I think it's a little different with the Bills though. The Jets are a similar kind of team in terms of futility, but I don't think I would pull for them in the playoffs (unless playing the Steelers/Ravens). I didn't like the Jets in the Mark Sanchez playoff runs. The Bills just seem like a decent franchise. Wouldn't it be nice to see those guys win it all type of vibe. 

Obviously I would rather see us win, but yeah 'if not us, then them'. I genuinely get the feeling Bills fans feel similarly about us. Heck of a bromance.

It also helps that the Bills have a class act at Quarterback and their coaching staff, just like we do. Allen is easy to root for.

I was up there for months and stayed at a really cool motor inn, and I would go into their bar and watch football on Sundays. It was Bills country up there big time. They were all Bills fans, and when I told them I was a Bengal fan everyone was really cool about the Bengals and super nice in general. I had a great time with those Bills fans that year. They were my football watching partners and gave me some great memories. I've liked and respected the Bills since then to be honest. When we beat the Ravens and helped them to the playoff a few years back, it was a sweet thing and of course I thought of all those Bills fans in the mountains of northern PA. Good times. The Bengals and Bills are a lot alike.

I became a Bills fan(2nd to only the bengals of course) in 1996 as well.  Ever since me and a buddy decided on the spur of the moment to drive from college up to orchard park for the bengals at bills game.  WHile I was rooting for the bengals(,they lost) a respect for the bills was just beginning to blossom

It started a tradition that went on for 5-6 years of getting a big group and driving to buffalo from cleveland to see at least one bills game a season.  ANd that respect for the team only grew once I met my wife(now ex wife) and her family who were all from buffalo.  ANd while we are no longer married, we are still best friends and I still consoider her family my second family.  All of us even went up to detroit to see the bills on thanksgiving this year as well.  

So yeah, its safe to say that the bills are easily my second favorite team but when it comes to head to head, im still a bengals fan all the way

I just want to say thank you from the bottom of my heart, just like most Bengals fans we love our NFL team so much, they are part of who we are. Your team, community, and fans have set such an example for the world to see on how to be caring, compassionate, classy decent Human beings. I wish all you nothing but the best moving forward.

Prayers being sent to Tee Higgins as well from Bills Mafia. This is a young man that needs love and support at this time.

Bills / Bengals will forever be intertwined moving forward, and this is a great thing. I hope other fans and teams take notice.

Ya man!  I have lived in the Southern Tier of NY for 21 years now.  Originally from Cincy.  Whenever Cincy and Bills have different game times I go to my friends house and root for the Bills with him.

Prayers for Hamlin!
