Can We Just Skip The Super Bowl This Year?

…but their fans were outstanding during SuperBowl XL in Detroit and I’ve grown to appreciate them. I would have been happy to root for the Jets too, if it hadn’t been for the way the Lions/Jets game went down. Obviously you don’t want to root for the division Rivals, but there’s something to say about seeing the NFC north so well represented this late in the playoffs. So much for this being “one of the weaker divisions”!

I can’t believe I voted for the Packers. That never would have happened during the time that Favre played with them. As you said though, they are easily the team I hate the least of all the remaining for. I hate the Steelers more for their jackass fans then I do the team, though certain players really aggravate me (Ben, Hines Ward, Harrison). I somewhat do admire the brashness of the Jets and their coach, but I couldn’t pick them because I don’t want to see Sanchez have so much success before Stafford (petty, I know). The Bears are the biggest frauds in football this year. I also would hate seeing Martz and Marinelli win it all too.

Frankly I was sick of all the put downs of our division as being weak. It was tough to stomach some of the talk from the Giants fans about how pathetic the Lions are were, while they talked about making reservations to the Super Bowl. The NFC East is a joke compared to our division.

On the AFC side, I have no problem rooting for the Steelers. Their fans are generally a classy bunch, maybe a little arrogant but with their history and recent performance why shouldn’t they be? I’ll ignore the fact that their QB should be in jail or out of the league, but different rules for different positions in the NFL. Always has been, and always will be.

I will even cheer for the Bears to beat the Jets. God, that would be my nightmare scenario. Marinelli and Martz hoisting the Lombardi trophy. Yuck.

Just because butt Favre isn’t playing for them any more. Won’t root for Da bears because of Martz and I don’t root for the AFC unless it’s a huge underdog and not named Steelers, Colts, Jets, Patriots…..

I hate Farve and the thought of the Packers winning the SB without him is just priceless!!!

I also don’t want to sound like a homer but why do I have a feeling if Stafford was healthy the entire season Detroit very well could be going to Chicago to play in this game… Oh well more hope for next year…

And the Packers and Steelers play good ball. The Jets do sometimes, but they’re rather obnoxious. And the Bears aren’t really all the good. I think the Pack is gonna stomp ‘em. So I’m calling for a Pitt.-GB final.

Isn’t it nice though to see that the Lions play 3 out of the 4 teams and beat the Packers once and almost had them the other time, Beat the Bears once (I’m still in denial) and should have the 2nd time and had the Jets beat, but blew it. Not a single blow out. Thats a good step in the right direction.

Followed by the Steelers, then Bears and finally stadium implosion. If the Packers or Bears win then when we beat them next year we can say that we beat the champs. I wouldn’t hate if the Steelers won but I don’t want to see Larry Foote anywhere near the trophy.

I get hating big Ben and can’t argue against being jealous, but I love the way they run their franchise. They aren’t perfect but they’ve had 3 head coaches in about 40 years, they draft well and they don’t over pay free agents.
I also kinda want the Bears to win only because it’ll make the two weeks leading up to the Super Bowl more fun where I live. I have no problem reminding Bears fans that they shouldn’t even be there and next season the Lions will leave no doubt! Seriously, you can’t luck your way to the Conference Championship, but if you could then without question the Bears have done that. Along with “the catch” they also won 4 road games against teams starting a third string quarterback and their one playoff win came against the lone sub .500 team in playoff history. Even the local radio guys acknowledge that the Bears have had an unparralled amount of luck through out their season. So, I suppose the part of me that knows they don’t belong is out weighed by how entertaining it would be to listen to the hype and then watch Martz revert to his all pass ways in the Super Bowl and see the Bears get destroyed while walking away feeling like they must give Lovie & Co. another extension.

Who cares who wins I just want to see better games then i seen this weekend. I mean really NE stunk, ATL stunk, SEA stunk. I want to see some quality football!

With Greg Jennings being a WMU alum and the fact that I hate all of the other teams with a passion, I hope the Packers win it all.

