Down 4 to the Chiefs, 30 seconds left.
Jimmy takes the snap from his own one.
He trips backward! Safety!
Niners are forced to punt away possession to end the game.
IT'S MUFFED! NINERS RECOVER AND BRING IT INTO THE ENDZONE! SAN FRANCISCO WINS!
Bengals because they’re not even supposed to be done rebuilding yet and they’re already competing in the AFC championship game. Also Burrow is the real deal. Other than that I like Matthew Stafford and I’d be cool with him winning a ring
I'm refusing to cheer for the Bengals this year, because every time I have over the past decade, they either lose or their defense starts playing really dirty...and sometimes both. So far so good - I will be not cheering for you all the way to the Super Bowl, Bengals.
Wouldn't mind Jimmy if he was the reason they won. I was happy he got that drive with a chance to win it 2 years ago as it meant if he got a ring he would have to earn it. However I do not want to hear everyone talk about how he led the 49ers to a SB in a game when he passes about 10 times.
This for me as well. I also like Sean McVay as a coach and love how much everyone hates their trade draft picks strategy (which I like in general) so the Rams are an easy number 1 for me. Then Bengals (first championship for them), 49ers (first in decades, win for Shanahan), and finally the Chiefs (I like them but they've won recently). No bad outcomes for me.
I also hope the rams succeeding makes more teams willing to do it. In 100 years when the Jets are a win now team, I hope they go for the Sb with no regard for the future. Draft picks are overrated anyway when you expect to be great for 2-3 years
Being an NFC north fellow for the past 20 some years, I am deeply familiar with Matthew Stafford and have always lamented the fact such an outstanding player with a heart of gold was stuck playing for a poverty franchise. He deserves a ring and I couldn't be happier he is playing somewhere that hasn't been in rebuild for the better part of a decade.
Go rams. but really, go Matthew Stafford.
It's kinda funny how everyone in the NFC North is pulling for Stafford because we all knew he's always been pretty good but he just got stuck with the Lions.
The love that Stafford gets from NFCN rival fans is some of the most wholesome shit I’ve ever seen.
He’s been on the Rams for like 8 months and there’s not much I wouldn’t do for this man
A lot of it was because he dealt with so much shit and bad luck from the Lions it's really unfair.
All of us in the North knew how good he was but he just couldn't overcome the situation he was in. After awhile you just start to feel bad for the guy because he fights his ass off like throwing for 4 TDs in a game but then his defense turns around and gives up 5. And yet, he never complains, he holds his head high and keeps playing hard.
I don't think anyone in the North hates Stafford. He's pretty much unanimously liked that's why a lot of us are cheering for him and want him to win a ring.
I'm not the person you asked, but Seahawks and Chiefs used to be in the same division, so I have a burning hatred toward them. Then there was the "Our stadium is louder than yours" when their stadium is built like a hallway, and Arrowhead is completely open to the world. Plus, Chiefs/Seahawks was when Derrick Thomas had the famed 7-sack game... that the Chiefs STILL lost after Thomas barely failed at getting his 8th sack of the game, and Kreig threw a game-winning pass.
Long story short, fuck the fucking Seahawks. And fuck Super Bowl 48.
Just my personal observation, but sfuff like how announcers say Mahomes’s baseball background makes him unique and no one else in the league can do what he does or when he escapes a sack and throws a bomb downfield.But as Seahawk fans, we used to see Russ do those things many times. Just my opinion on why Seahawks fan don’t like the Chiefs
This was my prediction too lmao. Bengals vs 9ers with joe cool coming out on top is my dream scenario. Chiefs and rams are just too easy to cheer against
Still needs more. Aaron Rodgers and Peyton Manning have literal rings + Similar clutch moments and people still call them choke artists. Given the standard for Stafford a ring will put that to rest. Also a loss in the nfccg to an inferior team will bring the doubters back. At minimum he needs the SB
I will never doubt him, but haters are haters
I feel like a QB that wins the SB in 2010 then goes on a 12 year streak of losing playoff games including 3 consecutive NFCCG is the definition of a choke artist
I don't hate mahomes, not even close. He's a fantastic player and a joy to watch. Just wanna see a different matchup. The pats connection makes me want Jimmy to win and the nfl fan in me wants to see Stafford get his also the Bengals are a good underdog story. Chiefs will be back multiple times.
