Another Fan Posted January 7, 2019 Share Posted January 7, 2019 Jets/Giants country with some Eagles fans scattered in. Central Jersey. Pretty indifferent to it all. Though obviously was pulling hard for the Eagles in the Super Bowl last year. I like the Browns. If the Lions ever made the playoffs I’d pull for them Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gobillsinytown Posted January 7, 2019 Share Posted January 7, 2019 I live in Youngstown, Ohio so the coverage and interest is pretty much evenly split between the Browns and the Steelers. I actually want both teams to do well, because when they're playing meaningful games the rivalry is fantastic. And of course, the Steelers are never boring with all of the off-field drama. So I'm interested in both teams but the Bills get most of my attention. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

El Guapo Posted January 7, 2019 Share Posted January 7, 2019 I live in Birmingham, Alabama, and the Titans are a distant 2nd for me. Really, that’s because the Titans make a strong marketing push here, and the local stations do a lot of Titans stories. I don’t generally watch their games, as they are usually on when the Bills are playing. However, I do want them to do well, as long as it is not at the expense of the Bills. What is really strange is that there are very few Atlanta fans here, even though that is the closest team. Falcons do not market here at all. Of course, college ball is king here. Bama rules the roost, and I can’t stand Bama fans. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coloradobillsfan Posted January 7, 2019 Share Posted January 7, 2019 Nothing upsets me more than "fans" who pick two or more teams to root for, then change their clothes depending on which way the wind blows Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
buffaloboyinATL Posted January 7, 2019 Share Posted January 7, 2019 I live on Atlanta and I’m mostly indifferent to the Falcons. (And so are most Falcons “fans” unless they have a great year) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rico Posted January 7, 2019 Share Posted January 7, 2019 I live in Baltimore County, don’t like the Ravens. Hated the Orioles until they turned into the joke of MLB, now indifferent. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BillsWest Posted January 7, 2019 Share Posted January 7, 2019 Living in Northern CA, the 49ers are ok, I like what they are building, and it is my sons' favorite team. The Raiders, they don't even know where they are going to play, so it's not hard to forget about them. NOBODY beats my love for the Bills. After them, it's just kind of a like for the NFL, or for the guys on my fantasy leagues. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CajunBillsBacker Posted January 7, 2019 Share Posted January 7, 2019 Saints are a distant second. I’m more of a fan of Brees than the Saints if that makes sense. Saints fans are annoying, especially because I’ve been a Bills fan since Saints fans were wearing paper bags over their heads in the 80’s. Those people who are dumbfounded because I’m a Bills fan and not a Saints fan really didn’t care until Sean Payton and Drew Brees came along. Now they are all super fans with their black and gold everything. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dubs Posted January 7, 2019 Share Posted January 7, 2019 I lived in Boston from 1999 to 2012. I started of kind of being happy to support the Pats when they were not playing the Bills or it didn’t have any impact on the Bills, see first super bowl. By the time 2008 or so rolled around I despised the Patriots more than any other professional sports team. Then moved to Chicago in 2012 and genuinely like the Bears and their fans. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Happy Posted January 7, 2019 Share Posted January 7, 2019 I live in the Washington, DC area, the heart of Redskins country. I am not a Redskins fan, but I don't completely hate them; I'm content they're a mediocre team so the media and local fans don't too obnoxious about them. Most 'Skins fans are ok, and I actually feel kind of bad for them since the owner, Dan Snyder, and his right hand man, Bruce Allen, are holding the team back. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HuSeYiN_NYC Posted January 7, 2019 Share Posted January 7, 2019 I was born and raised in Queens NYC and moved to Long Island NY 2 years ago (am 40 now) and I wouldn't call the Giants and Jets "local" teams since they play in Jersey but obviously I hate the Jets and can't really say that I hate the Giants honestly since they are NFC and we see them once every four years or unless we see each other in the big game. I'll tell you another interesting fact though. The fans of those teams are polar opposites. You can tell a Jets fan from their arrogance and cocky attitude from a Giants fan being somewhat more (I can't find a good word), ummmm, I want to say mature but I'll just go with, normal. My love for the Bills is a whole other story which I won't get into but even though I haven't ever lived in Buffalo, I went to at least 1 home game every year for 15 years straight and I can tell you that even though Bills fans are known to be on YouTube and other social media outlets doing crazy stuff, they are the most welcoming fans and more importantly, the smartest fans I've come across. Every game I've gone to I've sat next to knowledgeable fans who I can talk good football talk with. Of course you have a guy who drinks too much every once in a while but you have at least 3 people in front of you that are within communication distance, 3 behind you, 2 to your right and 2 to your left, so the chances of meeting good fans are to your advantage. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

billsfan1960 Posted January 7, 2019 Share Posted January 7, 2019 I have been living in the Tampa Bay area for nearly 22 year and follow the Bucs. It was nice to experience a Supper Bowl win, I hope I can experience one with the Bills. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

'Skins fans and media don't have much room to talk trash about other teams, especially since theirs is going no where with the current ownership. If reports are true, Redskin fans know this.
