WHY???

Post by spudstr04 »

After looking at our schedule of teams we have to play next year, why do we have to play Tampa Bay @ Tampa for the 2nd straight year? Shouldn't we switch it up?

absolutely inexcusable. it reminds me of (though it is obviously not as bad) the absolute JOKE that is the colts having to go to play the patriots every year.

that being said, if we can beat them there twice in one year, including the playoffs, we can beat them there again next year. (yes, everyone on earth knows we won the 1st game this year too).

I hate them so much... It's become a bigger rivalry than any of us could have expected.

We got back to back home games against them in 03-04 so its fair. I wish they would alternate though as this is quickly becoming a rivalry. Man I hate tampa....mostly because of Gruden.

It should be a tough close game, considering they will have some extra motivation to beat us since we did knock them out of the playoffs this year! Hahaha

The Bucs played us 2 straight years at FedEx. 2003/2004. It's not a conspiracy.

Out of our division, I would say Tampa is our bigest rival atleast currently.

I don't mind it for 2 reasons.

1. I live in South Florida so I can attend the game.
2. Tampa is the strip club capital of the world. More strip clubs per square mile than anywhere else worldwide. :up:

Yes, that is true I live in Tampa and there are strip clubs everywhere. I am also very happy they play here again, I get to see the Skins 3 times in 2 years here, thats sweet.

It's just a coincidence of the scheduling formula.

In 2005, the teams played because they finished in the saqme place in their divisions in 2004.

In 2006, the teams will play because it's the year for East-vs-South in the NFC rotation.

And if they finish in the same place in their divisions again, they'll play in 2007 too.

Da Bears have come to FedEx last two years in a row, thank god it's not going to be a third! My vote is for TB over Bal right now for bigger rival.

Yes, I think it's TB for a few reasons the 99 playoffs, Portis's first game in a skins uni against TB he ripped'em up esp; his first cary ever was a 85 yrd td, this year with the two exciting games. We play them again next year too, it's becomming a regular thing.

While I wish this was true, we haven't played Baltimore enough for this to be a reality. I would love to own them in a rivalry for a little while. . .maybe there wouldn't be so many bandwagon Ravens fans lurking around Annapolis. (Although, a losing season or two has pretty well done the trick).

I don't think Virginia Redskins fans really care about the Ravens. I don't like them, but they aren't even in the same ballpark as the division rivals, and I definitely hate the Bucs more than Baltimore.

Theyre in the AFC. They have no effect on us playoffswise and we play them once every 4 years excluding meaningless preseason games. Who cares?

I think it's just Maryland Redskins fans who passionately hate the Ravens, which is understandable.

It's not true hate if you hate more than one.

Dallas is the only team worthy of my hatred.

The rest are just nuisances. (Besides, not enough has happened against those other teams)

Dallas is our best rival but in my heart I hate the Giants more not really sure why, I just do, but I don't like anyone in our division. Outside the NFC east I hate Tampa the most and they are probably our bigest rival outside the east also.