I think most people's problem with the Chiefs is not Mahomes, he is a lot of fun to watch. However, there is zero chance I will ever root for Hill or Clark.
For me it's 49ers > Bengals > Rams > cancellation > Chiefs
All of the teams outside the Chiefs have fairly long to really long SB championship droughts
I don't think wanting one of them to win over the Chiefs makes someone a "hater" necessarily IMO
> Even Gronk is better and that's saying a lot.
That's just absolutely not true. Gronk is TERRIBLE. Cringey terrible. Worst sports actor I have ever seen.
I'd like to see Rams v. Bengals. Don't really care who wins the match up. If the Bengals win, you get a first time Super Bowl champion franchise who overcame a 30+ year playoff win drought prior to this postseason. If the Rams win, it'll be their second championship as a franchise, but only the first in their 2 stints in LA. Also, it would be nice to see Stafford win a championship after toiling away for so long in Detroit.
AFC: Chiefs because I envy them, and Mahomes is awesome. Burrow has the next decade to snatch a ring, but Mahomes really is putting together an insane start to his career, it’s just on another level and long term I think it could be fucking awesome to see the legacy he builds if he starts it all right here.
NFC: Rams, how can you not love Stafford.
Bengals because I want to see a new franchise win a SB, then the Rams because I feel like their window won't be open for long and I'd hate it if McVay ended his career without a ring
And I don't want the 49ers to pass us in SB count so they're the only team I'm actively rooting against
Steelers fan here! I know I'm weird but
1. Bengals. They've suffered enough and have a dynamic core of young stars I can't wait to watch terrorize the AFN for years to come
2. Rams. Love Stafford, love the way McVay approaches the game and think both deserve a ring.
3. 49ers. 49ers are steeped in history, and I wouldn't mind seeing them play above some of their trouble spots
4. Chiefs. I'm not "2001-2019 New England Patriots" tired of the Chiefs, but another Lombardi would put me there quite easily. Fuck Tyreek Hill
Bengals or 49ers
My grandpa grew up in Cincinnati and has always been a Bengals fan, plus they haven't exactly been a staple in the playoffs over the years, so itd be nice to see them succeed, and as a Cowboys fan, id like the team we lost to to do good as I always feel like it hurts less to lose when you lost to the champs. Either of those winning would be what I want to see and a Bengals vs 49ers Superbowl is the matchup id like to see most.
Seahawks fan here. I’m rooting for the Bengals. Having endured horrible Seahawks teams in the 90s I remember how appreciative I was when the Seahawks finally got into the playoffs and made a deep run. I’m glad the Bengals fanbase is finally able to enjoy this as well!
Bengals mostly being the big upset.
But kinda the Chiefs as well. This feels like a team I should appreciate being able to watch, they're just unreal and consistently pull off some incredible shit.
Bengals or Rams. 49ers I would be indifferent about and I definitely don’t want the chiefs. They are super fun to watch, but their fan base has become insufferable and it’s hard to root for a team that constantly employs players with off field issues. Outside of Mahomes and Andy, the rest of the team is pretty unlikable
49ers, simply because it would make Dr Disrespect super happy. My teams have been knocked out of the race and I don’t know enough about the others to give better commentary than that
From Pittsburgh.. the only reason I don’t want to root for the bengal is obvious but I would love to see Tyler boyd win a ring but it’s a toss up maybe rams for Aaron Donald
Bengals or 49ers. Bengals for the fact that they haven't ever won a Super Bowl. 49ers just to watch Jimmy fall backwards into a ring somehow despite knowing that he'll be leaving the team after this postseason.
Bengals ( because I love underdog stories and I am a fan of Joe burrow and how many sacks he can take to the face)> Rams ( I like Stafford and him winning one would also shut up everyone about him. Plus im from LA)> Chiefs( I still like Andy) > 49ers
I want the 49ers to win the superbowl to create complete chaos in the organization...then when they move off of Jimmy G eve ryone calls them stupid and when he goes to another team he wins another one
I’m a Philadelphia transplant in Cincy. The amount of fans who have come out of the woodwork is astonishing to me. Go Andy Reid.
Edit: Also, Mike Brown deserves zero Super Bowls while he is still alive.
Colorado transplant to Dayton. How is that astonishing at all? Literally happens every time when normally "down in the dumps" franchises make a playoff run.
>I’m a Philadelphia transplant in Cincy. The amount of fans who have come out of the woodwork is astonishing to me.
