Around the league divisional weekend

[BigHairedAristocrat]

I've got to say, this was a disappointing football weekend for me. I was rooting for the Broncos, Packers, Seahawks, and Texans. Can't really say i'm looking forward to any of the upcoming games. I loathe the Patriots and Ravens and i'm pretty ambivalent towards the 49ers and falcons. I dont view any potential superbowl matchups being compelling to me personally. The patriots have been to the superbowl so often its just not interesting anymore. But the last thing i want is to see Ray Lewis do any more dancing. I suppose i'll root for the Falcons but i dont feel good about it.

I don't know how you can root for a team that has beaten us the past three times we were in the playoffs.

Yeah I don't get that either.

I was watching the Seahawks/Falcons yesterday when my wife came in the room and asked who I was rooting for. I told her it was a simple rule of thumb, you never root for the team that beat you in the playoffs.

Yeah, I don't understand it either. In fact, I think the Seahawks are quickly becoming a heated rival with the Redskins.

To me, i almost take pride in the team beating us winning the superbowl. It makes the skins look better, as opposed to losing to a team that gets trounced the next week. Plus, i dont want Carlos Rogers to ever win a superbowl. I want him to regret leaving here and saying derogatory things about the Redskins.

Also, Im an NC state fan and have always liked Wilson. I love watching games where the seahawks play at home. The atmosphere always makes the games exciting and compelling. The seahawks are not my 2nd, 3rd, or even 4th favorite NFL team, but i like them a heck of alot better than the falcons. Sports arent particularly interesting to watch unless I have some kind of rooting interest in a team, so that makes the upcoming games horribly uninteresting to me.

That's fine when the team that beats you was clearly the better team, however the Seahawks were just the healthier team.
