southtown24th Posted January 4, 2017 Share Posted January 4, 2017 I hate the Giants more than I hate the Cheaters and that's hard. So anyone but the Giants and anyone but the Cheaters and I am good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UntouchableCrew Posted January 4, 2017 Share Posted January 4, 2017 In the AFC -- anyone but the Pats is first priority. If i had to pick a team I'd pick the Chiefs. I like Andy Reid. In the NFC -- anyone but the Giants is first priority. If I had to pick a team I think I'd pick the Falcons. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bleedin Green Posted January 4, 2017 Share Posted January 4, 2017 The unbelievably large, and sad, inferiority complex so many Jets fans have with the Giants hardly helps with the reputation our fanbase gets. It's a team they play once every 4 years, there's absolutely no reason to have that strong of an opinion about them. Oh no, another team's fan busts your balls? Get over it. If they end up winning it again, I will have absolutely no problem with that, it will simply mean that both the Cheaters and Dolphins have lost, and that is all that truly matters. For any Jets fan who would root for either of those teams over the Giants, it's clearly far more about being personally pouty than anything football related.

It would be funny however since you have all New Yorkers and ex-jets running the team. Why would you have respect for a divisonal foe? I hate everybody in the AFC East. If i recall you live in south florida and i'm sure you know, whether you'll admit it or not, that the dysfunction in the organization has all but dissapeared since Gase's hiring. No leaks.

I would never root for the Pats over the Giants, but I don't know how anyone raised in NY as a Jets fan can not hate the Giants. And accusing people of being "sad" or having a "complex?" Let's be honest, most intelligent adults would look at any "fan" who rants and raves about professional sports on a message board and tell them to get a life. "Hating" one team is no better or worse than "hating" another. It's all just entertainment and shouldn't be taken so seriously. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Long Island Leprechaun Posted January 5, 2017 Share Posted January 5, 2017 Don't really care all that much, but if Carr was healthy I would be rooting for the Raiders -- they 've got no chance without him so I'm not wasting my energy. Chiefs would be second. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NoBowles Posted January 5, 2017 Share Posted January 5, 2017 Anyone but the Giants. Unfortunately, they are going to win it all. Watch this week when they beat the Pack, they will egregiously hold on every offensive play and it will get called 2 times, their WRs will push off all game with no calls, and their DBs will hold and have illegal contact all game that won't get called. least penalized team in the league is an absolute travesty. NFL is setting up Giants Pats 3 this year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tinstar Posted January 5, 2017 Share Posted January 5, 2017 I'm rooting for the Jets to find a nice young OC, who will develop a young QB to Franchise status and take my team out of last place .

slowmoe57 Posted January 5, 2017 Share Posted January 5, 2017 There was a time I would root for the Giants. But watching them stroll to a championship then we go to 2 AFCC and lose and watch them win again has put a dent in my soul that I can not recover from. Maybe just getting bitter in my old age. I like the Falcons but don't trust their D. Same goes for the Packers. I hate the Cowboys as much as the Cheaters. Texans and Dolphins don't have a chance and the Raiders lost their QB so by process of elimination I will pull for the Chiefs. GO CHIEFS Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big Blocker Posted January 5, 2017 Share Posted January 5, 2017 TO answer the OP's question, I would be rooting for the Raiders but as others have said here and elsewhere, they sadly seem to have no chance. They would have been very interesting with Carr still playing, and might have done some damage if they beat Denver, had McGloin healthy and could have used the bye week to work him into the O first team. But with Cook, I can't see them being competitive even in the wild card game. That leaves Green Bay. I am concerned about their CB's, but as a team I've always liked the whole ownership structure there and their history. If I had to pick a favorite player in the league right now it'd probably be Rodgers. They've been playing interesting, exciting football of late, and up this weekend I get to root against the midgets. It's all good. And on a side note as far as I am concerned anyone who roots for NE in any game against any opponent is not a real Jet fan. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am concerned about the Packer pass D. They can't seem to stop the out pass downfield, if the opposing Qb can make that throw. I like Matt Ryan and the CS at Atlanta, but I like Andy Reid even more, so after GB I would say I like the Chiefs again assuming the Raiders will lose out early.

Haha, fair enough point there, but the reason I will never understand it in this case is that it has nothing to do with football. It's more of an "aw shucks, these other people I know root for a better team" situation, which is pretty weak, even by football fan standards. It's nothing more than wanting the people around us to be sharing in Jets fan misery, which is kind of a dick move. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

K_O_Brien Posted January 5, 2017 Share Posted January 5, 2017 In an ideal world, I'd like the Miami Dolphins to get blown out this weekend. Something like 45-3. The Steelers would then lose in the most cruel manner imaginable the following week to the Chiefs. Their kicker missing a potential game-winning FG late in the 4th, then again in overtime before the Chiefs drive down the field and win. The Cowboys dismantle the Giants. Conference games are Pats and Chiefs, Cowboys and Seahawks. Kansas City upset the world by marching into Foxboro and winning 41-17 in a game that's not even that close. Who cares what happens in the NFC once the Giants are out, but let's go with Dallas. Kansas and Dallas Superbowl. Kansas City winning would be kind of cool. A watered down version maybe of a famine-ending title success. Not quiet on the scale of the Cubs and the Cavs but preferable to seeing the usual suspects (Pats, Giants, Steelers, Packers) win out. Basically anyone but the Dolphins, Steelers, Pats, Raiders and Giants. Not much to ask for surely! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Raideraholic Posted January 5, 2017 Share Posted January 5, 2017 I'm rooting for the Raiders to win it all.

But I freely admit I don't understand how Jets fans can root, actively, for other teams. Passive, watch the games, not care who wins (or root against our hated rivals, like the Pats) sure, fine. But to actively root for another team? Do you buy their hats too? Wear their jerseys? Fanboi their players? Must be the Fantasy Football/Free Agency Era tbqh, dilutes truly dedicated single-team fandom IMO, makes fans start liking and following players on other teams other than their favorite team, and start rooting for them as well. /shrug, to each their own. 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.
