Rayzer32 Posted September 16, 2004 Posted September 16, 2004 To start off let my explain my personal backround. I am married with 4 daughters. My wife is from Boston and is a huge Blosox, Bruins and Pats fan. That alone is a dilemma in itself but I put her in her place. Here is the problem I have coming up. Her brothers and a few of their friends, who are all Pats fans, are staying at our house the weekend of the game. They have 6 tickets to the Bills/Pats and invited me to take one of the tickets and join them if I wanted to. They purchased the tickets from a broker in Boston, so I assume the whole section they are in may be mostly Pats fans. Do I go and take the abuse, especially seeing how it is unlikely we win the game. Or, do I stay home with my regular bunch of Bills buddies and do our usual go to one of our houses for the game, get trashed and call it a day. I will be attending a Bills game later in the season with Bills fans so it's not the only chance I will have to be at the Ralph this year. Don't know what to do. Pats fans and their goofy accents can be extremely annoying if they are winning in our house. Please help me.
BillsFanNC Posted September 16, 2004 Posted September 16, 2004 Definitely go to the game. You'll have 70,000 strong backing you up and besides, winning that game won't be as big of a longshot as you might think.
cåblelady Posted September 16, 2004 Posted September 16, 2004 If we beat Oakland.......go to the game. If we lose........stay home.
MadBuffaloDisease Posted September 16, 2004 Posted September 16, 2004 Go. It's just a section of Pats fans. The majority of the stadium will be Bills fans.
Beerball Posted September 16, 2004 Posted September 16, 2004 Go, just make sure you are decked out in your Bills finest. Don't want to be mistake for a pats fan. Make sure they buy you plenty of beer. It's the least they can do for you. You are going above and beyond letting them stay at your house. Might as well get something for it.
sfladave Posted September 16, 2004 Posted September 16, 2004 Rayzer...shame on you for even asking that question. I'm stuck here in South Florida and I WISH I could goto that game under any circumstances!!! Go and wear your Bills colors with pride, and hopefully you'll be able to say, "See I told you the Bills would kick their ass!".

Rayzer32 Posted September 16, 2004 Author Posted September 16, 2004 When I find out where the seats are I will post, that way some of you guys can come make sure they didn't blanket party me. Or just come over and raz some Pats fans and let them know all us Bills fans stick together.
MattyT Posted September 16, 2004 Posted September 16, 2004 Go. They'll have their fun but in the end respect you more for going.
Rubes Posted September 16, 2004 Posted September 16, 2004 Dude, just imagine how incredibly satisfying it would be if the Bills pull it out. If they don't, well hey, nobody was really expecting it, right?
millbank Posted September 16, 2004 Posted September 16, 2004 all above advice is excellent, the beer buying, being decked out in Bills finest, also take seat that is on outer edge of group so you can worst case senario not know any of them.
nhbillsfan Posted September 16, 2004 Posted September 16, 2004 Hey, I've got that goofy accent but i hate the gaytriots. How do you think i feel? I'm living in the middle of it. Just ask them when they get there, " Is Tom Brady going to be the only active player to be voted into the Hall Of Fame?" If you live around here they think it. Go and be loud and proud. Everyone likes a winner, staying by your team builds character. (wins are nice too though)
#89 Posted September 16, 2004 Posted September 16, 2004 GAME ON You can always stay home. Nothing like the stadium.

njsue Posted September 17, 2004 Posted September 17, 2004 Why pass up a time to see MARSHA get beat again!
BILLS4LIFE Posted September 17, 2004 Posted September 17, 2004 The games in OUR house,you got 70,000 some plus Bills fans all around you...how could you NOT go? Just wear all your Bills gear and stand up proud! B)
aussiew Posted September 17, 2004 Posted September 17, 2004 The games in OUR house,you got 70,000 some plus Bills fans all around you...how could you NOT go? Just wear all your Bills gear and stand up proud! Agreed. Win or lose. Be proud to be a Bills fan.
Spun Posted September 17, 2004 Posted September 17, 2004 Honestly, I would find a way to be around only Bills fans. I would be tempted to haul off on one of them and that would not be good for all involved. I don't like watching games with opposing fans. I can do well at keeping my mouth in check. I don't like being taunted so I don't taunt. But can you imagine a bunch of Pats fans in a sea of Bills-dom without the taunts going both ways. This is especially true once the alcohol has reached the over-indulgence level. It would not be good for me unless the Bills win. But you know yourself and your " Patriots side of the family". It is the Ralph. You will have friends. I think the invaders from bean town may have much more to worry about then you, win or lose. Putting yourself at the end of the row while wearing your Bills colors is very good advice!!!
