So who are we rooting for?

Y.A. : 2/1/2015 1:58 pm
Like a lot of us I was originally for the Pats--would make the Giants the only team they couldn't beat. But now post #Deflategate I'm not so sure. Thoughts?

Not rooting for the Pats
Once a Giant, always a Giant...

BB was a Giant, so I'll pull for him. Plus I think deflate gate is ridiculous BS, and much ado about nothing.
Seahawks  
CRinCA : 2/1/2015 2:03 pm : link
Because I find Brady to be a smarmy fuck.

And I know I'm in the minority around here, but I don't like BB, despite what he may have done for the Giants in the past.

Boston, not only do I want the Patriots to lose, I want them to lose in a heartwrenching demoralizing manner - like XLII.

Though not quite in metro Boston  
old man : 2/1/2015 2:19 pm : link
see 'pjcas18'.
But I will still be happy with any other kind of Patriots loss
(especially now that there is a very convenient report that only 1 ball was a PSI under, the others just a few ticks{if that was originally mentioned deflategate is a non story}).
I agree with

Just can't do it. The Seahawks are the Eagles of the west, and I can't stand them...

But NOTHING tops NE losing another one.

Pats.

As much as the fans can be insufferable, there really will be something that the Pats can beat everyone, but will be 0-2 against Eli and the Giants. That bothers them to no end and it is fantastic

It just sounds better and they would be 4-0 / 0-2

I don't want to see a back to back winner. And since my brother is a Seahawks fan, I want to see him disappointed for all the shit talking he's done against the Giants.

Probably Patriots for me.  
idol-mind : 2/1/2015 3:05 pm : link
I'll be watching it with the same Pats fans who hosted me during Super Bowl XLII and XLVI, so I guess I owe them one.

I really don't care too much either way. I like the way the Seahawks play, but I wouldn't mind the Pats being unbeatable on a championship stage except when they play the Giants.

The matchup itself interests me, because the Giants won twice with a defense built around a pass rush. The Seahawks are built back to front, so I'm interested to see if that team design can have similar results.
I'm going for the Pats  
Hammer : 2/1/2015 3:06 pm : link
because I want the NY Gants to be the only blemish on Tom Brady's resume.

Bahahahaha
I'm in Boston the next two weeks, so I'd like to see Bostonians happy

arcarsenal : 2/1/2015 3:29 pm : link
I really have no issue with them. I'm not a Yankees fan so the Red Sox connection isn't there.. I don't know any obnoxious Pats fans. Them winning all the time annoys Jet fans. Bill's connection to the Giants. And I want the Giants to be the only team they couldn't beat. It makes us look better. Especially now.

I don't really hate Seattle or have anything against them either. Whoever wins I am not going to mind, really. Kind of a harmless SB for me.
Pats  
Phlegm : 2/1/2015 3:30 pm : link
I'm all Seshawked out. Then there's the Belichick connection.
And you gotta root for Julian Edelman. With a name like that he should be playing violin in a Symphony Orchestra, yet here he is in a Superbowl.
Plus we don't want to upset Gisele again.

gidiefor : Mod : 2/1/2015 4:06 pm : link
Not overly fond of the Pats either -- but I have two reasons to root for the Pats and zero reasons to root for the Hawks -

My family is all from the Boston Cape Cod area and while I tease them mercilessly about the Giants -- I have no fish to fry this year -- so I'm rooting with them --

then there's the Giants -- the Giant's wins agains the Pats seal the vaulted status of historic legend if the Pats win - and that would thrill me

Go Pats! -- and I have Pats 7 Hawks 2 in the club box this year ----

I want the only blemishes on the BB/TC Super Bowl record to be at the hands of the Giants.

I am rooting for Patriots to lose  
steve in ky : 2/1/2015 4:14 pm : link
Here are a few of the reasons

* With a win the Patriots would tie the Giants with four Super Bowl wins

* Personally tired of Brady

* Their fans are beginning to remind me of Cowboy fans

* Don't like cheaters even minor ones

* If everything was equal I usually would prefer the NFC win
I'm not really rooting for anyone  
Gman11 : 2/1/2015 4:25 pm : link
but I'd rather the Patriots win.

Marshawn Lynch is dick and the team has too many loudmouths, so I'd rather the Seahawks didn't win. However, if they do it's no big deal to me.
I liked how the Knicks's Lance Thomas answered

HGH and sound piping cheating. Much more effective than deflatin balls.

I can't beleive how many Giants fans are rooting for

the Patriots to tie the Giants with 4 Super Bowl victories.
I'm Still Somewhat Torn  
Trainmaster : 2/1/2015 4:33 pm : link
I'll likely somewhat be rooting more strongly against New England (not wanting them to get SB #4), but if NE wins, we'll have the "They can beat anyone but Coughlin/Eli" to fall back on.
Go Pats Go...  
Chris in Philly : 2/1/2015 4:35 pm : link
Belichick will always be a Giant to me.

Maximus, Esq. : 2/1/2015 4:40 pm : link
They can win 100 of them and as long as it's not against Giants we always have SB42 and 46 to hold over them. I'm also sick of the 12th man shit.
I don't care much either way.  
Rick5 : 2/1/2015 4:41 pm : link
I just hope it ends up being a decent game.
How in the world is them beating everyone but the Giants better  
steve in ky : 2/1/2015 4:48 pm : link
when doing so comes with them actually equaling the Giants in all time Super Bowl wins? Right now Giants are historically ahead of them, as a Giant fan I would like it to stay that way.

LOL, I don't care at all who anyone roots for I am just curious about someone's reasoning of how that is better for the Giants legacy. Someone like Chis in Philly is rooting for the Pats and his reason makes sense to me in that he views BB as a Giants so therefore is rooting for him, that's logical. The other reason how the Pats win is somehow better for the Giants legacy doesn't make any sense to me and I asked about it so what?
Fuck the seahawks

Sick of them bastards and the 12th man horseshit. I hope brady hangs 60 on them.

I cared.
The NFL started long before the Super Bowl  
Wuphat : 2/1/2015 5:51 pm : link
was a thing.

If the Patriots win and equal the number of Super Bowls the Giants have won, they still have a long way to go to equal the number of championships the Giants have won.
If Joe Montana Had Been 4-0 In Super Bowls  
Trainmaster : 2/1/2015 6:14 pm : link
except 0-2 against, say, the Raiders or if Terry Bradshaw had been 4-0 in Super Bowls, except 0-2 against, say, the Redskins (yuck) or Eagles (double yuck), don't you think that would enhance the reputation of the teams that had beaten otherwise undefeated coaches and QBs?

I'm still rooting more strongly against the Patriots for the reasons many have stated (keep them from 4 Super Bowl wins), but a "consolation prize" will be the 4-0, 0-2 argument.
Hawks  
djm : 2/1/2015 6:28 pm : link
If they win they'd only have two Super Bowl titles. Pats already have 3 they need to stay there. And there's just something irritatingly annoying about the pats. Fuck them.
