For me, I really don't like the Bengals, but I absolutely CAN'T STAND the Ravens and Brian Billick. The Browns I can give or take. How do you guys feel about team's division rivals?

    Well, I loathe the Cowboys unrelentingly. I grew up when Emmitt and company were around. The Eagles and Skins, I really don't mind either of them. Although I'll watch a Skins game 5 times before I'd watch an Iggles game. Hell I live nothing but 10 minutes from FedEx field and I usually go to a few games there.

    I'm a Chiefs fan, grew up when Len Dawson, Otis Taylor, Willie Lanier and crew were in their heyday. I hate Denver and Oakland, and San Diego to a lesser extent. It was a beautiful sight last week when Indy beat Denver with a field goal, looking in the stands and seeing all those disappointed Broncos fans.

    HATE the cowboys, and very, very much dislike the skins. Both have fair weather fans (non CU, as I don't want cowboys fans to start a hissy fit)

    The Giants are okay because the fans are true.

    I agree the regular Cowboys fans on here like Kuhlmann and Bigdaddy are good guys. Most if not all card collectors are.

    But I will hate the Dallas Cowboys today, I will hate the Dallas Cowboys tomorrow, next week, next month, next year, next decade, next score, next century, next millennium, and beyond.

    I hate the Broncos, dislike the Chargers, and get great pleasure in observing the disaster that is the Oakland Raiders.

    Would it be safe to say, that the Lions really have no rivals anymore? Different division, but they do have Vick's number for some reason!

    The Patriot's division rivals are so weak it's almost boring.

    By the way, I think this setup with 8 4-team divisions is stupid. Division titles are meaningless, and I bet there will be three or four 7-9 division champs over the next 10 years. I'd like to see them go back to 6 divisions (4 with 5 teams, 2 with 6).

    Despise the falcan'ts, the overrated vick, and I want to punch that smug SOB Mora everytime I see his goofy grin on tv.

    Dislike the panthers, especially their coach fox, and the team is filled with steroid injecting cheaters (though they get bonus points for their cheerleaders having sex with one another).

    The saints, don't really care one way or the other, they've never been much of a threat.


    The old division:

    hated the lions...most of Barry Sanders' best games were shredding Buc defenses.

    didn't care about the Vikings, though it was satisfying that in their 15-1 season a few years back, the Bucs gave them that single loss.

    Always respected the Packers, and the Sapp-Favre battles were always really entertaining.

    Bears...loved watching Ditka coach em, but again, no real emotions either way for this team.

    I like the concept of large divisions. Maybe just an AFC and NFC, with top six from each side making the playoffs (two byes for top two team in each conference during week one of the playoffs). While we're at it, let's do the same thing in baseball, except the AL and NL will just select the top four teams from each league.

    Patriot's division rivals are weak now, but, as recently as 2000, the patriots were an abysmal 5-11 team.

    It all goes in cycles...the patriots may be on top now, but they will go through a down period. It's the beauty of a cap and parity.

    See, I can't stand Chad Johnson, so I can see your reasoning for disliking Ward. And to be fair, I don't think Marvin Lewis is doing the job everyone thought he was going to do there...
  • gosteelersgosteelers Posts: 2,668 ✭✭✭
    It's odd that the coaches in the AFC North don't do well in what they were 'brought up' to do.

    Cowher-previously a Special Teams coach...Steelers special teams usually suck

    Billick-previous offensive guru...Ravens offense usually sucks

    Lewis-defense...Bengals defense sucks

    Crennel-defense...Browns defense sucks

    How can anyone say Marvin Lewis hasn't done a phenomenal job in Cincy?

    Doesn't it speak volumes about his performance when his team is .500, and people are disappointed? I mean, they were bad for how long again?

    He's done a fantastic job with that team.
