Philly McButterpants Posted December 22, 2019 Share Posted December 22, 2019 1 hour ago, finn said: I second this. I'm not looking for Kumbaya, but the Pats fans really do suck overall. (I live in New England.) You hear a lot of sexual references like "The Bills are our b**ch," including in front of kids. The culture of Boston/Eastern Massachusetts has some admirable qualities, but it appears to breed males who are insecure about their masculinity. Could be they're genetically.... how to this delicately?... under-endowed? Their crude insults smack of compensation. An anthropologist should do a study, talk to their poor wives and girlfriends, check the demand for penile-enhancement equipment in the area. Sad, if you think about it. The Pats are their Viagra. Irish curse . . . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In two years that stadium will be half empty after Billicheat and Marcia are gone. Band wagon fans to the nth degree 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m a huge Bills fan but I work for a professional sports team so the whole obnoxious cheering and crap talking has been out of my toolbox for a few years now. I keep my mouth shut and try to soak in every aspect of the game... I enjoy that portion of it. Picking up the finer details and analyzing things in real time- it just comes with being a professional. Point being, I don’t invite being attacked. On ten separate occasions, TEN, I had people shoving and soliciting me to fight them. Ten different situations where it was 3-5 on 1 during my experience at Gillette with people attempting to fight me. I was appalled. I can MORE than handle myself but it’s not worth 25 to life for what the end result would have been. I’m just shocked... disgusted. The cops/security/game day staff seemingly turned a blind eye to it all. I know we have a bad reputation in Buffalo but I’ve NEVER experienced situations like these. Next time just ask them what their favorite Steve Grogan moment was. They will freeze and you can make your way past them. 2 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jab one of them in the throat as hard as you can next time and watch them fall to the ground struggling for air. It'll shut them up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, I do. They were upset it was taking so long and we were driving. They thought Morse was hamming it up for us to stop the clock and they didn’t appreciate that. A few around me were yelling “roll him off the field!” The fans around me were so upset that the refs were “screwing them” because our player was obviously faking and they weren’t making us burn a timeout for the injury. I had to explain that there was 2:59 on the clock and you are only forced to use a timeout under 2 minutes.

Conlan58 Posted December 23, 2019 Share Posted December 23, 2019 I was in section 112 for this game. While the general chatter around me lacked basic football knowledge, my wife and I never felt like people were being over the top. Sure, plenty of comments were made, harmless especially since some made me laugh at how uninformed some people were... curious to know which sections you guys were sitting in?

These would be the same people who think it is shameful that Edelman, having run an obvious pick, wasn’t gifted an illegal contact penalty and given a soothing drink and a cool rag for his brow as he lay on the field. I do so hate the Pats*****(did I use enough?) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is a thing called being a decent human-being. I can deal with banter and the occasional chirps but when people are getting physical with you numerous times it’s an issue. I’ve been to 4 road games this season alone, including Pittsburgh and haven’t experienced 1 issue with opposing fans. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
frogger Posted December 23, 2019 Share Posted December 23, 2019 their time is coming to an end, unfortunately because the Red Sox didn't do well, they have concentrated their efforts toward their football team.

Haslett_Stomp Posted December 23, 2019 Share Posted December 23, 2019 I lived in the Boston area for over 10 years and attended a few games at Foxboro and Gillette during that period. The first were in the pre-Brady/Belichik era and the stadium was half-empty as others have said. The last game was probably 7-8 years ago (the game Brandon Spikes knocked out Freddie with a cheap shot to the head). I received dirty looks at each but nothing as overtly aggressive as the OP describes. I attribute that to the Bills not being seen as a threat - more like "aw, how cute a Bills fan." The Massholes now see the end is near and are acting out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yup, was there with my father for many of them. We lived in OP. He'd get home from church at 12:20pm, we'd leave the house at 12:30, park in the Pellien lot on California Road and still be in our seats before kickoff because there were no lines at the gates.
