Hey guys tonight the Ravens and Steelers play and some places are hyping it up as the "leagues best rivalry today." Its a damn good rivalry just want to see what everyone here thinks. This is about recent rivalry not so much historical otherwise I'd swap NE out and put Miami in for the Jets choice!
Tonight game is definitely the top of the pile. though i would say us and the P*ts is a close number two. Anytime the Ravens and Steelers play it's must see TV.
Definitely Steelers/Ravens. Until the Jets can actually stop being swept by the Pats and get a sweep of their own (haven't swept the Pats since Groh was HC) the Jets/Pats isn't even close.
Steelers-Ravens Both teams still have the same coach and QB who won them Superbowls. Nothing comes close. Don't have too much respect for NFC East rivalries to be honest. They get too much attention for nothing.
Pats/Ravens and Pats/Jets were good ones, maybe Bowles can revive it, but it's not much lately, just a lot of hate. Pats/Colts (and Manning) is just as one-sided right now, Pats don't really have a "rivalry" in a sense where they're always splitting with a team making an intense series every season. Not saying this meaning "they're so much better blah blah blah" just that there isn't one team that can consistently threaten them like the Steelers and Ravens do every time they meet. Steelers/Ravens gets my vote. They have meaningful games that determine playoff status and they just plain hate each other, thats a rivalry. 100% agreed with Brooklyn on NFCLeast rivals, theyre bad teams who play down to each others level twice a year. Snoozefest division, it's hard to watch how bad all 4 teams are and nobody can pull ahead.
Even with the Ravens being 0-3 I think they still hold the title right now. I think the first 2 even 3 years of the Rex era it could have been argued Jets-Pats was better and Brady/Manning before that.
If we mange to split with the Pats the next couple years with Bowles at the helm Jets/P*ts could go back to the top. There is an awful lot of hate between the teams, just need the inevitable RR blowout losses to disappear.
Hate to break it to the jets fans, but you don't matter enough to have a "rivalry" with the patriots. I guess it's Pitt/Balt by default. It's not what it used to be but I can't think of a better one. KC/Oak isn't bad. Manning/Brady is good, but may be one sided as Brady historically kicks his ass. Packers/Bears was good but Chicago sucks now.
Oh thanks for breaking it to us.. I know it was so hard. Our hearts are just broken here even though everyone has primarily acknowledged balt/pit ya d-bag
You bet the Patriots hate the Jets more than any other team...so it's a rivalry..and has been since Parcells left NE...its not on equal level as Pitts vs Balt right now though ...Dolphin fans hate the Jets in equal measure and vice versa....no one hates the Bills..not since Bill Clinton was president did you matter...no one ever thinks of Buffalo outside of western NY...you are the Buffalo Rex's...

Rivalries don't matter in the NFL like they used to. There is just too much player turnover to make a difference. It only makes a difference to fans. The Jets/Pats rivalry is just like the Yanks and red sox, was until they finally won one. The Jets are nothing more than a minor annoyance to the pats. Maybe if we won the division here and there, or did more than just beat them once in a playoff game every 20 years or so, it would matter.
surprising they were able to move all their homeless, their drunken hooligans, and nasty toothless women out of the way to take these photos. One thing I noticed about Buffalo is that most people downtown fall in one of those 3 categories but its hard to tell which is which because all 3 groups wear ratty ass bills coats from 15 years ago but BOJ doesn't care about buffalo smack cause he "aint from thurr" (I speak buffaloese)
I think the hate of Pats Ravens is even with the Jets and the Ravens have had their share of big wins... Ravens-Pats Pats-Colts is no rivalry. Jets play the Pats a lot tougher than the Colts.
yeah but I put them on the list because it was the Colts who exposed the Patriots for being cheaters (this time). So I imagine Belichick at least hates them now with a passion equal to his hatred for the Jets
The Colts would have to at least play a competitive game against the Pats for a rivalry to occur. When Manning was there, it was a rivalry.