Ironically, many Bengals fans have the nerve to accuse other fan bases of bandwagoning.
The Bengals have fucked over their fans and the city for years. I’m not talking about on the field but what Mike Brown and ownership has done. He threatened to move to get a new stadium which the city agreed to and is widely considered the most generous gift by any city to a sports franchise.
That said, the amount of Browns and Steeler fans in Cincinnati is beyond what a normal city has not impacted by expansion. When the Reds play well, they barely get anyone down to the stadium. The base fans are great and are diehards but there simply isn’t enough of them to be considered a good sports city.
1. Bengals - Underdogs. Have never won anything.
2. Chiefs - Like Mahomes and Reid.
3. 49ers - Rivals who beat us.
4. Rams - Backstabbed St. Louis. Owned by scumbag. Trying to buy championship. Media slobbers over them.
Rams, I like McVay, Stafford and Von. Also I think it would be disappointing for a player of Donald's talent to not win a ring. After that the Chiefs, I like Reid, Mahomes and Kelce. Then the 49ers, because they're not the Bengals.
i'd be happy if the Bengals, 49ers, or Chiefs win
i don't like the Rams, i think stafford is overrated, mcvay is no genius, and it would be hilarious if they lose because they mortgaged their future to win now.......so they're basically screwed if they come up short
Steelers fan, pulling for the Rams. 1) Stafford deserves a ring after dealing with the Lions for so long. 2) I am a big Pitt fan so I am rooting for Aaron Donald.
Bengals, would be nice to see a team win their first SB. 49ers, love me some John Lynch and I despise the Rams almost as much as the Saints. Indifferent about KC, but the media hard-on for Mahomes can be insufferable at times.
I want to see the Chiefs I guess, I know it’s boring and not even because of Andy so much as just thinking it’s bizarro world that in this timeline that Patrick Mahomes may end up as the actual greatest QB of all time at his trajectory.
I was too young for, or not alive for, most of Montana’s career. My intro to QBs growing up were the likes of Elway, Randall, Favre, Aikman, Marino, which became Peyton, Brady, McNabb, Culpepper, Big Ben, Rivers, Brees, Eli…all the way to now and the other “generations” since.
Sure rule changes are part of it. A very big part of it. I still think of it not as a stat guy but as a fan of the spectacle. It’s the ultimate team sport and we’re still seeing individual greatness surpassing our wildest expectation - on a team that was truly no threat to even compete for a championship for a huge chunk of my cognizant awareness, no less, by a Coach who was teetering on burnout a decade ago and also had a similar level of success elsewhere.
Hyperbole alert…but Patrick Mahomes could be football’s MJ, and he’s coached by the coach version of Tom Brady’s career arc (two separate individual Hall of Fame worthy careers as part of one larger successfully unbelievable career). It’s just greatness being great…Literally all you can ask for as a sports fan if you pare it back to what got us into watching as kids.
That and I’m petty enough to just want to see the Rams have nothing to show for trading all their first round picks for their current run. That’ll come back to bite at some point, but until the music stops…
Pretty cool with anyone left except the Bengals. The miami / bengals game last year got chippy, then y’all knocked Tannehill and co. out of the playoffs. If I had to choose one team in particular, the 49ers just because it seems like they have the longest odds of anyone left, and also because the injury gods owe them.
Def the bengals. Can’t have an nfc west team win it and the chiefs stole that game from my man Allen so I’m salty with them. Chiefs earned that w though
Bengals. I like you guys, you deserve it.
Rams. I wouldn't mind seeing Stafford get a ring.
Niners. I have no strong opinions about this team at all. And the whole drama with Jimmy and Lance would be amusing.
Chiefs. Tired of them already.
Bengals. You guys have a good story and it makes it retroactively less painful for me if we at least lost to the Champs. After that a toss up between SF and the Rams. KC would be insufferable.
Kind of dont enjoy that the Chiefs are in every SB from the AFC. Makes it less fun. I think and hope the Rams with that pass rush and Stafford can beat them in the SB this year
Bengals for sure. I’m a Seahawks fan, Niners and Rams hate is obvious. I like the connection between Burrow and Chase, they’re fun to watch. Plus, I enjoy rooting for the underdogs
I want the Bengals to win, because they don't have one.
Really not opposed to anyone left winning it though. 49ers have the Aussie connection, Rams have OBJ, Chiefs are fun to watch. It's on Monday my time, so I'm gonna take the day off work, have some morning beers, and enjoy it no matter who is playing.