Voted Steelers- only team that the Lions didn’t get to play in the regular season.

Ok- The Lions split the season match-up with the Packers. Without the “Process of the Catch” ruling, they split with the Bears (and got jobbed in the second game as well). They did this without Matt Stafford. They also took the Jets to OT, with Stafford getting injured late in the game & they lost their kicker for the season. Can’t really count Suh as legitimate field goal threat in overtime & if he makes that extra point the Lions win. Just sayin’.

The thing is, this Lions team isn’t that far off from being a playoff contender. If you have a healthy quarterback and 20 year veteran kicker doesn’t get rolled up on and you’re looking at probably 2 more wins and the wildcard in the NFC. Add in the CJ process call going the right way and its a 9-7 season. Imagine the momentum change that one call would have made to the confidence of this team.

Sure, in the Packers win Rodger got hurt. Don’t forget to factor in that the Lions were playing without their starter, too. Hell, they were playing without some key starters on defense. Bottom line, this Lions team is closer than we thought coming into the season. I’m looking forward to the draft & next season.

I have to go with the Packers. They have sensible fans, we beat them, and they arent the bears or jets.

Traditonally, the loser of the super bowl does poorly the following season (mainly due to the loss of players and coaches now that their value is at its peak). I’m not worried about the bears and don’t care about the afc teams. I just want our divisional rivals to regess nest year, that and there to be football next year

..but I know some quality Packers fans and besides Rodgers, I don’t really mind their team all that much. I base my dislike for a team based on how much damage they do to the Lions, the shit they say about Detroit, and what their players do off-field.

1. Bears crippled our franchise QB two seasons straight. I fucking hate them for this. Chicago fans are classless douches and I am impressed with their team’s play this season but have serious doubts about their title contention. I don’t think they’ll get it done. I don’t think many people do either, except their fans.

2. The Jets talk an amazing amount of shit, have Bart Scott on their roster, have Rex Ryan belching out tall tales and an incredible volume of bullshit almost weekly. I have less faith in this team’s ability to win a trophy than the Bears. Biggest pretenders in the bunch. I will relish and enjoy their failiure. It’s overdue. Fuck the Jets, fuck them right out of the AFC title game.

3. The Steelers have Hines Ward, Ben Raplesthesberger, and an amazing amount of latch-on, bandwagon, pussy fans who lack the balls to root for the teams where they are actually from… including a good size contingent from Michigan. Fuck you all. It’s only a matter of time until your gray-penis Quarterback drags another woman into a bathroom stall and misses another quarter of a season. I never wanna hear you bitches bitching about the refs, because Goddell cut you a real nice plea bargain deal with graymember.

But the Packers flushed Brett Favre down the toilet and have been pretty badass ever since, the vindication of Ted Thompson really impressed the hell out of me. That team is good and it was sweet as fuck to see the Lions bang out their QB and hold them to no TDs scored that day. Score settled for the year 2010. I have to root for the Packers, and I will enjoy seeing Suh tear into that shit talker Rodgers next season.

This is a fucked up post season. I was rooting for the Falcons.

I don’t like any of them, but I just don’t want the Steelers to even make it to the playoffs. My gf’s mother is a huge Steelers fan, and something about that makes me not like them at all.

Which is strange, because in the 90s, they were that team that was the Lions biggest rival, to the point where you can almost point to a single game from which the Lions star faded, and Green Bay elevated to Super Bowl Champions. You’d think I’d hate them for that.

I think what happened was that I concentrated all that hate mostly on one guy, Favre, and so when he got booted, in the third year of his will he or won’t he retire diva routine, I stopped hating the Packers then.

Besides, I was an Aaron Rodgers fan before he got on the field, the kid ‘did it the right way’, waited his turn and kept his mouth shut, and then let his play do the talking. (A couple of fantasy football championships with him leading the way don’t hurt, either.) Watching him match Favre’s Super Bowl would be satisfying.

Not to mention that the Packers rolling to the Super Bowl would make for some good partying over on this side of Lake Michigan. So, here’s to the Bears not screwing that up, the way the Giants did a few years ago, the last time Green Bay made it to the NFC Championship game.

