We will all be cheering hard for the Buffalo Bills in 2017, but that doesn’t mean we won’t be watching teams outside the AFC East closely.

The 2017 version of the Buffalo Bills still have the talent on paper to make the playoffs. The usual AFC East roadblocks will be standing in their way, but they have other teams to watch in the standings.

For the team, their primary focus is and should be on their internal development. They have a new executive team and new coaching staff. The wins are important this year, but maybe not as much as building their base and culture for the future success of this franchise.

Outside of the AFC East, who is it that you will cheer against? Will it be the Dallas Cowboys, just because we all dislike the Cowboys? Will it be the Pittsburgh Steelers because they have had too much success and we are kind of bored with them? Or are you just a fan of punishment and want to see the Cleveland Browns lose because you find it amusing still?

Who will you be cheering for? Could you want to see EJ Manuel and Marshawn Lynch find success in Oakland? Or maybe just like cheering for the Falcons, because they have some cool uniforms?

I have thought long and hard, and narrowed the real teams in 2017 that all Bills fans should unify in cheering for and against (that aren’t in the AFC East) in 2017.

First, lets start with the #1 pick, the Kansas City Chiefs.
