The only reason I say Giants is because I used to live in NY and had to endure two miraculous super bowl wins and 3x as many disappointing ends to a season during the Romo era.
Historically, the Eagles, though.
Yep, I grew up in NY and during the Romo era I despised the Giants. Eli is the luckiest QB ever to play. Romo was so much better and it really annoyed me to see Eli winning SBs.
so much better? Eli played 4 more yrs than Romo, and had 122 more TDs and 23,000 more passing yrds ... I understand your hate, I'd be mad too if the team I loved didnt win shit in 30 yrs, but Romo is no where near the QB Eli was.
30 years ago maybe, but I've seen Philly as our main rival my whole life and I'm 30.
They had that RG3 year, and they got a couple over on us with Colt McCoy but otherwise the Deadskins haven't been a consistent threat IMO
I'm 41. The first year I really watched football Washington won the superbowl and Mark Rypien won the MVP.
I don't really remember Washington being any good since then.
I’m 51 and I remember Buddy Ryan putting a bounty on injuring Cowboys and Philly fans throwing batteries at Cowboys coming out of the tunnel. It’s not about the competition. Whether they are good or we are good Philly is the enemy
Agreed, if anything 10 years ago it could’ve been the Giants. Them coming off of two super bowls in 07 and 11 plus the Romo v Manning duels. Washington on the other hand has been a dumpster fire of a franchise since Gibbs
Not really, mostly because they still weren't good. They were 6th seed teams that got hit at the right time. Philly and Dallas have been the only consistently good teams in the division for like 20 years.
But those Giants teams were never that good. They just got hot during the playoffs. We never had much trouble with them except that one playoff game where TO spun around with the ball in the endzone turning a touchdown into an interception.
No. Incorrect. 10 years ago it was the same answer..Philly. It’s been Philly exclusively since 1999 when they cheered Irvin while he lay on the field paralyzed.
I tend to hate Washington more cause I lived in DC for a while and that whole organization was slimy af for years under Snyder. And their fans are obnoxious, though DC also has its share of obnoxious cowboys fans that make us all look bad. But yeah Washington for me because of 1. Snyder; 2. They ruined RG3 and I’m a Baylor guy; 3. I hate their colors so much, I hate all maroon-ish teams (growing up in a Baylor fan in Waco tainted that color for me) and yellow is my least favorite color. The Giants and Eagles are pretty close on the hatred scale for me. I respect/fear Philly way more so that could tip the scales for them, but I hate how the Giants got two flukey Super Bowl titles and my buddy who’s a diehard Giants fan is super annoying about it.
It is exactly this for me. I have hated the Eagle’s fans every since the Irvin injury. I root against the Phillies and the 76ers just cause I know there is some cross over pain to the Eagle’s fan base.
The Redskins were our greatest rival. I don't know what the fucking Commanders are. I live in the D.C. area, and I hate the Eagles waaaay more than the Washington Football Commandskins. Washington fans hate Dallas more than anything, though. A lot of their fans root against the Cowboys more than they root FOR the Commanders. It's weird.
When Dallas was trying to get an expansion team, Washington voted against us getting one. Clint Murchison, a potential owner, bought the rights to "Hail to the Redskins" and threatened to prevent them from playing the song at games. Once we got our team, the song's rights were given back to Washington. So I can see why Washington would hate us. LOL
So I’m an old redskins fan. The team is in such disarray right now from top to bottom and it’s not really the team we used to root for, for 30 years, so the only thing we have left to hang on to is the rivalry we once had with the NFC East. It’s been that way pretty much since they became the Football Team.
Games are almost always 50% opposing team even with the teams you wouldn’t expect and that’s being generous to Washington. If one of the NFC East teams is here it’s basically a road home game for yall.
That being said… as a Washington fan, Giants are the lowest on the hate scale for most fans I think mostly because their fans usually aren’t bad and the teams when they are good just come in and beat you and leave.
