Your NFL team done? OK, who are you cheering for now?
« on: December 31, 2007, 08:12:24 AM »
OK, this question is aimed at fans of teams that did not qualify for the NFL Playoffs. As most of you know, I'm a huge Raider fan, so I knew we weren't going anywhere this year (though huge strides were made in 2007, despite only a two win improvement). I still plan on watching (and betting on) most playoff games. So, if your team is done (I know we have a lot of Bears fans here), who are you cheering for? Cheering against?

I'll go first.....
Go Seahawks! I've got relatives up north and have always liked their team (Hasselbeck SHOULD go sly) and they can put up points. They have just as much of a chance of advancing out of the NFC as anyone. Though Dallas is the strongest NFC team.

With every ounce of fiber in my body, I want the Patriots to lose ASAP. Moss? Hate him. Tom "Tuck Rule" Brady? Loathe him. Belledick? Nice monk look ya' got going there.

A Dallas / New England Super Bowl? Think I'll watch re-runs of the World Series of Poker.

As a TRUE Bears fan, I will cheer for no one else.  I will however hope the team I bet on wins.

Go Cowboys!
People are not limited by the circumstance that they are born in. They are limited by the size of their dreams. Show them that their dreams can have no limits and in turn their accomplishments can be limitless.

As a long suffering Browns fan, even in winning yesterday, had to wait to watch the Titans beat Indy to know they blew their chance for the playoffs. So, who an I cheering for now?

Schro, I think my Chiefs are battling your Raiders for the cellar.  I don't know if we've hit bottom yet, but the feeling in KC is that something had better change... and sooner rather than later.

My Detroit Lions were destined for a playoff spot. But then they lost 6 games in a row.

Well, I'm a Titans fan, and we hobbled into the playoffs... barely.  So, next week when we (likely) lose at San Diego, I'm not sure who I'll be pulling for.  Probably the Patriots-Cowboys SB matchup - that would likely make for the best game to watch.  Since my brother is a diehard 'Boys fan, I guess I'll pull for them?

Hey, we're in a coin flip with Atl (pretty sad) for the 3, 4 & 5 draft position. Good luck to ya, Rick.
Outside of two road games, the Raiders were competitive in most games and the "D" gave away a 4th quarter lead in 5 games. Not saying we were even an "average" team, but we're clearly headed in the right direction. It's the first time in many years I can make that statement.

Go Seahawks!

At least you're headed in the right direction.  The word in the news yesterday was that Carl Peterson and Herm Edwards were both staying for next year.  It looks like the same old thing again for next year. :Xo!

Amen brother...I can't bring myself to cheer for anyone else.

Although I must admit I have more than a passing admiration for our evil rival's head man.  Favre is one guy I can't bring myself to root against (unless he's playing against my monsters).

Also, anyone who can put a hurt on the Pats will get a positive vote in my book.
