10 Struggles Every Buffalo Fan Goes Through

Being a Buffalo Bills fan comes with a lot of struggles. Through the ups and downs, we still stand by our team even if they continue to make us buy lots of alcohol and drink the pain away.

Here're 10 struggles every Buffalo Bills fan encounters at some point in their lives.

1. Hearing the "Wide Right" joke 100 times.

Keep cracking those (lame) jokes, but Scott Norwood is still a hero to every person in the city of Buffalo.

2. You keep telling everyone that the team is still in the "rebuilding process."

It feels like Buffalo fans have been telling everyone for the last decade that we're still rebuilding. Truthfully, that's what we tell ourselves at night so we can sleep.

3. Hearing that Buffalo sucks because of the weather.

If you can't handle the cold, then Buffalo might not be the place for you. There's a specific breed that can handle the negative temperatures and the giant piles of snow — their called Buffalonians.

4. The only way to attend a playoff game is to see other teams play.

Seeing other teams play can be a bummer, but bringing Bills Mafia to different places is always exciting.

5. When people tell you Zubaz pants aren't actually pants.

Don't let those haters bring you down, keep rocking those Zubaz out in public.

6. Actually sobbing when Freddy Jackson got released.

The city of Buffalo was devastated when the news broke about Freddy being released.

He was a fan favorite, a good teammate, and a great role model.

Thank you, Freddy Jackson, we miss you.

7. Getting blamed for Kim Kardashian's fame.

You think going to the Superbowl four times in a row and losing all of them would be enough, but now we also have to be connected to Kim Kardashian in some way. We have enough to drink about, we don't need this problem in our life.

8. Having to deal with a new quarterback every year.

The Buffalo Bills quarterback position has been like a revolving door since Jim Kelly. Every couple years we've acquired a new quarterback who still doesn't lead us to the playoffs. It's OK, we're still "Bill"-eving.

9. Getting made fun of because we're the drunkest fans in the NFL.

You'd be drinking, too if your team didn't make it to the playoffs for 16 years straight.

10. Nervous about getting moved to a different city, but not anymore!

Suck it, Bon Jovi!

We are staying right here in Western New York, thanks to the Pegula family!

Out of the struggles every Buffalo fan goes through, it's all worth it in the end.

Let's go, Buffalo!

Tiana would no doubt be disappointed in the food our cafeteria has to offer.

And hopefully she would cook for everyone in her dorm.

She definitley would not take any 8:00 am classes because she would be up late baking and cleaning up the communal kitchen that are available in every dorm.

The dynamics of any friend group are usually determined by the personalities which make it up. Chances are, while personalities may overlap, each person in your friend group holds his or her own place. It is the differences which bring the groups together and keep them functioning.
