Default Help me out here - who do I root for next week?

1. I am traditionally an AFC guy.

2. On one hand, I find myself with a sense of respect for the Steelers, perhaps as a result of our recent battles with them for AFC supremacy.

3. On the other hand, I also have a little distaste for the Steelers because of past comments made by Joey Porter, Kordell Stewart, Hines Ward, et al, that kind of disrespected the Pats.

4. The Seahwaks have two kids of former Pats - Hasselbeck & Tatupu. I could root for THEM.

5. I can't stand Mike "The Walrus" Holmgren!

Oh, well, at least I can go to a Super Bowl party this year.

The past two years, I have had to turn down invitations because I must watch the Pats alone in my living room with my daughter (who is also a "die-hahd")...

I just posted a thread at the same time as yours. As far as the previous Steeler comments , they have already paid the price for them.

You sound as if you are looking for the same thing I am. That is someone that you want to lose- not win.

Keep the faith- this week is media time and someone will come out with something that will blow us away. Then we will have what we are looking for- a team that we want to lose.

I'm rooting for the Seahawks because they've never won a SB, and as we all know the first one's the best.

i do. and then after it was afc-nfc, those games still had a little zing to the. like up to 1975.
i root for the afc champion.
yeah, the steelers talk at lotta $h!t. it'll be nice to see them direct it toward the seahawks.
i actually like the steelers. IMO patriots-steelers games are fun to watch because of the intenssity on the field. it also seems to me that altho the teams don't like each other, they respect each other.

I have to go for the Seahawks........
Firstly, from everything I have heard, they are nice guys not at all like those brash, loud mouth Steelers. THAT is reason enough!!
But having to sons of Ex-Patriot players in the game is really another big reason to do want Seattle to win.
When was the last time that area got any kind of championship?? Going back to the Sonics..years ago....so????
Steelers, first team to win a SB from a WIld Card?? No, the Patriot team of 85 got there..and no reason why this Steeler team should do any better.
Do you any of you wish to have those loud mouth Steeler fans even louder and more repulsive?? With a Steeler win they will be.
Think of all the Steeler trolls that have been on the board..do you remember all that many loud mouth Hawk fans in 04 when they played??
You wish to root for a dirty team like the Steelers,,,Bill Cowher and all his smirks?? PLus, Seattle is the under dog....Any good reason to root for the Steelers?? I see few reasons.

There's only one AFC team I care about and Pitts ain't it.

It's difficult to envision any non Patriots team winning. I'm not a big fan of Holmgren but the Seahawks winning would be more easy to deal with for me. The only thing is, Holmgren would become the first coach ever to win two SB with two different teams. In some people's minds that could push him past Belichick. I guess I'm undecided too. Cowher winning is safe - for now anyway.

I have a lot of respect for the Steelers' toughness and persistence and sort of like some of the characters on that team. i also have great respect for their fans, who are some of the most passionate in the NFL. That being said, I think it's important that they NOT win the Super Bowl, which could instill confidence for future title runs and legitimize Cowher's legacy. I'm pulling for Seattle and hope they win big.
