Thought the rival should be part of the NFC South.  I am not sure we have an indisputable, biggest rival.  The Commanders and the Cowboys, the Chiefs and Raiders, the Steelers and the Ravens, etc.  Who is ours?  Let's put it to the test.

The problem with Atlanta, and I was discussing this with a friend from Atlanta, is the Falcons and Panthers have rarely been good at the same time--it seems we have battled with Tampa Bay a lot when both teams were respectable.  I want it to be Atlanta--based on the geography alone--and that we have been rival cities for dominance in the Southeast, if you don't count Florida as a Southern state (because it is actually a giant assisted living center).

I agree it'd be a more cemented rivalry if there was a sustained period of success for both franchises. For me personally, they are just the team I harbor the most animosity against. It probably has something to do with coming of age as a fan in the Mike Vick era and watching him shred our defense twice a year. Just something about that team makes me dislike them more than the Saints, even after bountygate and years of Sean Payton.

In all honesty we're the third wheel rival to the Saints and the Falcons. We are the NC State to their Duke and UNC. Tampa is Wake Forest.

we lost our team character and personality during the rhule years. we lost our identity. 

you need to have that to have a rivalry going. so we don't really have one right now. i think we'll get one, but the NFCS has been so bad for so long i think none of us have really any bravado or reason for it.

Im gonna go with the Saints. I've always had some respect for the Buccaneers. The Saints have always been a trash team that only got anywhere because of bounty gate and the refs playing storymode post Katrina to give them a Cinderella story. Brees is also one of the most overrated QB's of all time. 

I hated the Falcons in the Vick era because he always owned us, but we seem go tit for tat with them.

      It is time to Consider the Likelihood of WR at #19

      By strato · Posted

      We are in a unique situation here. Just my opinion. Three things: Moton’s playing health has been gradually declining as he is aging, while his contract is a drag on the payroll.  Something will give with him sooner than later but I think 2026 could be it.  So.. need a right tackle by 2027. At the latest.    Icky’s individual situation is unique as well. They would have had an extension done by now if not for the injury. We only have him for this year. With no assurance he will ever be the same player.  It would be reckless just to assume. Now we have Walker for one year. And that is a major relief. Maybe he is the answer, but the team that knows him best let him go and it was cheap for us to sign him. So how much did they value him?    We look to be needing two tackles by 2027.  And have poo for depth this year as well. So anyway we could draft a guy for 2027 RT and groom him this year, and see how Icky does, and act as needed in 2027. Spread out filling the two holes over 2 years.    Then I remember, hey if Bryce doesn’t get a Lot more consistent do they extend him? Hoping not, if he isn’t really good.    So then we are looking at the 2027 draft which people say is gonna be loaded with QBs. If we need a LT and a QB what is the pick gonna get spent on?   Taking into account the recovery success rates cited here on the Icky surgery, you might want to plan for him to not be the same player. rather than assume he will be and get caught with your pants down.  It is a tough situation.    And factor in that it is critically important to protect this QB, always, but especially this year where it is said to be make or break. And how you might feel about that.    All of it points to a real possibility that these things converge in the negative, like Bruce sucks and Icky is not the same. In that case if you want to be assured of getting LT secured, the only place you can do that through the draft could be very well be 2026 1st round.     For me, I would like to err on the side of caution.  Cover for these outcomes. It wouldn’t be fun. Added benefit is if we do have a tackle go down this year we will have a guy there. Because I don’t know what we have now.

      Mike Kaye: “I would keep a pretty close eye on {KC Concepcion}.”

      I agree. In a perfect world I wouldn’t want to draft another WR, but in this draft it’s fine based on the value of who will be there at #19.  All of the top tier guys worth pick #19 at other positions of need will be long gone. Only exception is Dillon Thieneman, but he’s almost a shoe in for the Vikings as the Harrison Smith replacement. Some posters on here want to draft an OT just to check a box without realizing the concerns and risk that comes along with said player. Sounds like XL to me… desperately drafting need… KC is a pretty safe player.  Produced all 3 years in college and last year in the SEC vs a lot of top corners in this years draft. He single handily dropped the South Carolina CB Brandon Cisse’s draft stock with how bad he abused him.   Sometimes it’s best to try and hit a double instead of going for the home run. This draft screams “go for the double”. Esp in the first.

      Look at what the Bears have done with Caleb Williams, drafting playmaking WR's and TE's and making it easier for him to operate the offense. Conception is perfect for what the offense needs (speed and someone who can make defenders miss) and as today, April 11th, I think he's the pick @19
