and is rough and tough once more. I would love to see the Steelers beat NE, but I think their O is gonna get banged up facing the Jags D and be easy pickin's for NE. My preferred Superbowl would be Steelers-Saints. I just think that would be a great game. 2

They might have an all Dome road...dome in Minny, unless Foles pulls out a miracle, back to their dome vs Atl, and then back to Minny for a dome SB. Brees is in his glory!

But yes anyone but NE. Expand My only thing here would be, if the Pats win another Superbowl, would Belicheck*** move on? And if they lose, would he stay? I could (almost) stomach another Pats Superbowl if it inspires Belicheck*** to leave town. I worry about the Falcons. Yes, they looked good on Saturday night, but the Rams also looked "not ready for Prime Time" so I question my perception. I would NOT like to see a return of the "Folding Falcons" to the Superbowl. What puzzles me is how mostly the same cast of WR has had consistently lower catch %. From the Falcons games I've seen this year (admittedly not many), a lot of Ryan's increased # of INTs is on the WR - balls ricocheting off their hands. Every single one of Ryan's WR + Devonte Freeman has 4-5% lower catch % this year. Why? Is it a new OC? Different coaching? Scheme differences? Ryan himself being just a little bit "off" on his throws? On 1/8/2018 at 4:29 PM, ProcessTheTrust said: Steelers could beat them, but yeah, those Cheats just always pull through at home.

Brees is in his glory! Expand It's hard for the Steelers to beat that 12th man in Foxboro - you know, the Refs? (sour grapes, I know, I know). I like the "Dome Road" theory, and I'd like to see Brees win another ring.

I mean, I'm rooting for Tenn to pull out a miracle (ugh, maybe I should reconsider using Tenn and Miracle in the same sentence!). Steelers have the talent to take it but I just think NO is the most realistic team to stop the Cheats.
BillsFan130 Posted January 8, 2018 Posted January 8, 2018 It’s so annoying how the Pats basically get a bye to the AFC championship game every year. They always come 1st because they beat up on a bad AFC east, then they will play a low seed in the 2nd round of the playoffs after their bye
Gordio Posted January 8, 2018 Posted January 8, 2018 I am actually rooting for the cheatriots. I figure if they win enough Lombardi Trophies that Billy Boy & Marsha will finally decide to hang it up. But I could really careless who wins. I do think it would be cool to see Minn play in their home stadium though.

Another Fan Posted January 8, 2018 Posted January 8, 2018 Fans here would still root for Marrone over the Pats if it came down to that?

cashdude Posted January 8, 2018 Posted January 8, 2018 Not only do I not want the Patriots to win but I want them to go down in the most humiliating way possible.

Success Posted January 8, 2018 Posted January 8, 2018 We should prepare now: unless Brady gets hurt, they’re getting #6. I almost feel like I have to go through a month long dentist appointment. The only team I can see challenging them is the Saints. Payton and Brees have the experience. BB and Brady will toy with every other team.
