billsfan1959 Posted September 3, 2014 Posted September 3, 2014 Over the last 20+ years I have lived in DC and North Carolina. I began, and remain indifferent to the Redskins and Panthers. There are certain players I like (e.g., Peyton Manning and Aaron Rodgers) and I will root for their teams - as long as they are not playing the Bills. However, I have never been able to develop an emotional attachment to another NFL franchise...not even close....
merlin Posted September 3, 2014 Posted September 3, 2014 Moved to Indianapolis in 1977, so was here when the Colts moved out from Baltimore. Pretty much ignored them in the early years, and continued to focus on the Bills. Of course, that was a no-brainer during the "glory years" in the early 90's. It was hard not to start paying more attention to the Colts after they drafted Manning, and became "relevant". In fact, now that Manning is in Denver, I find myself paying more attention to the Broncos (although Luck is easy to root for, too). But I still am a "Bills' fan first-and-foremost" ... until they are "mathematically eliminated" from play-off contention ..... ;-( GO BILLS!
1B4IDie Posted September 3, 2014 Posted September 3, 2014 I live in Bethesda. I totally agree with your views on the Redskins and their fans. I love it when they lose. Baltimore is OK by me. But the only team that matters is the Bills. They are like a bad addiction that consumes you and is not good for your health-- but you are addicted so short of rehab there is nothing you can do. Going to Laughing Man on Sunday?
Captain Caveman Posted September 3, 2014 Posted September 3, 2014 (edited) I've been in NYC / NJ for the past 12 years, I'm mostly indifferent, but have found myself rooting for the Giants once they're in the playoffs. I can still dig up the Giants hatred whenever I see a clip of Super Bowl XXV tho'. Edited September 3, 2014 by Captain Caveman
Canadian Bills Fan Posted September 3, 2014 Posted September 3, 2014 Live in the Toronto area which I guess you can call the Buffalo area but if Toronto ever got an NFL team, I would hate them. The NFL is AMERICA'S game and has no place in Canada CBF
BuffOrange Posted September 3, 2014 Posted September 3, 2014 In Philly, apathetic. At first I didn't like them because I listened to the radio and heard how dumb their fans were. Lately I've wised up and stopped doing that, so I don't care. I do like Chip Kelly and like most of us, don't care for the other teams in the division. And it helps now that punks like Vick & DeSean are gone. So Fly Eagles I guess but I really don't care still.
Tampa Bob Posted September 3, 2014 Posted September 3, 2014 Get lost trader Nah...I think I will hang around.
voodoo poonani Posted September 3, 2014 Posted September 3, 2014 Chiefs country, it's a good day at work when we whoop their asses. I was at the game Gailey dropped 40+ on them. The stadium was empty after halftime. Last year they were gloating because their defense beat our 3rd string QB to stay undefeated.
DJasper Probincrux III Posted September 4, 2014 Posted September 4, 2014 Live in Philly. My sons like the Eagles but I could care less.
The Real Buffalo Joe Posted September 4, 2014 Posted September 4, 2014 What did he trade? His dignity. He's almost as bad as Dr. Trooth.

The stadium was empty after halftime. Last year they were gloating because their defense barely beat our 3rd string QB to stay undefeated. Fixed it.
Talley56 Posted September 4, 2014 Posted September 4, 2014 I dropped the bills to #2 in favor of tampa last year. I also dropped the yankees to #2. Dropping the Yankees was a great choice.
Nick the Greek Posted September 4, 2014 Posted September 4, 2014 I love when the NYC media starts to become suicidal when Giants/Jets start sucking
The Real Buffalo Joe Posted September 4, 2014 Posted September 4, 2014 Dropping the Yankees was a great choice. The Yankees were already number 2 in my book.
gumby Posted September 4, 2014 Posted September 4, 2014 Left Buffalo several years back for Vancouver, BC. Seahawks are big here but I don't really care about them. It was cool to be in an area that won a Superbowl and I was happy for my friends who finally got to see their team win the big one. CFL also big here and even though I don't watch the games just by being here you know which teams are good this year and which aren't.

Just to say I've been there.
Casey D Posted September 4, 2014 Posted September 4, 2014 Going to Laughing Man on Sunday? No, watching at home on the Ticket.
BfloBillsFan Posted September 4, 2014 Posted September 4, 2014 Lived in Detroit for 7 years before moving back to WNY. I wasn't at all a Lions fan before I moved there, even less of a Lions fan now. The only sports teams I ended up liking and following were the Tigers and MSU football (but not truly devoted to either). The other teams (Lions, Pistons, RedWings and UofM) I could care less about.
