I grew up a falcons fan and became a Dolphins fan in middle school. For years I’ve always been confused about who is Miami’s biggest rival because the Falcons and the Saints clearly hate each other more then anyone else and there’s no confusion about it. I found a website with data collected from surveys done by a bunch of fans from every team, ranking who they hated the most and I wanted to know what you guys think. The data says this.
Dolphins fans: jets 46.3%, patriots 32.7%, bills 14.6%.
Bills fans: patriots 49.8%, dolphins 26.2%, jets 17.2%.
Jets fans: patriots 62.3%, dolphins 19.2%, bills 10.7%.
Patriots fans: jets 34.7%, ravens 11.6%, broncos 11.5%.
(If you notice, the percentages don’t add up because the rest are for other teams not in the top 3.)
There is absolutely no clear mutual hatred other then Jets and patriots. The patriots dominated the division for so long that they went out of the division for rivalries and they’re still delusional from it. The link is to the source for the dolphins but if you wanna see the other teams you just click on the team. Who do you guys think it is? Every team subreddit says they hate the jets including the jets lmao

To simplify. 80 and 90s we hate the Bills. 2000s we hate the Pats. Today we hate the bills. We always hate the Jets.
Bills are the dolphins biggest rival.
The issue with that is that the bills entered a large period of being completely dog shit, which is astounding.
During that period the dolphins battled with dog shit and occasional spurts that were toppled by Tom Brady and different winning jet teams.
However, truthfully speaking a dolphin fan since orgin will tell you it’s Buffalo. Buffalo is our largest rival and McDermott is our daddy cuz he’s made us look stupid since 2017