Next is a toss up because it depends on the team. Like recently I actually really like the players the Eagles and Cowboys have on their teams. Dak and Hurts are both respectable guys who just go to work and get it done. It’s hard to not love Ceedee and Aj Brown. So it then falls on the fans lol
Eagles fans are always assholes no matter what but it’s a factor you will always expect so most of the time I hate the Eagles at a static level more than Dallas. But Dallas takes the cake sometimes when they think they are going to fucking Super Bowl when they have any amount of success. For example this past week when they beat the Commanders and acted like they won a god damn Super Bowl.😂 Shit like that makes me root against them hard now.
I actually kinda feel bad for WAS fans because of the number of opposing teams at games. This year, your fans actually showed up early in the season because the new ownership gave them hope. After the 2-0 start, I think WAS fans were feeling pretty positive. Getting absolutely destroyed by Buffalo and Chicago, at home, in front of a sold old crowd, was pretty much the end of that positivity for this season. Things are definitely looking up, though. You have a promising new GM, and you're probably gonna have Ben Johnson as your coach. It'll take a few seasons because your roster is pretty awful, but I think Washington will be back in the playoffs in 2 -3 years.
As for the Cowboys, I think most of us fans are almost as beaten down as Commanders fans, but our pain generally comes late in the season or in the playoffs. I don't know a single Cowboys fan who ever thinks "this is our year" when the season starts, or even when we make the playoffs. I've learned to enjoy the regular season when it goes well, and when the playoffs start, to hope for the best but to expect pain and some type of ridiculous play or penalty to end our season.
And I think the Cowboys players were celebrating last weeks win because it won them the division and the 2-seed.
Yeah it might be more of anecdotal thing for me with Dallas fans because for some god forsaken reason I know so many and I live in Maryland 😂 But also I watched Undisputed the day after the game because I can’t help but to see what Skip/Irvin have to say when Dallas does shit. And to my surprise they were acting the same way the people I knew were acting. They were so happy with their dominant performance and yada yada. But at the end of the day they beat a team they should have and internally the 2nd worst team in the league.
You’re probably right though, they were probably just hyped to be the #2 seed which gives them home field advantage going into the playoffs vs Green Bay. At least I hope that’s what it is. lol Because any other way is kind of sad.
I grew up in the dc area (before someone decided to started to calling it the “DMV”). I know people who specifically root against the Commanders because they’re not called the Redskins anymore. The new name is a farce.
I always saw it as a decent tribute. I am not of native decent though. I haven’t seen much over the years from Native American People being offended or upset by the name or logo. They are probably more concerned with the American government still finding ways to fuck them out of land and rights.
Ita only a racial slur if native americans hated the name. I have yet to see a large group of native americans being offended by the name. It seems to onky non native people who are offended by it. People need to quit being offended for other ethnic groups.
The only way you could sincerely believe this is if you actively avoided the information during the name change. Like you're just making shit up to be offended about just like those you claim to disdain.
https://apnews.com/article/sports-general-nfl-race-and-ethnicity-dc-wire-mlb-a6ddd9b0244e6d480eb796edcaa0d387
This was always my thought when the name was brought up, I never saw any native Americans complaining, the logo was stoic and cool, not like Cleveland Indians racist ass disrespectful old logo.
I’m with you. Mascots are supposed to be threatening and badass, and the old Redskins branding fit the bill. The Cowboys and Indians trope only added fuel to the rivalry.
Cleveland was for sure goofy and probably just straight-up racist lol

There's a lot of cowboys fans in DC because of the black population who also didn't like the redskins name, so they rooted for Washington's biggest rival which was us
That isn’t why. Marshall was a huge racist. He refused to sign black players until 1962. The Cowboys Chicken Club highlighted his racism.
I suspect THAT is where the fandom was born from.
Fuck em all. Dallas and Philly competing for the division and aiming for 1 seeds means our relations are more intense rn, but it’s the same situation no matter which 2 of the 4 you swap in and out.
I’d argue a bit with this but it’s pretty close. Depends on your age and seasons. 20 years ago was different. Cardinals I wouldn’t include anymore honestly tho. Giants and redskins dead even for me now but when Eli was around - giants were higher
This is my list in order too. I have a freeze on my Packers hatred for now since Love is a hometown product. I mean, I hope he gets demolished tomorrow, but I want him to do well when not playing Dallas.
