Opponent ----------------------W -L -T- W-L% Tm Opp
Atlanta Falcons --------------35 44 0 .443 1565 1715
St. Louis Rams --------------29 38 0 .433 1342 1509
San Francisco 49ers ------23 45 2 .341 1261 1691
Tampa Bay Buccaneers---20 14 0 .588 669 633
Carolina Panthers ----------12 16 0 .429 515 587

I can't say I liked the 34% win pct against SF. I always thought, and still wonder, what those 80's teams might have done if they weren't in the same division with THE team of the 1980's.

Rams had the old school history and some more recent shootouts.

Bucs always tough, glad they're in the same division. Hoping the regime there will bring an era of futility.

Carolina always seems like tight games but they never had the rivalry pizazz cept for Jake to me.

Guess it's gotta be the dirty birds then- seeing that both teams were born within a year of each other, the geographic proximity, and longevity of playing each other. Hebert and Anderson going there fueled the fire some too. Maybe Rod Coleman as comeback player of the year with 10 sacks might help too.

believe me, Saints/Niners was a rivalry....wish i could take a poll asking Saints fans born at least by 1980 if it was a rivalry....betcha at least 90% of them would say it was....yeah the Niners beat our asses most of the time, like i already said, but Saints fans who remember those days will tell you they absolutely despised the Niners, not only for always beating us but it just seemed like they took extra pride in beating our asses and got great joy out of it.....it was the opposite those days..it seemed like our offense held us back from becoming an elite team...the Niners, of course, had an elite offense and defense and coaching....but we hung with them tight on a lot of contests and Steve Young says that the Dome Patrol was the greatest set of linebackers ever....it was a heated yet lopsided rivalry...these two teams hated each other before the reallignment...
