Which AFC East team do you like?

[PatsDeb]

Hate 'em all, I guess Buffalo the least, but only because they stink. I am an unabashed homer and never really cheer for any NFL team but the Pats. While I enjoy watching some other teams and find them interesting, I never get depressed after anyone loses except the Pats. Come to think of it, the only time I actively cheer for another team to win is when it has something to do with the Pats (i.e. if X team wins, it will get us a bye or put us into the playoffs).

Hate them all. Hate the Bills the least just because they have been irrelevant the last decade especially when it comes to head to head battles with the Pats.

i dislike the Bills because, as a franchise, they represent all that is wrong in the NFL today (emphasis on today, because they have been an important part of the league's history).

they take money from the successful teams but do nothing meaningful to market their brand and refuse to sell naming rights to their stadium, driving people like Kraft and Jones crazy. Despite a dedicated fan base, they spend more energy flirting with Toronto than addressing these underlying concerns. they've had some very good teams in the past, including the Levy/Kelly team that went to four straight SB's but, like their owner, their best days are fast fading in the rear view mirror. they could use new leadership or a new venue that is probably not Toronto.

I live in New York and have to deal with the raving lunatics that the Jets call their fans and I can't get into the Dolphins, so I guess "none of the above" is my answer.

I've managed to muster up enough hate to cover all 3 teams.

On this note, who do the Jets cheer for this weekend, the Pats or the Dolphins? I would say the Pats, because at least they have a chance to split with us (and maybe [choke] to beat us twice) and win a tie breaker, but they have no such chance on a tie breaker with Miami. On the other hand, a Pats win will put them way up in the division on everybody. Tough choice for the Jets.

Perhaps it is a dumb question, but my 11 yr old nephew who is now starting to really follow football, actually likes the Jets after the Pats. I dont know what I can do to make him hate them like I do.

he is only 11, he will understand when he gets older

 

[PatsFan24]

i like ronnie brown jason taylor and even ricky williams. i even like the orange jerseys they wear on MNF. i just hate joey porter so much i have to root against the dolphins as much as i do the jets and bills

 

[farn]

I like Brown, I like Izzo, I like Evans.

I like SOME of each team. But I love beating them.

 

[Patriot 37]

It's hard to hate the Bills they never beat us. Plus I feel sorry for them the City of Buffalo is seroius dump, it's the worst NFL city I've been to (never been to Oak or Det).

He's got a man-crush on Sanchez :cry2:

I have had a soft spot for the Bills for years...they just seemed to always be on the verge of getting their act together and putting a good team on field before it blows up in their face. They play tough but always find a way to lose.

I just can't hate them like I do the Dolphins and Jets.

 

[dusky]

It probably would have been the Bills but I'm still holding a grudge from 1999 when they benched Doug Flutie for the playoffs after he got them them into the playoffs.

You could if they beat us. I remember when they shut us out in Week 1 2003. The hate for them reached epic levels. It has since softened because we exacted our revenge on them and they have yet to beat us since. But, trust me, if they start beating us again, the hate will resume. I don't think I have to tell you that Bills fans don't have a "soft spot" in their hearts for the Pats.

 

[PatriotsInGA]

The Bills. Except for a couple of games, they've basically just laid down against us since 2002.

 

[ALP]

ill take the bills b/c they are so lethargic and we beat them so often, it dosent mean anything

i dont like the phins

and i abhore the jets

 

[PatsWickedPissah]

Way, way back in the 60s the AFL Bills were good and would lay a hurt on the Pats but I respected them rather than hating them. All the NY centric hype around Joe Namath made me hate the Jets but somehow I overcame that hate to root for Namath and the Jets against the Colts in SB III. THAT was a great game.

Flash forward (note to self, that would make a good TV series) to the 90s and the Bills dominated the AFC but strangely enough the inept Pats would win a game or two against that juggernaught. Go figure. I rooted for the Bills bigtime in the SB vs the Giants, not knowing that BB the Jints DC would be our saviour. Alas, wide right, and Belichick's rep grew.

Bills are a touchstone to the wayback years for me.