I hate the Steelers most,then Bears,Jets,Packers.The funny thing is this is my hate list of all of the football teams not just playoff teams.uugghh!!

We beat them so we could say we beat the superbowl champs.

The rest of those teams can go eat a dick

I’ll do it with my arms crossed and a scowl on my face. As one of the 5 lions fans here in Maryland (literally), the hatred of the steelers seeps into your bones. I think it is something in the water. So for me it’s pack all the way. They just seem to win in a clean respectable way, plus we beat them (I will absolutely hang my hat on that)

I have always thought that Rodgers never got enough respect, I envy the football culture that a small town like GB has, and they have great, but classy, players like Woodson, Matthews and Finley.

Obviously, as a division rival, there’s a ceiling as to how much I can like them, but they are an extremely well-run franchise, and I respect that. The same goes for the Steelers.

That’s why my ideal situation would be Packers over Steelers. The opposite, Jets over Bears, would possibly be the worst thing to happen to football.

cause for the last 7 years, it’s either been the Colts, the Steelers, or the Patriots in the Super Bowl, and it will be nice to see two completely different teams in it.

I’m gonna root for the Packers to win the game, because we won the season series with them, by outscoring them by 2 points.

1. I hate, hate, hate, hate the Bears, and living in Chicago doesn’t help that.

2. I despise the Jets and their classless approach to the game.

3. I can’t root for a team with Ben Roethilisberger on it.

4. I wouldn’t mind seeing an NFC North team win it.

5. I actually kind of like Aaron Rogers.

I am definitely a Packers fan for the remainder of these playoffs. I hate teams without sportsmanship and class.

The Jets are a bunch of egomaniac children that can’t shut up and play the game.
The Steelers have a rapist for their starting quarterback, and a ridiculously offensive fan base
The Bears have Culter and Martz, ’nuff said.

The only team left with class that also has played well enough to deserve to win is the Packers.

BTW, I don’t root against the Spartans even though I am a Michigan man. I have a simple set of rules.

1) The top of the heap are the Lions, Red Wings, Tigers, Pistons, and Wolverines

2) If none of the top teams are in the game root for the team from the state of Michigan

3) I used to root for teams from Pittsburgh in this spot because my dad was from Pittsburgh, but the Pittsburgh fan base has become so offensive that I no longer with to be associated with them or their teams.

4) If there are no teams from Michigan then I root for my other teams that I like:
New England or San Francisco in the NFL
Tampa Bay and Boston in the NHL
Pittsburgh and Arizona in MLB (not many bandwagon Pittsburgh idiots rooting for the Pirates now)
No backup teams in the NBA, I am not a huge basketball fan.
I also root for Penn State because my father did.

But wouldn’t mind a pack/jets game, so I can see the Jets lose on the big stage.

Chicago has no place even walking into Dallas’s stadium during the post-season, fuck em.

have always been my 2nd team. Think Rex Ryan is a genius

The only reason, is that I have a friend who is Incredibly HOT who is a Steeler Fan. She will be at our Superbowl Party, and if the Steelers win….. Maybe she will get really drunk, and make some bad decisions.

Let’s fast forward to the draft.
Hate the Jets
Hate the Bears
Dick Lebeau is cool
At least the Lions beat the Packers and gave Rodgers a head beating.

Lets see a slug fest between Pack and Steelers.
I will not root for any of the teams.
I would like to see “MyFaceisBurger” get smashed on
I’d like to see the Pack win by a broken play at the end of the game when the Steelers think they have it in the bag.

I loved watching Hester sense college exciting player.For the most part I have alot of respect for Urlacher as well. So I am pulling for DA bears. The Pack are second on my list when things get this bad I can only root for the division to represent well.

In fact I root for MSU when not playing Michigan most of the time.

Although I could never root for OSU or Notre Dame.