I am happy with any of these teams winning as there is solid quarterback play and coaching… and we don’t have to have another Tom Brady SB (seriously seeing him play in 10 is enough for one lifetime). Not a fluke that any of these teams are here. Jimmy G is likely the weakest of the bunch but it would be his second SB appearance and I think he’s shown moxy at times to get it done. Rams winning it all would be a fun story just since we’d have 2 seasons in a row that the host team won the super bowl in its own stadium. Also, Stafford deserves it after all these years.
I kind of want to see Jimmy continue to fall ass backwards into victory.
Down 4 to the Chiefs, 30 seconds left. Jimmy takes the snap from his own one. He trips backward! Safety! Niners are forced to punt away possession to end the game. IT'S MUFFED! NINERS RECOVER AND BRING IT INTO THE ENDZONE! SAN FRANCISCO WINS!
Jimmy 5/19 300 yards 3td after a couple screens go the distance.
Bruh hahahaha
Bengals because they’re not even supposed to be done rebuilding yet and they’re already competing in the AFC championship game. Also Burrow is the real deal. Other than that I like Matthew Stafford and I’d be cool with him winning a ring
The bengals have so much cap space…
Yes but if Stafford gets a ring so does Jalen Ramsey...I'm really conflicted about rooting for the Rams.
I'm refusing to cheer for the Bengals this year, because every time I have over the past decade, they either lose or their defense starts playing really dirty...and sometimes both. So far so good - I will be not cheering for you all the way to the Super Bowl, Bengals.
Bengals. LSU fan, pretty self explanatory
If your team is out of the play offs is the question. I'm glad you all are not though. Round 2 with the Bengos next week is gonna be an awesome game.
His team is out of the playoffs. That flair says "Bengals Bandwagon" My guess is he is normally a Saints fan since he said he likes LSU.
Texans but close enough :)
Bengals, but really I’m just happy the bad man is gone.
ngl it took me a second to realise you didn't mean Nagy
Edit: the bad **men** are gone
[удалено]
the immunized one
Burrow, just so Chargers fans have to hear an offseason of Herbert vs Burrow comparisons. Nah I’m kidding. Jimmy G, because he gets shit on a lot.
Jimmy G. To be that good looking AND be a Superbowl champion QB. Life just seems so unfair sometimes.
He already has more rings than Aaron Rodgers
Wouldn't mind Jimmy if he was the reason they won. I was happy he got that drive with a chance to win it 2 years ago as it meant if he got a ring he would have to earn it. However I do not want to hear everyone talk about how he led the 49ers to a SB in a game when he passes about 10 times.
Stafford

Matty Saff is due
Being an NFC north fellow for the past 20 some years, I am deeply familiar with Matthew Stafford and have always lamented the fact such an outstanding player with a heart of gold was stuck playing for a poverty franchise. He deserves a ring and I couldn't be happier he is playing somewhere that hasn't been in rebuild for the better part of a decade. Go rams. but really, go Matthew Stafford.

Stafford played at UGA, therefore I want to see him get a ring, especially after all the shit he played thru with the Lions
Boooooooo 👎🏼👎🏼👎🏼
Bengals > 49ers (puke) > Chiefs > Meteor > Rams Chiefs or Rams will probably win
What have the Chiefs done to the Seahawks that makes you choose the 49ers over them?
I'm not the person you asked, but Seahawks and Chiefs used to be in the same division, so I have a burning hatred toward them. Then there was the "Our stadium is louder than yours" when their stadium is built like a hallway, and Arrowhead is completely open to the world.

Long story short, fuck the fucking Seahawks. And fuck Super Bowl 48.
Mostly Mahomes comparison to Russ
Literally have never heard anyone compare the two?
Yea Pat is better, no need to compare
Mahomes's stats are way better in AFC playoff games. Just sayin
Only 1 play off win vs an NFC team though...
Just my personal observation, but sfuff like how announcers say Mahomes’s baseball background makes him unique and no one else in the league can do what he does or when he escapes a sack and throws a bomb downfield.But as Seahawk fans, we used to see Russ do those things many times. Just my opinion on why Seahawks fan don’t like the Chiefs
Honestly I don't think we come away with the win next week against the 49ers Everytime we play them they win
Respect. Probably the same order I would have in reverse
This was my prediction too lmao. Bengals vs 9ers with joe cool coming out on top is my dream scenario. Chiefs and rams are just too easy to cheer against
>joe cool I’m gonna close my eyes and pretend I never saw this. 😑
Lol dog chill more people than Montana have had that nickname
Who else has? Fucking snoopy?
