I don't hate Kansas City

[Success]

Is that wrong?  

 

Mahomes is one of the most fun players in the league to watch. You almost have to love that guy as a general fan of the game. It's cool that he and Allen have so much respect for each other and have said they're friends off the field.  I also have always liked Reid, and he really paid his dues in Philly all those years.  

 

I also see their market & history has similar to Buffalo.  Not an NFL darling, passionate & crazy fanbase.  Came up short for decades before finally having a team that can deliver.  And Patriots fans hate KC, so that has to count for something.

 

I find it strange that I don't hate them, because I usually hate any team that ends my team's season even once, and they've done it twice now.

 

Anyone else feel that way?  I have a feeling I'm going to get a lot of vomit reactions, but I was curious.

 

[BuffBillsForLife]

I don't hate Mahomes, and I don't hate Andy Reid.

 

I definitely hate Kelce.

[danh920]

Reid is a character and I was happy he got his ring. 

 

For some reason, Mahomes face is looking more and more punchable as the years go by. 

[MJS]

I like Mahomes alright. I like Reid. But they have some bad personalities on that team. Now that Tyreek Hill is gone, that improves it a little.

 

They have some terrible, terrible fans though. I know every fanbase has some bad apples, but they have more than their fare share. And their message boards are the worst I have ever seen.

[Stank_Nasty]

For me its more the fan base and their reactions to anybody even being compared to their qb or franchise. They conduct themselves like they're in the middle of a dynasty and its just not the case. Try telling one of them that Mahomes isnt all alone way up in his own "god tier" and watch them plug their ears and stomp their feet like a toddler.

 

I said to my wife on monday night "I never thought i'd ever get as much pleasure out of seeing a man hit the turf like i did brady.... but here i am getting erect anytime Mahomes hits the ground."

 

..... also the constant gushing over Mahomes underhand shovels..... ITS F****** SHOVEL PASS! WHO CARES IF HE TOSSED IT LIKE A SOFTBALL!!!!????

[Big Turk]

Their fans are pretty arrogant and can't fathom how anyone could say Allen is better than Mahomes.

 

You can't even have any sort of convo about it without them basically telling you to F off.

 

But it's alright. I don't want them to give it to us, I want the Bills to go take it from them.

I agree. i was happy for him..... little did i know the whole fan base would act like they never had business losing a game for the rest of time...

i feel the same. Some really shady characters. But Hill was the worst. He is at home now on the Dolfelons.

[Beast]

I absolutely despise the Chiefs and want the Bills to stomp the ever loving hell out of their balls.

 

Is that wrong?

I do find that main message board to be strange.  It's anecdotal, but my other interactions w/ KC fans have been really good, and they seem kind of like us.

 

But that board is one of the most toxic places not only among sports boards, but on the internet in general.  It's almost cartoonish how vile that place is.

You have to wonder how many band wagon jumpers there board has attracted, and how many of them are driving the more distasteful discourse. 

[John from Riverside]

I don’t hate the players or their coach their fans are insufferable

You might not have a lot of people on this particular corner of the internet agreeing with you, but I don't think it's a weird take at all.

 

It's why you see fans of many other teams enjoy watching both Allen & Mahomes so much, even more so when they're competing against each other.

 

I can't "hate" Mahomes either. I went to Texas Tech when he was the QB, I desperately advocated for him & wanted the Bills to draft him in 2017, and then he went on to become one of the most exciting QB's to ever play in the league. He's not disrespectful, he's a good community guy, he always gives back to Lubbock & Tech, and has a good relationship with Josh too.

 

But hey, all is well that ends well! We got our guy, he developed into a franchise player, & now is the only player spoken of in the same breath as Mahomes. Not Rodgers, not Brady, not Burrow, not Lawrence... just Allen & Mahomes! 😁

 

So instead, I direct my hate towards the Chiefs as a team & other players who are openly cocky (like Tyreek was). Or I just point my anger towards his idiot younger brother (who even seems to annoy Patrick) 🤣

The Pat Mahomes special shovel pass at the goal line that I see so many teams try and replicate but fail miserably.  

[BullBuchanan]

They're exactly the kind of team every fan base should want, imo. All-time great coach, all-time great QB, the best TE to ever step foot on a football field and they play at peak performance every year regardless of what happens.

[nedboy7]

You can respect them... but to like them?  nah. 

[mrags]

Ugh. I hate Mahomes, Reid, and Kelce more than I ever hated any single player, team ever. 

[coloradobillsfan]

I lived in KC for a year around the turn of the millennium, and I found KC fans to be pretty good fans.  They wanted to talk about Marv Levy whom they still have a lot of reverence for, they possessed a good amount of knowledge of teams outside KC, they start their tailgate preparations days beforehand, they HATE the Raiders with a passion, and they take their family photos in Chiefs gear.  When the Bills were in town, we got a lot of good-natured ribbing followed by a lot of props for traveling so far to support our team.  Any fanbase is going to have its lowest common denominators, but I found their fan base (and city) to be pretty amicable all in all.  

