Steelers vs. Pats -who should Bills fans really want to win?

[PlayoffsPlease]

I hate polls where people add nonsense language after the choice. Much better poll if it just said 1) Steelers 2) Patriots

 

Bills fans should root for the Steelers. They are not a playoff contender this year.

With the Brady suspension reversed -- the Pats*** are again the favorite to win the division. Is it better for the Pats*** to beat the Steelers tonight if we think our best chance to make the playoffs is a wild card, and an extra loss for the Steelers could help the Bills more? Or F that?

Although it's too early in the season to know who we should want to win this game, we can reason that *NE will be near the top and I feel Pitt will compete for a wild card (But I don't expect too much from them). If that holds true, we probably want *NE to win. But if Pittsburgh wins and when the Bills beat *NE the following week, the Bills have an early edge at the division. I always shoot for the division and hate the *Patsie's, so go Steeler's!!!!

I have to agree, i really didn't read the choices until your post. Adding those comments can definitely sway a vote or two. Simply put *Patsie's and Steeler's...

THE only time I would root for the Cheatriots would be if that win pushed the Bills into the playoffs.

we want to win the Division.....go steelers.

If they beat the Steelers , its a possibility , but I could only root for them if that happened very late in the season.

Pats* starting 0-2 will help us win the division more than 1 steelers loss will help us with the wildcard imo

[4merper4mer]

I'm rooting for the Steelers but frankly don't think they have a big shot. Their defense stinks.

 

The one hope is that the NFL will stop calling whatever Brady wants called.

 

Screw the mentality that the Bills have no shot at the division. Screw that.

Pats in our division---steelers of course cmon

Not voting because I disagree with the logic, but I'd prefer the Steelers to lose tonight because I think that makes a Bills win next week a little more likely. I usually don't care much about what non-Bills teams do, because for all the discussion about playoff/tiebreaker scenarios, the futility streak has mostly come down to not having a good enough record. If we go 10-6 and miss out due to tiebreakers, I can live with that.

Maybe you're just young, because I could not live with that, that would totally suck...How many years has it been since the Bills won 10 games, how many more years before they do it again. 9-7 and miss the playoffs, so be it, but 10-6 and miss would haunt me all off-sesaon and beyond....

I always want the Buffalo Bills to win, but if they don't I root for whoever plays the "Cheatriots" and wins.

[Fan in Chicago]

Okay, own up - who is the single person rooting for the pats** ? Mr. WEO, pneumonic or some other spy ?

Its Yolo's poll and he can do whatever he wants

[jumbalaya]

Pats won't start 0-2. Pats win here then lose in Buff. I also put $$ on the Pats vs Steelers. Bet with your head not your heart.

I agree that the Pats** will win, but the poll was about who you want to win.

I came to a funny realization last night during a fantasy football draft. At one point I was considering drafting Blount on the Pats. And I needed a wideout and saw that Jarvis Landry was available. But there was no way I could draft Landry, because I hate the fins. But I would draft Blount, even though I hate the Pats. Well I realized subconsciously I have much more disdain for the Dolphins then the Pats

[plenzmd1]

Let the Pats win tonight, get all the emotion out and come int oBuffalo nice and flat. Seems I've noticed over time Super Bowl champs often win the first game the next season, then go down hill after that.

I agree with this 100%. I know counter intuitive, but give the Pats a big cushy win ,ma long weekend for Gronkntomparty like its 1999...and the Bills smoke em the next week setting up the Bills run to the division championship.

I don't know what people see when they look at this version of the Patriots. What made them decent on defense last season (secondary play) is a huge hole now. This charade can't continue forever, right?

 

It's too bad the Steelers don't have all their weapons on offense because this would almost be guaranteed to be a "whoever has the ball last" kinda game.

 

But it's probably still coming down to QB play. The Pats probably win because they're at home and the Steelers new defensive coordinator is really up against it but conceding the division to them right now is pure folly.

Bash the Pats* for whatever else you want, but I don't recall them having too many letdown games. They do forget what happened the previous weekend. So I still root for the Steelers to beat them and the Bills to pound them even harder

[ALLEN1QB]

Steelers just win baby! While your at it break Tommy boys leg.

I've tried telling myself that for the last 5 years but have given up. Somehow it always works out for them. Like the time some !@#$ing guy off the practice squad stripped Lee Evans of the AFCC winning touchdown.