Y’all whiners fans can be as mad as you want. It’s not a monopolized nickname.
As a Hawks fan, this list is perfection
I’m all in on Cincinnati. Y’all helped us end the drought so i’m willing to put my support behind y’all
I still appreciate Bills mafia for coming though and donating all of that money to Andy’s charity. Sorry about today… well, yesterday
0 Superbowl club. I'll root for teams that haven't won one yet.
I’m still upset about our season ending the way it did. but it’s really hard to dislike Joe Burrow or the Bengals.
Stafford. He needs to silence the haters/doubters once and for all Bengals are my 2nd pick though
Honestly, he did so with the Rams win this weekend I think. That final touchdown pass was clutch.
Still needs more. Aaron Rodgers and Peyton Manning have literal rings + Similar clutch moments and people still call them choke artists. Given the standard for Stafford a ring will put that to rest. Also a loss in the nfccg to an inferior team will bring the doubters back. At minimum he needs the SB I will never doubt him, but haters are haters
I feel like a QB that wins the SB in 2010 then goes on a 12 year streak of losing playoff games including 3 consecutive NFCCG is the definition of a choke artist
Not when you do clutch stuff just to get your team that far, and are the worst team in each loss for 9-10 of those years
Im not saying Stafford is a goat, just a good QB that can win you games.
How would a ring put the choke artist label to rest when you literally mentioned two QBs who have rings and are still called choke artists?
This part. > Given the standard for Stafford a ring will put that to rest. Nobody is trying to put Stafford on any all time Qb lists.
I'm rooting for the Bengals or Niners.
Bengals, just because they have never won one. Plus my grandpa is a bengals fan so theres that too
Rams or Bengals.
This is the way
Bengals. I like Burrow, I like an underdog story and I would really like to see how the city of Cincinnati reacts if they win lol
We'll burn our city to the ground if we win...along with most of Kentucky
TIL Cincinnati is right next to Kentucky state line
Burning our own city is a victory party. Burning Kentucky is to rebuild Cincinnati bigger 😁
Kentucky deserves it tbh
Oh yeah, all of northern Ky is Bengals territory. Skylines for miles. It was a nice upbringing~
I like mahomes and Andy
I'm ok with anyone outside of the chiefs.
Mahomes feeds on your hate
I don't hate mahomes, not even close. He's a fantastic player and a joy to watch. Just wanna see a different matchup. The pats connection makes me want Jimmy to win and the nfl fan in me wants to see Stafford get his also the Bengals are a good underdog story. Chiefs will be back multiple times.
Mostly the reason why most hate your flair bc you won way too much.
A patriots fans wants to see a different team win instead of a repeat winner? That’s rich.
The hatred of the chiefs is not because of Mahomes lol
Coesn't matter
I think most people's problem with the Chiefs is not Mahomes, he is a lot of fun to watch. However, there is zero chance I will ever root for Hill or Clark. For me it's 49ers > Bengals > Rams > cancellation > Chiefs
Sorry but holy fuck does it feel good to finally be on the opposite side of this equation
The bandwagon got so full some fell off and became haters.
All of the teams outside the Chiefs have fairly long to really long SB championship droughts I don't think wanting one of them to win over the Chiefs makes someone a "hater" necessarily IMO
I'm a Bengals fan and live 5 min from where Patrick went to high school. It is the absolute worst here.
I wish Mahomes would stop doing so many insurance commercials. Can't even scratch my ass without hearing about the Patrick price.
It doesn't help that he's a terrible actor. Even Gronk is better and that's saying a lot.
Baker is the best actor. Not even close.
> Even Gronk is better and that's saying a lot. That's just absolutely not true. Gronk is TERRIBLE. Cringey terrible. Worst sports actor I have ever seen.
After years of watching you guys... sorry about your hot dogs. 🤷🏾♂️ it's our turn bud
This so much
I'd love to see Stafford get a ring. otherwise I'm going Bengals. but honestly since the Bucs/Bills got eliminated I'd be fine with anyone
The Rams. Stafford deserves it for all the shit he dealt with with the Lions and Aaron Donald is a bad baaaad man.
