It's just that the city limits of Jacksonville are much larger - the population density of Jacksonville is much lower than Buffalo's. When you compare metro areas, you are correct, Buffalo and Jacksonville are much closer. 1

Some places, like GA, have tiny counties, and that makes a huge difference. 1

When you compare metro areas, you are correct, Buffalo and Jacksonville are much closer. They incorporated all of Duval County. The city itself isn’t that large. If buffalo did something similar and incorporated Erie county, it would have a population of nearly 1 million. Edited August 21, 2018 by joesixpack 1
Augie Posted August 21, 2018 Posted August 21, 2018 (edited) When we lived in Hilton Head, I banked a guy who was starting an insurance business. He kids to this day that I rolled over the same 90 day note to buy his $3k copy machine a world record number of times. I knew he’d make it....but I didn’t know he’d KILL IT. Last trip to Jax we sat in his seats where for $380+ you are outside, but have full access to the free food and bar indoors. He had four of those, plus four adjacent right outside the “zone”. Not just burgers and dogs, but sautéed sea bass and other fine pleasures. It was a crazy great day. . Edited August 21, 2018 by Augie

In case I ever do, there’s some good info in this thread, thanks. Funny story, the bar that I watched games at when I first moved to New Orleans had a handful of Jags fans. I found it totally fascinating. I became friends with them a few months later. It turns out it was Jack Del Rio’s daughter, husband (now ex) and his best friend. It’s like the only Jags fans I met don’t even count.
The Process Posted August 21, 2018 Posted August 21, 2018 Jag fans can join the list of fair-weather fans.. Atlanta, Charlotte, and if you are old enough to remember..... Pats fans. 1
Kirby Jackson Posted August 21, 2018 Posted August 21, 2018 That weekend was like those teen movies where those “try hard” high school kids throw a party when their parents go out-of-town. They do it to try to impress the cool kids and the prom queen. This was their big chance to fit in. The cool kids showed up, pissed on the floor, broke their grandmother’s antique vase, started a massive fire and left with the prom queen. 1

Funny considering their quarterback is Blake friggin Bottles, and theyve been a joke since the MJD era. Do we have a new Florida rivalry brewing? You bought a Dodge?

They're still reeling from the aftershock.

You can get 200k without an issue. Would be more if it weren't for the salt
Nick the Greek Posted August 21, 2018 Posted August 21, 2018 Ideas of what could be driving the rivalry: 1) They got our old coaches (Marrone/Hackett). 2) playoff battle last season. 3) Both AFC teams so we play each other often (I’d say at least once every 2 years). 4) both smaller market teams so we are similar sized franchises. We are comparable so that something that could cause competition. 5) they got out disgruntled D-lineman Marcel Darius.
Kirby Jackson Posted August 21, 2018 Posted August 21, 2018 I keep saying it but this “rivalry” has literally EVERYTHING to do with the way that the Bills fans acted. We were everywhere and not behaved. There were people peeing in the streets. I saw a guy just jump through some random person’s cooler. I saw a table (half of one) thrown at a woman. That isn’t even including the fire after the game. It was the top story on the Jacksonville news the next day. There is no other reason.

Leading up to the game it was so incredibly impressive. The entire city was Bills fans. Once the drinking picked up and after the frustrating loss it was bad. I’m not even a little surprised that they don’t like us.

Funny considering their quarterback is Blake friggin Bottles, and theyve been a joke since the MJD era. Do we have a new Florida rivalry brewing? We're basically the same team. And they're better in every way so far. Add our jags castoffs (quite a few), the playoff game, and why not get into it with your rival emerging small market team? Iss fun We also have seemed to have a played each other a LOT the past couple of years. Pretty well matched every time.
