The Pats are finally creeping up there into the "legitimate" rivalry stage. They sucked for so long that they never really established any sound rivalries but they've been good now for a couple of years and are really starting to piss people off. I would however, have to place them at the bottom of that list on a historical basis. They simply cannot compete with the deep seeded hatred every true 'Fin-fan has for either the Jests or the Jills.
The Pats have not sucked for a long time. Even when they sucked Bledsoe took up his game just for the Phins. Go back and look at games against them. We seldom sweep them.
The Dolphins lead the all-time regular season series with the Patriots, 44-29. In postseason play, the Patriots own a 2-1 edge. The Dolphins have won six of the last nine meetings, seven of the last 11 and 20 of the last 29 in regular season play, although the Patriots have captured the last two.
The Dolphins are 21-15 against the Patriots in New England during the regular season. The Patriots are 1-0 against the Dolphins in New England during the postseason. The Dolphins last defeated the Patriots in Foxboro on December 24, 2000 in the season’s final week, when they came away with a 27-24 victory in a win that clinched the AFC East title for Miami.
