Greatest Rivalry?

Steeler/Raiders is no. 1. Steeler/Ravens is not even close, but the biggest rivalry now. Steeler/Houston with Bum and Campbell was always fun because the Steelers won most of them. Steeler/Dallas were always in Super Bowls and always about power verses finesse teams.

 

The Raiders had some great teams back then. They've pretty much been a paper tiger for the better part of thirty years. But, those vets from those teams are still whining about the Immaculate reception, which is somewhat satisfying.

 

Damn! I agree with Heinz. Should I pinch myself? Raiders/Steelers was the fiercest rival for those of us that witnessed it during the 70s. Both had Slober Knocker players and was out for blood when they played.

 

I saw them all since `72 (Steelers vs Raiders in the 70`s) live on TV. It was must see TV for all of the country whenever it happened. Raiders would have had a shot at "team of the decade" if it were not for us. For sure we denied the Cowboys of that designation. The greatness of our players AND the greatness of the opposition is why we were the best ever. Great memories of those times. A little too brutal by today`s standards.

 

Steelers vs Houston Oilers was a good rivalry for a few years. Loved to see Bum Phillips hoping to "kick the damn door down next year".

 

True dat, Bum ran Earl, right, up the middle, and then left, ran his azz into the ground. Saw Earl a few years ago and he can barely walk even using a cane. He really paid a price for all of that running.

Football was played the way football was supposed to be played back then. Now we have the squat to pee version along with other crap that is killing the game IMO.

 

Now that’s funny.
