So....who are we rooting against in the SB?

49's

 

I'm rooting for the Niners. Can't stand the thought of Ed Reed, Terrell Thuggs, Ray Ray, Flacco or JOHN Hairball pawing the Lombardi. They are, to put it simply, an arrogant team that showed us absolutely no respect this year and I will not root for our arch rival! Can't stand the Hairball smirk, or the Ray Ray dance, or Flacco's cadence, or Thuggs', well, his TEETH! Or his attitude for that matter! Maybe if the Niners win, that will provide some extra motivation to go after number 7!

 

Sorry I guess I assumed that most of us were looking at the SB as a "lesser of two evils" scenario. That's why I entitled the thread that way.

 

And, as I mentioned, this game is for the NFL championship, which existed long before the Super Bowl.

Counting those, the Packers have 13, the Bears have 9, the Giants have 8.

So, the Niners reaching 6 too - big whoop. Extend your memories a bit folks, and a team tying us for 4th place all time for NFL titles is a small price to pay for the Ravens' Super Bowl dreams ending in agony.

 

Well, I have a huge problem with them winning. Come on 12, you are an old hand. Did you want the Oilers to go on and win the Super Bowl in 1980 after the Steelers failed to make the playoffs that season?

No, when the history of this recent era is written, I want everyone to look back and say that the Steelers won Super Bowls, and the Ravens fell short, just as we can say it about the late 70s Oilers.

 

I'm on the fence for this one.. I don't want the 49ers to match us with rings, but at the same time I don't want FlakeO to win a ring, Woodley said he would never win one so I bet FlakeO is just foaming at the mouth waiting to rub it in. Maybe the dome will cave in and they'll call it a tie. Almost got my wish, Falcons and rats, but the falcons had to choke.

 

No rooting here... just enjoying the commercials- halftime along friends drinks & food in rememberance of the Pittsburgh Steelers.

 

Falcons were not going to win the SB no matter if it was the PATs or Ravens... They are a soft team. They played strong in the playoffs because they were at home. They would have gotten trounced if they had to go on the road...

 

let's took this way to find a little breath room to watch that damned sb
if the 49ers win we can say :ah ha rats and flacco you cocked again you couldn't give ray his last dream ... (very bad for them and little good for us )
if the rats win we can say : ah ah rats thanx a lot for your effort to give ray his dream you left us on the top number sb in the world , we didn't have too much faith but you did it for us thanx again ( little bad for them , and little good for us )
trying to stomach a possible rats win is difficult , at this point i'm huge 49ers fan

 

After the Steelers attained their 6th Lombardi Trophey, I vowed that I could NEVER root for Dallas or San Fran to win the big game again (unless we had 7). This was all before Flacco tossed a deep "desperation" hail mary-arcing pop fly against an out of position Denver defense from deep in there own territory, with a mere 1 min-30 secs to go in the game, and no timeouts. By the way, I'm still in denial.

In conclusion, that playoff hail mary essentially sent the Ravens to this upcoming SuperBowl against San Fran. Then again, this is the NFL -and a win is in fact a win. With that said, I'm now going back on my vow. I mean after seeing how moldy the Ravens got just to play in this years AFC Championship game in the first place, their is no possible way I can root for them. Not to mention the fact that I already despise all things Ravens. After San Fran hopefully prevails, I'd rather suffer with a bittersweet feeling than leaning over my toilet to regergitate.

 

I really dont care but will lean the niners way, and since both coaches send their game plans to their Dad every week, whats to say one of them doesnt get a peek at the other ones game plan????

 

sb loser

Good point. Better to see SF tie us temporarily and for Ravens to fail.

 

Im going for The 9ers... It's ok if they match us with 6 as long as we get 7 & 8

 

49'rs

 

most of those past championships aren't even comparable to todays championships.. back then you had less than 10 teams, and in some cases if you finished first over all you won the championship, there wasn't a final 2 duke it out, like in the new era where Pitts holds the most rings. it's a hell of a lot tougher in a 32 team league, than a 6

 

I love this post and I agree with every single word. GO SAN FRAN!

 

Well said!!! I wanted ATL to win so as to protect our 6 SB record, but it didn't happen. When forced to look at the results of a Rats SB win and a SF SB win, the lesser evil is a SF win by far! I can't support my mortal enemy. GO SAN FRAN!

 

I'm rooting that the Mayans got their dates wrong..lol

 

I almost thought that I caught myself rooting for the Rats last night against the Cheaters but then quickly realized that my mind must have been overcome by flu like symptoms elevated by a total widthdrawl from Steelers football. I MUST MAKE IT STOP IMMEDIATELY or seek a doctor pronto.

Go 9ers. I just wish the coach would take a flying leap off the Golden Gate Bridge. I'm certain that the team could win without him anyways.

 

Not disagreeing - but

those championships still count. Just go to Green Bay and ask them.

in those days, there were no wild card teams either, and there were no multiple rounds of playoffs. The teams with the two best records met for the title, which was not played at a neutral site either. Only in the very first years of the league was there no title game.

And speaking of the Packers, if there had been Super Bowls with the AFL in the 1961, 1962 and 1965 seasons, you could have added 3 more Super bowl wins to their championship total, no problem.

Look, this is the Ravens for heaven's sake. The deadly rival. The descendant of the original Browns. How could you want anything but the absolute worst for that franchise? Do you know any Ravens fans? Do you ever read what they write about the Steelers and their fans?

D'oh! this is a no brainer folks.

 

At the end of the day, my six-time superbowl champions hat is still good. I hate the rats, no way am I rooting for them...wonder what Bane from Batman is doing.
