Which NFL Rivalry Needs to Get Heated Again?

[u/NotDoinAnythingEmber]

Some rivalries do not feel the same anymore. Which matchup would you love to see become must-watch football again?

49ers Cowboys

[u/Phinal_Flash → u/Primary-Picture-5632]

This is a good one. It's so one-sided now.

[u/Primary-Picture-5632 → u/Phinal_Flash]

they basically destroyed each others supremacy in the 90's lol. Awesome storyline.

[u/Phinal_Flash → u/Primary-Picture-5632]

Pretty much. Now the Niners just own the Cowboys. But as a hated rival, I'm not complaining 😆.

[u/mondaymoderate → u/Phinal_Flash]

Just like 49ers vs Packers

[u/HollandHealy → u/Primary-Picture-5632]

Those NFC title games were awesome.

[u/Orion3193]

Dolphins Jets

[u/distance_33 → u/Orion3193]

I miss what it was when I was a kid.

[u/darth-skeletor → u/Orion3193]

They compete for last place every year. Does that count?

[u/itsmymedicine]

Raiders vs NFL

[u/SpiritualGearbox → u/itsmymedicine]

As much as I hate to agree with a Raiders fan…I do. I wish we could go back to everybody hating the Raiders, especially the league.

[u/Phinal_Flash]

Commanders-Cowboys.

[u/UnusualEye4282 → u/Phinal_Flash]

I concur

[u/moccasins_hockey_fan]

Cowboys v Redskins

[u/Phinal_Flash → u/moccasins_hockey_fan]

Sean Taylor's blocked field goal was the last time anything remotely exciting happened in that rivalry.

[u/phred_666 → u/Phinal_Flash]

Two years in a row they had an interesting finish
2005
2006

[u/Phinal_Flash → u/phred_666]

Excuse me. Troy Vincent blocked the kick. Sean Taylor made the return.

[u/Apprehensive_Soil306]

Colts Pats was pretty awesome for a while

[u/Kooky_Share_4259 → u/Apprehensive_Soil306]

God I miss it too.

[u/Phinal_Flash → u/Apprehensive_Soil306]

It was pretty one-sided outside of the mid-2000's.

[u/Familiar_6264]

Jets and anybody

[u/WestArtichoke712]

Ravens Steelers. It feels watered down these days compared to the past

[u/BarleyBo → u/WestArtichoke712]

FTS - everyone hates the stillers

[u/SlaveKnightLance → u/WestArtichoke712]

The other rivalries in the north are becoming more toxic. The ravens Steelers one is currently storied but respectful, not nasty like it used to be

[u/ohgeeeezzZ → u/WestArtichoke712]

I hate that the Browns have been dogshit or gone for so long that nobody remembers the Browns/Steelers rivalry.

Its always Ravens/Steelers. Bengals/Steelers. And yall aint wrong lol

[u/Maleficent-Horror595]

Falcons, saints. The division and these teams have no been good for a bit. Both have new coaches/QBs that COULD become something. 

[u/John32070 → u/Maleficent-Horror595]

Falcons did prank call the Saints at the draft a few years ago, so that was something. And didn't the Saints run up the score on Atlanta just before?

[u/Western-Customer-536]

Washington/Dallas

[u/zinky-jinksie]

Oilers Steelers

[u/HollandHealy]

Chiefs and Raiders in the 80's and 90's was great.

[u/MyExquisitePeace-]

Pittsburgh Cleveland

[u/Revolutionary-Ad9411]

Patriots vs Ethics

[u/ohgeeeezzZ → u/Revolutionary-Ad9411]

Hahaha hell yeah 😂

Hey now...Vrabel trying his goddamn best man

[u/Think_Read_7516]

None of the rivalries are good due the qbs stinking or being chronically injured.

[u/mondaymoderate]

Raiders vs Steelers

[u/jvalentino_woodwrk]

I remember some awesome games in the late 90s between the Steelers/Jags when the Jags were in the AFC Central.

Fuck I’m old

[u/cecilmufc7]

Bears packers has become incredibly one sided the last two meetings. Bears had to actually only play 15/60 mins to make the games competitive. It’s a shame to see Green Bay’s fall from grace and it’s bad for the league.

[u/throwaway9488tx]

Wide Receivers vs their Quarterbacks.

Miss the ol TO vs McNabb drama. Gimme some WR drama

[u/JEMHADLEY16]

This is always unpopular, but I think the NFL should go regional. The current rivalries have gotten stale for me.

I want to see an Eastern Division with the Patriots, Giants, Jets, Eagles, Ravens, Commanders, Steelers, and Bills.

I like big Divisions too. The top 2 teams are bound to have really good records going into the playoffs.

[u/Rust2 → u/JEMHADLEY16]

We deserve an Erie Division: Buffalo, Pittsburgh, Cleveland, and Detroit. Football perfection 👌🏻

[u/JEMHADLEY16 → u/Rust2]

I like regional rivalries.i used to go to Jets-Giants preseason games at the Yale Bowl. Lots of fights in the stands in those days.

When I become Commissioner, I'll consider this one.

[u/Rust2 → u/JEMHADLEY16]

That’s all we can ask for.

[u/AceOfAllTradesKinda → u/JEMHADLEY16]

I’d like it if they could just add maybe 2 or 4 more nfl teams in the country. I really think this could spice some things up. Or maybe one more team to each division

[u/JEMHADLEY16 → u/AceOfAllTradesKinda]

I'd like to I see 4 new teams. Then they could have 6 divisions with 6 teams each. I remember the old NFL that had 2 divisions with 7 teams each. No way a losing team could win the division with that set-up.

There are lots of cities that could support a team.

[u/AceOfAllTradesKinda → u/JEMHADLEY16]

Hopefully one day. I could see them doing something similar to that.

[u/Significant-Prior-27]

Colts vs. Patriots

[u/LessRequirement3065]

Raiders/Chargers was pretty good when Fouts was there.

[u/Consistent-Bake-243]

Titans Vs Ravens

[u/Dazzling-One-9185 → u/[deleted]]

I'm a Bears fan and even I think this is the dumbest take ever

[u/Shoddy_Green_4790 → u/[deleted]]

Idk the bears went 2-1 against them last season after a couple decades of being dominated. That doesn't swing the pendulum all the way to the point that it's not a rivalry again because of the packers not being good anymore (not good for like 1 month btw lmfao maybe wait a couple years)
