marauderswr80 Posted January 13, 2009 Posted January 13, 2009 If Bills fans had to pick a team to cheer id have to say the Cards......a team that has loyal fans and have seen their fair share of crappy teams, finally they have a decent team making a run....
Flbillsfan#1 Posted January 13, 2009 Posted January 13, 2009 The Steelers play 3 hours from Buffalo. Have similar weather, have a city in decline, and have drunk tailgating fans. Wouldn't they be more like us than Philly? Drunk tailgating PASSIONATE fans & they are GOOD people unlike the A holes in Philly. Pitt. is MUCH MORE like Buffalo than Philly. GO STEELERS
nemhoff Posted January 13, 2009 Posted January 13, 2009 I am pulling for the Eagles as well, but really because I love McNabb (the Cuse) and think that Andy Reid is a very good and undervalued coach. Â Would love to have either of them in the Bills franchise
Philly McButterpants Posted January 13, 2009 Posted January 13, 2009 Reason to root against the Eagles: The Phillies just won. Can you imagine if Philadelphia becomes the new Boston?  At least there's no mornic accent . . .  As for someone to root for, my rule is always to root for an original AFC Team (except last year). But that's out the window this year. Pittsburgh is an NFC convert from the merger as are the Cleveland Browns/Baltimore Ravens . . .  Soooo, I guess I'll root for Arizona cuz I like their receivers and Warner . . . I could be talked into rooting for Baltimore . . . . I guess the good news is that I can drink heavily on SB Sunday cuz I have no vested interest in the outcome.

Both cities are the mistake by the lake, both climates suck, both economies suck & both of the franchises probably will not sniff the lombardi trophy in any of our lifetimes. With that being said, I kinda like to see Arizona win it.
May Day 10 Posted January 13, 2009 Posted January 13, 2009 i work in Philly and they really arent good fans. The majority I talk to really have little knowledge of football. they dont pay attention to much other than the Eagles, and only if they are winning. They start to lose and the bandwagon drains off quickly (if you think 2bd is bad. Its the same way with the Flyers. People here just dont stick with their teams when it is going bad with the exception of the Phillies. Â I think a lot of good fans were priced out when the moved to the linc. Â Â I dont think they have anything in common with Buffalo fans. Trust me, they dont deserve a super bowl.
Captain Quint Posted January 13, 2009 Posted January 13, 2009 Honestly, I look at the 4 teams that are left, and I could root for any of them on any given day (except if they're playing the Bills). They are 4 teams that have worked hard all season and haven't been in the ESPN limelight like the Giants, Jets, Pats, Dolphins, or Cowboys. Â It makes me smile that ESPN is probably hating the fact that markets like Baltimore, Philly (big, but still blue collar), Pittsburgh, and AZ are in it and the above (whom have eaten up most of the time on Sportcenter this year) aren't. Not sure how I feel about the Phoenix market or fanbase yet, but at least it isn't New York, Boston, Miami, or Dallas.

They are as loyal as they come, and I went to 20+ games at the Vet and spent many of times in the Philly area for years, before you get on me that I am not from there. Â I do agree with you about the Linc however, it did price out the animal fans a bit.
Arkady Renko Posted January 13, 2009 Posted January 13, 2009 Perhaps Bills fans should not root for teams that once played elsewhere (Ravens, Cardinals). They also should not root for a team that occupies the field of "best fans" and "blue collar" (Steelers). Further, Bills fans should not root for a city with A-holes (Eagles) and fans who think that somehow getting to a bunch of NFC championships and losing =s what the Bills accomplished (Eagles). Â Sorry, there's no team to root for. Â But I will root for the Ravens. All my relatives are from Maryland (my father actually moved to upstate NY and since I was just 2 when the Colts moved, I picked the Bills as my team).
BuckyFillUps Posted January 13, 2009 Posted January 13, 2009 gotta go cards here. love boldin. he's a rich man's Steve Johnson.
Lv-Bills Posted January 13, 2009 Posted January 13, 2009 Shouldn't we be rooting for the Cardinals because ummm.....well......they kinda suck too, just like us? Well, except not quite as bad as us anymore? Or, something like that? Â Go Cards, they are fun to watch.
Adam Posted January 13, 2009 Posted January 13, 2009 I hate the Cards more than I hate the fish or the squeelers. I hope its at least another 10 years before I have to see them in the playoffs again.
lets_go_bills Posted January 13, 2009 Posted January 13, 2009 When watching playoff football and if the Bills aren't in it, I root for two things: Â 1. For the teams I hate (Fins, Jets, Pats, Browns, Jags, Titans, Broncos, Raiders, Cowboys, Giants, Bears, Bucs, Cards, and Niners) to all lose. Â 2. And for good, competitive, quality football. Â I enjoy the playoffs because I always find the games fun to watch. To be honest, I usually root for the Colts in the playoffs because I really enjoy watching them play.
C.Biscuit97 Posted January 13, 2009 Posted January 13, 2009 Screw that. They're a bunch of idiots and I hope McNabb leaves them to got a time that actually appreciates how great of a player he is. Â Go Cards!

lynchneedsfood Posted January 13, 2009 Posted January 13, 2009 I've never been to arizona, but my best friend is from there so sorry philly, but I'm definitely rooting for the cardinals... I won't care who wins though, as I would like to see Donovan finally put the icing on the cake and win a big game.
Picnic Table F'er Posted January 13, 2009 Posted January 13, 2009 How could you not want McNabb to win? Syracuse.
Buffalo_soul-dier Posted January 13, 2009 Posted January 13, 2009 1) screw the ravens ie screw mcgahee 2) eagles fans are pieces of sh*t 3) cardinals i feel for...but until we win one i dont want them winning anything 4) guess im rooting for the steelers!
