Stank_Nasty Posted January 19, 2021 Share Posted January 19, 2021 (edited) 54 minutes ago, soldier said: I truly dislike the term. I live in Wisconsin, a few years ago a when I went to the Bills/Packers game. A Packer fan came up to me and started asking me if I was a member of the Bills Mafia and if jump through tables like the people on in the internet do. I told him no and he kept following me anyways. Hell, he only stopped following me because he saw someone wearing a OJ Simpson jersey and began to bug him. However, I do agree that this term is not going away. It has given the people that use the term notoriety, through the players using it and members of the media using it. I'm really not sure why every fan base needs a pet nickname for themselves (The Dawg Pound, Ravens Flock, Cheeseheads, Gang Green, etc..). thats says way more about the weirdo following you than it does the bills mafia name.... pretty easy to see that. i was also at that game. funny story... the dude beside my wife and i was so freaking drunk he called us minnesota the whole game. no joke. alllll game. what a memory.

BobbyC81 Posted January 19, 2021 Share Posted January 19, 2021 I don’t like the association with the idiots who jump off RVs onto flaming tables. Some people then think Bills fans are crazy. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ethan in Cleveland Posted January 19, 2021 Share Posted January 19, 2021 (edited) Hate the name. Posted that in at least four other threads this year. I will say however nationally there has been a slight shift in the national narrative from table jumping to these series of donations. Its one benefit of no tailgating in 2020.

buffaloboyinATL Posted January 19, 2021 Share Posted January 19, 2021 The funny thing is, I don't mind it as a descriptor of the Bills fan base in general, but I don't use it to describe myself. But generally, I feel like our crazy fans need some sort of title and that one has a pretty good sound to it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wiseman3 Posted January 19, 2021 Share Posted January 19, 2021 Some of you need to lighten up...in no way are people associating Bills Mafia with the actual Mafia, which by the way isn't really a major thing anymore anyways. Thats like saying you are offended by the Minnesota Vikings name because Vikings once killed/pillaged your ancestral families land. Lol, its just a name. A vast majority of people, players, staff members embrace it and welcome it. Everyone here just seems grumpy 2 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Buffalo ill Posted January 19, 2021 Share Posted January 19, 2021 I think of billsmafia as being a branch of bills fans. If bills fans were the military, you have the air force in the expensive box seats, and the navy taking up the prime location season tickets. The Army is getting whiskey drunk before the game watching/occasionally participating with the Marines in munching on crayons and jumping through tables.

Ridgewaycynic2013 Posted January 19, 2021 Share Posted January 19, 2021 Once the domed stadium is built, the corporate types will take over with wine and cheese tastings instead of bowling ball shots. Look for 'Buffalo Now!' as the name. Table diving replaced by business card exchange networking meetings prior to games, and those will be strictly electronic. It will be like when Sam sold 'Cheers' to the corporation. 😳 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's how it started, now it is generic to the entire Bills fan base, much as 31 other teams are _____ Nation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But the term was mostly used to describe the drunk table jumpers not the fan base that could pack away stadiums and donate hundreds of thousands of dollars. As I said above, maybe it’s changing.

The Firebaugh Kid Posted January 19, 2021 Share Posted January 19, 2021 Its a really cool name. Sounds thuggish, but gives more to charity than any other teams fan base. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I guess it's appropriate though. I think this sums it up perfectly, when I talk about the Bill I never reference The Bills Mafia, sounds hoaky Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
