MattM Posted February 11, 2011 Posted February 11, 2011 I just wanted to say thank you for being the best fans ever. We went to Bills-Packers this year and I felt like an idiot for going around telling everybody here in Denver that the Bills have the best fans. Don't get me wrong, I'm Bills for life, but at Rich Stadium there are 10,000 too many young punks who wouldn't be able to afford a ticket to any other stadium in the league with chinstrap beards, funneling beers, cranking R&B out of their parents' SUV, looking to fight anyone with an opposing jersey, who have never even heard of Kent Hull. If you have never been to Green Bay (or KC for that matter, whose fans are also vastly superior to ours), you cannot criticize this post. The fans there would literally come up to you and say, "Oh you guys are Bills fans? Welcome to Green Bay! Can we get you anything to eat? Make sure you check out the museum while you're in town. You should try and head into the game a little early, there's gonna be a flyover today. Well it was really nice meeting you guys, good luck today!" Really put things in perspective. I'd take Lambeau over Yankee Stadium X Fenway X Wrigley in a heartbeat. If you've never been, GO NOW, because no matter how much you think you "get" the Packers and their fans, you don't until you've been there. -Metz Plus one--I went to the game at GB this year as well and had a generally similar experience, except for the drunk Packers fan sitting next to me who gave me grief for the first half of the game, but was my buddy by the end of the game (after they'd kicked our behinds), even sharing his gin soaked cherries with me and giving me some Packers gear he had before he left. I must admit, however, that the Steeler fans in Pittsburgh a few years ago were great to my dad and I as well, despite what some others above have written.....
metzelaars_lives Posted February 11, 2011 Posted February 11, 2011 Ditto on this. i went to the game in GB this year too and it was an awesome experience. The fans there were extremely hospitable. I would certainly go back (with my Packer friend) even to see a non-Bills game! I would too. I really wanted to go to the Packers-Vikings game this year just to see the reaction to Favre because he was such a controversial figure at Lambeau. Everybody had an opinion on him. Remember how loud it got when they showed the highlight of him getting picked in the endzone against the Dolphins? The place went nuts.
Rumblinstumblin Posted February 11, 2011 Posted February 11, 2011 (edited) I hate the Titans. They always have been douches to us as well. Being a semi-Texan fan I know they HATE the Titans. They hate the Titans ten times more than the Cowboys and that is saying something. Edited February 11, 2011 by ACCCINhippo324
Ozymandius Posted February 11, 2011 Posted February 11, 2011 When I saw the thread title, I thought this would end up being sarcastic with the Packer fan thanking us for drafting Maybin instead of Matthews and trading for Losman instead of waiting for Aaron Rodgers.
dollars 2 donuts Posted February 11, 2011 Posted February 11, 2011 Thanks Bills fans for your support in our championship run. You guys are awesome people. I am so jacked that we won the championship!!!!!!! It is a great feeling. I love this football team and I love our fanbase and people like you guys that have supported us every step of the way. Thanks again. Much love and respect for your team as well. From a Packer fan Second favorite team since I was youngin' going back to Dickey and Loften. Congrats on the championship. I'm a little annoyed that your President and CEO, Mark Murphy, doesn't get much press play around these parts seeing as he is a Clarence High School graduate, Class of 73...Go Red Devils!!

I am 26 (a little older than you your probably referring to) but I consider myself to be a respectful and positive ambassador of Bills fan-hood. Let me also reach out and send congrats to Green Bay as well. I can't think of a fan base that deserved a championship more, although I wouldn't mind one of our own to celebrate. Plus one--I went to the game at GB this year as well and had a generally similar experience, except for the drunk Packers fan sitting next to me who gave me grief for the first half of the game, but was my buddy by the end of the game (after they'd kicked our behinds), even sharing his gin soaked cherries with me and giving me some Packers gear he had before he left. I must admit, however, that the Steeler fans in Pittsburgh a few years ago were great to my dad and I as well, despite what some others above have written..... A lot of Steelers fans get a bad wrap because there are a lot of obnoxious ones out there. The same could be said of all fanbases though. Plus I think people just dislike the Terrible Towel and associate anyone waving it, with it lol.
seq004 Posted February 11, 2011 Posted February 11, 2011 I was rooting for them all the way. Your welcome!

Thanks again. Much love and respect for your team as well. From a Packer fan No Ice Bowl - THANK YOU. My company was bought by an Pittsburgh outfit, and I have had all I can stomach of the Penguins and the Steelers. I was bracing for another onslaught of emails with pictures of Ben Rapelisberger kissing the Lombardi trophy. We have a pool now to buy some Packer towels and a Wisconsin cheese platter to send out to our friends in PA. Small-market team with the right attitude, drafting, and leadership. Are you taking any notes Nix?
The Senator Posted February 12, 2011 Posted February 12, 2011 Have always admired the Packers - had a Bart Starr action figure toy as a kid, and have Lombardi's inspirational pearls posted all around my work space. Nice to see a fellow ' small-market ' team continue to show the rest of the NFL what true fan-dom is. Congrats to the Packers players, the entire organization, the City of Green Bay, and especially Packers fans! Oh...and a special congrats to QB Graham Harrell, whom I predicted two years ago (with amazing prescience) would win a Superbowl ring one day!

Thanks again. Much love and respect for your team as well. From a Packer fan Packers were my team for SB 45. Seeing at least one game in Green Bay is on my bucket list..
Billsguy Posted February 12, 2011 Posted February 12, 2011 Classy team with classy fans. A championship well-deserved. Congratulations, Ice!!! Congratulations on drafting Bulaga! Fortunately for the Packers, the Bills didn't have a need for a starting right tackle!
bowery4 Posted February 12, 2011 Posted February 12, 2011 (edited) Congrats Ice hopefully oneday we will see a Bills vs the Pack superbowl and you won't be feeling so damn good lol and see I told you, they'd get there back when we played them (even if I did think it would be the Ravens they'd play). You and your "oh no, were going to go 8 & 8" or "do you really think Rodgers is good enough?" Edited February 12, 2011 by bowery4
Bob in STL Posted February 12, 2011 Posted February 12, 2011 I hate the Titans. They always have been douches to us as well. Never liked the Titans, Bud Adams, or those crap uniforms.
