K-9 Posted December 25, 2017 Share Posted December 25, 2017 0 for the 70s. ‘Nuff said. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
26CornerBlitz Posted December 25, 2017 Share Posted December 25, 2017 Not nearly as much as it used to before NE became the dominant AFC East team. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Iron Maiden Posted December 25, 2017 Share Posted December 25, 2017 Absolutely..I still resent them more than any other team..... 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Billschinatown Posted December 25, 2017 Share Posted December 25, 2017 For me no; i haven't known anything but the Patriots and rest of us are bottom feeders. I think it depends on your age. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

3rdand12 Posted December 25, 2017 Share Posted December 25, 2017 I hate all the AFC East Teams, excepting the Bills. so yes. I want to punch their faces in . 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MILFHUNTER#518 Posted December 25, 2017 Share Posted December 25, 2017 They are in our division, and better than the Jersey Jets so yeah definitely. If you want to get into the playoffs, you have to kick @$$ in your division and dominate @ home. We play them at home EVERY year without fail, not to mention TWICE a year total. So yeah, if we wanna compete it better matter! If we split with the Patricheats (win @ home, lose in MASS), sweep the Jersey Jets and sweep the Miami Porpoises we most likely at the least win a wildcard spot, maybe the division.

Teddy KGB Posted December 25, 2017 Share Posted December 25, 2017 Feels like it died when Kelly and Marino retired. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Captain Murica Posted December 25, 2017 Share Posted December 25, 2017 In my opinion it doesn't. Mainly due to the patriots, but they only seem to not be able to win consistently down in Miami. I wouldn't mind seeing re-alignment. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GG Posted December 25, 2017 Share Posted December 25, 2017 Poll should be done by age group. For older geezers like me, yes. For the youngens, no. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
benderbender Posted December 25, 2017 Share Posted December 25, 2017 I shudder to think what Marino could have done with a run game. Much like our inept front office was NE’s best friend for the past 18 years, MIA’s lack of offensive foresight was our gift in the 90s Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Bills will never get a chance to get revenge on Bob Griese, Larry Csonka, and Don Shula....it's over. Just like they will never get close to getting revenge on Brady and Belichick (even f they win every game against them for the rest of their careers). This is false stoking of some kind of affront to stir emotions about something that is pretty meaningless. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is false stoking of some kind of affront to stir emotions about something that is pretty meaningless. It’s not false stoking of anything. I was asked whether or not the Miami rivalry still matters. I said “yes” and explained why. End of story. Your views are your own and more power to you for holding those views. As to the larger meaning, it’s just a fricken football game. There has never been nor will there ever be something to “get over” when it comes to a football game. It’s just not that important in the scheme of things. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Another Fan Posted December 25, 2017 Share Posted December 25, 2017 Since 2007 we are 11-10 against the Fish. 10-12 for that matter against New Jersey. So yes these two teams feel more like real rivalries in that it's more even. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Given that it’s been a 16 year race for 2nd place, I wonder if Phins and Jest fans wonder the same about whether or not rivalries with teams not named the Patriots still matter.

Victory Formation Posted December 25, 2017 Share Posted December 25, 2017 Jets and Dolphins don't really matter anymore. My main fear is that New England becomes a franchise like Pittsburgh and Green Bay, a franchise that is good from here until the end of time.
