For a team that supposedly hates, "Brady" we sure do play soft against him.

I wouldn't put him on the list at all, we haven't been a real contender in the entire time he's been in the league. I realize people hate him because he's had so much success, but I consider a rivalry a two sided thing

1. Jim Kelly
2. Thurman Thomas
3. Marv Levy
4. Everybody associated with the NY Jets franchise (players, coaches, management, fans, etc)
5. Wannestedt (his hiring was the beginning of a decade+ of irrelevance and the darkest period in the history of this franchise)
 
The Bert Jones Colts in the mid to late '70s were annoying. That's the only rival I've severely disliked. Baltimore was easily our biggest rival in the '70s. But early in the decade we were on the upswing and they were old. It reversed in the mid '70s. Suddenly they had a ton of talent on both sides of the ball. It looked like we would be hard pressed to win the division for years.

Beyond anything, those Colts were simply lucky. Once they had a punt blocked for a late touchdown near the end of the year to lose a home game to the Lions. Dolphin fans were celebrating until it turned out the loss actually helped Baltimore in terms of playoff tiebreakers. Then there was the infamous Bert Jones non-fumble in a season finale against the Grogan Patriots. The referee blew the call and Baltimore rallied to win and clinch a playoff berth over the Dolphins. New England was essentially playing for Miami in that game, and darn did they give it a huge effort until that bogus call.

I hated the Patriots only in 2007 when they almost matched our signature achievement.

I'll always be convinced it must have been a rival who designed our stadium, and the current abomination of a logo. Those can't be friendly fire. Nobody is that inept.
 
This is great stuff guys. In reading all those posts I am shocked at how many of our top five most hated are from......our own franchise! Crazy but I agree with Wanny and Saban. No way I would ever agree with Jimmy Johnson (he did our franchise well) or Keith "Angels in the snow" Byars.

I can't believe how many people I actually hate that I forgot about. Thanks to all for reminding me. I want to redo my list.

Also, this thread was not meant to me teams we hate but individual people. Let's keep it rolling. Keep posting.
