Loyal Fans

Our fan base is loyal. They are passionate. They are not going to just fold on this team like a folding table underneath the weight of a Bills fan in the parking lot before home games. The fans that are outraged, are outraged because they care, because they love this team, because they love this city.

They want nothing more than the Bills to be successful and when they aren’t it hurts. It hurts so bad you want to break a folding table before you realize that you already did that before the game and so you now have no table left to break after a loss.

More than other fanbases, Bills fans know who their backup lineman are, their practice squad players, and they welcome free agents to the city of Buffalo with a fury of kindness and positive tweets. They tweet at and talk about former players who are long gone like their family. Because they are.

Players who spend time in Buffalo understand the bond between the population and the players. Once a Buffalo Bills player, always a Buffalo Bills player. Those are the type of fans I am proud to root alongside and the Bills have some of the best fans in the league.

That’s what I love about this fanbase and that’s one of the things I love about this team. If that was too positive for you I’ll mention on the downside, despite Bills fans nearly undefeated record versus folding tables, Bills fans are 0-1 lifetime against dizzy bats. We’ll get there one day.
