My favorites are:1. Browns v. Steelers
2. Cowboys v Redskins
3. Chiefs v Raiders
4. Packers v Bears
5. Patriots v Jets
i had the same list except for #5- i had Giants v Eagles.
If i had to rank them, Packers v Bears would be #1 and it would be difficult to place the other 4 in a particular order. In the 60's the Browns v Steelers was a laugher- i seem to remember that the Cardinals was the big game.

Browns/Steelers
Ravens/Steelers....although it is a great game year in and year out it doesn't feel right at all
Cowboys/Redskins
Giants/Eagles
Patriots/Colts.........i like this for the obvious reason, QB play
-
49ers vs. Cowboys
Raiders vs. Steelers
Eagles vs. Cowboys
Patriots vs. Colts
Cowboys vs. Redskins
Bears vs. Packers
Browns vs. Steelers
Packers vs. Vikings
Jets vs. Patriots

Stains gotta get a couple more wins against the Steelers before anyone talks rivalry. Nobody in Pittsburgh talks Browns/Steelers rivalries except for the excitable sports talk guys and mayors.
I don't see any rebirth of a rivalry for the next 5 years at least.

Titans vs. Ravens
No- it is a COMMUNIST RELOCATION/ABANDON YOUR ROOTS for greener pastures bowl
I take it you wouldn't think highly of the Rams/Cardinals "rivalry" either. Fair to say?

I thought the same when the Titans and Rams met in the SB! I wanted to puke!

And Michigan fans said and felt the same way until Coach Tressel came to Columbus.
Mangini vs. the steelers... 2 - 1
Pittsburgh QB's are a Joke

So you're saying the Steelers have a rivalry with the J-E-T-S, Jets, Jets, Jets?
As for your QB's drivel, we just went 3-1 with our backup-backup-backup QB's and the greatest QB in the NFL returns to the Black n' Gold the following week and yinz are arguing who is the more appropriate starter for the stains - Seneca or crazy Jake.
Name any other team in the NFL who would have gone 3-1 with their 3rd and 4th string QB's? Go ahead, I dare ya. Unfortunately for your misguided, wishful thought, the Steelers clearly have the best QB squad in the league.
Clearly.
Thanks for playing though.

Steelerschick,
I would agree with you on that. Lately it has been one sided.. kind of like the mid 80s when you guys had mark malone as a qb. that doesn't take the hatred we have for each other, and that has to amount for something.. fu@k pit

The hatred is still there, always has been.
Unfortunately it's north-west of the Golden Triangle.
When it becomes two-sided, the rivalry's back on.
Until then, enjoy the grace of my presence here. I'm pulling my punches.

The question was a poll for you to vote for the best rivalries in the NFL. Why is it that such a simple task is seemingly so impossible for so many Steeler fans to perform? If you don't want to count the Browns/Steelers rivalry then don't vote for it, but then tell us which 5 you would vote for.

OK, so here is my own vote:
Packers vs. Bears
Browns vs. Steelers
Giants vs. Eagles
Chiefs vs. Raiders
Packers vs. Vikings
These are great rivals no matter how good, bad or indifferent the teams are.
I had always considered the Cowboys/Redskins a TV manufactured rivalry so I didn't vote for that.
A couple of lost rivalries in my opinion are the Browns/Lions. Two cities close to each other that were of similar ilk and for a 10 year period went tooth and nail against each other for the championship.
Also Rams vs. 49ers. When Rams moved from LA that rivalry was lost.
Some "Should be" rivalries that would be ever so natural but are not due to teams being placed in opposing conferences:
Giants/Jets. Raiders/49ers. Cowboys/Texans. Miami vs. Tampa vs. Jacksonville. Rams/Chiefs. Steelers/Eagles. Redskins/Ravens.
The good thing about the Browns is that their main natural rivals, Cincy and Pitt. are in their same division. You can even include the somewhat natural rivalry between the Browns and Ravens given the bastardized method by which that franchise originated. The only potential natural rival not in their division, as stated, is the Lions.

