I was at the 49ers game and one of their fans said “Y’all hate us!” and I responded “No we don’t!”
It got me thinking, what are our current rivalry power rankings.
- Packers - Of course
- Lions - Have had excellent games against them in the past two seasons. Also, I feel there is some actual bad blood with the current teams
- Eagles - Seem to play them every year, fans suck
- Bears - Moved into the slot the Lions used to occupy
- Saints - Not like it was when Brees was there, but still don’t like them
Honorable Mention: Cowboys
This is exactly correct in order and reason.
Just to add:
I fully believe we would have won that SB too w/o bountygate. Imagine if that picture of Brett’s leg surfaces today after all the Brady/Rodgers rule changes.
Eagles not only embarrassed us, their fans treated players families and fans terribly and then tore up our stadium (physically removed chairs, etc.) two weeks later.
Edit: wanted to add that of course you could argue that if Brett happened today the unsolicited pics would have sunk him before we got there
To your point about the Eagles - I hate the Packers more than I hate Packer fans. I hate Eagles fans soooooo much more than I hate their team. Truly some of the scum of the earth.
