2021 Who is our 'Rival'?

Im trying to think about who is our biggest rival and I think that changes through the years...

 

In our prime, around the 2015 team I would have said that Seattle would have been our biggest rival team. The Cam vs Russel and Luke vs Wagner. But I feel like that has fizzed out. 

The last 2 years I could maybe see that being the Saints (cause fugg'em Saints).. or even the Bills/WTF with all the Carolina connections. 

This year... Im not sure who feels like the biggest rivalry game. 

 

Who do you guys 'feel' it is?

Back when I was in high school, a guy I knew who was an assistant coach at an opposing school asked me that question. I named his school.

He responded, "You know who our rival is?" I asked who.

He said, "Whoever we're playing this week."

That always kinda stuck with me.

Fantasy-wise...its us and Tampa Bay dueling it out at the end of the season to win the division.

Reality-wise it's whoever we play next, because we're a team with a losing record that doesn't matter to anyone but ourselves.

I always thought it was the Saints given they kept trying to take out Smitty and injure our players and poo all the time. Followed by get off our field meg ryan and such.

Perhaps it was Jerry Richardson this whole time lol

Never knew NFL teams had rivals, or chants.  Thought that was just college.

I’ll ask an old John McKay question....which rival/opponent is the sweetest victory, which the most painful loss.  Regardless of the opponents win/loss history?

    • Give me Anthony Hill Jr or give me death
    • We need a Sam Off Ball Backer to pair with Lloyd. Lloyd is a strong Interior Will especially in Pass Coverage- but that is also Trevin Wallace’s archetype. Need a Rozeboom style run stopper. Rodriguez and Allen fit that
    • There aren’t that many ways to screw Day 2 up.  That’d be them making an obvious reach, or selecting at one of the few positions that we are pretty solid at. Because as excited as we are for the growth and improvement this team is showing, it’s still not an overly talented or deep roster. Honestly, there aren’t really many positions I’d feel bad about. Feelings about Bryce aside (because we are not going to select a QB), it’s really RB (bad positional value) and that’s it. I guess OT too since we grabbed Freeling in Round 1.    While not as high on my wish list as other spots, you can justify WR or TE.     Interior offensive lineman who would likely take over an interior spot either this year (at center) or guard (next for cap casualty of Hunt or Lewis)? Fine by me.   Dlineman? Yes, that’s a highly rotational position and we have zero quality depth.    ILB? Yep, could stand for an upgrade over Wallace.    EDGE? Absolutely wouldn’t hate another option to spell Phillips, Scourton, and Princely.    FS?  Would love to add better coverage skill set to the backend of the defense. Moehrig and Ransom are great in run support but not as good deep. Adding a more traditional FS would allow us to mix and match/run some 3 safety sub packages and or a big nickel type look with a SS down near the line for better run support in possible pass downs.    CB? Could stand to get better at nickel.
