Broncos-Patriots: who are you rooting for?

[Rat]

I'm pretty split on this one, and want to see if you of you can sway me harder to a side.

Why to root for the Broncos:
- I hate the Pats. I don't want them to have good things. Rooting for them feels unnatural, and I'm worried about missing the start of our game, with how long of a shower I would need after three hours of cheering for the Pats.

- I couldn't handle losing to the Pats in the Super Bowl again. Yeah, you could say "revenge game", and to an extent, it would be, but none of the players who were on either side that day, are with those teams now. Avenging that game would be nice, but would it really change anything?

- If we botch the Rams game, how awful would a Patriots-Rams Super Bowl be? I guess I could use that time to get other stuff done.

- I've warmed up to the Broncos. Trading us the farm for our former washed-up QB, which played a huge part in us getting our current core, with Charles Cross and Devon Witherspoon being acquired directly from their picks, kind of erases the hate I used to harbor for them. If we can't win it, I'd much, much, much rather it be the Broncos with a backup QB than the Patriots or Rams.

- I hate the Pats. I don't want them to have good things. This is an important enough point for me to state twice.


Why to root for the Patriots:
- Broncos feels like "been there, done that". Don't get me wrong, wasting them in the Super Bowl a second time would feel awesome, but I think it'd be more fun to conquer a different mountain.

- Defeating the Patriots would be WAY more satisfying. Plus, knocking out the two QBs in the thick of the MVP conversation in back to back weeks would be awesome.

- I don't have anything against any player on the Broncos really, but I do hate their coach. The Patriots have a former Buckeye coach at least.


While typing this out, I feel like I'm trying to justify rooting for the Patriots, but at what cost? Them winning could end up being the highest high or the lowest low for us.

I honestly don't care. Neither is on my list of teams I could possibly root for. AFCC feels like an after-thought right now.

Broncos. They are my brother’s favorite team. I can’t stand the Cheatriots. Either would be easier than the Rams I think.

I believe the NFC won 60% of the games against the AFC LY and TY it was something like 68%??

Go Hawks!

K9 runs it in at the goal line vs the Patriots for the world championship winner.

All is restored in the universe.

The world HAS kind of sucked since then. Maybe this is all we need.

Bo Nix went to Oregon, so he is a natural enemy. But then, he busted his ankle, and I'm not one to kick a man when he is down.
Plus having to watch the game HAS to be killing him.

Beating the Pats would be nice for the history books!

Next year: Steelers go down!

 

[hawkfannj]

Gotta be completely honest I don’t care who it is. We’re winning it all.

 

[NoGain]

I'm sorta kinda for the Donks just because of the Nix/underdog/overconfident Pats' fan thing. I think the Pats winning, however, would give the Hawks a more worthy opponent with Nix being out, give more credence to our SB victory if we get there and it happens. So basically, it's mixed feelings that way. I can come up with things I dislike about both teams/franchises.

 

[Cyrus12]

Neither i hate both teams evenly..I cannot cheer for any team left outside of the seahawks. Could you imagine watching this year's super bowl without the Hawks in it?? There'd be no bad bunny halftime show on my TV...

If it's Patriots-Rams, I might tune in ONLY for that.

No.

Just, NO!

What happens if they tie and end up tied when overtimes over ?
Wouldn't mind finding out , in their game and not ours lol
Go Hawks

It would go to another overtime. I've only seen it happen once that I can remember (Rams-Panthers divisional game a while back).

 

[CPHawk]

Don’t care really. If we can beat the Rams, we will beat both N.E. or Denver by 2 scores. But it would be nice to get revenge on the Pats

 

[GemCity]

Hard choice. Broncos because I have a few friends that are fans…and I love to see the underdogs win.

Patriots because of what’s already been mentioned in this thread.

K9 from the two to win the game vs the Pats would give me a raging boner for the next 3.5 months.

Think my wife would prefer the Broncos.

 

[CPHawk]

Also, the Pats have been absolutely horrible playing at Denver in the playoffs.

Throw in a crotch grab as he crosses the goal line. That would be epic!!

Same. They are my brothers team as well

 

[Galaxyflyr]

Both would be re matches. The Hawks have already won a SB against the Broncos. The Hawks have a mission to complete with the Patriots, so the Patriots are my choice.