[Dr. Who]

They have a penchant for sketchy character guys. The fans that dominate their message boards are apparently juvenile morons. Everyone has their share of dopes, but what is optimally marginal is the center over there. Their local play-by-play fella is obnoxious as hell. Mahomes is pretty good on those State Farm commercials, though. In general, I've come to dislike them pretty strongly. The fact that we seem to almost always have to play them in Arrowhead irks.

[SCBills]

I just hate them because they’re the only team I feel can beat us when it matters.. and, so far, they have.  (Even though last year was the first year we were truly on their level)

 

Until/When that changes, I get irrationally annoyed at Mahomes prancing around, throwing dropped interceptions at a hilarious clip and executing gimmick red zone plays that only work for KC. 
 

Once we get past them, or avoid them to get to where we want to go, I’ll probably be able to appreciate them more. 

[Bills2022]

Why would anyone hate them?  I sort of like them and was rooting for them against Brady.  They aren't in our division.  We actually have a winning record against KC.  27-24-1.  Last year was a brutal loss but they lost the next week.  

[TheBrownBear]

I hate their fans (check out Chiefs Planet for the height of arrogance), and I hated Hill since he's a scumbag.  I hate Kelce because he's cocky and he kills us, but if he was a Bill, I'd LOVE the dude.

 

Don't really have an issue with Reid and I actually like Mahomes.  He's a hell of a player, fun (and frustrating as an opponent) to watch, and he seems to be a really good guy like Josh.  And I always like a fellow golfer, so there's that too.

 

Mostly, I "hate" them since they are the guys standing between us and the Super Bowl.  When we finally get past them, I'll move past "hate" (and honestly a little fear) towards a healthy respect and sense of rivalry.

 

And, of course, when we speak of "hate" we are talking completely in the context of sports watching.  We obviously don't really hate their players, the city or its people.  At least I don't.

I like most of the Organization.

 

I dont like Mahomes wife/brother from what ive seen.

 

I dont like the NFL choosing to help the Chiefs. Example when we were crushing them last primetime game regular season. The refs literally made up calls against the Bills in the 3rd quarter to get them back in it.

 

Against the Raiders after the fans booed the ***** out of the refs for that lame duck roughing the passer. They then proceeded to give the next 15 calls to the Chiefs.

[Ray Stonada]

No question that Mahomes is the most exciting QB I’ve watched other than Josh, the last five to seven years. Just an incredible skill player who has the winner’s mindset, just like Josh. Before we got good enough to challenge KC I even rooted for him, like in that crazy 54-51 game against the Rams.

Overrated 

[Nextmanup]

Yeah, I don't hate them and have always liked the KC fanbase, which is basically identical to our own.

 

Some franchises you hate, others you don't.

 

I've always liked KC, Green Bay, Seattle, a few here and there.

 

Typically teams that don't have much of a history with the Bills and have never really done anything bad to us.

 

LOL

They are nothing like us.

Anyone see that recent Godzilla movie where he tore up Fenway Park? That scene was pretty great, but it would’ve been even better if he tore up Arrowhead Stadium during a Chief’s open practice. Tomahawk Chop the big guy all you want, it’s not gonna work.

[Virgil]

If they weren't the team who's knocked us out of the playoffs the last two years, or if I didn't view them as a current threat, I would root for them.  If they were in the NFC, I would root for them.

 

In listening to a lot of Podcasts this week, you can see where the Bills players themselves really like Pat and Kelce, which makes me like them a bit more.  Mahomes can come off a little cocky, but so can Josh.  His wife and brother are the problems.  I hear nothing but good things about Kelce and his brother's podcast is funny.  Kelce can laugh at himself.

So, I hear you.  I don't hate them. I hate losing to them.  But even this week is only a big deal to me because of the potential tie-breaker scenario for the one seed.  Win or lose, it means nothing to me regarding how the next playoff matchup will go

 

[Bills!Win!]

I hate them. I hate a lot of teams. Once we win the super bowl I won’t really hate anyone anymore

I don't get into the hate as much as I did when I was a younger fan. All I want are wins. I hate losses though. Hate those a bunch. We're good enough now where no teams really disrespect us.

I'd agree that the "hate" thing is more prominent in youth.  Though, as an older dude, I find I still have it for the Patriots and Boston teams in general.  That almost feels like part of my DNA now.  But I can't say I really "hate" too many other teams (and another poster said it, but we're just talking sports hate - not real, vitriolic hate).

[Lost]

I only hate them when they're in our path to the Lombardy

[Greg S]

I don't hate them. They are not really a rival. The games the last few years have been big games because both are good. Also Allen vs Mahomes is the modern day Brady vs Manning. But once one or both of these teams decline then it will just go back to being another ho-hum game. The Pats, Jets, Dolphins I will hate those teams 24-7-365.
