Im old enough to remember OJ Simpson running a muck through the Jets, but given the Jets were a joke in the 70s I didn’t really care. Same deal with the Kelly/Levy era. It seems like when the Jets are up the Bills are down and vice versa with a lot of instances of both teams being bad sprinkled in. Jets most hated rivals: 1) Dolphins 2) Pats 3) Raiders 4) Colts 5) Giants I don't. I hate everyone equally

How can you hate someone from Buffalo? hang around this portal for 2 weeks...or read the 57 pages of posts when a fan-favorite long-shot player invariably gets cut after 1 season...or stop by after a loss to the Jets on Monday after the game
Kirby Jackson Posted June 20, 2020 Posted June 20, 2020 I hate certain fans more than teams. Obviously I hate EVERYTHING about New England. Because I live in New Orleans, Saints fans annoy me more than Dolphins fans (for example). I’m just surrounded by them. Additionally, we see a lot of different fan bases come through as a destination city. You learn stuff like 49ers fans are OBNOXIOUS. I’m so removed from them I’d never know that. A lot of it ends up your personal experience. 1 1
SinceThe70s Posted June 20, 2020 Posted June 20, 2020 I live amongst Jets and Giants fans so my (sports fan) hatred runs deeper for the Jets than the Patriots. If you know the joke, Pats-Jets games have been like choosing between death and boola-boola for me but my Jets hatred runs deeper when there's nothing for the Bills to gain.

Jets most hated rivals: 1) Dolphins 2) Pats 3) Raiders 4) Colts 5) Giants It's ridiculous to consider Miami a hated rival of the Bills in the year 2020. They absolutely were, for a very long time, a long time ago. That rivalry has been straight up dead for quite some time now. Jets are too incompetent to be thought of as a rival by me at least. New England? Yes, definitely. Can't really think of anyone else. The Bills organization has been too irrelevant for too long to be creating much in the way of rivalries. Luckily, that's changing now.

My GF grew up a NE “fan” she’s coming around and becoming more tolerable. We use the pats blanket to line the dog crate Bills flag hanging from our house. 1
corta765 Posted June 21, 2020 Posted June 21, 2020 So Jets didn’t bother me a ton until college. Went to Oswego and met their NYC fans and ever since then I have hated the Jets. This was also when they got Farve then Sanchez and we’re decent and they wouldn’t stop running their mouths. That said I like Darnold and him vs Allen for a decade plus will be cool if all goes well

I'd have hated the Pats regardless, but being in the thick of it for soooo long is just unbearable. It's in your face daily.

There is so much recency bias in your statements it’s cringe worthy. Just because a particular matchup hasn’t had meaning in years doesn’t take away from the history of the rivalry. When was the last time Cowboys/Redskins mattered?
Not at the table Karlos Posted June 21, 2020 Posted June 21, 2020 On the field pats* and dolphins are bigger rivals but in terms of fans the jets fans are close to patriots* fans when in buffalo. Had a great experience outside of a couple people when at MetLife
tcampbell104 Posted June 21, 2020 Posted June 21, 2020 if the rivalry between between allen and darnold really happens they will.
