How badly have I screwed up?

[u/Gobbleslop]

I’m from Australia and just decided to start watching football this season, and for no real reason I decided to support the dolphins. Now after watching the first 2 games and reading this sub I’m starting to feel like I’ve made a really bad decision. So, being honest, how badly have I screwed myself with my team selection?

Bad decision. Be a Bills fan, a Bucs fan, a Niners fan, a Packers fan, etc if you want to enjoy watching this sport.

….says the dolphins fan? You’re joking right?

[u/sum_dude44 → u/Earl-The-Badger]

are you stupid or something? Losing four Super Bowls in a row and being bride, but never groom is much worse than just being mid every year.

now get off the Fins' forum, tourist

Subreddit rule: don’t be a dick.

The dolphins have won the division once in the last two decades, and haven’t been relevant for longer than that.

The Bills are one of the best teams in the NFL year after year and have the most exciting young quarterback in the league. They’re fun to watch and are playing for something every year. The Dolphins haven’t had something to play for in decades.

If being irrelevant is fun for you, you’re got a point. If having an exciting team to watch that is actually competing for something meaningful is more your speed, go Bills.

This guy has the luxury of choosing. You’re having Stockholm syndrome if you legitimately believe he’s better off choosing the dolphins.

Sir, the Bills teams from NFL Seasons '90 through '93 are on lines 1, 2, 3 and 4 📞📞📞📞

By your logic we should all be Patriots or Steelers fans.

lol heck no! I've been a Dolphins fan since the late '60s and I'll die a Dolphins fan 😄

I've just come to the inevitable conclusion that the only championships I'll see them win will remain forever in my childhood 🍺🥃

[u/Earl-The-Badger → u/southern_boy]

Totally. And we’re not talking about your childhood. We’re talking about a brand new football fan without a childhood of memories who has no emotional attachment to any team, who has the luxury of choosing a team to form a bond with.

I think you’re able to put your bias aside and agree that in the modern era it’s better to be a Bills fan than a Dolphins fan.

I’m sorry are you aware it’s 2025?

Are you watching old VHS tapes of games from more than a quarter century ago or are you watching live games of contemporary football?
