I personally view the Packers Vikings rivalry in football the same as the Red Sox Yankee rivalry of Baseball

That would be the Cowgirls and the Redskins. And I have to say that even though as of late Vikes/Pack get more attention, Bears/Pack have the tradition. I think we're bigger than the Raiders second rivalry on that list... writer was probably a raider's fan.

Packers vs. Bears is waayyyyy overrated, especially now. The Vikings vs. Packers rivalry has been A LOT more relevant over the past couple of years, hence why it's been on national television a lot more. If I remember correctly it was one of only a few games on Christmas Eve two years ago and this past year it was on Monday Night Football.

Steelers/Browns is also lame. The Browns have sucked too badly for too long for anyone to care. Steelers/Bengals is a very young rivalry, but at least people watch that! No one outside of Pittsburgh and Cleveland care about the Steelers/Browns rivalry.

i don't understand why people think the packer/bears game is so cool!! I agree, it is ovverated!!

I agree with both, that were are bigger then the Raider second rivalry and that he was probity a Raider fan I am wondering as to why he did not put down the Raider Charger rivalry I mean that was the only one missing from the AFC west division.:roll: Of course I do have to admit that I do like the Raider Bronco Rivalry. :wink:

Hands down! Viking's vs Packer's outshines any rivalry in the NFL to date. Both teams fans are absolutley rabid when it comes time for the two to play each other. I remember explaining it to a Lions fan this way: We could lose all other games during the season. However, if we beat the Slacker's twice it is still a good season to me!

two obvious rivalrys missing is

bengals steelers: when bill cower said who dey? we dey! after the superbowl and the hit on carson palmer just made this rivalry more intense.

pats colts: this game has decide who moves on in the playoffs alot and even though the pats easily control this rivalry it is a rivalry. the colt players hate the pats and likewise. the most intense when buill bellicheck let the grass grow in new england before there game.

I totally disagree with this. The original article was about all time rivalries, not ones that have just been created in the past couple years. Historically the Benglas-Steelers matchup has been lopsided, with the Steelers dominatiing and the Bengals being the laughing stock of the NFL.

The Pats-Colts matchup has only been around for four or five years. True rivalries span generations. Vikings fans and Packer fans hated each other before I was born. No one cared about Patriots vs. Colts back then.
