We are highly respected and considered a top fanbase and the name Bills Mafia looks bad to who? Old "get off my lawn!" guys who nobody wants to hear the opinion of. NFL players know #BillsMafia. 4 hours ago, Greg S said: What about Bryan Cox? He's family now. 1

I travel to Buffalo for a game or two a year and to an away game or two a year. Will definitely go to SanFran and Vegas games. Other than Steelers the Raiders fans seem to travel well to Bills games. No other team stands out as having a large presence in Ralph/New Era that I can recall. Pats fans used to come to Buffalo in droves. But I doubt that happens anymore no that Tawmmy and Grawnk jilted them. Giants fans make the trek once every 8 years.

JoPoy88 Posted May 26, 2020 Posted May 26, 2020 I give this kid Chris credit - he’s obviously trying hard with all these little videos. Maybe one will stick eventually.

RiotAct Posted May 27, 2020 Posted May 27, 2020 love the “Bills Mafia” moniker. Hope it never dies out.

I guess to us 100% Sicilian Italian American the word mafia has a truer meaning. You never spoke of it. If you wanted to stay healthy and keep all your teeth that is.

There is table jumping at every away game I've been at over the last few seasons. A main reason for going to away games is to bring the Orchard Park atmosphere to other cities. Bonus points if we can make them clutch their pearls. I'm not a huge fan of the nonsense, but it happens where ever BillsMafia shows up, and outsiders love us for it.

Niagara Bill Posted May 27, 2020 Posted May 27, 2020 I mention to a few people I was a member of the Bills Mafia. One guy asked if I could take this week's pizzo and hand it in to Bruno.

The word mafia (Italian: [ˈmaːfja]) derives from the Sicilian adjective mafiusu, which, roughly translated, means "swagger", but can also be translated as "boldness" or "bravado". So it's an Italian term that has grown larger and is now used to describe organized crime in other countries as well.
