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.

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...

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.

Gugny Posted December 25, 2017 Share Posted December 25, 2017 The Kelly/Marino/Cox days are still fresh in my mind, but with the Bills being bad for nearly two decades and the Dolphins not being a hell of a lot better, the rivalry has definitely been tempered some. That said, I voted yes, solely because we're still in the same division. Someday, both teams will be good (aka - have decent QBs) again - and the head-to-head matchups will mean something again.

Buffalo Barbarian Posted December 25, 2017 Share Posted December 25, 2017 Just don't care, I think with free agency leading to high player turn over and we both have been losers, there just isn't that hate. Maybe if we both get good and meet in the championship game it could rekindle. For me personally I don't think I could really hate them again as it is just football and there are more important things to be angry about.