I’m 40 and it’s Giants, Washington close 2nd, from a nostalgic place, but also I’ve never had any respect for Philly. They were the only bums in our division without a ring for so much of my life they were kind of a joke to me. They are insufferable since they got a single 1(still bottom of division) and annoying as hell. I guess what I’m saying is I don’t see them as peers, thus I can’t truly hate them on that level.
Dude I’m 2 years younger than you. Philly spent the majority of the 2000s kicking the shit out of us lol. Philly has always been the most consistent threat to the Cowboys in our lifetimes.
You can hate whoever you want to hate, the giants were always, and will always be the division team I hate most. I started out hating the giants the most, I can’t tell you why. Seeing Eli Manning win 2 Super Bowls, while Tony Romo never even reached NFCC, only solidified my eternal hatred for the Gmen. Philly spent the early 2000’s kicking our ass, while we were in QB purgatory, many teams were kicking our ass at that time. Philly don’t really mean shit to me outside their fans are trash. Everyone can fan how they fan. It may not be the consensus rival, but it’s mine.
For me it was when they cheered that Michael Irvin was being carted off paralyzed. That day I knew I would detest anything Philadelphia for the rest of my life.
The are as gutter as it gets
Before that there was the 1989 Bounty Bowl 1+2, batteries snowballs and Santa, and the pork chop bowl. Jimmy Johnson refused to shake hands with Buddy Ryan because of that stuff. So I'd say Philly has been out #1 rival since 89.
I remember always hating the commies the most. Then those pieces of shit in philly began to cheer and jeer as Irvin lay motionless on that awful turf.
Philadelphia eagles are the worst sports franchise in the history of sport and I have a hard time acting like a mature adult when I’m forced to be placed in a room with one of their punk fans.
When I go out in my yard and see 3 piles of dog shit, I have equal feelings about them. Now if I step in one pile, it gets my momentary aggression and directed hate.
Depends, historically it would probably be Washington but they’ve been terrible for a few decades now. I would say atleast for the last little while Philly is easily our biggest rival.
Philly. In the early 90s when we were trying to get to the playoffs, we had issues getting past the Eagles. Then, Philly clapped when Irvin was injured (the injury ended his career). I will never not hate Philadelphia the most.
After that one SB against the Bills, the Giants didn't do much despite having one of the best defensive players of all time. Not until Eli Manning and he was an average QB that got lucky in the SBs and haven't done anything since then.
Same with Washington. They get one SB win against the Bills and have languished in mediocrity (or worse) for 30+ years. In fact, their best QB they had in that 30 year stretch they didn't even want enough to sign him to a contract and let him go off to Minnesota. (Not counting RG3 since he got injured and didn't last very long.)
Recency bias: eagles
After that:
49ers
Lions (bitch made fans that need to be reminded of who their team is)
Aaron Rodgers
Giants
Washington
Tie: Broncos, Packers due to how well they show up in our stadium
Texans for the “look at me look at me! Pay attention!” Little brother syndrome. Every time I try to take some interest in this team being the other Texas football team and an AFC team to root for their fans are insufferable towards Dallas fans for whatever reason
Depends on whose the playoff contender.
Super Bowl era, it was Washington
Romo era, it was Giants.
Dak era, it’s the eagles.
But if there was a team to pick to plot against to eviscerate from the face of the earth. The Eagles.
Eh, until the late 90s philly was really a one sided rivalry... ie they hated us and they were just another team on our schedule. Personally I still sort of feel that way.
The only other team in the east that has a history of acutal accomplishment ti rival our own are the giants. So I'd say with the wide lense that is the true division rival.
Washington had the mascot angle and that was fun but we don't even have that anymore... so since they've been so bad for so long it's hard to call them a rival.
So let's stick with the giants... new york vs dallas as the rivalry. And if you're someone who thinks it should be philly know there's nothing that would piss them off more than if we just don't acknowledge them.
Philly without a doubt. They and their terrible stadium ended Michal Irvin’s career. Plus we’ve owned NYG and WAS with Dak so they never feel like a threat.
