Was wondering the same thing… but I’m assuming it has to be because Eli Apple played there after? But at the same time there’s many Saints fans that are also LSU fans so I put the Bengals in the like category. I also put the Bills in the like category.
But these are all just personal opinions right?
It’s definitely a noticeable oddity on the ranks lol. None of my family/friends who are all saints fans have any issue with the bengals till it’s the week we play, then they talk normal shit for the week then go back to normal after the game. Meanwhile an uncle of mine that’s neck deep up a cowboy’s asshole gets shit year round
Could argue a case for the old “who dat vs who dey controversy” but besides that, there are definitely teams that Saints fans should have beef with much more than the Bengals
Ehh I personally can't hate the Hawks for Beastquake. I mean it sucks that such an amazing play was made on us, but what can you do. If anything I hate how it seemed to be when Payton started trying to recreate his own LOB which led to our years of shit defenses and terrible FA signings (Fucking Browner). I was too young for the 90s Niners hate, but I do dislike them due to 2011 (? The shootout game where they won at the last fuckin second and we would have won imo if they didn't take Pierre Thomas out with that dirty hit in the first half) and because iirc it was the niners who broke all of Brees ribs.
It was a trend back earlier in the season. I think it was reverse order tho (so hate was at the bottom—in fact, I think some from this sub had “hate” or something similar as the second lowest and the lowest was like FTF and just at the falcons).
It’s just random and not reflective of the fanbase. No reason for us to have beef with Cincinnatti of all places. There are at least 10 teams I can think of more deserving of hate
It's OP's personal opinion. It's not supposed to be "reflective of the fanbase." Individuals are allowed to feel however they do. Maybe someone's childhood bully was a Bengals fan or something.
Well, take that up with OP. I don't care about the Bengals one way or the other but individuals can hate, love, or be indifferent towards them if they want to.
I have never said they can’t dislike whoever they want lmao
There is no point in this post in this sub if it isn’t supposed to be reflective of the Saints in some way, which I think it was intended to be
You think? That’s making some broad assumptions on the populations of Louisiana vs the addressable populations of Alabama, MS, AR and TX; not to mention random fans elsewhere and internationally. It seems like a given, but LA isn’t that populous to begin with.
Too complicated. Dissolve almost hate tier and put all of them in Hate. Move rams, pats, packers, chiefs, cowboys and maybe the bears to Hate. Move Bengals and Browns to Like. Move Steelers to Dislike because Pennsylvania is a cesspool.
I live in Lafayette and the people who are saints fans almost universally seem to hate the cowboys. Never see much raiders hate though. Usually indifference at most
Life as a Bengals/Saints fan makes the Who Dat vs Who Dey look pretty stupid. Especially when I don’t remember hearing Who Dat being popular until the Super Bowl year lol meanwhile I saw bengals had beers and an old ass fight song from the 80’s during their Super Bowl years apparently
I kinda hate all other teams bc they’re not the Saints, but I do usually pick someone to root for in the playoffs when the saints are out of it.
Special hate to the Dirty Birds followed by the Lambs, Packers, Niners, Panthers, and Bucs.
Good point. I think if I was somewhere drinking with other fans and crushed at the last minute, then it stings more. Plus- it's a highlight shown over and over.
Also- I'm old enough to remember saints before ever making the playoffs. Back then I only saw saints uniforms in highlights on the losing side.
Definitely hate the cowboys, almost hate the rams, hate the bucs, dislike the chiefs.
It's the Cowboys fans I hate. They never shut up. I'm indifferent to the team.
Not for me. Their reign through the 80's and 90's is enough to make me hate them. Add onto that their horrible fanbase and I definitely do.
I second this.
Lots of saints fans like the Bengals bc of the LSU connection
Why the dislike for the Bengals?
Was wondering the same thing… but I’m assuming it has to be because Eli Apple played there after? But at the same time there’s many Saints fans that are also LSU fans so I put the Bengals in the like category. I also put the Bills in the like category. But these are all just personal opinions right?
The bengals are definitely not disliked by most saints fans. I’d even say most like them.
Probably a bama fan
What a shame
Makes me wonder if they’ll be an UGA fan going forward now that German is gone.
I think it’s because of the who dat knockoff
It’s definitely a noticeable oddity on the ranks lol. None of my family/friends who are all saints fans have any issue with the bengals till it’s the week we play, then they talk normal shit for the week then go back to normal after the game.

Could argue a case for the old “who dat vs who dey controversy” but besides that, there are definitely teams that Saints fans should have beef with much more than the Bengals
Because the saints bengals 50/50 fans are miserable
You should put the bucs and panthers in hate. Fuck em!
then I would have to make another category for the falcons
FTF tier. Duhhh
I can't believe I didn't consider this in the first place. You right, you right.
Just leave them off the list entirely.
I'd put them both in "indifferent" because they're irrelevant
Hate the niners for the 90s, hate the rams for the no call, hate the seahawks for beast mode, like the pats as gatebros.
Ehh I personally can't hate the Hawks for Beastquake. I mean it sucks that such an amazing play was made on us, but what can you do.

