5 Reasons for Buffalo Bills Fans to Be Grateful

For some reason, the Buffalo Bills tend to be looked down on and laughed at. However, Bills fans have it really good heading into 2012.

This slideshow shows why it benefits to be a Bills fan. There isn't much drama, and there aren't too many controversial guys.

So let the players play and the fans enjoy in 2012.

Here are the top reasons to enjoy being a Buffalo fan.

The Defensive Line

It's plain scary to have Marcell Dareus, Kyle Williams and Mario Williams on a defensive line. And when those three monsters are not sacking your quarterback, that is a wonderful thing.

The Bills have one of the best defensive lines in the NFL heading into 2012. There should be more quarterbacks hitting the ground and more turnovers, thanks to the big men who push the offense backwards.

A United Locker Room

There is very little trouble or drama in the Bills locker room. The players all get along and all believe in their quarterback.

Unlike the Jets, the Bills are united, and there are no divas ruining team chemistry. Believing in each other and trusting the man next to them can take the Bills far in 2012.

Buddy Nix

The Bills finally have a good football man running their roster. Nix has not only added talent to Buffalo, he has succeeded in keeping it there. His drafts are spot on and so much better than the what the Bills have had in recent memory. He and coach Chan Gailey get along great and are quickly turning Buffalo back into a playoff contender.

The Fanbase

Let's be honest. Bills fans have gone through a lot over the years. They have seen their team go to four consecutive Super Bowls and lose them all. They haven't seen a playoff appearance in over 10 years and have watched the Bills suffer by making horrible personnel decisions.

Yet they love their Bills.

The fans embrace the players and support the franchise no matter what. Fans love them whether they win or lose and even go out in blizzards to see the Bills play. The fans have longed to see a winner, and that might just happen in 2012. Rain or shine, win or lose, expect to see the passionate Bills fans support their team through it all.

The Hot Wings

Even if the Bills are getting blown out by an opponent or they are playing in a blizzard, there are always quality chicken wings to comfort fans. And what goes better than a football game, a few wings and some ice cold beverages? Bills fans have it good because they can get fantastic wings at several places and devour them while watching football. Now that's the life.
