I'm not asking if you are going to get a Mario Williams jersey and openly root for the Bills, but I am wondering if anyone is kind of hoping they are decent and ultimately make the playoffs or even eventually win a Super Bowl (at no expense to the Pats, that is.)
I mean, we have all put up with Rex's amusing bluster and laughed at his failures while with the Jets, but how great would it be to see the Jets let another one go? I think many teams let go of their coaches too soon and Rex had no business being fired for a complete lack of talent and support. Their problems were never about player motivation, gameplanning, other coaching intangibles.
Already, their greatest successor coach in history has gone to their biggest rival and won FOUR Super Bowls, they watched TWO former coaches square off this year, their greatest player in franchise history has gone to their biggest rival and won a Super Bowl in his first year, they barely missed on trading for Brett Favre in the early nineties, and there are dozens of other gaffes that have caused the fans to be the conniving, mindless chumps that they are today.
So, let's suppose the Patriots are out of the hunt in a given year and the Bills are still standing. Are you at least somewhat rooting for them?
I'm sure many will say that you can hate both the Bills and Jets, which is true, but let's face it, the Jets deserve the brunt of our collective fan hatred, and there would be nothing worse at this moment than them watching Rex win with a division rival (nothing worse, that is, than living in the day-to-day apocalyptic, haunting reality as they suffer in the dark shadow of the Patriots' championship reign.)
