Out Of Divison Rivals


Recommended Posts

Outside of the obvious ones in our division, what other teams would you consider to be rivals?

 

For me personally:

 

  • Jacksonville. Marrone, Dareus, Ramsey talking crap about Allen and of course knocking us out of the playoffs. I'm sure the fistfight that happened this year will only strengthen that.
  • Tennessee. Music City Travesty. The whole Bud Adams middle finger deal. Some might say the comeback, but I pin things like that on Houston, even though they're technically a different team.

Not sure I'd consider Dallas a rivalry anymore. Yeah, they beat us in two Super Bowls. But it's not like they "stole it" from us. But neither team has done anything special in years. With all the former players/coaches/FO staff, I can see a friendly rivalry budding with Carolina. There's also a friendly one with Cleveland. The whole small, cold city, loyal, blue collar fanbase, but mostly lousy teams the past few years.

The Bills have no real rivals outside of the Division but neither do any of the teams in the league with the exception of a few typical playoff contenders that seem to go head to head on a more regular basis. When you finish 8-8 for 20 straight years...no one cares.

i think the Jags are quickly climbing up that list.  a gritty playoff game followed by an all out brawl.  as good a choice as any for us.  

 

im hoping for us to develop a nice browns rivalry for years to come with baker and allen going toe to toe.  that would be fun.

Agree with the consensus. I think the Jags are our #1 rival currently, no division qualifiers. I'm hoping Cleveland is our main rival over the next few years, would love Allen & Mayfield to dominate the AFC after years of suffering from the fanbases.

 

the Jags?

 

that might be my 20th pick if i didn't fall asleep in this opportunity to sit there and guess

Living in Houston, I've met a lot of Oilers fans still salty about the Comeback. Even if we ignore that they're technically two separate franchises, that's more of a one way thing, as I don't think the Bills or our fans have any reason to have animosity towards Houston.
