Bengals and Bills will forever be bonded

[THE END OF ALL DAYS]

We always talk about sport rivalries... two teams that "hate" each other and fight like dogs when they meet... and throw shade at each other off the field... the fan bases hurling insults and the bad blood.
Between the drought ending Dalton throw and the Demar situation, and how the Bengals have handled their end with utmost class, these two teams will forever be bonded as brothers, not as hated rivals.
Sure they will compete hard, but there will never be bad blood between these two franchises or their fan bases.
Very Unique for sports

There will be bad blood as soon as they play each other again and one team leaves the field a loser.

I feel like we have a similar bond with the Browns, at least as far as the fan base goes.


There were several years when Cleveland didn't have a team, after the original Browns became the Ravens and before they were given an expansion team. As Bills fans, a move was a constant fear for many years, so there was sympathy for Cleveland fans. The cities are geographically close together, and I remember the Bills hosting a few "Cleveland Browns Day" games during those years when they were team-less. I've heard from several Browns fans who said they rooted for us during those years and still root for us as long as we aren't playing them.

Obviously, it's not as serious as what happened to Hamlin, but there is definitely a link and a similarity between the two cities.

Joe Burrow weighs in on whether Bills-Bengals game should be played


Burrow said Wednesday he doesn’t know if a decision will be made after the Sunday games this week or beforehand. As for what he wants, he said the Bengals are going to follow Buffalo’s lead.


“I think (playing the game) would be tough just scheduling-wise,” he said. “I think whatever Buffalo would want to do would be what we would want to do as well. We’re behind them 100% and support them in whatever they would decide to do going forward.”

Burrow recalled what it felt like to be on the field Monday night. Both teams watched on in horror as Hamlin spent 15 minutes receiving CPR to save his life. Medical professionals had to resuscitate the 24-year-old and restart his heart before loading him into an ambulance.

There were a lot of emotions Monday night and over the past few days, Burrow said.
