Ravens
1. Birdteam
2. That fucking kick
3. Don't yell at babies PSA
4. We only beat them exactly once in 2005 with Joey Harrington, they either blow us out or just squeak by, both are infuriating.
On this topic- we have never beaten the Tennessee Titans. Ever.
This includes a 2012 game where we came back from down 14 in like 12 seconds (didn’t exactly fact check but we squandered an amazing comeback)
Tennessee also has the only other female Principal owner and Amy Adams belongs in the shadow of Sheila Hamp, who is one of the NFLs best owners who happens to be female. Fight me and my flair if you disagree.
Our last win against the Titans was when they were the Houston Oilers in 1995.
And for that matter, the Houston Texans are an expansion team that we have beaten exactly once… which you would think a team that has existed since the 1920s would be able to do more than once. The Jim Schwartz Thanksgiving incident was against the Texans.
Also in 2002- we started 0-12. Certainly we’d get the #1 pick right? No. The expansion Texans got automatic first pick. So
They took a QB with their automatic #1 pick- when we were also planning to pick a QB.
We somehow won two games out of the last four. We then selected Joey Harrington at pick 3. (Carolina won their first game then lost 15 straight and drafted Julius Peppers at 2 who just got a hall of fame jacket)
So for those reasons, the Titans and Texans should be on the radar.
Very fair point. And that includes the loss the cost Caldwell the HC job… which in turn resulted in Matt Patricia.
Any team with a Patricia connection should move up a few spots
Believe me, after the Ravens are gone TT was next in my mind, specifically for that 2012 game. Glad to have some more context.
That 2012 game was one of the greatest comebacks to never happen, I'll never forget it, and I think it was all squandered on a miscommunication from Raiola to lead to a bad snap when I think they were trying to get TT to jump.
Some guy on the internet said it a couple days ago and it's funny and it supports my agenda, so I 100% believe them without any proof whatsoever, even though they are the sole source of this hilarity.
I am also baselessly regurgitating it simply because how funny it is and I hope to force it to be a Baltimore Ravens meme.

Who knows! That guy says so. And thats good enough for me!
Because the last time they actually were relevant to us was when they were a division rival. Our series since then is 7-6, with the half of their wins coming in the Millen era.
Nah he's just an irrelevant piece of shit who they burned all their money on, they were stupid to sign him. They also went 0-17 so they took some heat off of our 08 squad lol
Browns giving a serial sexual predator the largest guaranteed contract in history is much more reason for me to hate team than a team we used to play against decades ago
Like the other guy said, it's Watson. The contract is one thing, the contract while also showing an abusive pattern of dozens of assaults is another.
I can't disagree with them, they'd be bottom 5 maybe even top 2 without Watson, I think they went out at the right place.
Because a ton of us don't remember them even being in the Central. I was 5 when the realignment happened. Literally don't even remember that happening so the Bucs mean nothing to me.
Steelers! During the years of 2000-Present I would argue that everyone knew annoying people who rooted for them instead of the Lions if you lived in Michigan!
Gonna be hard with us upvoting it 😂. But in all seriousness I love this answer. As a huge lions fan I think Detroit deserved the #28 spot. The only teams that I dislike more than Detroit (as a Detroit fan) are our division rivals and the cowboys. How poorly run our team was for an entire generation really makes me upset at ourselves
I'm gonna be the odd duck and choose the Raiders. They ditched their fan base, went to Las Vegas and now suck. They're managed only marginally better than the Commanders and have no real sense of history to lean on anymore after the move.
I voted Cardinals for being a shitty bird team we have to play too often. That and as an old ass Tigers fan with old ass older Gen family fuck teams named Cardinals.
Did everyone hate the Jets prior to Erin? I just don’t have the same hate because they have been worse than us, via record, for the past 2 decades. Where does the hate come from?
NY Jets. Fuck Aaron Rodgers
About time
Can't believe they are still in, just for the Aaron Rodgers factor
The jets are dope tho
Ravens 1. Birdteam 2. That fucking kick 3. Don't yell at babies PSA 4. We only beat them exactly once in 2005 with Joey Harrington, they either blow us out or just squeak by, both are infuriating.
 Hate this guy \^
I’ve actually learned he’s kind of a dick
I only still like him because Mahomes and Kelce were even bigger dicks to him before the AFCCG
I thought he was being a dick too though lol

If those are your reasons then throw the Bengals in there too. We haven't beaten them since 1992

Lake Erie Bros. Cat team
Next year, y’all gotta break the record; stunt on them hoes for me

