The Hawks collectively have only been in the NFCW for around 12 seasons. The first inaugural season, then the season after they went into the AFCW. It wan't until 2002 that they went back into the NFCW.
I'm amazed that anyone with 45k posts on a football board would be amazed by that. "Home team" -3 in this matchup was probably the easiest spread in NFL history to guess.
That's kinda was my point. It was a commentary on the validation-seeking nature of Squawk fans.
Gotcha. The 49ers already have an AFCW rival too across the Bay. Seachickens gotta ways to go before calling us out.
How are both of them going to go 12 - 4 and then start on the road in the playoffs?
I hope it's real. For all the vitriol between coaches and most of the players, its fun to see some guys taking the competition more light hearted As for it not being a rivalry yet, Carroll and Harbaugh make it an instant rivalry. If you can't accept that, it's because you're as dim witted and/or nearsighted as you think the Seahawks/fans are.
Yeah, Seachicken fan still hasn't gotten over beat downs from Raiderfan to the point where they are now trying to forget them.
Thank you for proving my point.Yeah, Seachicken fan still hasn't gotten over beat downs from Raiderfan to the point where they are now trying to forget them.
Hey don't blame me. Ram fans and we go back a lot further. Seachickens and the Cards are still The New Kids On The Block. The thing is you still haven't won any Championships historically like all the other three teams currently in the division has. So that means you are still looking up to the rest of us.Thank you for proving my point.Yeah, Seachicken fan still hasn't gotten over beat downs from Raiderfan to the point where they are now trying to forget them.
The only "instant rivalry" I can think of is the Avalanche/Red Wings of the early-to-late 90s. But that one was the players legitimately hating each other. This is just a couple of coaches who are bringing their college baggage into the pros. The players don't care. But the fans...Hey don't blame me. Ram fans and we go back a lot further.

Exactly. The one team when they realigned to move out of the AFCW was the Seahawks. Why? Because would they dare move any other team out of those old rivalries?The only "instant rivalry" I can think of is the Avalanche/Red Wings of the early-to-late 90s.

Look, Seattle, there's a reason the NFL moved you from the AFC to the NFC during realignment. They knew if they moved just about any other team, there would be a riot. Seattle....? They're just a team. Moving them would cause the fewest waves. Nobody noticed Seattle, even when they had a Super Bowl team. So now that there is finally a team in the division that is good at the same time they are.... Squawk fan is begging for this to be a rivalry.
Rivalries are made when two teams spend a long time taking each other's lunch. This is just the NFC West finally having more than one good team. There is a difference.... to everyone but Squawk fan.
If they told Denver they were moving from the AFC West to the NFC West, what do you think the fallout would have been?Exactly.

So who's talking that its the biggest rivalry? It's a pretty serious one between the coaches. The league thinks its a pretty big rivalry this year, as does the media. Oh, and the players and fans. It doesn't have to be decades old before its a rivalry. Manning/Brady wasn't a decade old, Cutler/Rivers had a nice rivalry going early on early in their careers. Just a bunch of football hipsters trying to convince others that their rivalry was cooler because its older. New ones start every year and when matchups like coach v coach, QB vs QB, division rivals both being SB favorites etc then it absolutely defines a rivalry. Congrats, yours is older, you get an ironic quinoa cookie.drummer said:Hey don't blame me. Ram fans and we go back a lot further. Seachickens and the Cards are still The New Kids On The Block.

Coaches come and go, and so do fans. Even some teams move from their old cities. The Seahawks moved from one division to another, and then back.
Throw it out where, or why? The only ones trying to say that it's the biggest rivalry are the guys trying so hard to assert that their team has older rivalries. Like I said, congrats.

MY FOOTBALL TEAM WAS COOLER BEFORE YOURS WAS!!!!! You're a complete dimwit if you don't think this is a new rivalry. The only ones trying to say its bigger/better/older than any other rivalry are you guys.
Bears, Packers, Rams and the 49ers were in the same division for a number of seasons too.Throw it out where, or why?

Charles Haley to Dallas makes me more bitter than the Chickens winning the Division at 7-9.
seachickens/squawks?
lambs?
Is every fan of this division 12 years old?

I'M SO IRONIC THAT ONLY THINGS IN THE PAST AFFECT ME! I'M NOT EVEN WATCHING THIS GAME SO I CAN GO TO A FOOD TRUCK FOLK JAMBOREE.
Once again, the only people trying to add longevity or gravitas to the rivalry seem to be the ones trying to prove how much cooler their team is.
You're not doing a good job creating bad blood in a bloodbath. Just pointing that out for ya.
I'm not trying to create bad blood, so, uh, thanks, I guess. I always appreciate when people tell me im not doing something that i'm not trying to do. The blood bath is on the field. We're just anonymous twits on a message board. You are doing a good job of proving my earlier point though.
I think what's evident here is Chicken fan doesn't understand rivalries, so you really should not try to use the word "point" anymore.

I don't think it'll be that bad, but the spirit of this prediction seems right to me.
One of these teams is a SB contender, and the other's just not. Simple as that -- same as last year.
they just invented this device where you can record tv shows. it is amazing. you should look into it.
