I rattled off 4 of them. He didn't talk too much **** in front of me again. I was satisfied. Just my experience, but there are just d-bags everywhere. Buffalo Bills fans are not excluded from this phenomenon. I’ve been to away games in Miami, Charlotte, New England, San Diego, and Seattle. While there are differences between places, I have found that 98% of opposing fans are generally kind and respectful. There’s the occasional good natured ribbing, but that’s part of the game day experience for a visiting fan. Then of course you have the 1-2% who are idiots. You’ll have that anywhere. I will say, however, that the ones with the loudest mouths are typically the ones who are the least knowledgable about their team. I can’t prove it...I just know it to be a fact ? 1

I think you are too decent of a guy to have done that. (But I wouldn’t blame you!) 1
MJS Posted August 26, 2018 Posted August 26, 2018 I couldn't do it for the Pats, but I think that's a function of my age. I'm only in my twenties, so I don't remember much before Brady. But I could name a ton of players from the Bills. I love going back and watching highlights from the Superbowl years and from the 60's teams. 1

Not everyone is hardcore like you and we are on boards like this. Casual fans should be able to name the offensive coordinator. Esp when his name is in almost every article about the rookie qb. Also have you been to a bills game? Every fan there claims to be hardcore.

Off the top of my head. Not sure about Troy Brown? Kevin Faulk? Off the top of my head I can tell you Bledsoe, Ty Law were with Brady after he took over and when he won a Super Bowl and as a Bills fan you sholud recall Milloy cam over to the Bills the year after the Pats won the first Super Bowl. Troy Brown and Faulk both won multiple SBs with Brady, I dont even know Robert Edwards.

Troy Brown and Faulk both won multiple SBs with Brady, I dont even know Robert Edwards. All true. But they were also all in New England before the Brady era begun which I believe satisfies the original question. I can't think of any Patriots earlier than the Bledsoe/Martin/Parcells super bowl team. Keep in mind I didn't even start following football and the Bills till 1990.
Big Turk Posted August 26, 2018 Author Posted August 26, 2018 (edited) Surprised nobody mentioned Andre Tippett, Ronnie Lippett, John Stephens, Maurice Hurst, Hart Lee Dykes, and Irving Fryar...and of course who could forget Hugh Millen?? Lippett and Hurst really terrorized Kelly throughout his career, picking off quite a few passes if memory serves correctly...most ganes were a struggle against the Pats even when they sucked. We came out on top most of the time but there were a lot of 9-6 and 17-13 type games in there Edited August 26, 2018 by matter2003

I wore a Bills shirt around the city and got about 15 "Go Bills" from people I walked by that day. The only heckling I got was from the owner of an Italian restaurant, and even that was good natured and not mean spirited. It left me thinking that there are a lot of closet Bills fans in Boston. We'll be at full capacity at the Harp for opening day, 300-plus.
