Brady Commends Bills Mafia’s Unwavering Support…
Former NFL quarterback Tom Brady, who was once the most reviled figure in Buffalo for two decades, still holds a strong claim to that notoriety. During his remarkable 20-year stint with the New England Patriots, Brady achieved an astonishing 32-3 record against the Bills, who faced numerous struggles during that period.
Bills fans had hoped to escape Brady’s domination when he joined the Tampa Bay Buccaneers in 2020, but he had the last laugh with an overtime victory over Buffalo in 2021. Despite the agony Brady has caused Buffalo’s fan base, he has consistently expressed profound respect for the passionate Bills Mafia. In a recent episode of his Let’s Go podcast, Brady conveyed his admiration for one of the NFL’s most dedicated fan communities, particularly highlighting the presence of the franchise’s legends.
Brady remarked, “It’s always fascinating—during the years I played there, with Jim Kelly on the sideline and Andre Reed in attendance, along with the likes of Bruce Smith and Thurman Thomas. There’s a strong sense of camaraderie among people who have played for the Bills. It feels like a genuine football brotherhood, and they wholeheartedly rally behind their teams.”
Later in the podcast, Bills quarterback Josh Allen, the episode’s special guest, shared his own perspective on the Buffalo faithful. While Allen has not experienced the full force of Bills Mafia’s fervor as Brady has, he expressed his deep appreciation for the fan base in a different way. Allen observed, “What I sense is that it’s a fan base that, as Tom alluded to earlier, has an immense love for football and the Buffalo Bills. When it comes to ‘Mafia,’ I genuinely believe it signifies a sense of family. It’s incredibly family-oriented here, reminding me of my hometown, where everyone seems to know one another. It’s one extensive community.”
He added, “It’s a fan base that hungers for a world championship victory. You can still sense the pain, the intensity, and the unwavering passion they hold for their teams, even as Buffalo continues to contend for championships.” Bills Mafia’s devotion to their beloved team remains as unwavering as ever
