Nick the Greek Posted August 25, 2018 Share Posted August 25, 2018 (edited) I remember Ben Coates has some crazy circus catch against the Bills back in the day.. But I cant really remember Pats players from back that far. Edited August 25, 2018 by Idandria Fixed spelling of "Coates" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
17years&waiting Posted August 25, 2018 Share Posted August 25, 2018 I was in Boston last summer for a weekend to visit my sister. I wore a Bills shirt around the city and got about 15 "Go Bills" from people I walked by that day. The only heckling I got was from the owner of an Italian restaurant, and even that was good natured and not mean spirited. It left me thinking that there are a lot of closet Bills fans in Boston.

OldTimeAFLGuy Posted August 25, 2018 Share Posted August 25, 2018 ...back in the 60's, the Rochester Jaycees used to host Bills exhibitions at the then Aquinas Stadium, a HS venue built in the 50's that held 20,000.....Aquinas HS used to play small college teams for the better competition.....Bills played the then BOSTON Patriots in 1967........oldtimers would remember Babe Parilli, Gino Cappellitti, Jim Nance, Houston Antwine, and even Nick Buoniconti.....

Wore my Bills hat the whole time, Even went to Gillette stadium. I was looking to get into it with *pats fans. Gotta say, they were very nice. Not what I was expecting at all. Yeah I was expecting to hear about it from them more but honestly ive heard justas many "Go Bills!" comments from ex Buffalo natives or people from the area visiting.

Success breeds the bandwagon. Just say Williams. That covers 5 in 1! And shout out any of our stupid QBs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BuffaloButt Posted August 25, 2018 Share Posted August 25, 2018 The best way to remember the old players is from Nintendo Tecmo Bowl. Late 80's. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One got 3, one got 2 and the others got 1 each...i then proceeded to rattle off about 15 players for them off the top of my head... Confirms what we already knew...Patriot fans are the ultimate front runners and bandwagon fans... All they could say to me after i did that was some version of "Yeah well your team still sucks!". I told them I was revoking their fan card but not to worry because they could just pick another good team to root for and get an early head start for when the Patriots start sucking again once Brady and Bellichick retire. Boston is and always has been, first and foremost, a Red Sox/baseball town. You won't find better or more knowledgable baseball fans anywhere on the planet. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
