    Who are you rooting for after next week

    Let's assume what we are all thinking and the Steelers and coach .501 don't make it past round #1 again. Of course if they do this thread is moot because we will all still be rooting for the Steelers but let's assume the worst ...

    So who will you be pulling for and why?

    To me I would go as my top 3:

    1. Lions
    2. Vikings
    3. Bills

    The reason is simple. They all have never won and none of them are the Chiefs, Eagles or anyone associated with a Harbaugh.

    Bills v. Lions in the 'bowl.

    Happy with either team winning. Kinda leaning toward the Bills. Just a huge Josh Allen fan. Damn would I live to see him in the Black' n Gold.

    Lions. I have been a fan of theirs for a while now since moving here so many years ago.

    If the Steelers get knocked out in the wildcard round, I'll root for the Ravens.

    My AFC prediction:
    Bills, Ravens, Chargers advance. Chiefs/Ravens AFCCG. Chiefs win the AFC again.

    NFC: Eagles, Commanders, Vikings advance. Lions/Vikings NFCCG. Lions win the NFC.

    I know, going out on a limb. Both 1 seeds in the SB. Just a stupid prediction. Chiefs 3peat.

    That's who I'm hoping makes the Superbowl as well! I've got to pull for the Lions to win it all

    I just want to play spoiler at this point. We're not winning a Superbowl. Hell, we're probably not winning this weekend. But if we could somehow manage to knock the Rats out of the playoffs, that would be good enough for me.

    Re: Who are you rooting for after next week

    I can not cheer on a Harbaugh so there is that ....

    don't want Chiefs to win another so soon ....

    Houston doesn't have the team to go the distance that pretty much leaves Da' Bills

    who doesn't like Dan Cambell and his approach ? so Lions

    Lions vs Bills
    Kenny Pickett is who I though he was .. 4 teams in 5 years and traded twice in one off season

    Same for me. If the Steelers can't win it all, I would like to see a Lions vs Bills Super Bowl.

    I'm not throwing in the towel yet. I'm rooting hard for the team to reach down and throw the Ratbirds out on their asses and try to make a run.

    Tired of the Chiefs and the Swifty drama.

    my preference would be Vikings and Bills, and if the Vikings win maybe we get a chance at McCarthy.

    I like the Bills, but don't know if the NFL will allow a small market team to win it all.

    How many minutes after this week's blowout loss to the Ravens will Pickens declare he wants out of Pittsburgh?

    Is KC a large market?

    I'd be rooting for the Bills over the Vikings. 4 times Superbowl losers square off. After last night I don't think the Vikings have a chance. If Hurst come out of concussion protocol Ill predict Bils over Eagles. Detroit is certainly talented enough to get there, but I think Campbell is like Bill Cowher and he will continue to bump his head in the playoffs until he finally pushes through in a few years. Can't completely ignore the Rams. they could beat anybody.

    Yeah, that statement didn't make sense to me. Are we saying the NFL is scripted? Why bother watching then?

    same reason folks watch wrestling. It's entertainment.

    I don't think the NFL scripts plays or tells teams to throw INT's but the refs DEFINITELY influence the outcomes with calls. Watch how many times KC's tackles line up behind the center but it doesn't get called while their opponent gets called for the same formation. Baltimore was called for it 4 times in the opener and KC had a tackle in the same formation and it was never called.

    Rooting for the Lions. Their fan base has suffered with horrible teams for decades. They deserve to finally have a winner.

    Also, this would leave the Cleveland Browns as the only franchise that was in the NFL when the Super Bowl started never to get to the big game.
