BuffalothruMyVeins Posted January 9, 2014 Author Posted January 9, 2014 My friends always joke that if the bills move or cease to exist that they would go to all ends to get me to be a fan of their team. With no friend input id probably choose Cleveland because it is the most similar to the bills W friend input I'd probably go raiders as my college roommate is from there and a diehard I think I'm right there with you, the Browns are very similar to the Bills, so I consider them too, but they just seem SO similar to the Bills that I feel like I would just end up rooting for the only 2 teams to not make the Super Bowl before I die haha... whereas Oakland is a different kind of team, different kind of bad, so I could see them being up when Buffalo is down. But the history of misery and never having been to a Super Bowl definitely makes them a strong candidate. It feels like the debate is down to being between Cleveland and Oakland, unless anybody has any convincing argument otherwise.
Gugny Posted January 9, 2014 Posted January 9, 2014 If you have a 2nd favorite team, that means you're not a real Bills fan and deserve the death penalty.
BuffalothruMyVeins Posted January 9, 2014 Author Posted January 9, 2014 If you have a 2nd favorite team, that means you're not a real Bills fan and deserve the death penalty. I was waiting for someone to make this lame statement. Congratulations, you win.
stony Posted January 9, 2014 Posted January 9, 2014 I was waiting for someone to make this lame statement. Congratulations, you win. He's right, I hate em all. Seriously though, the NFL is so ahead of every other sport it's not even funny. Yet, internally and most certainly by myself, I've reasonably concluded I would probably stop following the league with the one exception being my fantasy league that keeps me in touch with my old HS buddies.
C.Biscuit97 Posted January 9, 2014 Posted January 9, 2014 If you have a 2nd favorite team, that means you're not a real Bills fan and deserve the death penalty. Agreed. Seriously, I can't imagine rooting for another team besides the Bills. I love football but these playoffs games are so meaningless for me. There's no emotion. The week 17 game against NE means more to me than the Super Bowl. The Bills are far and away my favorite team. The Sabres are a distant 2nd and then Cuse basketball. But other than that, I just watch sports as a causal fan. But nothing comes close to watching the Bills. It's about more than Bills. It's about Buffalo being able to compete with the biggest cities in America. And as awful as it's been the last 14 years, it's going to be that much better when they finally win. Does anyone really respect Pats fans?
Miyagi-Do Karate Posted January 9, 2014 Posted January 9, 2014 I can't have a second favorite team. I admire teams that have similar fans as us-- namely, Cleveland, Pittsburgh, and KC. But I can't root for anyone other than the Bills.
Bufcomments Posted January 9, 2014 Posted January 9, 2014 I have a Soft spot for the San Diego.....SuperChargers.... I did my military time out there and Went to a number of games ,while I was living out there. Plus they have THE baddest throwback unis EVER. Plus they have the finest Cheerleaders in have seen anywhere.
