wjag Posted January 19, 2021 Posted January 19, 2021 (edited) I also believe that we as hopeful football fans want to see the king toppled. This kid is too good, that team is too good and that organization is too good. If they can't be felled, then our (all other AFC fan bases) collective hopes for a superbowl diminish.

Success Posted January 19, 2021 Posted January 19, 2021 On their boards, the prevailing sentiment is a sort of glee about the possibility of the Bills making the SB - only to have their hopes & dreams crushed one last time by Brady. Just when I thought I couldn't possibly dislike a fanbase more.... 1

From the bruins to the Patriots to some of the people lol If you grew up in Boston and you are Bills fan for 30 years all aboard. If you were a Tom Brady bandwagoner and now you want off, the bills don't need you 1
Big Turk Posted January 19, 2021 Posted January 19, 2021 It's true...I checked out the Bills/Ravens thread on the Patriot Boards and most of the posters were rooting for the Bills. Apparently they think the Chiefs are too cocky and they don't want them going back to another SB and they think the Bills can beat the Chiefs, or at least have the best shot. They also really hate the Ravens or Ratbirds as they call them... Actually had some surprisingly knowledgeable posts about what was going on in the game and how the Bills were preventing Lamar from running 1

What would have made their heads explode is if he hadn't left the division. Imagine being a Patriots fan and having to face a Brady-led Jets team twice a year. They got the best of it. He leaves the conference which allows them to still root for him. They have no reason to want to see a division rival do well.
Pete Posted January 19, 2021 Author Posted January 19, 2021 OK a LAMP post. I moved in with my girlfriend to Massachusetts. Her family has deep roots being Boston fans. So she’s come around on Bills. She sings Shout song all day, and gets me going. She says she still will root for NE over Bills, but loves the Bills. So yesterday she says order me and you Bills shirts, and I’ll pay. Woohoo! I struck gold with my girl! 1

But the stuff I've read puts some inordinate emphasis on the Bills' hopes being crushed yet again. I mean, there's rivalry, and there is basic humanity. I guess I don't really get how anyone could wish that on us after what we've been through. Maybe if we win the division a few more years. 1

MarlinTheMagician Posted January 19, 2021 Posted January 19, 2021 I thought his video was great. Perhaps I am too easy, but for me - anyone who want to hop on the Bills train, well, ALL ABOARD!!

Matt_In_NH Posted January 19, 2021 Posted January 19, 2021 I live in NE and have had a lot of people say they are rooting for the Bills. Its funny, some root for and some are rooting against Brady. Bill-Packers SB is my order. 1
BRH Posted January 19, 2021 Posted January 19, 2021 (edited) I've actually seen some Jets fans rooting for us, at least those who live in WNY. Their counterpart Dolphins fans are another story. I think part of that is that we kept Miami and their precious Danny Boy from getting to the big one a few times, including the year we let them win the division but still beat them at their place in the AFC championship. The Jets have never really been good at the same time as the Bills (though they've been bad at the same time a lot), so their fans don't have the same acrimony towards us. Same goes for the few real Pats fans that exist: their team was irrelevant whenever the Bills were good. By the same token, there are a lot of older Chiefs fans who hate the Bills because of what we did to them in the playoffs in the '90s. Edited January 19, 2021 by BRH 1

It was nice seeing him toss his phone on the sidelines. Now I want them to beat Brady in the Super Bowl. After being dominated by him all of these years I want the Bills to beat Brady in the big game. 1 1

I have come across many, many ppl while in many different stores and what not the past couple weeks. I mean every single person said either Go Bills and they hope they win it all, or they deserve it, or asked if I have jumped through any tables yet. 1
