Reply to comment by MettaWorldPeece in Cowboys-49ers rivalry set for record-tying 9th playoff game by TexOliver93

The heat has faded some, but yes. Views may vary slightly on the order (probably where to place the Rams in either era), but I think this is about right.

49ers top 5 rivalries (as of 2023, including residual historic beefs):

  • Seahawks
  • Packers
  • Rams
  • Giants
  • Cowboys

If you made that list in 2000:

  • Cowboys
  • Packers
  • Giants
  • Rams
  • Broncos

The brief period(s) when you've been good, we haven't been, except for like 1-2 years when the division was all competitive but we had no real grudge matches.

You're a team we don't much like, but don't really get emotional about. Might as well still be in the NFC East to older fans. Younger fans mostly think Larry Fitzgerald was great and Kyler Murray is exciting. That isn't a rivalry.

Oh no trust me I fully understand and it's even comical haha. Just a bit sad that it's the case, but it makes perfect sense and not surprising.
