The Cowboys seem obvious, but after that it gets interesting. The Seahawks seem obvious between Geographic proximity, their history in the regular season and playoffs, and their fans probably hating us equally to how we hate them. Past that, who else? I was thinking theres maybe 3 tiers:
Tier 1- Cowboys, Seahawks Tier 2- Packers, Raiders(?), Giants(?), Rams(!) Tier 3- Iono, maybe the Chiefs? The Vikings?
Let me know what you guys think.
For me it’s Cowboys, Packers, Toots, Giants.
Meeting teams multiple times in the playoffs, especially when the NFC was dominant, means more than 2 regular season games.
The Chiefs and the Eagles are teams I don’t like and not just because we lost to them in big games in recent years, but it’s not a rivalry. It’s just shitty fanbases.
I understand the Bay Area rivalry with the Raiders for many, but they were an LA team when I became a 49ers fan in the late 80s. I’d see their fans around the bay but they were irrelevant this whole time. They were only really good when Jerry went to play for them. I’d say the Raiders aren’t on even my radar.