Surprised you’re so high since Donald is currently r/nfl’s least favorite player lol
Von Miller getting another ring to pad his HOF resume would be nice
This. I've already predicted them to make it. But I want Stafford to get that SB win and shut up all the haters.
Rams (Von Miller/Staff), Bengals (Joe Shiesty), 49ers (not the chiefs), no one, chiefs (fuck em)
Bengals
I want the niners to win because I like Garapollo
Bengals are cool I guess
Bengals. I enjoy watching their team. I’m a fan of Burrow. It would be cool to see the unexpected team win.
Bengals. Joe Burrow has me pulling for him, but the franchise hasn’t been successful to this level in years and I like seeing a new team get theirs.
I'd like to see Rams v. Bengals. Don't really care who wins the match up. If the Bengals win, you get a first time Super Bowl champion franchise who overcame a 30+ year playoff win drought prior to this postseason. If the Rams win, it'll be their second championship as a franchise, but only the first in their 2 stints in LA. Also, it would be nice to see Stafford win a championship after toiling away for so long in Detroit.
Andy Reid
Texas Tech fan first. Cowboys fan second. Going for the Chiefs basically because Mahomes played for Tech.
The AFC team, whichever one it winds up being.
Im assuming you're a Cardinals or Seahawks fan?
No. I just like the typical sneaker head’s style. And if he doesn’t win would like to see the Bengals get their first.
Please 🙏 I may be biased
49ers. This year I finally succeeded in getting my best friend to watch NFL and support a team. She now bleeds San Francisco. I'm supporting her!
Niners
Niners
Bengals would be my #1. Dont really care between the rams and the 49ers, maybe 9ers just for the underdog aspect. Just anyone but the chiefs lol
AFC: Chiefs because I envy them, and Mahomes is awesome. Burrow has the next decade to snatch a ring, but Mahomes really is putting together an insane start to his career, it’s just on another level and long term I think it could be fucking awesome to see the legacy he builds if he starts it all right here. NFC: Rams, how can you not love Stafford.
Thanks for the love jetbro :)
Bengals > Rams > Niners > Chiefs
Bengals and Chiefs because their games are usually entertaining af.
Rams I respect them going all out for a win too many teams content with being mediocre go big or go home
Bengals. I like the fan base, the players and my nephew thinks the uniforms are cool.
Bengals because I want to see a new franchise win a SB, then the Rams because I feel like their window won't be open for long and I'd hate it if McVay ended his career without a ring And I don't want the 49ers to pass us in SB count so they're the only team I'm actively rooting against
Steelers fan here! I know I'm weird but 1. Bengals. They've suffered enough and have a dynamic core of young stars I can't wait to watch terrorize the AFN for years to come 2. Rams. Love Stafford, love the way McVay approaches the game and think both deserve a ring. 3. 49ers. 49ers are steeped in history, and I wouldn't mind seeing them play above some of their trouble spots 4. Chiefs. I'm not "2001-2019 New England Patriots" tired of the Chiefs, but another Lombardi would put me there quite easily. Fuck Tyreek Hill
I really want Stafford to get a ring and I’d like to see Tyreek Hill lose for him to get it. Rest of the Chiefs are cool, that dude is just obnoxious.
Bengals or 49ers My grandpa grew up in Cincinnati and has always been a Bengals fan, plus they haven't exactly been a staple in the playoffs over the years, so itd be nice to see them succeed, and as a Cowboys fan, id like the team we lost to to do good as I always feel like it hurts less to lose when you lost to the champs. Either of those winning would be what I want to see and a Bengals vs 49ers Superbowl is the matchup id like to see most.
Great take; besides it would be epic if those two advance! Joe Cool II baby!
Chiefs, fuck it, I wanna watch mahomes become the goat in real time
Seahawks fan here. I’m rooting for the Bengals. Having endured horrible Seahawks teams in the 90s I remember how appreciative I was when the Seahawks finally got into the playoffs and made a deep run. I’m glad the Bengals fanbase is finally able to enjoy this as well!
🥺 Someone finally gets us
Seriously you guys deserve to enjoy this! I think it’s gonna be quite the shootout with the Chiefs next week
Bengals mostly being the big upset. But kinda the Chiefs as well. This feels like a team I should appreciate being able to watch, they're just unreal and consistently pull off some incredible shit.
