Minnesota is Miami's Biggest Rival?

[phinfanfrommd]

I wasnt even born, but my father has a lot of old SIs and Miami played some good games against Minny in the 70s and 80s.

Not even close.

no. i think after our obvious division rivals, our next biggest rival would be Indy.

and they used to be division foes

Im not sure about Indy...they used to be in our division. If you are talking long term, then Id say probably after our division I'd have to go with the State Bragging rights argument and say Tampa is our biggest rival.

It seems like it's been forever since we've played the Colts. I like beating them a lot too and it probably is because they used to be in our division. It's always nice to get a crack at Manning too. Remember when JT broke his jaw a few years back? That hit was nasty.

I remember that hit it was great and I am not that big of a Manning fan which made it even more enjoyable to watch for me.

Tampa didn't beat us 62-7 in a playoff game. You've got the right idea, but I'd place Tampa behind Jacksonville.

i think you could make a case for Dallas, Washington and Minnesota as being our biggest NFC rivals though, whenever we play those three it always has a good atmosphere and is usually a pretty good game.

1. Jets
2. Bills
3. Patriots
4. Raiders (all though they're not making it fun like they used to)

Yes, the Dolphins and Vikings were good in the 70s, look at Superbowl VIII. Both teams had great defenses in that era.

I've talked with a few Bucs fans and I was surprised that they consider us a rivalry. I hardly consider the Bucs. :confused:

That was either Lorenzo Bromell or Kenny Mixon. I think it was Bromell. Either way, it wasn't Taylor.

:yes: It certainly was. Yeah I'm pretty sure it was Taylor.

EDIT: Nope, you were right Matt.

Manning sustained a hairline fracture of his jaw in the fourth quarter of a 27-24 loss to Miami when defensive end Lorenzo Bromell hit him underneath the chin strap after a pass. Bromell was penalized.

same as me. i hardly consider the other 2 florida teams a rival. id say to throw our top rivals out there outside of division it would be

indy
oakland
san diego
Pitt.
minny

The biggest NFC rival would be the Giants due to the amount of NEw Yorkers in Florida.
