Both are big games imo, the Viking rivalry has intensified with farve in purple. Normally, I care more about beating the bears but this year was different for obvious reasons. |

I would say that the Bears are a bigger rivalry due to the length of time the rivalry has been in place. However, the last decade has seen the Vikes and Pack near the top of the NFCN more frequently and has been a big rivalry in recent memory. The lions...we just feel sorry about what they have to watch.

Sadly I have to agree with Phila.
The NFC East has better rivalries then the NFC North. I will also take the blame for that. The lions havent really held up their end of the bargin and really dont bring much to the table. They've been the red headed step child since the 50's. Pretty much any NFC East match up is a hate fest. |

Sadly I have to agree with Phila. In addition to missing a 4th team for the rivalry party, considering Philly fans are generally the angriest set of people I've ever met, I'd have to say the rivalries in that division trump the North overall. |

Sorry, the hatred is there for pretty much all teams in the division. Not really the case in the NFC North. As far as I'm concerned with who I hate more, it goes as such... Right now I've hated the Vikes the most for the last ten years or so considering the two teams have been the most evenly matched over that period of time. Then come the bears as they've had a few competitive years since 1985 and even another SB appearance. Right now considering the state of the organization it's hard to have much vigor in my hate for them. To me Lovey telling us his priority every year is to beat the Packers just doesn't instill much rage in me. He doesn't fire me up in the least. Of course, neither does McCarthy for that matter. The Lions bring up the rear for obvious reasons. I really wish there was a way to make Ford sell the team to bring in a group that will transform the organization into a competitive team. Not gonna happen, though. |

Packers and Bears have been rivals for twice as long as Dallas has even been a team. Names like 'Halas' and 'Lombardi' far surpass names like uhhh....... (psst, what *have* the Eagles won and when???) |

The thing he doesn't understand, Vegas, is that the Packers and Bears in the old days were both capable of winning a championship. Even in the modern era both have won Superbowls. History is fine and dandy, but what happened in the early 1900's doesn't have bearing on what the best rivalries NOW are. NFC East definitely has the best. All four teams hate each other. Who hates the Lions? |

I know the Eagles don't have one, but can you break down Super Bowls by division for me? In the NFC North (heck, in the old NFC Central) ALL the teams have been to the SB multiple times or won it with the exception of the Lions. And if you go back to the pre-SB days, The Bears and Pack have World Championships under their belt. The Eagles have batteries...and Santa. |

Please don't try to take credit for what the Giants, Cowboys and Redskins have accomplished. If you go back past the Super Bowl era then all of the NFC East teams have championships too. Two horrid arguments from you. Nice work. And the Vikings haven't won the Super Bowl. Only the Packers and Bears have. And they have far less than the NFC East teams. |
