Who are they?

STEELERS, always.

I’m a simple man.

Steelers, Ravens, Browns. Only division teams inspire my hatred.

In the NFC only the 49ers stand out.

Outside of the division it used to be the Cowboys, but I like Dak so I root for him, but used to love to see "America's team" take one on the chin. Especially the Coach wannabe Jerrrrah Jones.

Steelers always #1 hated. Ravens #2 and whoever Tom Brady is playing with when we play them #3.

I don't "hate" the Ravens or Browns, at all.

Neither one of those teams really "owns" the Bengals like the Steelers have in the past.
Plus, I actually LIKE Baker Mayfield... anyone who isn't afraid to poke a little fun at himself (the funny Progressive commercials) is all right by me.

I grew up a Cowboys fan since I lived there and Mike Ditka was our neighbor, so I hated the Steelers long before I was a Bengals fan so for me the hatred was an easy transfer. Ravens are next and the Browns I dislike 2 games a year

1) Steelers - They have been the dirtiest team in the league (and pretend it's just "hard nosed football")
2) Browns - In-state rivalry
3) Ravens - Division opponent
4) 49ers - Damn you, Joe Montana!

Steelers - because they got away with a lot of shit until recently when the league put the hammer down on all that bush-league cheapshot shit. Notice how much of their "power" was drained when they can no longer get away with that crap.

Those commercials made me hate him even more.  But I suppose I couldn't stand him in the beginning anyways.  From the moment he planted that effin flag after beating OSU, he was dead to me.

EDIT: I cannot wait for Hubbard to get real revenge this year. Now that we have a D-Line, he'll make sure he gets home a few times.

Oddly enough, even though I was born in Cincinnati, I am NOT an OSU fan. (So Mayfield's actions had no visceral effect, on me.)
I didn't even really pay attention to College Football until I was in Junior High/High School, and by then I had lived in PA most of my life so...

I'm a PSU fan!


Living in central PA, it's actually the ONE thing I have in common with all of my "Steeler Fan" friends when it comes to football...

Friends on Saturday... 

RIVALS on Sunday!

I hate the Steelers more than the Ravens.
I hate Harbaugh more than Tomlin.

I don't HATE any teams but there are two teams I ALWAYS root against, unless their win would benefit the Bengals and that is the obvious Thugsburgh, and Dallas because I extremely dislike Jerry Jones.

FYI the Bengals were actually one game over .500 vs Steelers before Mike Brown took over.  Since then the record against the Steelers has been embarrassing.

Stoolers. Always.

Exactly, some friends and I were having this exact discussion a couple weeks ago. "Hard nosed Stooler football" ain't so hard nosed anymore.

Steelers
Browns
Ravens

Outside of our division I don't really hate them, but we do have a fair mix of Titans and Colts fans in Kentucky so there's always some good natured ribbing.

Inside the Division- The Stealers. I hate this team with all my being.
Outside the Division- The 49ers, because they stabbed my heart twice. Without Joe Montana, the Bengals have 2 Lombardi's in their trophy case.

Cambria county here. Steeler fan neighbors are pretty quiet right now.
