I think a rivalry involves animosity on both sides. The Dolphins and Bills have played some epic games throughout the years. I hate the Patriots, but only for the way they’ve dominated us throughout this past decade.

Bryan Cox running out giving Bills fans the middle finger is a rivalry. Getting repeatedly stomped on is not.

I say this because, in rebuttal to Mark Parisi, the Dolphins rivalry was built on being beaten to hell throughout the 70s, and then the Bills finally winning one after like 20 or so straight losses. Now, it then heated up when both teams became equals, and this “might” happen in the future and I hope it does. I hate the pats more than any team in football, and want to steam roll them every time…even though we only suffer disappointment in ever more terrible ways.

I hate the rest of the AFC East, fairly and equally. A lot of hate fairly and equally distributed.

But I agree with Mark, rivalries are not made when the other team is indifferent to you.

It also sucks that I live in NYC now, have lived in Boston and my girlfriend’s family lives in Miami. I want my hometurf back!

I saw a girl with a Jets Cox jersey the other day and wanted to punch her.

The Bills were 0-for-the ’70s vs the Fish.

Plus, are there two cites that are home to NFL teams that are as different then Buffalo and Miami?

I think the Dolphins are our most hated rival because of that 10 year span where we couldn’t beat them. That was (relitivly) early in our team’s history and enchrined the Phins as our most hated rival. But for that same reason, the Pats are reaching a simular level of hatred in reacent years. I just hope that we can finally beat the Pats this year. A MNF win against them would be HUGE.

P.S. I hate the Phins more then i hate the Pats. Heck I do think that I hate the Pats so much as I’m entirely jelous of how successfull they are and how the team is operated. As much as I hate (and the term is accurate now) Billecheat, I have great admiration for his ability to run a great football team.

I know most of you weren’t around during the 70’s, but I was and it was bitter. I almost cheered for them once two years ago when they were pathetic, just couldn;t do it. With Parcells running the show makes it worse, cuz I hate him too.

and I still hate the Phins more than any other team in the AFC East. I’ve had bad experiences with their fans, I remember QB battles in the earlier 90s, I remember Ricky Williams slashing us up in the snow for 200+ yards, I hate how musicians and celebrities buy shares of their team, and I just get amped up during games against them.

The Jets and Pats basically tie for second after that but I think the Jets get the nod. At least the Jets fans are real so I respect them enough to hate them more.

Believe me, a bunch of my college buddies were from Boston and I know more about their team before Tom Brady appeared than they do and thats just from watching the Bills play them over the years, they are pathetic. Boston fans just crawl to whatever team is doing well at the time and proclaim their fandom. I can’t wait till they get knocked off their perch with Brady playing.

Ten years, twenty games, and now run by a tuna. Not until the franchise Won/Loss is a little more even will I consider hating a team worse. Losing to them twice last year was, well that was last year. Time to move on, I know this, they don’t scare anyone.

Seriously, I can’t believe this is even a conversation…everyone hates the fish…

I love yelling “squish the fish” in Miami just to hear some drunk redneck yell back…“a dolphin isn’t a fish”…

Priceless.

The other reason I hate miami is that they turned down Ralph Wilson for a team. We would have never had the Bills in Buffalo if not for Miami turning Ralph down and then changing their minds a few years later.
