Now that the Pack is elminated, who do you WANT to win and why?
Perhaps this is self-flagellation...I don't know... I've always been a secondary fan of the 9'ers historically but I voted for the Patriots. Mind you last night's woopin' leveled has nothing to do with it. I chose the Patriots because when all is said and done, as much as I dislike Bellichek, he'll have his guys comporting themselves in a manner that is consistent with the concept of being a CHAMPION.
Seattle and this 9'ers team seem to be cut from the same cloth. The concept of winning with style, or good form, is an elusive animal to these guys. Maybe it has something to do with their lack of experience with same - I do think it goes hand-in-hand with the top of the coaching ladder.
The Texans and Falcons ... I don't know ... I just get the feeling they're pretenders.
Ravens?? Sorry ... the Harbaugh boys just don't do a whole lot for me.
I AM happy as a stuck pig that Denver took the dive last night. I like Manning ... but Bronco fans as a group ... I just don't want them to be happy....right up there with Bears fans.
I remember an elderly couple in London a few years ago at the Wembley game being cheerful even though they had just been beaten. They laughingly said as Bronco fans, they were used to losing but had enjoyed the visit. I`m sorry but I DID feel sorry for them last night. I STILL cant forgive the Seahawks, so as long as THEY get beaten I`m not too bothered really.
See, I'm basing my dislike of them based on how they, as a group, crowed after defeating the Pack in SB32. The internet was but a baby back then but it was like these yahoos made a point of finding the old Milwaukee Journal-Sentinel fan forum AFTER the win. Didn't hear squat from any of them prior to the game - just after their win. I was astounded at the sheer numbers with which they invaded that site back then. Of course, I recognize that the good fans were largely silent because they didn't know that the internet existed yet...and only the P.O.S.'s that had online access where commenting, but still...I've painted them all with broad strokes.

Ravens. Love me some Ray Lewis and want to see him go out with another ring.
or anyone but the Seahawks.
Heh heh, I'd contend that I'm in my right mind and I want the Hawks to win. Though we've already established that we don't see eye to eye on the subject.With Atlanta rolling Seattle, I am going to be 7/8 in my Bracketology Board.
But the one I missed was Denver, who I had winning it all.
Dammit.
I should have known Manning.... he's been a choker in the playoffs like Favre almost every year.
An early Pick-6 he threw, and an overtime Int on a stupid pass, proved fatal.
Tebow did better in their home playoff game last year.
And did you guys see the Denver safety #26, allow the Ravens WR to get behind him with 31 seconds left, with Denver ahead 35-28? That was unfathomable.
That guy could be on our team, looked like last year's defense allowing Hail Mary's right before halftime.
Damn Broncos. I should be 8/8.
As far as now, I'd like to see the Texans win the Super Bowl but they have no chance.
For teams that I think can win it all, I voted Atlanta because I like Tony Gonzalez.
Nobody in their right mind should want Seattle with Pete Carroll at the helm, even though we like Russ Wilson.
I also can't stand Harbaw and am bitter they are so healthy compared to us.
I'd be OK with John winning one. I won't fault him for his brother being an ***.SB winner needs to be either the Falcons, Patriots or Texans. Definitely don't want either of the Harbaugh brothers to win
