I don't think they have much of a chance, but I'll be rooting for Seattle this weekend. If they win, then the Patriots pick after the Jets in the first round of the draft. Not the biggest deal in the world but I would hate to see the Patriots draft a guy we all want two picks before the Jets.
That's actually a pretty good reason, but why does Seattle beating Chicago put the Pats behind the Jets in the draft?
I hate everyone left in the tournament. So many wagon hoppers up here in Canada that once Jets are out I root against whichever team has the largest wagon at the moment. Currently that is the Chargers and Bears.... But I can't root for the Pats so it's just gonna be an awful weekend of football for me. I want Pats out asap, but the week after Chargers!!
This has probably been my most enjoyable season of the 23 where I have watched closely (I did watch prior to 1984, but was too young to understand most of what I was watching). The teams I like were good- Jets, Saints, Titans Most of the teams I dislike immensely were not good and/or had awful endings to their seasons- Dolphins, Bills, Raiders, Cowboys, Giants, Steelers, 49ers Only problems- Patriots and Colts are still alive Also a plus- Steve McNair is still playing (he is my all-time favorite non-Jets player) EDIT- This is the FIRST TIME in 23 years of watching the Divisional Round games that I am rooting for the home team in all 4 games. Now, almost all the time the home team is favored in postseason games. In other words, with this round I always was rooting for at least one underdog in the past 22 years. Most of the time it was two or three, and sometimes all four. It is nice that I can relax this weekend more than I did for any other in the past. I can expect that, at worse, 50% of the teams I want to win this weekend will win. (The odds that three or four of the home teams/favorites will lose this week are very slim.)
That is a great reason. Happened this year with Maroney and I think there is a great chance of it happening again if they pick before us. They would look at LB and CB if WR isn't there. Oh and am I the only one who thinks the Seahawks will win this game?
how can anyone root against the saints, if their team is already out? That story is so incredible, and the people down there will just explode if something happens. I think its great and I hope they take the whole thing.
