Miami Dolphins fans are absolutely wild right now, totally torn on who their biggest rival even is. You’d think after all these years, it’d be settled, but a recent fan poll shows opinions are all over the map, revealing some deep frustration and even some wild takes on what makes a true rivalry.
The AFC East Is A Messy Family Feud
Ask some fans and it’s still the New York Jets, plain and simple. DolfaninME is all-in on that classic grudge. And RobNJ65? He’s not here for *any* of the division teams, calling out the “Jokes,” “Bufflef**k,” and “Cheaters” in that exact order. He even said the only thing more annoying than the Jets are their fans. Ouch. But then you’ve got others, like Longtimefan1 and Dolfanjoe, who are saying it’s squarely the Buffalo Bills these days. Longtimefan1 points to the sheer number of Bills fans who invade Miami for away games, and how the Dolphins haven’t beaten them away yet. Ouch, again. Dolfanjoe totally gets it, admitting it used to be the Jets, then the Patriots, but now it’s the Bills. He points to Buffalo having one of the best quarterbacks in the league, making them “for real.” He hopes Miami can knock one of them off their throne later in the season.
Beyond Just The W’s: Realignment, Rings, And Real Beef
The rivalry talk isn’t just about who’s winning now, though. Jets PhinsTifosi is still fuming about Super Bowl losses to DC, Dallas, and SF, believing those teams cost them five rings. That’s a deep cut! Coach K 13 hates the Bills just because he lives an hour away and has to listen to their “obnoxious fans” all the time, with the Jets a close second. HPoll drops a truth bomb: you gotta win to even have a rivalry. Hard to argue with that! He says he only dislikes the Jets because he lives on Long Island. But the wildest take comes from FFFL66IBA&O, who just wants the NFL to get its act together and realign the divisions. Seriously, they’re asking, “How South does Miami have to be?” They think the Dolphins belong in the AFC South. It’s a total mess of opinions, and UpInPensacola hits it right on the head, saying fans are “all over the map.” They argue that true rivalries, like high school cross-town games, don’t just shift around based on record.
It sounds like it’s going to be a long season for Miami fans, battling it out in a division where opinions are as split as the fan base. With their opener coming up against the Raiders, and those crucial late-season matchups against the Bills and Patriots on the horizon, we’ll see if the Dolphins can actually become the competition Dolfanjoe hopes for by the end of it all!