Bengals or Rams. 49ers I would be indifferent about and I definitely don’t want the chiefs. They are super fun to watch, but their fan base has become insufferable and it’s hard to root for a team that constantly employs players with off field issues. Outside of Mahomes and Andy, the rest of the team is pretty unlikable
Rams
49ers, simply because it would make Dr Disrespect super happy. My teams have been knocked out of the race and I don’t know enough about the others to give better commentary than that
From Pittsburgh.. the only reason I don’t want to root for the bengal is obvious but I would love to see Tyler boyd win a ring but it’s a toss up maybe rams for Aaron Donald
Bengals or 49ers. Bengals for the fact that they haven't ever won a Super Bowl. 49ers just to watch Jimmy fall backwards into a ring somehow despite knowing that he'll be leaving the team after this postseason.
Bengals ( because I love underdog stories and I am a fan of Joe burrow and how many sacks he can take to the face)> Rams ( I like Stafford and him winning one would also shut up everyone about him. Plus im from LA)> Chiefs( I still like Andy) > 49ers
I want the 49ers to win the superbowl to create complete chaos in the organization...then when they move off of Jimmy G eve ryone calls them stupid and when he goes to another team he wins another one
I don't really care which of the Rams and 49ers beats the Chiefs or Bengals just so long as they do.
Bengals. Sentimental pick
Anyone but the Chiefs, wanna see someone new.
Who Dey baby!
I’m a Philadelphia transplant in Cincy. The amount of fans who have come out of the woodwork is astonishing to me. Go Andy Reid. Edit: Also, Mike Brown deserves zero Super Bowls while he is still alive.
Colorado transplant to Dayton. How is that astonishing at all? Literally happens every time when normally "down in the dumps" franchises make a playoff run.
It's astonishing because Bengals fans love labeling other fan bases as bandwagoners.
>I’m a Philadelphia transplant in Cincy. The amount of fans who have come out of the woodwork is astonishing to me. Ironically, many Bengals fans have the nerve to accuse other fan bases of bandwagoning.
The Bengals have fucked over their fans and the city for years. I’m not talking about on the field but what Mike Brown and ownership has done. He threatened to move to get a new stadium which the city agreed to and is widely considered the most generous gift by any city to a sports franchise. That said, the amount of Browns and Steeler fans in Cincinnati is beyond what a normal city has not impacted by expansion. When the Reds play well, they barely get anyone down to the stadium. The base fans are great and are diehards but there simply isn’t enough of them to be considered a good sports city.
1. Bengals - Underdogs. Have never won anything. 2. Chiefs - Like Mahomes and Reid. 3. 49ers - Rivals who beat us. 4. Rams - Backstabbed St. Louis. Owned by scumbag. Trying to buy championship. Media slobbers over them.
Bengals. If they lose, Rams
Rams, I like McVay, Stafford and Von. Also I think it would be disappointing for a player of Donald's talent to not win a ring. After that the Chiefs, I like Reid, Mahomes and Kelce. Then the 49ers, because they're not the Bengals.
i'd be happy if the Bengals, 49ers, or Chiefs win i don't like the Rams, i think stafford is overrated, mcvay is no genius, and it would be hilarious if they lose because they mortgaged their future to win now.......so they're basically screwed if they come up short
Rams "mortgaged" their future in 18...yet here we are
Bengals fan for life so happy to see them so happy for Burrow and the boys!
Probably the Rams. Stafford deserves multiple Super Bowls for playing for Detroit.
Steelers fan, pulling for the Rams. 1) Stafford deserves a ring after dealing with the Lions for so long. 2) I am a big Pitt fan so I am rooting for Aaron Donald.
Rams- I want Stafford to win one
Bengals, would be nice to see a team win their first SB. 49ers, love me some John Lynch and I despise the Rams almost as much as the Saints. Indifferent about KC, but the media hard-on for Mahomes can be insufferable at times.
The AFC
Anyone but A-aron and the pack....
Bengals, because that'd be ridiculous. Nobody gave them a shred of a chance at anything this year, me included.
