bonechiller Posted March 19, 2015 Share Posted March 19, 2015 What are the chances this latest power struggle over Clay help renew the old Bills-Dolphins rivalry? Throw in the Incognito scenario, the fact he pretty much got kicked off their team for being a bully, now he is here and I am sure he will have a few choice words for them. With Incognito and Suh on the field at the same time, something is bound to happen. I really miss the old rivalry, it's just not what it used to be. Best case scenario is they both start beating up NE and battle it out for the East themselves, could be two monster defenses! it's time for the Pats to take a step back.

BillsFan-4-Ever Posted March 19, 2015 Share Posted March 19, 2015 to the fans or teams? right now to me it's who does Buffalo lose to most. they are the biggest rivalry. The next criteria who would the Bills battle yearly for playoff seating. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Buffalo_Stampede Posted March 19, 2015 Share Posted March 19, 2015 (edited) Amazing more people dont talk Rex vs Tannenbaum. AFC East is one big rivalry now because the Bills hired Rex. Edited March 19, 2015 by TheTruthHurts Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The next criteria who would the Bills battle yearly for playoff seating. Yeah one thing and one thing only will spark this rivalry back to where it used to be. Both teams being good. The Bills unfortunately don't really have a rival right now because they have been so uncompetitive in recent years. A rivalry to me is formed when teams battle yearly for playoff positioning not the bottom of the division. Don't get me wrong I still don't like any of the teams in the AFC East but it is really hard to consider any of them our rival. In fact the Dolphins strangely might be my least hated team in the division right now. Pats* - damn they are just good every year, beat us severely and with regularity, skirt the rules of fair play at every chance, obnoxious fans Jets - a super bowl what 45 years ago? Somehow their fans think they are so much better than the Bills. Buffalo actually leads the all time series 58-51. My hatred towards them is almost purely driven by their fans. Dolphins - oh what once was. Marino-Kelly was my childhood. I hated this team with a passion. Now neither team has been a serious threat in so long the "rivalry" is meaningless. Their fans are so few and far between it is hard to hate them. On top of the fact that a majority of them are girls that like the color scheme. Long story short the Bills need to continue getting better to develop a rivalry with anybody. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

section122 Posted March 19, 2015 Share Posted March 19, 2015 too true but we do have a hated Nemesis Indeed. A rivalry to me involves both sets of fans hating each other equally. Nemesis is a very good word here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chuck Wagon Posted March 19, 2015 Share Posted March 19, 2015 If/when Brady & Belichick retire, Jimmy G. is bad and the Jets fail to get it together, I could see the Bills-Dolphins getting pretty heated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The next criteria who would the Bills battle yearly for playoff seating. If it starts in the FO, then trickles down to the teams, the fans will surely won't be far behind. And like I said best case scenario will be if both are better and fighting for the division or at least a wildcard spot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VanCity Posted March 19, 2015 Share Posted March 19, 2015 I've held onto the Bills-Fins rivalry for a long time as one of my best buddies is a Fins fan. However, it's been a long time since I've felt that rivalry really exists in any anywhere outside of the two of us. I'd love to see it return if just so I could say that the Pats* are dropping back in the AFC East. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Malazan Posted March 19, 2015 Share Posted March 19, 2015 (edited) both teams have to start winning and being able to beat NE for their to be a rivalry between them.

( well, one can only hope) Strongly agree. It's waaaaay overdue to renew the Bills/dolphins and Bills/pats rivalries. We split with both last season. Hopefully we repeat that this season.

Heck, the 90's was the end of it - I remember 0 fer the 70's - first win in 1980, the posts come down, and they sent it up the stands toward Ralph! - The "I Hate Miami" shirts - Squish the fish ..........

bmur66 Posted March 19, 2015 Share Posted March 19, 2015 (edited) Has the rivalry really ever ended? Maybe for the sissy assed players the Bills had in the past but not for fans that remember Squish the Fish! Beat them like a bad restaurant closing early!

Kelly the Dog Posted March 19, 2015 Share Posted March 19, 2015 It surely makes the AFC East full of rivalries. The Bills and Pats are a natural because they win, and Brady and Bellicheat are each slighty worse than Lucifer. The Bills and Jets rivalry is a natural to grow 10x because of Rex. The Dolphins will hate us more now where they have ignored us more than their bigger rivalries for so long. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BaaadThingsMan Posted March 19, 2015 Share Posted March 19, 2015 I can't speak for anyone else but as a Bills fan I've always hated the Jests, Fish and Patsies and I always will. Rivalry, oh yes very much so. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YoloinOhio Posted March 19, 2015 Share Posted March 19, 2015 (edited) This Phin Tweet is funny, implying their signing trumps all, considering we already have a "Suh" that we actually drafted and developed named Marcel Dareus and didn't need to cut or trade half the team to get him.

Mike in Horseheads Posted March 19, 2015 Share Posted March 19, 2015 What goes on with front offices doesn't make a rivalry. Kelly vs Marino, Bryan cox spitting at fans now that makes bitter rivals. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Real Buffalo Joe Posted March 20, 2015 Share Posted March 20, 2015 I actually thought with EJ and Geno both being in the same draft that a rivalry with the Jets would start. Similar to a Kelly/Marino thing. A true rivalry with NE hasn't happened because when we were good they weren't and vice versa. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
