Who Are the Bills Mafia?

According to The Emory Marketing Analytics Center and Fanalytics Podcast the Bills fanbase ranks just ahead of Jacksonville.  They take QBs into account + social media + a trailing 20 years... which is clearly why the Bills rank so poorly. The Bills had shit for QBs for a good portion of those 20 years, and never made the playoffs for 17 of those years.

Also, not sure how old their social media data is. Bills are:
 

25th on Instagram (as of May, 2022) Bills IG Page
22nd on Twitter (as of April, 2022) Bills Twitter Account

22nd on YouTube (as of May 2022) Bills YouTube Account
30th on Facebook (as of March 2022) Bills Facebook Page

Still, they offered up an explanation of their analysis knowing it was going to be dismissed (because it is ludicrous). 
 

2022 NFL Fandom Rankings
 

#27 Buffalo Bills
 

The average Fan Cost Index in 2021 was around $570, and the average ticket price was $107. The Bill’s cost index and ticket prices were $489 and $82.49, respectively. Buffalo is a small market, but the team has been one of the top-performing clubs over the last few seasons. As a comparison, Green Bay is an even smaller market, but the Packers have an average ticket price that is 56% higher than the Bills. The Bills Social Media results also place the club in the lower portion of the league. The Bills combined social following exceeds only the Titans and Jaguars.  
         

Buffalo is one of several clubs with (small?) intense fan bases that do not translate to marketing power. The image of Bills fans packing a stadium on a freezing day are compelling, and it makes me want to root for the Bills fans to place higher. This is especially true when the Bills rank lower than LA or Florida fans that do not seem devoted to their teams. But while some fans seem intense, the Bills lack pricing power at the local level and social cache at the national level. 

Win just ONE Super Bowl and the National thing turns into a Mafia wave.

Not on Facebook, so couldn't see the link to the actual studio's results, but any study conducted by a university based in Atlanta needs to look at where they have the Falcons ranked.  The Flakes have one of the absolute worst fair weather fans in any sport.  If they are ranked anywhere above 25 the entire study is a sham.

 

Expecting it's a lot like when people who live places like Miami or Houston that have 95°F w/ 95% humidity for 7 months of the year say they have "great" weather.  It's BS.  But people don't actually think about what they're saying is "good."  They can't walk from their office to their car w/out sweating through their clothes and they have to deal w/ hurricanes, but hey, at least it almost never snows.

We basically just moved to that weather.   When you can smell the humidity in the air, good weather is not a description I would use.

We’re getting a reputation.

So, we went to open a local bank account today. As we were sitting in the manager’s office, the teller came over and professed to be a big Josh Allen and Stefon Diggs fan. Since Florida only has a back license plate, my husband had ordered me a Bills plate for the front. I had parked in front of the bank, he noticed and immediately came over to talk Bills! 
 

This is in an unincorporated area in north west Florida. Bills fans are everywhere!
