If you're a Niners fan, why would you hate the Jets?
Anyhow, definitely didn't expect the Jets to make it this far but am totally glad they did. As an Eagles fan, I've come to terms with the fact that the Eagles are the Chargers of the NFC so I've adopted a few other teams that I root for, mostly AFC teams:
Niners - Loved this team before I loved the Eagles. Hopefully Alex Smith and Mike Singletary (I love his style) can lead the Niners back to prominence in the coming years. I expect to see them back in the playoffs finally in 2010.
Texans - I think this team needs a coaching change. All of the pieces are there on the field...aren't they?
Bills - I lived in Erie for a while and have been to Buffalo as it was just up the highway. In a city where their skyline is literally falling down, I feel sympathetic for Buffalo. They've sold out Bills games for decades but there are still talks every year about how the Bills are going to move to Toronto. I hope that the Bills never move and I hope that the Bills can eventually become a juggernaut once again and at least give the city a championship. Being an Eagles fan and watching the birds choke in 4/5 NFC Champ games and a Superbowl in the past decade, I can't even imagine what it was like for these guys to go to 4 straight Superbowls and lose them all.
Jets - The only NYC based team in all sports that I care for (read: don't hate with a passion). I love Rex Ryan's style of backing up what he says, I love Sanchez's grittiness, I love the Ryan family's defense first approach. If there's any team I'd like to see seal the deal, it's these guys. Also, they have the best regular uniform of the 32 NFL teams and that is essential.
So anyway, I'd love to see a Vikings Jets matchup. Favre vs his team from last year in the SB? Rookie QB/coach against the Favres? Saints v Colts would have been much more intriguing had they both gone undefeated.
Also, no upsets in the NFC yet. Will that trend continue this week?
