Ravens Ring of Honor
Have we ever played well in Jax? That place is a curse for us

Though I wasn't watching the NFL when the AFC Central was live, I'm fully aware that the Jags and Titans were big time division rivals. I guess certain things don't change over time after all.
most of the time it was the Oilers, not the Titans, but yes both of those teams were rivals. The Titans especially with Eddie George in the early 2000.

I remember it quite well. Steve McNair/Eddie George. MarkBrunell/Jimmy Smith. Lot of ugly losses. The famed "buulshit" game against Jax where everybody and their mother could hear the chant thru the TV and I'm talking at least 20 min straight and thru out the rest of the game. I was at that game and my throat was gone!! When it comes to the new divisions I was pised when we got put in the north cuz the most hated teams were Jax and Tenn. I wanted to be in the south. Im thinking Indy in the south?!?! Geographically stupid but money talks. Would have been great that way but I can't complain with how I feel now.

Jags with Brunell and Fred Taylor were terrifying to contain and the Titans had McNair and Eddie George. Great rivalry games, but even then the leftie Brunell gave us fits.

understand your reasoning, but the old AFC Central was Browns, Oilers, Steelers, Bengals and considering the Ravens are the former Browns, it made sense to keep us together. Of course the Baltimore Colts used to play in the AFC East with the Pats, Jets, Bills and Dolphins.

IDK, on the whole I think we’re way closer to Pittsburgh, Cleveland and Cinci than we are to Nashville or Jacksonville. And I’m not sure where else you put Indy, not really east, west or north either. lol

Technically they are in the East North Central region of the midwestern U.S. lol

The rivalry between the Titans and Ravens being reignited during Lamar's tenure has been fun.

I only remember bits and pieces of Eddie George vs Ray Lewis. I was not really a fan of the game back then. Just the moments they use to have in the old football games

It would have been crazy if the division would have been the Ravens, Steelers, Browns, Titans

Thats true. I'm just talking about the rivalry at the time and what teams I hated more. Indy should have definitely been in the North. Just go west on !-70. Geographically all the way around it should have been Balt in the east, Dolphins in the south and the Colts in the north