Well, going back a few years....1988, Browns got a Wild Card @ 10-6 using 3 QBs, as Kosar was lost for the season in the opener vs. KC. Mike Pagel was the starter for most of the remaining season, until he got hurt....we also went to Gary Danielson, and he broke his leg. The Browns had to go to Don Strock when Pagel went down.
So, it's not unprecedented...4 QBs, and a playoff birth.

It has been lopsided lately, but when you consider the fact that you lead the all time series by a measly 2 or so games, I'd say it's a damn good rivalry..
-
1. Packers vs Bears
2. Browns vs Steelers
3. Giants vs Eagles
4. Jets vs Patriots
5.Cheifs vs Raiders
One in two are a toss up because you can just tell how much the browns and steelers truly hate one another as to where the bears and packers i think is more of a tradition and theres a lil more respect amognst one another

Final Votes for The NFL's Greatest Rivalry:
Browns/Steelers 10 votes
Bears/Packers 8 votes
Cowboys/Redskins 8 votes
Chiefs/Raiders 7 votes
Jets/Patriots 4 votes
Giants/Eagles 4 votes
This Board being what it is I would have assumed that the # rivalry to win this vote is the one that did. Fair to say?

Good post! There is no Steelers/Browns rivalry unless you are referring to the old Browns, now Ravens, that is a good rivalry!The Steelers/Browns rivalry may be the oldest but it really doesn't even qualify as a rivalry. You had one team utterly dominate for decades and then a turn around to complete domination by the other team for decades. Just because the all time reocrd is close really doesn't mean anything in this case. In the grand scheme of things, there have been very few years of competition between the two teams for playoffs or titles.
I have one question for you then, if there is no rivalry etc. why are you here?

If it's not a rivalry as you say, then you wouldn't be all over here.
Your presence decries your own assertion.
How often are you on the Ravens board banging away at those fools?
In my mind, it is the fan base intensity about the rivalry, not strictly the win/loss record etc. that determines a rivalry.

There is no such thing as "Old Browns, now Ravens". No Browns/Ravens fan, no city official, no NFL official, no Browns/Ravens team official, no cat, no dog, no mouse recognizes any such thing.
If, indeed, the Steelers and Ravens have some sort of rivalry, that rivalry has to stand on its own merit. There are NO vestiges of the Browns/Steelers rivalry associated with that one.
If the Steeler/Raven rivalry cannot stand on its own merit, then it is not a rivalry even worth discussing.
By the way, on the poll that I did, the Steeler/Raven rivalry got all of one vote....same as the Buccaneers and Panthers.
(I can't recall, did you vote?)

in the burgh most Steeler fans would say the ravens are our biggest rival, citing that there has to be some back and forth for it to be considered a rivalry.
me? i think it's Steelers/browns. i don't know if there are two teams/cities/populations that hold more disdain for each other.
with all i've heard about Big Ben being a rapist and i go to a online sex offender registry and look up cleveland and Pittsburgh and what do i find? cleveland has a CRAP load more sex offenders (and expecially child molesters) than Pittsburgh.......over 4X as many over all. 2055 of them to Pittsburgh's 421. www.familywatchdog.us better never hear one of you date raping, can't get a woman with my tiny peep unless i hold her down, child molesting hypocrits say anything else about Ben. -

You guys just don't get it.......even though it's been said over and over again.You guys are just fun to watch. You're like the fat lady wearing the skimpy top at Walmart......you can't help but look.....and then......when she sees you looking and gets in your face about how smokin hot she is.....you just can't help but grab some pop-corn, watch the show, and laugh your ass off!
By the way, I notice that you didn't even bother to vote in the poll. And there were like 3 of you Steeler trolls that didn't (but a couple that did..one that did put both Steelers/Browns and Steelers/Ravens in top 5).
Why is it that the rest of you guys are incapable of such a simple task as stating what you think are the best 5 rivalries in the NFL? Is such a thing truly that mentally taxing for you?
Why is it that yinz are always so deficient at carrying on an interesting and meaningful discussion of this sort?
