Colts or Jets?

As a diehard Pats fan, I simply don't know who to root for in the AFC Championship game. We have history with both teams, the Jets maybe more.

Or perhaps you can root for a good game, not really caring who wins or loses.

Or you can wish both teams lose. ex Colts win and Peyton Manning gets injured.

So who are you rooting for next week? Peyton Manning and the Colts? Or the running game and the Jets.

I'm starting to hate Manning (Pey-Pey) as much as I hated Troy Aikman

At the same time, I hate Rexy the Hutt, and want to see him cry.

I want the Jets to beat the Colts to a pulp, and then get obliterated by the Saints in the SB.

but when the announcers say stuff like “we are privileged to watch the greatest QB ever to play the game” (like they did during the colts/ravens game last week) / my head wants to explode!

I’m the closest thing you guys have to a civil enemy fan. And lets face it, the only thing that unites Dolphins and Pats is the utter disdain for the Jersey Bi-planes.

Here's the deal

From this Pats fan’s twisted perspective:

Jets over Colts next week for the sheer pleasure and irony of watching the Colts lose to the very team they not only allowed to break their win steak, but allowed into the playoffs.

In the SB, the Saints (preferably) beat the Jets with a stick and everyone can feel good during the offseason about Drew Brees leading the storm-ravaged state of Louisiana to a Super Bowl win. : )

Anyone but the Jets

I’d root for you and Buffalo if the Colts did that, but not the Jets… just no.

Plus we could rely on the "Superbowl loser's curse" to be in effect next year

but there’s something unholy about wishing the Jets into the Big Game. Especially since it’s always a crapshoot. And the Saints are based on the blueprint of the 2007 Pats. Yes. Those Pats. Superbowl-sized shudder.

Saints...

I don’t want to deal with “Peyton won a Superbowl, he’s best ever” on here. Nor do I want a “Favre won a Superbowl, he’s best ever.” I certainly don’t want a “Jets won a Superbowl”… so I’m sticking with the Saints.

A Whole Bunch of Bad Choices

Nobody good left to root for except maybe the Saints. I despise that little Brad (“Doesn’t my beard make me look even more like a sex offender?”) Childress and Favre is just beneath contempt. The Jets? ugh. Bill Polian and the Colts? No way.

Here’s how I’m rooting. I want to Saints to obliterate the Vikes so bad that Chili gets fired and Brett gets so humiliated that he re-re-re-retires for good.

In the AFC, I really want to Jets to beat the whiny, sanctimonious Bill Polian who, besides looking and sounding exactly like a hemorrhoid, is a master of being second best. His Buffalo Bills finished second in 4 straight Super Bowls and his Colts have been the second best team of the decade. I want him to deal with the pain of yet another playoff failure—after which he’ll whine and bitch and change the rules again. I’m not too worried about the Jets. If they win then regardless of what they do in the Super Bowl, they’ll be so fat-headed and fat-assed next year—Rex Ryan will just be fat—that they will lose whatever edge they may have had this year.

So, Jets over the Colts, Saints over the Vikes, Saints over the Jets—and then we can all get ready for free agency and the draft. But I’ve been wrong about so much else this year that it will probably be the Colts or the Vikings!

Nice biting post Professor!

To add fuel to your fire, don’t forget that Bill Poilan, during a Colts blowout at Gillette a few years back (think the score was 41-19 or something) could be heard audibly yelling from his private box “Break his leg” as the Colts tackled Doug Flutie on a meaningless last second play.

This is well known in the New England media. Not sure old Billy is going to win any Man of the Year awards anytime soon.

I’d Rather watch a Lifetime Original movie then Sunday’s AFC Championship game

Saturday night after watching the Ravens get decimated by Peyton and the my little ponies I had a nightmarish premonition. The Jets would beat the Chargers and we’d be left with the worst possible AFC championship. Then Sunday Philip "Cry me a River" and wayward kicker made that nightmare come true. I’d rather watch a lifetime original movie then watch these two battle it out for best in AFC.

I actually felt sorry for Rivers

He was desperately trying to carry his team in some pretty bad circumstances. His best WR was taken away by Revis, so you’d think that he’d start using his RBs more… except Ladanian Tomlinson was shedding tears and looking like someone kidnapped his puppy after one quarter.

Seriously, Tomlinson seems to get to knockout games and lose the plot – this was the first time he’s been physically fine in playoffs, the Chargers are riding a massive winning streak, his QB is red-hot, and the team they’re facing has a rookie QB and rookie Head Coach… and Tomlinson falls to pieces mentally. And he did it when the Chargers were in the lead. Someone explain this to me? I’m honestly struggling.

This should make everyone happy.

Revis intercepts Manning on the first play. He runs it back to the 10 yard line, then Manning tries to tackle him. Manning breaks both femurs, and Revis runs the rest of the way for the Touchdown. Sanchez eats a hotdog while watching an instructional video about sliding. Curtis Painter comes in and lights up the Jets defense. He ends the game with 600yards passing, 6 passing touchdowns, and -17 yards rushing and two forced fumbles. Rex Ryan cries.

New Orlean beats Farve, so the Farvefest doesn’t continue.

In the Superbowl, Painter is again reduced to his normal self, where he matches Kerry Collin’s stats against New England. New Orleans Dominates. And of course… Rex Ryan cries again.

How is this scenario?

Works more or less.

It’s picking the least repulsive to win.

What topping do you want on your pizza?

The choices are Leech, Worm, Cockroach, or Pepperoni.

You take Pepperoni even if you don’t like it because it is the least unpalatable.

i have reasons

To root against every single team in the final four of this NFL season, but Minnesota probably has the mildest one, so I’m a Vikes guy for this week. I’d rather see either NFC team take it over the Jets or Colts, but if had to be one of our AFC rivals I (can’t believe I’m saying this) will likely side with the Jets. I have to deal with Colts fans on a daily basis where I live.

His contract fine print states that if he wins he will retire, and if he loses he will be traded to the Raiders.

Al Davis has already said they plan to use Favre at either Left Guard, or Special Teams Gunner or both.