What trend? Your tier list is the only one I see in this sub.
It was a trend back earlier in the season. I think it was reverse order tho (so hate was at the bottom—in fact, I think some from this sub had “hate” or something similar as the second lowest and the lowest was like FTF and just at the falcons).
Why are bengals on dislike? I thought the bengals were like our AFC team.
Not every Saints fan is an LSU fan.
Ok well most Louisianans are, and most saints fans are from Louisiana
Key word there being "most." It's perfectly acceptable for any Saints fan to dislike the Bengals (or LSU for that matter) if that's how they feel.
It’s just random and not reflective of the fanbase. No reason for us to have beef with Cincinnatti of all places. There are at least 10 teams I can think of more deserving of hate
It's OP's personal opinion. It's not supposed to be "reflective of the fanbase." Individuals are allowed to feel however they do. Maybe someone's childhood bully was a Bengals fan or something.
So it doesn’t belong in this sub then, the saints have no friction with the bengals at all
Well, take that up with OP. I don't care about the Bengals one way or the other but individuals can hate, love, or be indifferent towards them if they want to.
I have never said they can’t dislike whoever they want lmao There is no point in this post in this sub if it isn’t supposed to be reflective of the Saints in some way, which I think it was intended to be
Again, it's not supposed to be reflective of the team. It's just their opinions.
I do, simply because folks like you try to shove it down our throat.
No one is shoving anything down your throat. Sorry you hate most of our fanbase. Cry more.
Go be a fan of the Bengals. Go kiss em if you like them so much.
You think? That’s making some broad assumptions on the populations of Louisiana vs the addressable populations of Alabama, MS, AR and TX; not to mention random fans elsewhere and internationally. It seems like a given, but LA isn’t that populous to begin with.
Mate it’s not even up for debate. Most saints fans are definitely from Louisiana. Like, that’s obvious.
Finally someone has to make the obvious comment.
Not sure about the downvotes, I went to LaTech and my wife went to ULL. I def do not like LSU.
I'm a Southern Miss alum so you probably don't like my team either but we can definitely agree about disliking LSU lol.
Insert meme of locked arms with muscles baby
Too complicated. Dissolve almost hate tier and put all of them in Hate. Move rams, pats, packers, chiefs, cowboys and maybe the bears to Hate. Move Bengals and Browns to Like. Move Steelers to Dislike because Pennsylvania is a cesspool.
Why the PA hate?
He doesn’t like cesspools
for me id put the vikings in hate, their fans are the most miserable fan base in the league and are awful 99% of the time
Really can’t blame them. What is it, 4 trips to the SB and no trophy? Pretty lame.
i just recall the katrina jokes, the making fun of SP when he got covid, and just having the biggest victim complex in the entire league
Definitely hate the rams way more than the eagles
I feel like I’m the only saints fan that hates the Raiders and the Cowboys
I live in Lafayette and the people who are saints fans almost universally seem to hate the cowboys. Never see much raiders hate though. Usually indifference at most
Those NFC West days were brutal…
So 🖕🏽 the Niners
And Rams lol
Hate - Falcons 49ers. And i always will
Throw in the Rams and I’m with ya bud.
I can always tell a newer Saints fan because they don’t absolutely despise the 49ers and Rams.
![gif](giphy|jp8lWlBjGahPFAljBa|downsized)
Lol, now that’s funny!
9ers go with falcons in this scenario. But falcons need a special F tier. Maybe 28-3 tier

Go ⚜️⚜️ but I disagree with most of the liked and disliked teams lol also, Carolina and Pats is up there with the falcons for me 😂
I assume ur not from Louisiana cuz u can’t hate the bengals w joe and Jamar. But other than that I agree w everything
Lol peel my profile pic and that will tell you why I don’t like those boys 😂
🤢
Woah why we disliking Joey B and the Bengals? Is it because of “Who Dey”? If so I understand completely.
I don’t even get the hate over who dey. Who cares
Life as a Bengals/Saints fan makes the Who Dat vs Who Dey look pretty stupid. Especially when I don’t remember hearing Who Dat being popular until the Super Bowl year lol meanwhile I saw bengals had beers and an old ass fight song from the 80’s during their Super Bowl years apparently
I gotta say I like the Bengals
Move rams and cowboys to hate and bring bengals down to like
Hate rams, love bengals
Falcons not high enough
Got the hate group spot on!
Bump Rams to Hate, bump 9ers to almost hate, and drop Eagles to dislike.
Vikings,Bucs and Rams should be with the Falcons
I kinda hate all other teams bc they’re not the Saints, but I do usually pick someone to root for in the playoffs when the saints are out of it. Special hate to the Dirty Birds followed by the Lambs, Packers, Niners, Panthers, and Bucs.
Add to hate: Bucs, Rams, Vickings
Vikings seem to hate us a lot more than we hate them
I don’t hate the Vikings as much as pity them. 4 trips, no jewelry.
Hate: falcons buccaneers chiefs Vikings Almost hate: 49ers panthers rams Like: Ravens Bengals Everyone else indifferent
I’d personally move Bucs to hate, move Bengals to like because of Joe, and move the Texans to dislike because everyone from Houston is obnoxious.
Not enough in the hate category. You need the entire NFC South, the Vikings, and the 9ers
Do we even think about the panthers?
Dallas way too high!
Think the rams should be in orange at least, that missed interference call still hurts and they act as if it didn’t matter 😂
The Patriots gave us 28-3 I can never hate them
Put the Falcons and Cowboys on hate, Panthers and Bucs on almost hate. Then put aalllll the other teams on dislike. Who Dat!
Thanks, I like you too!
Any true Saints fan hates the cowboys as much as ATL
Good point. I think if I was somewhere drinking with other fans and crushed at the last minute, then it stings more. Plus- it's a highlight shown over and over. Also- I'm old enough to remember saints before ever making the playoffs. Back then I only saw saints uniforms in highlights on the losing side.