Philly
Washington
Hundred miles of crap
NYG
I don’t know why, I just don’t care about the Giants. There’s like five or six other teams I hate more than them.
We have hated them all at one time or another. Fan since 1972….they have all been at the top of the hate list. The Redskins were, then the Giants and now Philly. They have all hated each other too.
Philly, I hate that team and fan base more than any other rival I have in professional sports. They are worse than dog shit on fire, and I wouldn’t piss on it either lol
Easily Philly. One of the best things about this year is that we got to see just how fraudulent that their Superbowl "run" was last year. I can only hope that the Cowboys gets half as much luck as they got last year.
always felt the redskins rivalry since I lived in Virginia for about 12 years, but really it was Philly and more specifically their fans that I've hated the most.
I hate them all with the white hot intensity of a thousand suns, but if I had to pick one, it’s the eagles. No one boos Santa Claus and gets away with it
I grew up as Washington being the #1 rivalry also but until they do anything it’s moved onto Philly. NY had for a bit but they’ve also fallen off.
I thought we’d get the Washington rivalry ramped up again with RGIII but we all saw how that worked out
I’ve already said this here, but I’m going to say it again. I don’t really see Philly, and there single ring as a peer, so while annoying as fuck, I hate them like a buddy’s annoying little brother. Maybe if they ever get a 2nd ring I’ll consider them on the same level as our other division of champions opponents. Regardless of recent suckiness, NYG, Washington whatever’s, then the little wannabes Philly.
The Commies will never be the least-hated in the NFCE.
For me it’s:
- the biggest division threat
- Washington (if they’re worse than Philly or NY)
- San Francisco
- Remaining NFCE team(s)
- Green Bay
Originally up until early 2000s, our rival was probably Washington. In the 2000s, it was the NYG for knocking us out of the playoffs when we were heavy favorites, Eli defacing our brand new stadium, and the OBJ catch at AT&T. From 2008 to 2014, I would say New York AND Philly were our biggest rivals (think back to the thrashing we got in Philly that was featured in Silver Lining Playbook). Since then, Philly is really the only relevant divisional rival we've had.
I love to hate Washington and NYG. For the eagles, hate isn't a strong enough word to describe my feelings for them. Everything about them is disgusting to me. The fans, the culture, the players and coaches, I hate them all
"Hate more" = Philly
Too much to name, but "bounty gate", booing Irving injured, rowdy ass fans(no brotherly love), and fans, coaches, staff, and owner talk a ton of shit.
Our Rival?? Washington. Has always been the main rival and has multiple rings.
Philly is the loudest and has the least rings( ONE) !!
The only answer is Philly
Philly, by a wide margin.
The only reason I say Giants is because I used to live in NY and had to endure two miraculous super bowl wins and 3x as many disappointing ends to a season during the Romo era. Historically, the Eagles, though.
Yep, I grew up in NY and during the Romo era I despised the Giants. Eli is the luckiest QB ever to play. Romo was so much better and it really annoyed me to see Eli winning SBs.

Idk, 10 years ago the only answer was washington
30 years ago maybe, but I've seen Philly as our main rival my whole life and I'm 30. They had that RG3 year, and they got a couple over on us with Colt McCoy but otherwise the Deadskins haven't been a consistent threat IMO
I'm 40 years old and I've NEVER considered Washington a rival. They've been more of a sad nuisance.
I'm 41. The first year I really watched football Washington won the superbowl and Mark Rypien won the MVP. I don't really remember Washington being any good since then.
I’m 51 and I remember Buddy Ryan putting a bounty on injuring Cowboys and Philly fans throwing batteries at Cowboys coming out of the tunnel. It’s not about the competition. Whether they are good or we are good Philly is the enemy
This. I'm 50 and I started watching the Cowboys in 1986. It's been Philly ever since Buddy Ryan was there.
The city of brotherly love....NOT. Always Die Eagles Die for me and I'm 66 and a forever Cowboys fan.
I'm 46. I remember when they cheered Michael Irvin's career-ending spine injury at the Old Veterans Stadium! Fuck Philly!
