Dave in Avon Lake now Posted November 30, 2018 Share Posted November 30, 2018 Seems like we've been beating the Fins pretty steadily since Jim Kelly arrived. I know we lost 20 in a row in the 70's but in checking we are still 47-60-1 against our rivals. Will we ever catch up? I'd like to think that with the maturity of Josh Allen and our offense improving, we could start dominating our division the way the Pats have since 2001 and maybe even out those records. While I was at it, I noticed the Pats hold the edge 73-43-1. The only team in our division we have a winning record against is the Jets 62-54.

freddyjj Posted November 30, 2018 Share Posted November 30, 2018 (edited) We have won 7 of last 10 since 2013 season. They swept us in 2016 - Rex's last year. Seems they struggle versus a 4-3 D like what McD and Schwartz run. Kelly era Bills went 17-8 versus Fins counting playoff games. Since Kelly retired Bills hold 22-20 regular season series advantage with one playoff loss (Flutie red Zone Sack/fumble) after 1998 season. It's actually been pretty even over last 21 years. I picked a split in my season record pick at start of year and still see it that way. We lose there and win at home.

Another Fan Posted November 30, 2018 Share Posted November 30, 2018 I would definitely say the Dolphins are the Bills biggest rival. In the sense that it’s been pretty even back and forth over the last 30 or 40 years. I mean I know about the 70s but since then the Bills have had the upper hand imo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They haven't been competitive at the same time for almost 20 years now. Obviously, beating them in the finale last year helped get us into the playoffs, but they threw in the towel after Cutler's first series. That game aside, it's hard to remember many meaningful games between the two teams in recent memory. I think the Jags are the main rival right now.

GRHater69 Posted November 30, 2018 Share Posted November 30, 2018 20 losses in the 70s and then the down period in the mid 80s pre Kelly really gives them an edge. I sat through that entire 70s decade and it was very frustrating. We could just never get past them. Sometime the refs made sure of that. I still get mad thinking about the Pat Toomey game and the BS that went into that call. Beating them in 1980 with the fans tearing down the goalposts was a fantastic moment.

Bleeding Bills Blue Posted November 30, 2018 Share Posted November 30, 2018 Gase and Tannehill are just so... blah. Even when they were doing well i still think they stink. They just always look so beatable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GRHater69 Posted November 30, 2018 Share Posted November 30, 2018 Back then it was worse because Shula was on the competition committee so we always thought Miami got the benefit of close calls. But that game was a joke. To flag a player for unsportsmanlike conduct while he's trying to make a play and get into a pile where there's a loose ball was BS. The ref for that game got demoted a few season later, but now his vindictive son is an official in the NFL. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you ignore the 70s, Bills are 7 games up on Miami which makes sense given the Kelly era run. I would have expected at least that good vs NE pre BB, but the Bills actually had a losing record.

McNubbins Posted November 30, 2018 Share Posted November 30, 2018 I'm not worried about the Phins (watch them pummel us on Sunday now ?), it's all about Pats since 01. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
