Are The Broncos Your Second Team Now?

[Mexicolt]

I just want to get a feel from you guys.

I know I am a Colts fan who will cheer for Peyton every time he takes the field unless he plays us.

So...

[GoColts8818]

Nope the while Peyton thing seems set real to me still my second fav team is still the giants.

[chad72]

I am a fan of football, so I will love watching Peyton play as long as he is 100% and can play. Even fans of other teams would admit that it was fun watching Peyton operate as the QB.

When Phil Jackson stopped coaching the Bulls and Jordan left the Bulls, I followed Phil Jackson and became a fan of the Lakers during the Shaq era, now I am indifferent, rather than waiting for Jordan to mount another comeback . But then, I did not live in Chicago or in LA.

So yes, the Broncos will be my second favorite team now. If the Colts cannot beat the Pats or Steelers or Chargers, I will be rooting for the Broncos to get it done, safe to say. I really did not have a second team before. It was always a case of "anyone that can beat the Pats, Steelers, Chargers, Saints - they get my vote" criteria . Peyton however is different and will be the reason the Broncos become my second favorite team as long as he is there.

[BProland85]

Seahawks have always been my 2nd favorite team, and will remain that way. But no team comes close to my favorite team the COLTS!!!

[BleedingBlue]

Much better than the 49ers whom I hate because of their rivalry with the Giants.

But still, no.

[Blackhawk4]

Nope and not even close to my 2nd team....I don't even have a 2nd team,

[Indeee]

Absolutely not...

[grmasterb]

I will never root for the Donks. Colts forever.

[DG1]

Colts are the only team...everyone else is who we have to beat.

[GoDeep]

I have always liked the Broncos - I have family in CO and I lived there a year. They never owned the PM led Colts but did own Tommy's Pats.

I hope Peyton does well, they aren't my team though. #2 now I suppose (I did secretly enjoy Tebow-Time!)

[Neil 'n Allison Gray]

Yep, I've always liked the Broncos and now that they have PM as well, let's just say I have already asked for Broncos tickets for my birthday ;). I'm happy he chose Denver, because as much as I love my Colts, I live just 5 hours away from the Pacific, making Denver a far closer stadium than Indy, so the chances of me actually getting to see an NFL game live have just gone up significantly

[braveheartcolt]

Colts, then the Colts Practice Squad.

That's it......although my best friends are all Jints, so I keep updated with them.

[Moncrief]

The first team I played Madden with was the Broncos back when Clinton Portis was tearing it up. lol That being said I'm very minimally invested

[MAC]

Vance87 - aren't you a Texans fan? Not really a surprise that you won't be rooting for the Broncos, but it does defeat the purpose of the survey.

[SyX]

Nope, I have an AFC team (Colts) and an NFC team (Packers in the post Favre era). Can't find myself pulling for another AFC team, just have some I want to see lose every week.

[Hammer]

I'm an old Colts fan who still can't get past Elways refusal to play for the Colts. I wish Peyton would have picked any of the other teams. As it is, unless a Broncos victory would help the Colts, I hope they lose every game.

[JoKeR]

I will watch if a broncos game is nationally televised. So I will follow them as much as possible but im not buying NFL Sunday ticket to do so.

[bavanlan]

1) Colts

2) Peyton Manning

In as much as the Broncos success is tied to the success of #2, fine, but I'm not rooting for them directly.

[jskinnz]

I don't have a 2nd favorite team. There is the Colts and there is no one else.

[Jaric]

I'm certainly not rooting against him.

[ruksak]

Yuuuuuup

In between watching Luck run for his life and our new defense (very excited about that), I will enjoy watching my favorite player sweep millions of new fans off their feet and get what Irsay never gave him, a complete team.

I went away from Denver when they started Tebow. That guy is a burden. Terrible junk QB and Elway new it. He got an out with Manning coming to town.

[JoKeR]

"Im a Peyton fan" should've been a choice

[MTC]

It's a shame "Colts fans" voted Broncos as their favorite team.

[pacolts56]

We'll have a variety of opinions on this and that is fine.

But I root for the Colts..... period.

ALL other NFL teams are the enemy.... AFC South, AFC and NFC.... in that order.

[braveheartcolt]

Yeuck. Broncos fans. Met one at Wembley last October. He was very worse for wear, and only had one shoe. "Lost a shoe, did you" I said. "Nope, I found one".......

For all the Colts fans who declare that they don't give a jot about the Broncos, or Manning now he is no longer a Colts, I bet the vast majority will sneak a look at his stats every week, and perk up when the highlights come on, or when Red Zone has the Broncos on the move.....

And I include myself in that crowd........

Gonna be a weird season for sure......although I'm still not convinced he'll be healthy enough to play / make an impact.

[MAC]

1) Colts

2) Peyton Manning

In as much as the Broncos success is tied to the success of #2, fine, but I'm not rooting for them directly.

Clearly for the purposes of this poll, it's the same thing. This poll wasn't created randomly by some guy who happens to like the Broncos - if you want Peyton to continue to succeed, than by definition you are rooting for the Broncos.

[Jules]

1) Colts

2) Packers

3) Depends on who is left if 1) and 2) are not there in the playoffs I guess for rooting purposes for a week or two.

[jtcoltsfan]

While I voted No, I do wish the best for Peyton. Already have my Broncos / Raiders tickets. And I'll have my Colts Thanksgiving weekend tickets soon enough (pending a home game!!)

[Malakai432]

Heck yeah I'll root for them. Colts will still always be my #1 without question regardless if they are playing Denver or not. I have never disliked Denver so I'll root for them, watch them and wish Manning the best of luck. I also like the Giants. Good luck with ya Peyton.

[Jules]

Never really liked the Broncos but I also want Peyton to have good health and wish him the best of luck.

I wish no harm on him and hope he is happy.

[Andy]

No, but Peyton Manning is still my favorite player and if they're in the playoffs, I'll root for them, unless we're in it.

[Peyton and Eli fan]

Giants first. Broncos now second.

[Jules]

No, but Peyton Manning is still my favorite player and if they're in the playoffs, I'll root for them, unless we're in it.

I think that is how many will feel. If the Colts are not in it and the Broncos are they might pull for Manning, at least from the AFC side of things.

[04DarkShadowGT]

I dont get the fan of multiple teams stuff. I follow some players from the college I am a fan of, I hope they do well and win but I am not a fan of the team. I hope Brees wins more championships because he is a Boiler, couldnt care less about the Saints as an organization.

This is how I feel about the Broncos, I hope Peyton does well and wins, but I wont be upset or really care if they dont.

[jemack]

I'd rather watch them with PM than with Tebow, but no, I have no 2nd team

[Jules]

Oh heck. I likely will be cheering for Peyton against the Pats and Chargers and Steelers next year. Those 3 teams.....do not like.

[Poster X]

I'm a Colts fan through and though. No seconds sloppy, or other(team)wise...

[Holden89]

Yeah, I'll cheer for them now. Since we (likely) wont be competing for the Superbowl, and neither will the Bucs...I may as well go for the Manning led Broncos! That, and my late Grandfather WAS from Colorado...He liked the Broncos

1. Colts 2. Bucs 3. Broncos

[mahagga73]

heck no.I am a Baltimore Colts fan originally,and I remember the stunt Elway pulled on us,so i hope the Donkeys lose every game.

[horseshoepower]

I use to rank all the teams first to last back in the day when I would watch almost every single NFL game(football addict). In 2012 the Colts are no.1 and I'll just follow them.