I am a Giants fan, and was really surprised to see the amount of support for the Pack. I hate the Jets, Steelers, and I can’t stand Jay Cutler

if that Calvin TD was called one, my Giants would be in the playoffs, not the Bears lol

Even though Ben is an idiot I believe in second chances. Jack Lambert, Mean Joe Greene, and Franco Harris endeared me to this team long ago, and they always have been, and always will be, mu 2nd team.

The Jets I just cant stand. Braylon and L. T. are the only ones on that team I remotely like. They pissed me off in the draft taking Kyle Wilson and John Connor, and then they just continued to piss me off more and more as the season went on. Not to mention that I think Sanchez is a big huge poofter.

The Packers I like, would not be heart broken if they won. I like Rodgers and all of the former Michigan connections.

The Bears, while I hate Cutler and Martz, I do like their defense and Rod Marinelli, so while it is not ideal, I could live with them winning it. Pretty cool that two NFC North teams are in the Conference Championship Game though :) Next year it will be the Lions!

that i hate worse than these four teams—maybe stick the patriots in there too.

we could have or did beat each of these teams.

i think packers are going to run away with this thing.

Count me among those that like their “brashness”… although that’s probably only because they’ve always been second class to the Giants, so I see them as somewhat of an underdog rising up. I also wouldn’t really mind the Pack so much. If they weren’t in the same division, I’d probably really like them.

One thing’s for sure though. Whatever the match up, I won’t want the stadium to implode 1/100 as much as I did for the Giants/Patriots Super Bowl.

I have to please my case. If the Lions were in it, of course I would root for them. And being a Native New Yorker hasn’t stopped me from wearing my Calvin Johnson jersey to the Giants game this past season- so why all the Jet-hating? One Super Bowl! That’s it! Why begrudge the Jets for getting there? They defeated the evil empire in New England- don’t they deserve some praise?
Gargen, you’re absolutely right; they aren’t the underdogs, even in their home city and state (which lies in New Jersey, in case you’ve never been here). C’mon, pride! I root for Honolulu blue- where’s the Jet-green love?

A SB win would guarantee an Angelo/Smith duo for at least three more years, in which time that defense would get that much older and slower. Martz will leave for another HC job, and maybe Tice as well, and those two cannot run a franchise without real coaches propping them up.

Packers and Steelers are the tolerable choices.

And I don’t think you guys get it because you’re not in the same division, but if we’re not getting smack for how much the Bengals suck or the bad ownership or the old “bengals are criminals” schtick, it’s “we got six rings, how bout you?” the last thing i want right now is to turn that six into a seven.

I will take the Bears winning the Super Bowl if it means I don’t have to put up with listening to Seven Rings. And my hatred for the Bears is right up there with the Steelers now. I will take a year of Rex Ryan’s bullshit if it means I don’t have to put up with the Steelers. I will take the Packers winning as I at least can respect them (unlike the Ravens, the Packers actually live up to their hype—injured).

and I must say a big fuck you to the Jets. I can’t stand those bunch of assholes, running their mouth like they’ve won Super Bowls when in reality they ain’t won shit yet.

I loved how Bill Bellicheck made Welker sit down on the first drive for his harmless and hilarious foot comments, yet Ryan’s fat classless ass didn’t sit any of his guys, many of whom said much, much worse then what Welker did.

Fuck Ryan and fuck the Jets. I’ve never seen a team so full of itself that has yet to accomplish a damn thing. I’m not crazy about the Steelers at all, but I’m hoping they bend the Jets over and give it to them in the ass. Fuckin’ Jets.

There is no way I could EVER cheer for the fuckin’ Packers to win PERIOD! Trust me, if you lived in the UP and had to listen to their prick-ass fans go on & on about them, you would also loath everything green & “gold”. I also hate the Jets-overrated cocky assholes.
So what I hope happens is the Steelers ream the Jets and then whether it is the Bears or the Packers in the Superbowl, the Steelers rout them 55-0! In no way am I a Steelers fan, but if I had to pick someone to win out of these four, at least I could drink a six-pack on Superbowl Sunday and not retch if they won.

but screw the Bears, Jets and Steelers.
