I consider the Giants (although not playing well) and the Broncos and the Packers and the Colts to be "my" teams too--AFTER the Steelers.

I love the Niners. Not like I loved Miami, but they are from my home area and I've known many of the players in the past. So, I won't apologize for switching loyalties but I'll be danged if anyone has the right to say I'm not a fan because I felt betrayed by my team and started rooting for my home team.

Even though I'm a Patriot fan I also care how the Bengals do as I'M a buckeye. I'm presently rooting for San Fran as we have good friends in california. I also sometimes root for Pittsburg as I've met some or the most down to earth people from there and quite frankly just like these areas.

Where was LaGarrette Blount today? Did he show up drunk or something? He made a couple of runs for no gain early in the third period and I didn't see him the rest of the game. According to all the experts, he was supposed to be a major factor today.

Do you think that Don Shula, or any other NFL coach at the time, would not have done the same thing? Never mind that the coach, players, head office personnel and owners of that team have changed since then. You quit being Dolphins fan because you think that Jimmy Johnson is "slimey"? Really, this is why you root for or against a football team? Really ??. BTW: I've never know Jimmy Johnson to be anything other than a class act.

They looked terrible today and I was really surprised that LaGarrette Blount hardly played at all. He was supposed to be a major factor. I wonder if he caught the flu from Tom Brady?

This is where it all started. You "started rooting for your home team" Why didn't you do that from the beginning.I've always rooted for nothing but my home teams.The Red Sox,Bruins,Celtics & Patriots have been my teams because I was born in Massachusetts. Doesn't matter if they didn't win!I'll never understand why anybody roots for anyone but their home teams!!

But is your home team where you were born, grew up or where you have lived the longest? I was born and grew up in New Hampshire but I have lived the longest (if you add up all the different times) in Seattle. So I cheer for both the Patriots and the Seahawks and only have a conflict when they play each other. And what do the people do who's team leaves town and moves are they still suppose to root for them then.

Never liked Al Davis and the Raiders, so there was no way they could be my team. Lived in the East Bay so it was hard to root for any SF team -- almost betraying my neighbors if I did. Saw the Dolphins, loved Mercury Morris, loved that they were the last penalized team year after year, so they became my team for a long, long time and truly did have my heart. Regardless of the whys, to accuse someone of not being a fan because they change loyalties for whatever reason is just wrong in my book. (And I will now fade away into the sunset since I am not a Pats fan and I probably never should have posted on this thread. My apologies.)

Football fans
Season over. Wait till next year.
Belechick and Brady have formed a potent combination of brains and talent. Belechick is a master at game plans, and Brady is one of the best, at executing a game plan. They just came up short today. Manning showed why he is a great quarterback, as he takes what the defense allows him, and is like having a coach on the field. I hope Peyton, gets his second ring!!!
