The Buffalo-Miami rivalry is about as dead as it’s ever been.

Buffalo is in the hunt and the Dolphins are at the bottom of the league. This week should have been about the hurting the Bills are about to lay on their alleged rivals. Instead, it’s been about the goose eggs the Bills laid in back-to-back weeks and the two-game winning streak the ‘Fins have ripped off.

On one hand, it’s good Miami is winning — it might keep Andrew Luck out of the division. On the other hand, this is Miami. We shouldn’t want them to win, ever. This is supposed to be a rivalry.

Rivalry are based on hate. Nobody cares anymore. Indifference doesn’t get our players to go out for blood and it doesn’t get people in Buffalo extra pumped for these two Sundays out of the year. Zero and sixteen. That should be what we want Miami to finish every single year. Dead last.

I don’t know if the Bills have it in them this week. The last two weeks have been terrible and Chan’s offense hasn’t been able to do anything. Maybe this rivalry still exists in South Beach.
