wjag Posted January 19, 2021 Share Posted January 19, 2021 (edited) I also believe that we as hopeful football fans want to see the king toppled. This kid is too good, that team is too good and that organization is too good. If they can't be felled, then our (all other AFC fan bases) collective hopes for a superbowl diminish.

Success Posted January 19, 2021 Share Posted January 19, 2021 On their boards, the prevailing sentiment is a sort of glee about the possibility of the Bills making the SB - only to have their hopes & dreams crushed one last time by Brady.

From the bruins to the Patriots to some of the people lol If you grew up in Boston and you are Bills fan for 30 years all aboard.

Big Turk Posted January 19, 2021 Share Posted January 19, 2021 It's true...I checked out the Bills/Ravens thread on the Patriot Boards and most of the posters were rooting for the Bills. Apparently they think the Chiefs are too cocky and they don't want them going back to another SB and they think the Bills can beat the Chiefs, or at least have the best shot. They also really hate the Ravens or Ratbirds as they call them... Actually had some surprisingly knowledgeable posts about what was going on in the game and how the Bills were preventing Lamar from running 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What would have made their heads explode is if he hadn't left the division. Imagine being a Patriots fan and having to face a Brady-led Jets team twice a year. They got the best of it. He leaves the conference which allows them to still root for him. They have no reason to want to see a division rival do well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pete Posted January 19, 2021 Author Share Posted January 19, 2021 OK a LAMP post. I moved in with my girlfriend to Massachusetts. Her family has deep roots being Boston fans. So she’s come around on Bills. She sings Shout song all day, and gets me going. She says she still will root for NE over Bills, but loves the Bills. So yesterday she says order me and you Bills shirts, and I’ll pay. Woohoo! I struck gold with my girl! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I guess I don't really get how anyone could wish that on us after what we've been through. Maybe if we win the division a few more years. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BRH Posted January 19, 2021 Share Posted January 19, 2021 (edited) I've actually seen some Jets fans rooting for us, at least those who live in WNY. Their counterpart Dolphins fans are another story. I think part of that is that we kept Miami and their precious Danny Boy from getting to the big one a few times, including the year we let them win the division but still beat them at their place in the AFC championship. The Jets have never really been good at the same time as the Bills (though they've been bad at the same time a lot), so their fans don't have the same acrimony towards us. Same goes for the few real Pats fans that exist: their team was irrelevant whenever the Bills were good. By the same token, there are a lot of older Chiefs fans who hate the Bills because of what we did to them in the playoffs in the '90s.

H2o Posted January 19, 2021 Share Posted January 19, 2021 2 hours ago, Warcodered said: I mean with the four teams that are left the Bills are going to be a popular one to root for. This is true. I have had numerous people at work tell me, "I'm rooting for your boys to finally get one." And I'm like, "Yeah, me too." But seriously, even out in public all kinds of people talk to me because I have on my Bills gear now. "That Josh Allen, man, that guy is something else." "You guys are going to win it all." "It's your year." Stuff like that everywhere. Some of the people who were clowning me for having a Josh Allen jersey last year have now walked back on all of it. After all the years of catching grief we are finally up again. It feels great to have been dedicated through the tough times because it makes you actually appreciate the good that much more. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Punching Bag Posted January 19, 2021 Share Posted January 19, 2021 Bills-Pack all the way. I was fan of Hyde before he came to Bills, fan of Green Bay and this way our players do not need to watch out for cheap shots from Grunt. Besides would have to have Superbowl where opponent had full year experience in stadium. It is an advantage plus they do not need to travel like other team, sleep in own beds, etc. Who is home game by the way this year for Superbowl? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree. When the Bills have been eliminated, especially when it was well before the season was over, I still root for someone in the playoffs. The first time the Patsies were there, since they had sucked for so long and had a nobody sixth round draft pick as their QB, I rooted for the Patsies. Within a year or two of that, I rooted for almost anyone other than the Patsies (my 2nd favorite team has been whoever was playing the Patsies). Of course, it's not like I'm ever a diehard fan of any team other than the Bills. I kind of assume almost all football fans similarly find a team to root for in the playoffs if their team isn't there. I also suspect that unless there's a team they hate or a player they really like on one of the teams, they probably want the newcomer most of the time.
