Rivalries
 

Okay, so we have heated rivalries with everyone in our division, but what about the conference. Who are our most heated rivals in the NFC, or even AFC? Your thoughts

In my opinion, Tampa Bay vs. Washington always seems to be a thrilling matchup

Re: Rivalries
 

Baltimore...geographical convience really. Other than that, teams with a lot of tradition like Pittsburgh, Miami, and Denver.

Re: Rivalries
 

baltimore is not our rival. I hate their fans, they think we care about this beltway rivalry. Last year I was heckled at the scrimmage, I was like STFU because I could care less if the ravens won the conference or had a year like they did.
We have had some good games against tampa these last couple years, well, the ones that the refs don't get paid to cheat

Re: Rivalries
 

Ya definately the Bucs but i think you could add the Bears to the mix too. If you look back in the 80's and 30's and 40's it was pretty heated, there is history between these teams. Out of the conference: Bills and Broncos

Well we know its not [URL="http://www.superbowl.com/history/recaps/game/sbxvii"]Miami[/URL] [URL="http://www.superbowl.com/history/recaps/game/sbxxii"]Denver[/URL] or [URL="http://www.superbowl.com/history/recaps/game/sbxxvi"]Buffalo[/URL].

Re: Rivalries
 

I gotta say either Baltimore or Carolina.

Re: Rivalries
 

Carolina has some of the smarter fans in the league, ofcourse they all are old redskin fans so they will die a relentless death by gibbs

Re: Rivalries
 

I would think that Buffalo pretty much hates our entire division. hehe

Im with you BSB on the Ravens thing. I don't consider them a rival. I mean think about all those years of the Dallas rivalry, the Ravens will never be able to compete.
I'll pick Tampa as a conference rival.

Re: Rivalries
 

Ravens??? ... NOT!

Re: Rivalries
 

Buccaneers without a doubt. Even though the Cowboys rivalry is definitely heating back up. I DO hate the Ravens and Eagles as far as fans are concerned though.

I would not say that is a rivalry. hardly

Re: Rivalries
 

Jamaican skin, I misunderstood the question. You could put Tampa in the mix given the last couple of years, and this year coming. I would love to see us have a rivalry with Carolina. I live in charlotte, about 10 minutes from the stadium and I can not stand Carolina fans. They are "fair weather fans" If Carolina is losing, they dont go to the games, do go the bars to cheer on the team. If they are winning, the town goes nuts. Plus, They show up at the game sometime in the 1st quarter. I hope we beat the ass this year and next year. Next year they play in Charlotte. I am going to get about 10 guys down here to take over the tailgating parties.

Re: Rivalries
 

Other than our division foes, I don't see us as having a rivalry. There are teams I can't stand personally due to some game(s) played in the past (Broncos, Seattle, Bears). We might be able to get a rivalry going with Tampa Bay if something wacky and contraversial happens this year like last year's regular season game. I would like to see us get a rivalry going versus the Panthers due to the fact that they seem to field a pretty good team every year.

Re: Rivalries
 

In the NFC we seem to have a thing going on with the Bucs. I don't of any team that can be classified as a rival in the AFC though. We simply don't play them often enough.

Malcom, I am with you... recently our best non-divisional conference rival has got to be the Bucs. You can even go back to the 1999 playoffs and you have the Bucs beating the Skins. Historically, I have to say 49ers or Vikings in the 70's or 80's as far as playoffs go. Bears if you go way back. But I think I hate the Bucs right now as much as our divisional opponents. Unfortunately, the Skins have to go to Tampa again this year and play the Bucs. It is about to get as bad as the Colts always having to go to New England for every one of their matchups! It stinks!

Re: Rivalries
 

But it also keeps us honest. Going up against a good D like that

Re: Rivalries
 

I'll throw in a vote for the "storied" franchises as our non-divisional rivals, because historically that is where the NFL success bar is set. Teams like the Steelers, Niners, Packers, Raiders, and to a much lesser extent Broncos and Dolphins. Would include the Pats but they haven't been a very successful team over time like the others I've mentioned.

As far as I'm concerned, the only way the Bucs can beat us is if they score on defense. I have no idea how their offense scores ANY points.

Re: Rivalries
 

Controversial call in that Bucs game that we lost has made this a rivalry and come'on ya gotta dislike their coach that resembles that killer doll, Chuckie........

I think the Broncos got way too much from us in the Portis trade, weren't the Broncos also involved in the Jason Campbell deal last year, which gave them an extra pick, we are making this team a super bowl contender. Let's not forget that controversal call in last year's game......so I'd say the Broncos in the AFC............

Re: Rivalries
 

I grew up in the Charlotte North Carolina area watching the skins and I can't switch. But the younger ones love the Carolina Panthers. I hate we lost to them, I used to love saying yall aint never beat Washington.

Re: Rivalries
 

well they'll lose come this season.

Re: Rivalries
 

it seems the skins are always playing carolina every season (not last season) and that game always seems to be a good one... id have to say carolina or maybe seatle after what happened last season

Re: Rivalries
 

When I was up in Buffalo for a Skins game a few years ago a lot of the people up there said they root for the Redskins when the bills aren't playing them. I thought that was kinda weird, but it seemed to be somewhat common, especially with the canuks.

I would have to 24th the thought that Tampa is becoming a rival, probably because we are going to play them for at least the fifth time in four years next season.
