    AFC
    Pats over Rats, then whoever over Pats

    NFC
    Dallas and Green Bay - no
    So, I'll go with Seattle or Detroit.

    Most reasonable expectation is Seattle over Patriots

    It would be nice to see Seattle lay the wood on Brady a few times, but I don't want to see Brady even get that far.

    I would have said the Lions. That team has had its share of horrible years, and the city is crashing down around itself. Sound familiar??

    They need the Lions to win big to pull themselves up again.

    Just like Da Burgh

    Yeah, it'd be nice if Denver wins the whole thing. I think Peyton would call it a career and their fans (and the media) would appreciate it for what it is and not be a-holes about it (unlike BAL, SEA, and DAL.)

    I do not want Baltimore and I do not want Dallas.

    ANYONE but New England.... even the Ravens as a last resort. At least if the Ravens win the SB, our loss will have been to the best team in the postseason this year. God I HATE the Pats.... I'm pulling for Denver or Indy, but I will definitely be cheering for the Ravens next weekend - if I even bother to watch at all.

    No way. I cant even imagine wanting the Ravens to win the Super Bowl. I will watch the games but its not hockey season and college basketball season at my house.

    It's hard to root for another team especially when there is some history there.

    Ravens - Yeah right!
    Patriots - Bunch of no good cheaters
    Broncos - Too much Peyton this Peyton that... OMG look it's Peyton!
    Colts - You're OK

    Seattle - I'm still cleaning up all the tears from their fans from losing to us in the SB.
    Cowboys - nope, not gonna cheer for them, not even once
    GreenBay - eh, ok I'm not going to root against them
    Panthers - Don't think they have a shot - they never bothered me.

    In the end I would like to see Panthers over the colts because I think it would piss off the media so much. But realistically, I'd take the Colts over Greenbay.

    I can't really root for another team other than the Steelers, but I do still love watching football in general. I used to hate Peyton, but I've come to believe that he's actually a very decent person who is very smart and I respect his ability as a QB, so if I have to pick a team from those left, it would be Denver.

    I considered that. But then I recalled this was the team that did the unthinkable. Dump and entire season. A total disregard for any sports ethics or integrity. Now I am going to root for that??? Can't do it!

    I did root for Cinci. Had they won TS [the Steelers] draft #21 instead of #22. A possible benefit. I really don't see any more regardless how things work out now.

    But on a different note. Just curious. In the 2013 draft TS picked #17. Is it possible any of the following players could have been of help this season. Chance Warmack OG, DJ Fluker OT, DJ Hayden CB, Sheldon Richardson DT, Star Lotulelei DT, Kenny Vaccaro S, EJ Manuel QB.

    Now IMO the drafts overall the past two years have been excellent. But what bugs me about that 2013 draft was TS finished 8-8. 7-9 would very likely given TS a shot at any of those players. Oh well!

    Nonetheless, it was odd how TS sort of got suckered into the pick. First of all, they easily could have picked much much higher. Then the player drops from as high as top 5 to 2nd half of the draft. Then you consider that almost zero posters were recommending this pick and frankly many strongly were against it. Oh well! Like I said, overall the past few drafts have been excellent. Many top quality NFL players [Shazier definitely included] are in the house. Keep it up. Hey FO! Start paying attention to these MB posters on these #1 picks.

    Thats because you watch too much tv and they bombarded you with his commercials.
    You fell for it.

    This is a lose-lose situation for me, but I guess I'm in this boat. I can only hope that the Broncos or Colts whoops whoever wins.

    Living in Indiana. I'm going with the Colts.

    Here' who I would hate to see win.

    Cheatriots and Tom Brady. I'd rather be laid up in a hospital with a completely unknown terminal disease that even House couldn't figure out.

    The Donkey's with Peyton Manning. God, it'll be unbearable for the 2 weeks leading up to the games. Every 3rd commercial will be losing feeling in my toes, Pappa Johns and new cars. I think I'd hang myself if I were forced to watch his post game winning press conference.

    Cowgirls with Romo. Now that they would tie us for 6 Championships their ever inflated ego would probably implode the stadium as they are raising the banner. Maybe Jerry Jones could ride it all the way to the top and then do us all a favor and perform a beautiful swan dive without a mat. It would be what little satisfaction that I would feel.

    Flacco and the Rats. OK. I usually want the team that beats my team to win it all but not at all in this case. Suggs holding the Lomardi and handing it to a Hairball. No thanks.

    Pete Carrol and the Seahags. Don't want anyone to get back to back anymore except the Steelers. Get lost!



    The two that I could stomach.

    Green Bay and Mike McCarthy. Respect their organization and fan base although I'd have to hear Discount Double check for another couple years.

    Carolina. True underdog story. Cam getting injured and coming back from it. Although, ESPN would turn him into some sort of Superhero.

    So, due to process of elimination and my location I'm going with Pagano and Indy.

    Go Luck!

    Incorrect. It's because I've looked up interviews of his, read about his family background, and listened to things he's said, and made up my mind on my own. If I fell for anything, it would have been a lot of hate from people I hang out with and from things I read here.

    The way I look at it, maybe if the Ravens win again and for all purposes take over as the dominant team in the AFC North, it may kick Art Rooney in the ass and make clear that the status quo ain't good enough. I've had my fill of not good enough.
