Though it's exciting to think of a rivalry borne of a struggle for conference dominance with the Raiders, the fact is, even after all this time, I still miss those old AFC Central rivalries, especially against the Steelers and Ravens.  Perhaps it's in part because we haven't been good enough to really have many meaningful games in the AFC South, perhaps because we were still new at the time, perhaps it's because I'm getting (gotten?) old, but I don't seem to get worked up as much to face the Colts and Texans as I did when we played the Ravens and Steelers.
