LWC611 Posted January 5, 2017 Share Posted January 5, 2017 As New Yorker living away from home, I still have my favorites Jets, Yankees, Knicks but being away from home leads me to support to some degree the other NY teams. I will always root for the Cheaters to lose. So if they play the Giants I will be rooting for the Giants... Like in 86 when the RedSox played the Mets, this diehard Yankees fan rooted for the Mets... I root for anybody playing the Cheaters or the RedSox. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Warfish Posted January 5, 2017 Share Posted January 5, 2017 52 minutes ago, King P said: I don't think anybody here is actively rooting for any other team, it's not the same. Like for me, given the choices I'd like to see the Seahawks win only because I'm a big Russell Wilson fan. But I'm not emotionally invested in the Seahawks, I'm not going to be jumping up and down during if they win or get mad if they lose. When I watch other games not involving the Jets, I'm just like Love the gif. And yeah, I freely admit I'm the unusual one here, but other than the Jets I really have no interest in watching or following football. So once we're out, I'm out, I rarely watch other games or the playoffs unless I'm researching a potential future Jet. Me, I'm looking forward to pitchers and catchers reporting, and the start of the Nationals season now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MaxAF Posted January 5, 2017 Share Posted January 5, 2017 I liked the chances the Raiders had before Carr went down. Can't see them going all the way with Cook or McGloin. I'll root for them anyway. I'm used to losing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Never really hated them, since they're an NFC team and nowhere near the northeast. I also think it's funny how much America hates them, so I like it when they win and stir the pot. And then the Dak and Zeke storyline is as good as it gets. To add to the intrigue, I wouldn't be surprised to see Romo come in as a relief pitcher if Dak has another dud like he did against the Giants or Vikings. So, who do you like? I like how the Cowboys are built...Seattle is another fun team to watch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I predicted Steelers Seahawks II, still feel pretty good about it. I don't like the Pats without Gronk and the Steelers have the best O weapons in the league and an easy path to the AFC Championship Game in Foxboro. The Cowboys will lose in their first game as always, and Seattle will stomp the Falcons and host the NFC Championship Game against lesser teams in the Giants or Packers.

I actually think Kansas city matches up best against New England. If they didn't have the combination of Alex Smith at QB and Andy Reid at HC, I'd completely favor them against the Pats.

FidelioJet Posted January 9, 2017 Share Posted January 9, 2017 Unfortunately I'm relegated to simply rooting against teams...in this case there were three of them. - Dolphins - OUT! - Giants - OUT! - Cheaters - Once they lose I can enjoy the rest of the playoffs peacefully. 2 down, one to go!

nyjunc Posted January 9, 2017 Share Posted January 9, 2017 thankfully the Giant D couldn't carry overrated Eli to a third SB.

Bleedin Green Posted January 10, 2017 Share Posted January 10, 2017 Even independent of the Jets of course not being there, I can't remember ever being less interested in the playoffs. I watched about an hour of total football this weekend tops. Was glad that the Dolphins lost, and of course hoping for the same of the Cheaters, but beyond that, it's tough to even really give a crap. I have very little doubt the NFL's downward trend of ratings will continue, which could potentially be more impactful now that it's playoff time and everyone is able to see all of the games that mean even more, which is supposed to easily make ratings at their highest.
