Buffalo Rumblings
The Bills have Hill’s number, and they’re living rent-free inside his head.
Tyreek Hill talks a lot. His mouth often moves as fast as he runs. This is news to no one who follows the Buffalo Bills, or the NFL in general, honestly. Hill is a polarizing figure the likes of an NFL heel — and he carries a less-than-squeaky-clean history off the field.
Speaking of squeaky...
This week, Tyreek Hill paid a visit to an online streamer named Aiden Ross (checks, Google). While talking with Ross and his entourage aboard what looked to be a bachelor party limo bus, Hill shared the following NSFW comment:
“The Bills. I don’t fuck with the Bills. Fuck — every time we — bro, when I used to play in Kansas City, bro it was always ‘fuck the Bills’ every time we played against them. And we fucked them up every time. But in Miami it’s the same thing too, though, but like 10 times harder. It’s ‘fuck the Bills’ all day. All they wanna do is jump through fuckin’ tables ‘cause they got fuckin’ CTE. Stupid-ass fans. The fans are stupid as ass.”
This is where I remind you that Tyreek Hill isn’t the greatest of role models for anyone to pick. I get it, I’m perhaps aged out of relevancy since I had no idea an Aiden Ross existed until this bit of news hit my desk. Furthermore, I don’t understand why the platform is viral to begin with — and it certainly is now if it wasn’t before thanks to Hill’s comments.
There’s no love lost for Hill from Bills Mafia, even if there are some who may be reluctant to admit (even despite the social media receipts) that they’d love to see him suit up for Buffalo.
The guy carries drama everywhere he goes, as though his life is an endless loop of “reality” TV. Well, the reality is that he’s an acquired taste, and he was caught letting his guard down in a moment for which he didn’t prepare. But that’s exactly when you get to the real of a person.
The unfortunate situation for Hill is how very wrong he was in saying what he did. His opinions aside about Bills Mafia, his facts are just wrong. Yes, the Kansas City Chiefs have had the Buffalo’s number when it counts. No one will ever dispute it and plenty are quick to remind of that fact.
Guess what? In his career against the Bills, Hill’s teams have gone a combined 4-9 versus Buffalo — 3-3 with the Chiefs and an abysmal 1-6 with the Dolphins. That’s hardly the consistent beatdown Hill remembers.
In nine regular-season games facing the Bills, Hill’s teams have gone a combined 2-7. His stats aren’t much to write home about either: 45 catches (73 targets) for 470 yards with 2 touchdowns — good for a 61.6% catch rate, 6.44 yards per target, 5 receptions per game, 52.2 yards per game (per Pro Football Reference)....
