Is it me or does anyone think this rivalry has died down

[Mike13]

To me its not as intense as it used to be like it was 10+ years ago, yeah I know these teams have always been rivals, but that was the peak of the rivalry.
Then the jets rivalry intensified and the Colts were our rivals*( they were in the AFCE, that rivalry didnt last) and the Pats rivalry grew as well.
I think this game may renew our rivalry with you guys, because it will be a really good game IMO.

The Patriots are close to taking over this rivalry IMO. I hate those ****ing idiots! Every single thing about them.

Hell no, not to me at least. I hate the Dolphins, and there's nothing more than I like to see (sports wise) than to beat those sorry sacks of *****!

Re: Is it me or does anyone think this rivalry has died down

From 1988 thru 1996, the rivalry was at it's peak. Not coincidentally, that was the time of the Levy-Shula, Kelly-Marino matches. very good coaches, teams, and players is what made for this peak. Since then, it's become less and less which each passing year. That we came out on top during this era only made it that much more special.

Re: Is it me or does anyone think this rivalry has died down

its not much of a rivaly when one team dominates the other as much as the dolphins have, especially in recent years. Time for Saban to start his own dominant legacy over the bills come sunday

Re: Is it me or does anyone think this rivalry has died down

You know I was just thinking the other day how I don't feel that energy of the rivalry anymore. Back in the day Buffalo was a competitive team. But in the past few years how can we be competitive when we can't even manage ourselves. First the team has to be confident in itself, then it can be confident in beating other teams. There can't be a rivalry if other teams don't take us seriously

Hmmm.... dominant in recent years, eh? I wouldn't quite say that. We'll go back to 1998, the year I graduated High School, as recent history. Looks about even to me.

It's wierd that we don't split in a season, it's always one team wins both..funny how that happens. Now I really want to beat you first, that's a good indication of who will sweep.

Re: Is it me or does anyone think this rivalry has died down

It seems that over the past few years, either the Bills or the Dolphins have been down in the dumps, while the other team is OK. I think the rivalry of the late 80s through the early 90s won't be there until both teams are yearly playoff contenders.
