THE Game to watch on the bye week - Dolphins at Jets - Who you rooting for? - Page 6 - New England Patriots Forums

67-1-4-4 Kinda looks like this....

Im rooting for the Dolphins. They have faced a insane schedule and have fought hard. (I wish the Skins could somehow get Bill Parcells) The Dolphins have earned my respect. Even if they run that stupid wildcat.

I do gotta disagree with the thread title. I know this is a Pats forum but the game to watch this week is Brett Favre in Viking purple stepping into Lambeau Field to play the Packers for the first time in his career.

IMO its between this game and the Pats/Saints MNF game for Game of the Year.

Well, there are very logical reasons to root for the Doo-fins, such as JETS are closer to us in divisional standings, and all the other divisional implications right now. I'd even say, you can agrue that it's logical to root for a Jetss in a hard fought game that takes a lot out of the fins and leaves them vulnerable to us 1 week later.

But quite honestly, the primary reason I'm rooting against the JETS is because my deep-seeded hatred for them has reached unhealthy levels. I detest them with every ounce of my being. Don't get me wrong, I have a health hate-on for the phins too, but the two don't compaire. My hate for the Jets surpases my hate for the Yankees (and that is saying something).

Also note how I said rooting against the Jets, not FOR the Doo-fins. I won't be whipping out the orange and aqua pom poms on Sunday thats for sure. I'll just say....... I hope the Jets lose, and leave it at that.

you, my good friend, are wrong about one important thing...your hatred is NOT unhealthy....in fact it is a sure sign that your are in as robust and tip top shape as is possible.It's all in your mind....EMBRACE YOUR HATE.

You should list "injuries" as an option

I voted who gives a damn but if I had to chose I'm rooting for the phins. I think at 2-4 the phins already have shown they won't be in the hunt for the division and if the jets fall to 4-4 they will be put in a tough spot and wouldn't be able to afford a loss to the pats later in the year. Plus we need a bigger lead on everyone as the toughest part of our schedule aproaches us.

I think the main allure of fantasy football is being able to tell everyone in a room during a football party why you want the Patriots to beat the Colts but you need Peyton to throw 5 TDs in the process because the guy you are playing against had a lucky week.

Fantasy football ruins fandom, seriously.