EasternOHBillsFan Posted January 9, 2014 Posted January 9, 2014 (edited) The question should be: What would be your team if the Bills did get relocated? I have thought about that several times over the last few years, because I have no second team. My list breakdown: NEVER due to hatred: Cowboys Dolphins Jets Patriots Raiders Steelers NEVER due to city/dislike of fans: 49ers Eagles Falcons Giants Lions Ravens Redskins Texans Titans UNLIKELY: Bengals - Their owner turns me off. Buccaneers - Florida teams don't interest me. Cardinals - Arizona is in the middle of nowhere to me, no connection, bad history. Jaguars - Terrible ownership, weak fan base, Florida team. Panthers - The fans don't seem to be large in number and it's kinda blah to me. OK, so that leaves the following list of candidates: HISTORICALLY STRONG/GREAT FANS: Bears Broncos Colts Packers Vikings GREAT FANS: Browns Chargers Chiefs Saints Seahawks ACCEPTABLE: Rams I have decided that is IF the time ever comes to where we are screwed out of the Bills, I'd go with the Bears. I love their fans, their history, and the city. Until then, screw them and any other team so long as the Bills play in Buffalo. GO BILLS! Edited January 9, 2014 by BmoreBills
Bufcomments Posted January 9, 2014 Posted January 9, 2014 If you have a 2nd favorite team, that means you're not a real Bills fan and deserve the death penalty. question should have been, what is your fav team when the playoffs start, because the Bills still don't know what it takes to get there lol
Pete Posted January 9, 2014 Posted January 9, 2014 (edited) having a second favorite team is polygamy and blaspheme Edited January 9, 2014 by Pete
ColdBlueNorth Posted January 9, 2014 Posted January 9, 2014 having a second favorite team is polygamy and blaspheme That is why I changed my response to "least repulsive"
Buffalo Barbarian Posted January 9, 2014 Posted January 9, 2014 Bandwagon all the way baby !!! why stick with one team, they wont be good forever so why bother. What if you were say a Browns fan and during the 90 you became a Bills fan because your team moved/ sucked, now you are stuck with endless losing because the Bills were good once. Last year I was rooting for the 9ers so almost made it but always like the Ravens bc of their smashmouth style, which is how I usually pick my second team, so it was win win. This year I went with the Broncos bc Peyton is simply amazing to watch and I figured they might win the Bowl, so go Broncos!

"That QB played good for a quarter, let's draft and start him!" Panthers... Lived in Charlotte for 20 years...But REALLY started following them more when my Nephew became a fan and they drafted Cam... There are so many bandwagon Panthers fan. My ex lives in Charlotte and she all of a sudden became a Panther fan this year. It makes me glad we broke up. And at least the Bills beat the Panthers this year!
Buftex Posted January 9, 2014 Posted January 9, 2014 I don't necessarily have a second favorite team, but I do enjoy watching certain players...I think, non-Bills, John Elway and Brett Favre have provided me with some pretty great football memories. I always kind of thought of the Broncos as my second favorite team, always pulled for them when they got clobbered in the Super Bowl...but it is really just Elway I liked. When Josh McDaniel coached the team, I hated them... I also have an affinity (though won't necessarily call them my second favorite team) for tough luck teams like the Bills, such as Cleveland and Cincinnati. Similar kinds of cities to Buffalo, similar kinds of fans, who, unfortuanately for them, were born in the blood of some terrible franchises. The Bengals were my team going into the playoffs this year...but now, pulling for the Panthers most (I like Cam), but would be fine with any other teams winning the whole thing, unless they reside in Foxboro, or are coached by ultra-douche bag coaches Jim Harbaugh or Pete Carroll. I sometimes think my dislike of other teams is much stronger than my like for any other teams. Bills all the way....
Buffalo Barbarian Posted January 9, 2014 Posted January 9, 2014 My friends always joke that if the bills move or cease to exist that they would go to all ends to get me to be a fan of their team. With no friend input id probably choose Cleveland because it is the most similar to the bills W friend input I'd probably go raiders as my college roommate is from there and a diehard Browns?! wow you just must like being miserable , just be a Pats fan, you live there, it would be great camaraderie and you are always in the playoffs.
GOBILLS78 Posted January 9, 2014 Posted January 9, 2014 My ex lives in Charlotte and she all of a sudden became a Panther fan this year. It makes me glad we broke up. Stalker
KRT88 Posted January 9, 2014 Posted January 9, 2014 I really don't have a second favorite team or a favorite player. I have lived in North Carolina for 15 years and I am starting to cheer for Carolina. When the two teams played each other this year, I never cared for one second about Carolina doing anything. Therefore: #1 Buffalo #31 Carolina #32 - every other team in the freakin league
Buffalo Barbarian Posted January 9, 2014 Posted January 9, 2014 Wow, this post says so much about you. "That QB played good for a quarter, let's draft and start him!" You can't handle the truth
