Your team's rivalries

[Pantokrator]

As an Eagles' fan, I was thinking about what teams our fans hate the most, and of course, they were divisional opponents, Dallas being one, and the Giants being 2.

It made me wonder though, who are other team's greatest rivals? I figure for most teams it will be divisional, but for example, who do the Chargers hate the most? Raiders? Rams because of location? Who do the Broncos hate the most? Etc.

Anyway, I was just wondering who you see as your team's most hated opponents in order.

The Bengals hate playoff success more than any other team.

 

[Halladay]

After Dallas, I dont really care for the Giants and WFT. The Eagles have beat the Giants up so much the past 15 years or so, that I dont have much animosity towards them. WFT just isnt relevant enough for me to care about. But it would be Dallas, then the Giants, then Im not sure.

Even the Lions

 

[Hasbro]

Who do the Broncos hate the most?

Raiders.

I expect that as a stock answer for most teams.

 

[TheAngryHank]

Bills ; Pat's


Miami

 

[Unholy Diver]

For the Steelers

1. Ravens
2. Browns - Though I'd have gone with the Pats here during Brady era

In the past decade, I’d say Baltimore for the Pats. Colts-Pats was an awesome rivalry during the Manning days, I miss that shit. Wish I could call the Jets a rival but they’re more so Bill’s personal punching bag. Absolutely hated the Jets when I was younger and when Rex was around, but I just feel truly sorry for them at this point lol.

Us bills absolutely despise Brady , fan threw dildos on his sideline..random but hilarious,
I'd love nothing more than a Tampa v Buffalo superbowl with Brady getting fed his teeth.
He just terrorized the east for ever.

 

[GKJ]

The Saints top rivals are the Falcons, Falcons again and Vikings. 49ers are in the mix historically. I don’t know how much they care about the Panthers and Bucs, like they do as division rivals, but it’s only that much.

It’s always the J-E-T-S suck suck suck The Wide Right Bills and Fish first followed by the Dolts, Steelers and Ravens. Not really going to make an order for either group because it’s whoever The Pats are playing that day.

 

[Terry Yake]

the steelers

f*** the steelers

 

[TheGreenTBer]

Even the Lions

We have a longer playoff win drought, but technically they've won ONE playoff game in the Super Bowl era which is far beyond any level of suffering any fanbase deserves. Technically, what I really meant is that rather than the Bengals hating other teams in particular, they definitely hate playoff success more.

If I would answer the question in a non-shitposting manner, the answer for Bengals fans is the Steelers and it's not even remotely close.

Do the Patriots really have a division rival? I live in New England and no one I know around here really cares about any of those teams anymore.

the steelers

f*** the steelers

Amen.

Connecticut? I’m going to guess here, what part of NE?


I suppose you could break up the eras. The traditional/historic rivalries like Fish, Bills, Jets, Dolts and lesser so with Broncos/Raiders and the Tom Brady era rivals like Steelers, Dolts, Ravens and Giants. I grew up with the historic ones and I still hate them to this day but I suppose the younger Tom Brady Era fans would find the others more to their hated rivals.

Somewhere in Massachusetts, not very willing to get more specific than that.

This all makes sense to me. I'm a transplant here, so I definitely don't want to speak for Patriots fans and I appreciate the feedback.

Growing up, Seattle was part of the AFC West along with the current teams still there and I absolutely loathed the broncos and that #7. The Raiders were up there, too but I hated the Donks with the white hot fire of a hundred suns. The Chiefs and Chargers didn't bother me much, even when they were the better team. (In the 90's they were all better.)

Switched to the NFC west in 2002 and that made SF our most natural and geographic rival. The PDX area actually has a lot of Niner fans too, making those games fun to watch at bars or whatever. By 2010 both teams were really good, and felt to me like a proper rivalry, like Pens/ Flyers used to. Really though it's the whole division. Hated the Rams since changing conferences, that was during the Warner era after all.

AZ can f*** off as well.

That’s where I am from but south of Boston. You had the Marino plus Shula eras and Jim Kelly era which created a lot of rival hatred. New York will always be New York to a Bostonian, you hate them by default in anything and everything. The Raiders and Broncos hatred had more to due with playoff losses and overall domination from 1960 to 2000. There’s not many fans left because they have mostly died off but the Giants used to be New England’s team before the Boston Patriots formed. You’ll still find pockets of Giants fans especially in places like Maine passed on by the generations but it is dying off.

Obviously the Tom Brady era Pats do not need much explanation.

Enjoy it, it’s a great place.

I would almost guarantee that the Eagles biggest rival historically is the Giants. I would rank it as, 1. NYG. 2. DAL. 3. WFT

 

[AceKing21]

As a Cowboys fan, it'll always be WFT. Even though the matchups have swayed towards DAL in the recent years, it's 100% WFT.

 

[Canes]

Panthers is probably the Falcons, but really we haven't had many tense rivalries because the franchise has been mostly bad to mediocre with a few double digit win seasons sprinkled in every few seasons. Hard to develop any serious rivalries like that.

 

[Hoek]

Really hard to say as a Bucs fan. All the South teams have been pretty annoying at various times, but probably the Saints the most so overall. It feels weird to say it since the geography/division isn't really a factor and they've moved twice, but the Rams have always popped up randomly as a nemesis, ending their first deep playoff run back in the orange creamsicle days, beating Dungy's peak defense with the Bucs in the NFC championship game in 1999, and even now continually being a tough out in the regular season. Would be nice to be the thorn in their side for a change. Also hated the Eagles back in the day until we got over that hump as well. There's been bad blood over the years with the Packers, too. Not sure anyone really sees the Bucs as a rival though?

 

[Super Fadio Bro]

For the Raiders, it’s the Chiefs.

 

[Babe Ruth]

As a Cowboys fan, it'll always be WFT. Even though the matchups have swayed towards DAL in the recent years, it's 100% WFT.

Yeah, it's currently become an almost meaningless rivalry.. especially with Washington being a nameless franchise. A shell of the good ol' days when the guy dressed like a cowboy would famously argue in the stands with the fan dressed like an Indian. I also remember when Cowboys & Redskins played an annual off-season basketball game in Virginia. Rivalry was a big deal..

I miss those days for sure. The good ole days!