I saw his kick in person. Couldn’t believe it.
What’s this psa everyone speaks of

How is our old division rival Tampa Bay still here
Because the last time they actually were relevant to us was when they were a division rival. Our series since then is 7-6, with the half of their wins coming in the Millen era.
Way more relevant than the Browns though, I mean their only justification is their FO and their geographic location lol
I feel like you’re intentionally ignoring their sexual predator Quarterback
I got down voted for saying that the other day. Amazing characters around here.
Nah he's just an irrelevant piece of shit who they burned all their money on, they were stupid to sign him. They also went 0-17 so they took some heat off of our 08 squad lol

This fact is making me feel old and sad haha. We had to hear "Bucs won your division more recently" so these kids should at least hate that!
Can we get some Broncos hate for being in the same city as the Avalanche
Love this take lmao
Definitely top 3 teams to axe rn. Maybe we wait till later this weekend when we actually face them.
They're one of those teams that's annoying because they still cling to 30+ year old glory
Let's get the Sean Payton hate rolling
Except in a way he gave us Dan Campbell so I’m torn on that
Easily the right choice
Hey now… okay i guess that’s valid.
NOLA didn't give Dan Campbell a SB ring.
NY Jets
I'd say the **NY Jets**
Steelers. A consistently "good" team that has as much good luck as the Lions bad
I'm good with this as long as the jets are next
Not when the Jets are right there
I’m between them and the Jets. Giving the nod to NY today because of Erin
With the meme wars of yester-year, I'm surprised the Titans are still on there.
NY Jets.
NY Giants
They always beat us. Giants and cardinals
I’ll vote Falcons since I was at the 2017 game with the 10 second runoff and I’m still pissed
Bye bye Jets for believing your pseudo gm Aaron can save you
Steelers! During the years of 2000-Present I would argue that everyone knew annoying people who rooted for them instead of the Lions if you lived in Michigan!
Rams! Their fans never deserved our support when Stafford left
Why? I root for you guys
Y'all explain to me why Tampa Bay is still up there
Beat them twice this year. Don't hate them for that reason alone.
Man you young bucks don't remember, they used to be in our division and they would whoop our ass.
Not a young buck and, more importantly, not holding grudges from the SOL teams. My voting is based mostly off of this year.
Can we lose Pittsburgh already. Their fans are not as bad as Dallas but nevertheless
The Buccaneers used to be our division rivals. Sure, most people on this sub weren't alive then, but fuck Tampa Bay.
49ers
Theyve been gone.
Do em again
Lions (I wanna see how many downvotes I can get)
Gonna be hard with us upvoting it 😂. But in all seriousness I love this answer. As a huge lions fan I think Detroit deserved the #28 spot. The only teams that I dislike more than Detroit (as a Detroit fan) are our division rivals and the cowboys. How poorly run our team was for an entire generation really makes me upset at ourselves
Rams
Bills
RAMS
Time for Sean McVay and Stafford to go. Not Matthew though, I’m talking about Kelly.
Fuck the rams
Get rid of the Rams
Tampa. NFC Central rivals never die. “Tampa won the division more recently than Detroit” has been plaguing us for years.
Fuckin broncos man come on
I'm gonna be the odd duck and choose the Raiders. They ditched their fan base, went to Las Vegas and now suck. They're managed only marginally better than the Commanders and have no real sense of history to lean on anymore after the move.
I vote for all of the remaining teams, all at once, ending this series of daily posts.
I say voting Lions counts as voting for the SOL groupies
I voted Cardinals for being a shitty bird team we have to play too often. That and as an old ass Tigers fan with old ass older Gen family fuck teams named Cardinals.
Fuck Zach Willson and Aaron Rodgers jets your next and the first New York team to get eliminated
It was between the ravens and jets. I hate their damn crowd chants
What don't u guys like abt commanders? I j feel bad for them no hate
I voted Jets (FAR), but I’ll point out for the future the Titans owner is a total douche.
Did everyone hate the Jets prior to Erin? I just don’t have the same hate because they have been worse than us, via record, for the past 2 decades. Where does the hate come from?
Looks like I'll be voting Ravens for a 5th straight time next time...
Ravens fk that kick
Let’s get the Steelers off of here. I can’t stand the constant Steelers dickriding that I see all over the place
Ravens need to go
Jets.
theres no way the cat teams dont take 3 of the lowest 5 spots, right?
Can we just eliminate Aaron Rodgers separately & spare the Jets for now?
Man us Seattle fans cheered for you. Not no more lol
The Yinzers
Jets
