This past week, I asked the following question:
Which team or teams do you consider our Miami Dolphins’ biggest or most hated rival or rivalries, and why?
Below are some of your thoughts and answers-
DolfaninME agrees with me; it’s got to be the Jets!
Jets
PhinsTifosi is angry with the teams that we lost to in the Super Bowl.
DC, Dallas and SF. Because otherwise we would have 5 rings.
RobNJ65 isn’t a fan of any team in our division.
The Jokes; Bufflef**k; And the Cheaters, in that order. After that, who
cares ? Also, the only thing I find more annoying than the Jokes, are Jokes fans!
Longtimefan1 points to the most recent somewhat dominant team.
The Bills are the rival now and have been for many years.The amount of fans that come here to Miami for Bills away game are really something.I read the media coverage of the Dolphins and will watch the opener vs the Raiders.Until Miami beats the Bills away the Dolphins are providing entertainment not the winning football that dominated in the 1970s.
Dolfanjoe knows that the biggest rival in the division is the team that’s winning the most besides us.
Unfortunately i am with James on this . For a long period it was the Jets. Then it was N.E. Now i would have to say it is the Bills. Now the Jets are in the bottom with us. NE is rising but are they really for real ? Now Buffaloe is for real. One of the best if not the best QB in the league. But rivalry ? This year with playing the Bills and NE late they become our rivalry in hopes of knocking one of them off the throne. Upset there playoff position. But it is going to be a long season until then. Lets hope we can be competition for anyone at the end of this season !
Coach K 13 dislikes any team he has to hear about all the time.
I got to go with the Jill’s, only because I live about an hour from there and have to listen to their obnoxious fans all the time, the jet’s are a very close second!!!
HPoll says you have to be able to win to have a rivalry. Solid point!
I dont dislike the Pats or bill just the Jets and that is because I live on LI
But in order for their to be a rivalry we need to start winning
USMCFinPhreak is equal opportunity with his hate.
I hate BillJetPats equally.
FFFL66IBA&O just wants realignment that makes sense.
How South does Miami have to be? Common sense should tell the NFL to correct the alignment. We belong in the AFC South. What’s the problem here . . . . . . .
UpInPensacola points out that the argument against realignment might actually be an argument for it.
Fans ahead of this post are all over the map. Jets! No, gotta be Buffalo! Wait, wasn’t it once New England?
Rivalries don’t shift around by record. Think about high school cross-town rivalries. Record doesn’t matter. It’s an officiated neighborhood brawl.
Cowboys in the same situation as Miami. And who are the Colts rivals… Jacksonville?
Some league realignment is needed:
Baltimore to the AFC East. Indianapolis to the AFC North. Miami to the AFC South. Carolina to the NFC East. Dallas to the NFC South.
That will set up some new and interesting rivalries.
Phoenix6 is the Dolphins version of the Truth Teller.
Jets.
Always has been.
The other two I dislike evenly.
Jets never below top hatred, the others never below center in hatred.
finfanfromsiam says it’s the Bills!
Bufablo…!
MiamiItaliano says it’s clearly the hated Jets, and realignment needs to happen like yesterday.
It’s obviously the Jets, but I think it’s time Miami moved to the AFC South. Colts to the AFC North, Baltimore takes Miami’s spot in the AFC East
Well, not a consensus, but the vast majority of us, of course, went with a divisional rival, with many leaning towards the much-hated Jets. If you missed our original post, please share your choice for the Miami Dolphins’ biggest rival in the NFL in the comments section below. As always, thank you to each of you who took the time to join in and answer our question of the day.
