Rubes Posted September 12, 2015 Posted September 12, 2015 New England fans already talking about how they are going to kick Buffalo in the nuts. After the colts beat the crap out of us Hey, it could happen. By the way, anybody know how Gronk has performed against Rex defenses? I'm boarding a plane and can't easily check.
filthymcnasty08 Posted September 12, 2015 Posted September 12, 2015 The Colts better look out for that Bryce Paup guy coming off the edge!
Chuck Wagon Posted September 12, 2015 Posted September 12, 2015 The radio guys here in Columbus talk about the Bills a fair amount, but it's always things like "Sure they got McCoy but who is the QB, yeah they resigned Dareus but what's the point without a QB"? Then with the Browns they'll say "why draft a QB until you've got a full team"? They did pick the Bills to win a wildcard.
Augie Posted September 12, 2015 Posted September 12, 2015 The general fan population has zero clue. The media is paying attention, but I wonder how much is talent based and how much is the "Rex Effect"? All I know is this: the more TV folks pick us against the Colts, the more nervous I get!
OCinBuffalo Posted September 12, 2015 Posted September 12, 2015 No look post: Isn't the title of this thread the fundamental premise of this site?
jethro_tull Posted September 12, 2015 Posted September 12, 2015 chicago area football fans are very knowledgeable about the rest of the league. many know more about the Bills than do many Bills fans.
CountryCletus Posted September 12, 2015 Posted September 12, 2015 I live in NWPA and a guy at work said- Buffalo needs a better QB than Manuel and their coach sucks... Just to bait him and show his incompetence, I said "you don't like Marrone" he said, "no, he's a fool" I laughed and said "that was $4M well spent" and he thought I was talking about his salary.... I had to educate him on our QB and coach.... He shrugged and said "you guys might be okay..." Freaking retards
PromoTheRobot Posted September 12, 2015 Author Posted September 12, 2015 Are you saying he's a Bills fan outside of WNY or a football fan outside of WNY and doesn't know about the Bills? Football fan..Pats fan actually. Not a Bills fan.
BuffaloBill Posted September 12, 2015 Posted September 12, 2015 Why would they? The Bills have been irrelevant for years. Except to all of us of course. This is the truth. I am amazed at the number of people outside of WNY know many details about the Superbowl era Bills. The knowledge then rightfully drops into the abyss after the Music City lateral. He'll even as Bills fans we would really like to simply erase the last fourteen years from memory. Why would we think anyone else outside of WNY would care about the Bills of this time period? Keep in mind for much of this era our most beloved and favorite player was a punter. Moorman was a great guy and a good player. Face it if much of what you have to cheer about on a Sunday is your punter that is sad.
NoSaint Posted September 12, 2015 Posted September 12, 2015 Football fan..Pats fan actually. Not a Bills fan. If we took a survey going into the stadium last home preseason game, what percentage of bills fans could've named the jets starting qb? Heck, I bet a good number would miss the Dolphins starters name. If your not DIE HARD and/or big into fantasy football, most nfl fans can't name everybody, they just enjoy the game on Sunday.
sistersarah Posted September 12, 2015 Posted September 12, 2015 My favorite is when folks say the Bills should spend money on a QB and I wonder how do we get said QB. Easier said then done.
machine gun kelly Posted September 12, 2015 Posted September 12, 2015 PTR- I'm now used to it in FL. So many people do not know the Bills, but then again, those that do know our team, know football. I make sure my friends know a lot about the Bills, because I tell them about it. The cool thing in Tampa is there is a lot of Buffalo transplants here in this area. There is a cool buffalo bar in Largo. Pics of Jimmy Griffin, and the Steel plant. These days I watch the game at home with my boys with the ticket. Besides, last year was the only year did not have the ticket, and went to the Tilted Kilt for the games. I hated it as a bunch of morons who know nothing about the Bills spouting off about them. 19-0 Baby!!!
H2o Posted September 12, 2015 Posted September 12, 2015 I have talked to people recently who still thought Fred Jackson was our starting RB and didn't know we traded for McCoy.
JeebusCrust Posted September 12, 2015 Posted September 12, 2015 Try living in Texas, I live about 2hrs from Dallas, have come across only one other Bills fan in the area. Cowboy fans rank right up there with Patriot** fans when it comes to general knowledge of the NFL. The only thing anyone around here has been able to say about the Bills is the Cowboys beat them in the Superbowl
CodeMonkey Posted September 12, 2015 Posted September 12, 2015 Football fan..Pats fan actually. Not a Bills fan. Then pity him. He was almost certainly an abused child.
TheFunPolice Posted September 12, 2015 Posted September 12, 2015 Terry just wins in everything he does. Expect good things. There are great people in charge at all the key positions in this organization now. Don't forget this is the Pegula's first full year as owners. The tide is about to change for both teams in a BIG way! To the out of town point though, I was watching a couple of sports guys from NYC discuss Rex and how he will totally flop with the Bills. They basically said we were falling for his shtick but he couldn't manage games, has unprepared teams, and will ultimately fail. They then went on to mock Greg Roman, saying he had no clue how to run an offense. They actually started laughing at the idea that Greg Roman would be the OC, as if it was so out of left field. That told me that they had no freaking clue what they were talking about.
Eyeball Posted September 12, 2015 Posted September 12, 2015 Real Football fans know there's talent on this team... Go Bills, Halifax, NS Canada!!!
TheFunPolice Posted September 12, 2015 Posted September 12, 2015 The Bills just have to go prove it. As soon as they get to something like 8-4 or better ESPN, NFL Network, PFT, etc.will be all over them, especially with Rex as HC. The underdog making good is a story sportswriters dream of, and there is no better example than the Bills!
BUFFALOKIE Posted September 12, 2015 Posted September 12, 2015 (edited) I am actually quite surprised at the general knowledge of the Buffalo Bills here in Oklahoma. Although no one else at my job is a Bills fan, I get plenty of pats on the back for my loyalty, and good wishes for my team. I have a great group of guys in my fantasy league who are all very knowledgeable on all the teams. College football rules here, but NFL fans here (of all teams), are pretty doggone educated.

Kelly the Dog Posted September 12, 2015 Posted September 12, 2015 Maybe people you talk to are just sick of listening to your pollyannish talk about them for 15 straight years.
