Agree to disagree I guess. Especially about the bandwagon effect. Been coming to Seattle regularly since prior to the Hassleback superbowl, and now live here, and I just don't see it like that. I guess I could be wrong. I see a continually passionate fanbase that people don't like because they're passionate. If we start winning people will hate us because we're the best fans going...potentially. I could see all of our losing getting people to pity-root for us lol. 

 

I've lived north of Seattle most of my life....There was a huge jump in fandom when they went to the SB vs Pitt.....and again since Wilson has arrived...now, don't get me wrong, any team who has a good season or get a very good QB will see their fan #s go up....so Seattle is not different in that aspect.....but there's definitely band wagoners.....my problem is more about the way they act and see their team....you'd think you're dealing with fans from Dallas, Pittsburgh or even NE.....win more than 1 before comparing your team to the best in NFL history....Hey, Seattle.....you have 1 trophy....not 7.....Bucs fan have as much to brag about than you...lol..

I wouldn't say I'm rooting for any particular team. I'm just rooting against New England pretty much. I enjoy the Chiefs, Ravens, and Colts in particular in the AFC (assuming Indy takes care of business tonight). In the NFC, I don't really care about any particular team at all. I think the Saints will win it all but I don't have a rooting interest in any of them.

Colts - Frank Reich (enough said) and Andrew Luck having doubts about his career continuing

Chiefs - Andy Reid, best coach in NFL history without a ring, and lots of firepower that's fun to watch

Chargers - Rivers is the contemporary Jim Kelly and Anthony Lynn is the man

If any of these teams knock out NE, I'm going to root for them all the way (or whoever else could beat them)

Anybody but NE

I know this will probably get lost in the shuffle with all the news of coaches being fired today, but who's everyone rooting for? 

 

Me personally I'm rooting for the Colts. My brother and sister in law live in indy and are Colts fans, and also I love Reich as a head coach and former Bill. After that I'm rooting for whoever is playing the Patriots. Although, a very small part of me would love to see the Patriots get back to the superbowl and lose again, or on the flip side have the Patriots win and Brady retire

In WC round it will be whoever would send the toughest matchup to NE in divisional round. That looks like it would be the Colts, as the Chargers/ Ravens winner would then travel to Foxboro. Sucks that if HOU wins their game KC gets the tougher opponent. As for the NFC, probably the Saints then PHL.

I will be cheering for LA and Frank Reich's Colts team.

 

Also (and this goes without saying) I will be a huge fan of any team playing New England on game day.

 

I basically do 2 things these days in the NFL: cheer for the Bills to win and cheer for NE to lose.

Agree with above- anyone but NE and Dallas.

 

I like the Saints simply cause of Brees (Sean Payton seems dickish to me) 

 

I love the Bears style, and Khalil Mack is one of my favorite players in the league. 

 

Part of me wants the Eagles just for the story of Nick Foles. 

 

In the AFC, anyone but the Pats. Probably the Chargers or Colts.

There are actually a number of fresh teams in this year; I find it easy to come up with 4 or 5 teams that make me say "I wouldn't mind seeing them win" which is highly unusual!

 

Bears, Colts, Rams, Chargers, Saints, Philly.
