Pine Barrens Mafia Posted September 30, 2009 Posted September 30, 2009 Where are the Dolfelon trolls? Usually by this point, this place is crawling with them. But no, not any more. Why? This rivalry is dead, buried under a decade of Paytoilet* dominance.
TheBlackMamba Posted September 30, 2009 Posted September 30, 2009 a rivalry is not a rivalry when both teams have sucked for the last 10 years.

This rivalry is dead, buried under a decade of Paytoilet* dominance. This game probably matters a lot to Ralph. Maybe he will fire Jauron if we lose. I doubt it, but there is always hope.
Bill from NYC Posted September 30, 2009 Posted September 30, 2009 Joe, I was thinking more about this topic. Imo, the rivalry isn't completely dead. Plus, Pennington is out and Porter is hurt. The reaction on this board is sure to be very ugly if we lose to Miami. VERY ugly. Jauron really might have problems if we lose. Jmo.
blzrul Posted September 30, 2009 Posted September 30, 2009 We hate the Patriots far more than the Fish these days. When they become the Patsies again and the Fish improve, we'll hate the fish again. Either way the Bills will probably stay at the bottom of the pile...
May Day 10 Posted September 30, 2009 Posted September 30, 2009 When the NFL realigned, I really wanted them to move into a Division which included Cleveland and Pittsburgh. Better rivalries would be formed. Miami/Buffalo is the dumbest thing ever
jax bill backer Posted September 30, 2009 Posted September 30, 2009 Buffalo's main rivalry is New England. New England's main rivaly isn't Buffalo.

Better rivalries would be formed. Miami/Buffalo is the dumbest thing ever then you do not know your history. Fins beat the Bills for 20 straight games, an entire decade. When Jimbo and co. whooped them in the 90's it was the greatest thing ever! At the same time, I think the Bills in the central would have been interesting given the geographic proximity to Cleveland and Pittsburgh.

This rivalry is dead, buried under a decade of Paytoilet* dominance. The Miami rivalry was born out of "0 for the 70's". The current losing streak to the Pats* makes them our #1 rival. PTR
Steve O Posted September 30, 2009 Posted September 30, 2009 then you do not know your history. Fins beat the Bills for 20 straight games, an entire decade. When Jimbo and co. whooped them in the 90's it was the greatest thing ever! At the same time, I think the Bills in the central would have been interesting given the geographic proximity to Cleveland and Pittsburgh. The 20 straight wins and the kelly/marino connection were indeed the main reasons for the rivalry. Unfortunately players retire and those connections end. The longest lasting rivalries are based on geography. Ohio state Michigan, Mich/Mich state, UNC/Duke in basketball = just makes sense that these rivalries will last forever. Unfortunately realignment took place at a time when the Miami Buffalo rivalry was at the end of a very long life...lasted a few years but as the original poster points out its all but dead now. Playing Pittsburgh, Cleveland, an Cincinati twice a year, having large contingent of visiting fans at the home venue, would have made much more sense geographically. Unfortunately Ralph did not have this vision, I believe the quote was we sell out the Miami game every year.
Endzone Animal Posted September 30, 2009 Posted September 30, 2009 Living in South Florida, let me assure you that down here they stopped caring about Buffalo years ago. The game is about as interesting to them rivalry-wise as a game against the Rams or Chiefs. Buffalo is simply irrelevant...not hated, not thought about, not worthy of dislike, just uninteresting and circled as a presumed win.
Chalkie Gerzowski Posted September 30, 2009 Posted September 30, 2009 game seems like it's no different from any other...
Chalkie Gerzowski Posted September 30, 2009 Posted September 30, 2009 Buffalo's main rivalry is New England. New England's main rivaly isn't Buffalo. Jacksonville's main rivalry is its own fan base showing up.
C.Biscuit97 Posted September 30, 2009 Posted September 30, 2009 I didn't live through the 70s so I grew up watching the Bilsl always beat teh Fins. I'm indifferent to them. however, I hate the Pats (smug punks) and the Jets. I may actually hate teh Jets because of their obnxious fans who act like they have won something in 40 years. Plus, 2 of my best friends are Jets' fans and they are ruthless after Bills' losses.

jax bill backer Posted October 1, 2009 Posted October 1, 2009 Jacksonville's main rivalry is its own fan base showing up. and why are we talking about jacksonville? can anybody tell me why when I post something on this board it always comes back to the jaguars? Im a Bills fan but Im starting to get pissed off at bills fans because they simply don't want to hear that are team might move. And you know what im talkin about. Just because I live in jacksonville and people here seem to not go to the games it's automatacally my fault. just get real " The Bills might move" I know you dont want to hear it but hear it. Jacksonville will probaly move also because people here simply dont care. And it's not like all i talk about are the bills moving on here.gessh

Half of our defense is injured, the other half has broken bones. There is nothing saying Henne won't light us up just like Rosenfels did a couple years ago.