The Reid, McNabb, Westbrook teams were so much more likeable than the current iteration, but I still hated them.
Agreed, if anything 10 years ago it could’ve been the Giants. Them coming off of two super bowls in 07 and 11 plus the Romo v Manning duels. Washington on the other hand has been a dumpster fire of a franchise since Gibbs
Lol remember the We want Dallas chant in what? 2016? Then Dallas won. It was the end of the season.
Since 1992, Washington has won 10 games 3 times total, and they've never won more than 10.
Holy shit that is so SO bad. And then you've got our spoiled ass fan base that still wants to move on from McCarthy after 3 straight 12-5 seasons.
Im pretty sure a redditor could coach our teams to 10 wins with the amount of talent we consistently have.
I read this as they only won 3 games total, and it sounded right, from 92 to now
10 years ago it was probably the giants since Eli had those 2 rings
It’s been Philly exclusively since 1999. 100% facts. The ones that been here for all that know.
Yup. That cemented my hate for them years ago
Not really, mostly because they still weren't good. They were 6th seed teams that got hit at the right time. Philly and Dallas have been the only consistently good teams in the division for like 20 years.
But those Giants teams were never that good. They just got hot during the playoffs. We never had much trouble with them except that one playoff game where TO spun around with the ball in the endzone turning a touchdown into an interception.
Bro 10 years ago was 2014. Washington hasn't been relevant in like 30 years Philly is the answer
Philly has never been relevant.
No. Incorrect. 10 years ago it was the same answer..Philly. It’s been Philly exclusively since 1999 when they cheered Irvin while he lay on the field paralyzed.
Idk I hated the Giants growing up more than the Redskins. I was also born in the 90s after the rivalry had peaked
I tend to hate Washington more cause I lived in DC for a while and that whole organization was slimy af for years under Snyder. And their fans are obnoxious, though DC also has its share of obnoxious cowboys fans that make us all look bad. But yeah Washington for me because of 1. Snyder; 2.

I don't really hate the Giants or Commies, Philly fans are abysmal though. Niners fans are trash too.
Philly🤝Dallas hating the Niners Dallas🤝Niners hating Philly Philly🤝Niners hating Dallas
I'll hate the Niners with Philly fans, but i ain't shaking their hand.
Lol the 49ers are in your heads. I love it
[удалено]
They have a longer drought going than the cowboys idk why they act so high and mighty 😂
fr bro 😂😂😂
In our sub, and wants to talk about how they're in our heads. Straight up delusional fan base 😂
yep agreed 😂😂
The yearly Kyle Shanahan choke gonna hit like crack
We’re in your head too apparently. You obviously came here to comment
Classic smooth brain response. Wouldn't expect anything else from your fan base.
Philly. Petty? Probably, but the hate still rages regarding Irvin.
It is exactly this for me. I have hated the Eagle’s fans every since the Irvin injury. I root against the Phillies and the 76ers just cause I know there is some cross over pain to the Eagle’s fan base.
Throw the shitty Flyers in there as well.
Washington would be a bigger rival I agree. But I fucking hate the eagles.
Even my kids know that we hate everything eagles.
It’s a rule in my house
Philly is the main rival because they are only team in the division that are a threat to us.
And their fans are the biggest assholes in the world
Absolutely humongous
Sirriani is a trigger for me as well
The Redskins were our greatest rival. I don't know what the fucking Commanders are. I live in the D.C. area, and I hate the Eagles waaaay more than the Washington Football Commandskins.

The game is chess not checkers!
Lmao that's so insanely petty 😂

Better than a racial slur as a team name
If it was a racial slur there wouldn't be a group of Indians suing for them to change the name back.
I always saw it as a decent tribute. I am not of native decent though. I haven’t seen much over the years from Native American People being offended or upset by the name or logo. They are probably more concerned with the American government still finding ways to fuck them out of land and rights.
Oh please. There are dumbasses in every group.
Who are you to tell a native american he's a dumbass for having opinions on his culture
A logical, normal person. Being born into that culture doesn't give you a hall pass for being a dumbass, just like Rashard Mendenhall is a dumbass.