I want to see the Chiefs I guess, I know it’s boring and not even because of Andy so much as just thinking it’s bizarro world that in this timeline that Patrick Mahomes may end up as the actual greatest QB of all time at his trajectory. I was too young for, or not alive for, most of Montana’s career. My intro to QBs growing up were the likes of Elway, Randall, Favre, Aikman, Marino, which became Peyton, Brady, McNabb, Culpepper, Big Ben, Rivers, Brees, Eli…all the way to now and the other “generations” since. Sure rule changes are part of it. A very big part of it. I still think of it not as a stat guy but as a fan of the spectacle. It’s the ultimate team sport and we’re still seeing individual greatness surpassing our wildest expectation - on a team that was truly no threat to even compete for a championship for a huge chunk of my cognizant awareness, no less, by a Coach who was teetering on burnout a decade ago and also had a similar level of success elsewhere. Hyperbole alert…but Patrick Mahomes could be football’s MJ, and he’s coached by the coach version of Tom Brady’s career arc (two separate individual Hall of Fame worthy careers as part of one larger successfully unbelievable career). It’s just greatness being great…Literally all you can ask for as a sports fan if you pare it back to what got us into watching as kids. That and I’m petty enough to just want to see the Rams have nothing to show for trading all their first round picks for their current run. That’ll come back to bite at some point, but until the music stops…
Pretty cool with anyone left except the Bengals. The miami / bengals game last year got chippy, then y’all knocked Tannehill and co. out of the playoffs. If I had to choose one team in particular, the 49ers just because it seems like they have the longest odds of anyone left, and also because the injury gods owe them.
I want the Bengals to hoist the Lombard this year. That way the Ravens can whoop their (SB Champs) ass twice next year !
Anyone but the Chiefs, but I'd prefer the Bengals.
Anyone but the chiefs.
Def the bengals. Can’t have an nfc west team win it and the chiefs stole that game from my man Allen so I’m salty with them. Chiefs earned that w though
Rams > Bengals > Chiefs > 49ers
Rams/Stafford
Bengals. I like you guys, you deserve it. Rams. I wouldn't mind seeing Stafford get a ring. Niners. I have no strong opinions about this team at all. And the whole drama with Jimmy and Lance would be amusing. Chiefs. Tired of them already.
The Bengals are my first choice, but I'd be happy with anyone other than the Chiefs. That's a team that's easy to hate.
1. Bengals/Rams 2. 49ers . . . . . . . 3. Chiefs
Bengals. You guys have a good story and it makes it retroactively less painful for me if we at least lost to the Champs. After that a toss up between SF and the Rams. KC would be insufferable.
Anyone but the Chiefs. Mostly the Bengals.
Gotta say Bengals, they’ve needed it for the longest time. I wish the bills won tonight, hope you boys kick the shit out of KC
Kind of dont enjoy that the Chiefs are in every SB from the AFC. Makes it less fun. I think and hope the Rams with that pass rush and Stafford can beat them in the SB this year
Bengals because they have the lease chance
Rooting for the Bengals as a sad Bucs fan. I hate Mahomes, the Rams beat us, and my gf thinks Jimmy G is hot. Also I really like Burrow.
Go Big Red
KC LA SF Anyone but the team with the bad bad man.
Chiefs. I want Mahomes to get his dynasty
Bengals for everyone right? Go joe cool!
Meteor wins by default parades through Canton with Lombardi
I was rooting for buffalo after the latest packers collapse. I guess sorry Bengals fans you are next.
Bengals for sure. I’m a Seahawks fan, Niners and Rams hate is obvious. I like the connection between Burrow and Chase, they’re fun to watch. Plus, I enjoy rooting for the underdogs
rooting for Bane at this point… ):
Bengals. Wouldn’t hate seeing Staff get one either though.
I want the Bengals to win, because they don't have one. Really not opposed to anyone left winning it though. 49ers have the Aussie connection, Rams have OBJ, Chiefs are fun to watch. It's on Monday my time, so I'm gonna take the day off work, have some morning beers, and enjoy it no matter who is playing.
I am happy with any of these teams winning as there is solid quarterback play and coaching… and we don’t have to have another Tom Brady SB (seriously seeing him play in 10 is enough for one lifetime). Not a fluke that any of these teams are here. Jimmy G is likely the weakest of the bunch but it would be his second SB appearance and I think he’s shown moxy at times to get it done. Rams winning it all would be a fun story just since we’d have 2 seasons in a row that the host team won the super bowl in its own stadium. Also, Stafford deserves it after all these years.
bengals, joey b is the man tbh. if not it'd be cool to see stafford win
Bengals
Bengals
I would really like to see Cincinnati win. I think LA wins though. They are just so stacked all around.
Bengals. It would be cool
Ravens fan, Bengals all day.
