For whom to root: the Ravens or the Taperiots?

[DoctorCAD]

Can't root for the Ravens...
Can't root for the Patriots*...

Hoping for the stadium to fold up and disappear like the house in the ending of the Amityville Horror. If that doesn't happen, I'd rather the Ravens lose with the Pats* losing their confidence and swagger while eeking out a 6 - 3 win in double overtime, while Tommy Boy is having menstral-like symptoms from Stabbin' Ray Ray scaring the crap out of him. AHHH...the perfect ending.

Ravens are number 1 on my irrational steelers fan hate list. Hope patriots crush them.

answer?

NOT THE RAVENS.

I hate the pats* too, but winning the division is step 1. a ravens loss positions us better

with that said I don't think they're going to win against baltimore on their turf. maybe if the game was in new england*

Fu&#%! Them both. They all gotta go through Pittsburgh eventually.

When the patriots play the ravens, I root for the sky to start raining turds on the stadium.

The Ravens are gonna stomp a mud hole in those cheatin bastards!!! I hate em both, but the Pats robbed us of a SB not once but TWICE!!!!! I live in Bmore area and can't stand the Ravens, BUT I hate the Pats waaaaay more. If the Steelers take care of their business, then it doesn't matter if the Ravens win. We'll just have to deal with them ourselves. But as for the Pats......DIE CHEATRIOTS, DIE!!!!!!!

I hate them both but I guess you go for the Pats here. Ravens at 1-2 is a lot better for us division speaking than the Pats being 1-2. I wouldn't complain if the Ravens won though because I hate them both as I said. Of course, you hope for a tie so both teams will be tired out.

How about a tie?

[teegre]

I have been thinking about this.

1. 2001 & 2004 are still to fresh in my mind. I have only miseed one SuperBowl since I was born, and that was the 2004 SuperBowl. I was so certain that BB would win it as a rookie... until the Taperiots... ugh. I could not bear to watch that game.

And, in 2001, the Steelers had a few odd snafus. Painful... because, that was a great defense.

I hate the Taperiots!!! I can still hear them taunting BB after the game... I can still see Deion Branch stomping on the hypocycloids in the middle of the field... I can still hear their CBs saying that they could "show" the Steelers their rings.

I hate them.

2. The turds idea sounds perfect.

2-a. So does a tie.

3. I have given it some thought, and we are Steelers fans. Merely "making the play-offs" is not good enough (we are not Chargers fans!!!). SuperBowls... PERIOD.

Thus, the best road to the SuperBowl brings Brady to PITT. The Taperiots losing as many games as possible, helps in this endeavor.

A loss by the Ravens helps the Steelers win the division.
A loss by the Taperiots helps the Steelers get home field.

I know, i know: if the Steelers don't win the division, there is no way that they can get home field. TRUE. But, since the Steelers have two more games against the Ravens, the Steelers can handle that business themselves (whereas, they have NO games, in the regular season, against the Taperiots).

Simply, if the Steelers can't beat the Ravens in those games, then the Steelers do not deserve the division.

Beat who's on the schedule, and the Steelers will control their destiny (as well as eliminate the Ravens & Bengals). But, since the Steelers do not play the Taperiots, the Steelers need the Taperiots to lose as many games as possible. Ergo, Go Ravens!!!