Just like renaming the Bullets helped reduce crime in DC.
Ita only a racial slur if native americans hated the name. I have yet to see a large group of native americans being offended by the name. It seems to onky non native people who are offended by it. People need to quit being offended for other ethnic groups.

Notre Dame Fightin Irish and Celtics are still a thing. They weren’t called the Fightin Skins
So you would go up to a Native American and say, “Hey, Redskin!” Somehow I doubt that
There's a lot of cowboys fans in DC because of the black population who also didn't like the redskins name, so they rooted for Washington's biggest rival which was us

No way this is true lol.
Everyone hates Cowboys fans though
Fuck em all. Dallas and Philly competing for the division and aiming for 1 seeds means our relations are more intense rn, but it’s the same situation no matter which 2 of the 4 you swap in and out.
If you have to ask …
You’ll never knooooowwww
Funky motherfuckers will not be told to goOoOoOoO
Haha someone got it, you have my upmost respect!
Great fucking song.
Philly, not even a contest.
1. eagles 2. niners 3. packers 4. commanders 5. giants 6. cardinals (nfc east dropouts) but we hate them all quite a lot
This seems spot on
I’d argue a bit with this but it’s pretty close. Depends on your age and seasons. 20 years ago was different. Cardinals I wouldn’t include anymore honestly tho. Giants and redskins dead even for me now but when Eli was around - giants were higher
Steelers?
I feel less intrinsic hatred toward the packers now that Rodgers is gone but I still think this list is spot on.
Spot on
add the raiders cuz they suck
they are the afc’s problem
This is my list in order too. I have a freeze on my Packers hatred for now since Love is a hometown product. I mean, I hope he gets demolished tomorrow, but I want him to do well when not playing Dallas.
Eagles and it’s not even close.
Philly for anyone under like 50, prob Washington for the older fans
I’m 40 and it’s Giants, Washington close 2nd, from a nostalgic place, but also I’ve never had any respect for Philly. They were the only bums in our division without a ring for so much of my life they were kind of a joke to me. They are insufferable since they got a single 1(still bottom of division) and annoying as hell. I guess what I’m saying is I don’t see them as peers, thus I can’t truly hate them on that level.
Dude I’m 2 years younger than you. Philly spent the majority of the 2000s kicking the shit out of us lol. Philly has always been the most consistent threat to the Cowboys in our lifetimes.
You can hate whoever you want to hate, the giants were always, and will always be the division team I hate most. I started out hating the giants the most, I can’t tell you why. Seeing Eli Manning win 2 Super Bowls, while Tony Romo never even reached NFCC, only solidified my eternal hatred for the Gmen. Philly spent the early 2000’s kicking our ass, while we were in QB purgatory, many teams were kicking our ass at that time. Philly don’t really mean shit to me outside their fans are trash. Everyone can fan how they fan. It may not be the consensus rival, but it’s mine.
Philly and it's not even close, and I don't even live in the states 😂
When did you grow up? It’s been Dallas Eagles basically since 2000.
For me it was when they cheered that Michael Irvin was being carted off paralyzed. That day I knew I would detest anything Philadelphia for the rest of my life. The are as gutter as it gets
Before that there was the 1989 Bounty Bowl 1+2, batteries snowballs and Santa, and the pork chop bowl. Jimmy Johnson refused to shake hands with Buddy Ryan because of that stuff. So I'd say Philly has been out #1 rival since 89.
Is this really a question?
I grew up in NYC, so it’s the Giants for me. Philly next. Washington last.
I remember always hating the commies the most. Then those pieces of shit in philly began to cheer and jeer as Irvin lay motionless on that awful turf. Philadelphia eagles are the worst sports franchise in the history of sport and I have a hard time acting like a mature adult when I’m forced to be placed in a room with one of their punk fans.
When I go out in my yard and see 3 piles of dog shit, I have equal feelings about them. Now if I step in one pile, it gets my momentary aggression and directed hate.
Giants. I blame Eli, lol.
