NFL's Biggest Rivalries

Good post! There is no Steelers/Browns rivalry unless you are referring to the old Browns, now Ravens, that is a good 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?

Fair deal. Too many times the media touts these "Flavor of the month" rivalries based simply on the fact that during a particular time frame two particular teams are good and are vying for supremacy. E.g.: the Pats/Colts rivalry.
Well, that is only good because those two teams have been fighting for AFC Supremacy for the past decade and they both have what may be the two best QBs in the game. But Colts/Pats is NOT a natural, long standing rivalry.
On the other hand the Ravens/Steelers SHOULD be a true rivalry....they are in the same division, the cities are relatively close (239 miles....which is closer than Cleveland is to Cinci), they are both "older rust belt" cities, and, yes, they both play hard nosed football.
In reality, another city that should be in this rivalry group is Buffalo. It is only 190 miles from Cleveland and 212 miles from Pittsburg, much closer than the other AFC East teams. Plus it has much more in common with Cleveland and Pittsburgh than it does with Boston or Miami. Fair to say?

I'll bet if you asked the same question in any city on your list, that team would finish on top. That shouldn't surprise you. The one vote for Steelers/Ravens was probably the only Steeler fan to vote......probably a new guy who hasn't had the opportunity to read your plethora of self serving, drivel, posts
At least my posts ascend to the level of self serving drivel. Yours don't even get there.

We don't have time to answer useless drivel.Time? I doubt that. You don't have the intellect, apparently.
This seemed like a fairly straight forward proposition: Name what you think are the NFL's greatest rivalry.
I suggest that your inability to do that speaks volumes.

Do you really want to insert yourself in the middle here?

He realizes there is no middle if there is nothing on your side of the discussion.You haven't even presented a side.
The "discussion is simply this: What, in your opinion, are the 5 best rivalries in the NFL?
I have given my opinion and listed mine. You haven't. I guess I will let others speculate on the reason why.

I think you honestly believe that what you type incessantly is actually worth reading based on merit rather than comic relief! Come on admit it.....you do don't you?What I think is that I often make remarks too intelligent for you to comprehend, that my voluminous knowledge is intimidating to you, that my resourcefullness is overwhelming to you, and that your only defense mechanisms to all that are to engage in denial and diversion and to practice selective inattention to matters at hand.

Plus I'll bet you have lots of "butt" buddies you met at work.
