H2o Posted September 11, 2021 Share Posted September 11, 2021 I wouldn't be personally because I remember fully the sting of 4 consecutive SB losses. I'll be happy with one, just one, but multiple would be awesome. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TDO'Kearney Posted September 11, 2021 Share Posted September 11, 2021 (edited) But when we were down 30 in the 4th to Brady, I had a REASON to throw harmless drunken punches around the upper deck before being escorted out by yellow windbreakers that said "Erie County Sheriff".

Don Otreply Posted September 11, 2021 Share Posted September 11, 2021 So after so very many seasons of futility, you are asking if Bills fans will lord it up when conversing with other teams fans? the answer is kinda 50/50 half the fan base absolutely will, the other half will be more low keyed about it, but will get their jabs in…, but in a more nuanced way, Sure hope we get to find out👍 Go Bills!!!

Rocky Landing Posted September 11, 2021 Share Posted September 11, 2021 I can certainly understand how Patriots* fans would be considered the benchmark for obnoxious fans. All my in-laws are Pats* fans, but it's not just Patriots* football they're interminably obnoxious about. Honestly, I think it just has more to do with being from Boston. Don't get me wrong, I love Boston, I love (most of) my in-laws, and I have blood relatives in Boston, as well. It's a wonderful city, and if you're there, and stop somebody to ask for directions, you'll get a far more involved description than you could imagine, and their life story. But, make no mistake-- the other side of that talkative, and friendly coin is some serious Grade A douche-baggery, that they themselves refer fo as being a "Masshole." So, fear not. There have been other teams that have achieved sustained success in the history of the NFL, that didn't fall into a pattern of being insufferable dickheads. Believe it, or not, there's been a saying in other parts of NFL fandom that states: "The best thing about the Bills, are the fans." I think that will continue, even after a Super Bowl, or two. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Talley56 Posted September 12, 2021 Share Posted September 12, 2021 Gotta be honest, I am on an AFC East Facebook page and there are a bunch of obnoxious Bills fans over there already. Hoping they are the minority. I am all for celebrating a good team but I don't see the point in being a jerk to other teams (maybe unless they were jerks first).

It was never my style during the Super Bowl years and it won't be now. I enjoy celebrating Bills success with my family and fellow Bills fans, I don't need to go screaming it at others who don't care or whom I don't care about. Honestly, a lot of Bills fans are obnoxious now on social media every time they perceive some real or imagined slight against the team. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Albany,n.y. Posted September 12, 2021 Share Posted September 12, 2021 Back when I was working I could get pretty obnoxious during the Super Bowl years. One time a co-worker told me "I never thought the NFL season was too long until I sat next to you." Another time my boss got mad at me when he didn't like my response to questions posed by one of the lawyers in a mock setting for a future trial. I got mad back at him because I thought I gave honest answers (which was not what the lawyer was looking for) to the questions. I yelled back at my boss "I don't care if he doesn't want me testifying, Do whatever you want, I'm going to the Super Bowl in 2 weeks."

Fleezoid Posted September 12, 2021 Share Posted September 12, 2021 Back in the Super Bowl years, I don't remember hearing too much about abnoxious fans. Most of the comments from other fans was, "not the Bills again." They just got tired of the same team. Now perhaps if we had won 1 or 2, our rhetoric may have been different.

Orlando Tim Posted September 12, 2021 Share Posted September 12, 2021 Two reasons the fans who were here in 2017 will never be: 1) we will not defend a cheater the way they did which is why they truly suck. 2) Bills fans are passionate, we will be more obnoxious but nothing bear the milquetoast Pat fans. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mango Posted September 12, 2021 Share Posted September 12, 2021 I saw a bunch of Bills fans on Allen this afternoon (grabbed wings at Gabes Gate)surrounding a guys truck with their Bills flags and decked out in jerseys. So there’s a good possibility. Ha! Seriously though, we’ve seen some threads this off-season about Allen breaking breaking every NFL record imaginable and a whole bunch of similar topics. Unfortunately we may be trending in that direction. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

machine gun kelly Posted September 12, 2021 Share Posted September 12, 2021 It’s a loaded question as there is so much variance within any group, you can’t make assertions. Some Pats fans are ok, some are i noxious jerks. Some Bills fans are tried and true, and some are obnoxious. Just go to a game. Overall we are more loyal than many fan bases as we were selling 55-60,000 season tickets in a tough economy, tough climate and a bad team for 17 years.

galept Posted September 12, 2021 Share Posted September 12, 2021 IMO, one Superbowl, or a couple, will not make up for two decades of getting spanked by the Patriots as they win six rings. It will not make up for the coaching and QB carousel that we had. It will not make up for all the losing seasons and the lack of playoffs and playoff wins. I hope we're humble and appreciate knowing that the bleeding has stopped and that we finally have a great team. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rc2catch Posted September 12, 2021 Share Posted September 12, 2021 I like to think I’m a pretty reasonable fan. I don’t talk too much trash cause there’s not much to talk. It’s so easily rebutted with KC has owned us. 4 SB losses. One good year is my favorite. I generally just say Bills fans have suffered for decades.

At the time, nobody else in our division was even getting a whiff of a Super Bowl, we OWNED Miami during the early and mid 90's and I don't remember being shy about assisting any of their fans raise their awareness of that...