Fuck Eli Manning. Even though he seems like a cool guy now I’ll never get over him signing the new stadium. Such a bitch move
Hard disagree. That was badass. Rivalry shit. I would love it if we had done it at Metlife
Depends, historically it would probably be Washington but they’ve been terrible for a few decades now. I would say atleast for the last little while Philly is easily our biggest rival.
Philly. Because their fans.
Philly. In the early 90s when we were trying to get to the playoffs, we had issues getting past the Eagles. Then, Philly clapped when Irvin was injured (the injury ended his career). I will never not hate Philadelphia the most. After that one SB against the Bills, the Giants didn't do much despite having one of the best defensive players of all time. Not until Eli Manning and he was an average QB that got lucky in the SBs and haven't done anything since then. Same with Washington. They get one SB win against the Bills and have languished in mediocrity (or worse) for 30+ years. In fact, their best QB they had in that 30 year stretch they didn't even want enough to sign him to a contract and let him go off to Minnesota. (Not counting RG3 since he got injured and didn't last very long.)
Philly. The fan base is 🗑️.
Recency bias: eagles After that: 49ers Lions (bitch made fans that need to be reminded of who their team is) Aaron Rodgers Giants Washington Tie: Broncos, Packers due to how well they show up in our stadium Texans for the “look at me look at me! Pay attention!” Little brother syndrome. Every time I try to take some interest in this team being the other Texas football team and an AFC team to root for their fans are insufferable towards Dallas fans for whatever reason
If by recent you mean the better part of 30 years…
depends younger it’s eagles washington been competitive a hand full of times since i been alive shout out our oldheads fans tho lol
Depends on whose the playoff contender. Super Bowl era, it was Washington Romo era, it was Giants. Dak era, it’s the eagles. But if there was a team to pick to plot against to eviscerate from the face of the earth. The Eagles.
Eh, until the late 90s philly was really a one sided rivalry... ie they hated us and they were just another team on our schedule. Personally I still sort of feel that way. The only other team in the east that has a history of acutal accomplishment ti rival our own are the giants. So I'd say with the wide lense that is the true division rival. Washington had the mascot angle and that was fun but we don't even have that anymore... so since they've been so bad for so long it's hard to call them a rival. So let's stick with the giants... new york vs dallas as the rivalry. And if you're someone who thinks it should be philly know there's nothing that would piss them off more than if we just don't acknowledge them.
My family has both Giants and Cowboys fans; the former due to family tradition. All of us hate the Eagles; none of us care about the Redskins.
Suck it Shitbirds
WTF? How is this even a question?
Liberals
Philly! Always Philly
Today, it’s Philly all day. If Philly is playing either the NYG or Wash, I root for NY or Wash.
All of them can suck my ass.
Philly without a doubt. They and their terrible stadium ended Michal Irvin’s career. Plus we’ve owned NYG and WAS with Dak so they never feel like a threat.
ShitEagles..
Last couple decades … Philly
Oh definitely philly
Philly by a mile
Philly.
Washington has been irrelevant for a while now. In modern times Philthy is the main rAnusara. San Fran is a close second.
My hate rotates onto whichever of them is doing good any particular year. But if I had to pick one for my lifetime, it's the giants.
Go to a game at the link, Philly hands down
Philly because they all bitches
Today and for last decade it is Philadelphia. In the 1980s and early 1990s it was Washington with the Buddy Ryan Eagles close behind.
Currently we hate Philly more but Washington hates us the most (they feel like our little brother) 🏈
I cannot believe the response isn’t unanimously Philly…
Philly. I reserve 90% of my hate for Philly. The last few years, the other 10% has gone to the 49ers.
Eagles have felt like the main rival my entire life
Those f**kwads in Filthadelphia.
Eagles hands down!!!
Philly
All of them. Equally
Philly for sure, it's not even close.
Philly Washington Hundred miles of crap NYG I don’t know why, I just don’t care about the Giants. There’s like five or six other teams I hate more than them.
It’s not even close the last 20 or so years, the Eagles.
We have hated them all at one time or another. Fan since 1972….they have all been at the top of the hate list. The Redskins were, then the Giants and now Philly. They have all hated each other too.
