Ravens??? ... NOT!

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.

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

I would not say that is a rivalry. hardly

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.

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.

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!

Jamaican'Skin · 05-11-2006, 11:43 AM

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

bigmarley4 · 05-11-2006, 01:15 PM

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.

monk81 · 05-13-2006, 01:59 PM

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............

joethiesmanfan · 05-13-2006, 10:14 PM

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.

BigSKINBauer · 05-13-2006, 10:25 PM

well they'll lose come this season.

NicknacK89 · 05-14-2006, 01:12 AM

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
