Notice i said Bengals are still my #1 and would still go for them against the Bills. I know what you're saying though. Lol And I don't mind the Colts. But cant stand their fans.

Welcome to Cincy! Hell yea. Gonna need to step up against Houston I understand joining Bills nation may involve being put through more pain than even the Bungles, errrr...Bengals have caused.. but it can be turned around. If they don't fire Gailey.. it may be worse than i originally expected lol

I will start off by saying that the Bengals are my #1 team. Bare with me. Almost 25 years old, born and raised in Cincy. Never stepped foot in Buffalo or New York State. So how did I become a Bills fan? Well, back in 2008 when Palmer went down, good ol Ryan Fitzpatrick came in and played 13 games for us. That was an awful year for the Bengals. But we actually kind of liked Fitz. 7th round pick from Harvard coming in with no expectation doing a solid job? We love underdog stories. Did we want him to replace Palmer? Hell no. But, we knew once Palmer went down the season was done. With zero playoff expectations, Fitz didn't do all that bad.. as a back-up. He did his job. He came in for a hurt qb and did a solid job. Heck, it eventually earned him a starting job with the Bills. Following that year when Fitz went to Buffalo I sorta kept tabs on him, hoping he'd be successful there. I have to admit that after the win over New England last year I was officially on the bandwagon and rooting for Fitz and the Bills to takeover the Patriots and win the AFC East. We all know how that went. So, I hopped on as a bandwagon fan. But during the meltdown of 2011 when all those other bandwagon fans were jumping off... I stayed on. Why? I have no idea. The amount of frusration coming from lifelong Bills fans makes you wonder why anyone would start rooting for the franchise now. Maybe the fact I'm a Bengals fan plays a part. We know frustration. We know how years of losing feels. Watching other teams in the playoffs while your team is taking an early vacation. Each fanbase has been through years of disappointment. But in Cincy, we've seen that getting the right personnel (Dalton, Green, Gruden, Zimmer, etc) in can turn everything around despite the teams history. First time we've made back to back playoffs since '81-'82. WOW. What I saw in the Bills: A team with a ton of heart that was sick of losing. Guys like Fred Jackson and Steve Johnson. A frustrated but very LOYAL fanbase that simply wants the owner to "want it" as bad as they do. A fanbase that braves subzero temperatures and ridiculous weather to support their team. No matter what. Oh and i've heard stories of the tailgating. That doesn't hurt. Buffalo With all the hype surrounding Buffalo before the season with the addition of Williams, Anderson and Gilmore, I was excited for the season to get underway for the Bills. I of course watched the Bengals and attended some games, but I watched every Bills game on NFL.com Rewind. So how do i see things as probably the newest Bill's fan on here? WOW. What a disappointment this season was for the Bills. I thought the team was poised to go 9-7 and maybe get a wild card. * Chan sucks. Needs to go. How you don't give the ball to Spiller 20 plus times a game should be enough to get him fired. The offense should be built around him. * Fitz needs to go. Brought me to the Bills in the first place. Great back-up. Gotta go. As much as I'd hate to see either of them go, hire Jay Gruden ( Bengals OC) or Mike Zimmer (Bengals DC) as head coach. Gruden has done great with grooming Dalton and Mike Zimmer could get the defense into shape. What a letdown of a year. Bills should have been great against the run. Well, i know this was long. If I can see these things as a Bills fan for less than 2 years, why can't the Bills front office see it? Well, hopefully they do and Chan is gone tomorrow. Also, this documentary played a good part of getting me into the Bills. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BL9zAFl5OG4 Don't know what i've gotten myself into.. but go Bills in 2013. I will root for the Bills unless they're playing Cincy. Unless say, the two teams meet in the future and the Bengals have no playoff chances and the Bills need a win to get them in. I hope to make it to Buffalo to see a game someday soon. Go Bills.