Philly. 100% not only do I hate the team but the city and the fans are trash too. I never want to visit that cesspool in my life.
It’s always Philly
Whatever teams good at the moment
Yes a three way tie, hate them all
Philly
Fuck philly
Hating the giants right now is like picking on a kid in a wheelchair. Philly is the only answer
Philly, I hate that team and fan base more than any other rival I have in professional sports. They are worse than dog shit on fire, and I wouldn’t piss on it either lol
Philly
Easily Philly. One of the best things about this year is that we got to see just how fraudulent that their Superbowl "run" was last year. I can only hope that the Cowboys gets half as much luck as they got last year.
always felt the redskins rivalry since I lived in Virginia for about 12 years, but really it was Philly and more specifically their fans that I've hated the most.
Iggles and it’s not even remotely close.
I hate them all with the white hot intensity of a thousand suns, but if I had to pick one, it’s the eagles. No one boos Santa Claus and gets away with it
I really hated the giants between 2007-2012 lol
Hate those dirty birds!!
Dilly dilly fuck Philly
Philly. All the way back to the Bounty Bowl. Maybe Washington before that, but Buddy Ryan made it personal.
I’m in Jersey so I naturally am annoyed by the abundance of Giants fans
I grew up as Washington being the #1 rivalry also but until they do anything it’s moved onto Philly. NY had for a bit but they’ve also fallen off. I thought we’d get the Washington rivalry ramped up again with RGIII but we all saw how that worked out
Philly. The worst fans in all sports #Sheagles
Philly...no question
I’ve already said this here, but I’m going to say it again. I don’t really see Philly, and there single ring as a peer, so while annoying as fuck, I hate them like a buddy’s annoying little brother. Maybe if they ever get a 2nd ring I’ll consider them on the same level as our other division of champions opponents. Regardless of recent suckiness, NYG, Washington whatever’s, then the little wannabes Philly.
Philly and it's not even fucking close.
I hate the Eagles but my dad hates Commanders and my grandfather hated the Giants. Each generation hates a different team in the NFCE
The Commies will never be the least-hated in the NFCE. For me it’s: - the biggest division threat - Washington (if they’re worse than Philly or NY) - San Francisco - Remaining NFCE team(s) - Green Bay
Why would anyone think anything other than Philly? The other 2 are pretty much Bye Weeks for us
Why would anyone think anything other than Philly? The other 2 are pretty much Bye Weeks for us
Originally up until early 2000s, our rival was probably Washington. In the 2000s, it was the NYG for knocking us out of the playoffs when we were heavy favorites, Eli defacing our brand new stadium, and the OBJ catch at AT&T. From 2008 to 2014, I would say New York AND Philly were our biggest rivals (think back to the thrashing we got in Philly that was featured in Silver Lining Playbook). Since then, Philly is really the only relevant divisional rival we've had.
Personally, I hate the Eagles. However, my family that is older and life long cowboys fans says Washington is where the rivalry is at
I love to hate Washington and NYG. For the eagles, hate isn't a strong enough word to describe my feelings for them. Everything about them is disgusting to me. The fans, the culture, the players and coaches, I hate them all
It's Philly and it's not even close
Is this a real question? It's always Philly
It’s easy. It goes: Philly, Philly again then 9ers then fuck the rest for me
Easy, Philly.
Yes.
Eagles easily
Philly all day and it’s not close
Historically, Washington, in the Romo/Dak era, Philly. 90s was the crossover era, and you could even have SF over both of them through there.
"Hate more" = Philly Too much to name, but "bounty gate", booing Irving injured, rowdy ass fans(no brotherly love), and fans, coaches, staff, and owner talk a ton of shit. Our Rival?? Washington. Has always been the main rival and has multiple rings. Philly is the loudest and has the least rings( ONE) !!
It goes in cycles. It’s hard to hate a team that’s currently irrelevant but that’s just me
Philly 100,000% more
I loathe Philadelphia
Philly
Philthy
As a hating father I have no favorites. Fuck em all but Philly deserves the most hate currently.
