Thank you - someone else who get's it... I've been saying the same thing since Tuesday and have been accused of being negative. Hopefully the bills will kill the jaguars and the remaining season will sell out. But this is an embarassment.

Damn shame. Stuff like this will haunt this small market team.

daquixers, i'm not following your numbers... Ralph Wilson stadium sits just under 74,000 people. 74000 X 8 regular season games a year = 592,000 tickets. Sabres play what, 40 games at HSBC that sits just under 19,000? 18,690 X 40 games a year = 680,000 Numbers above are just estimates; but I don't see where the Bills have to sell over a million tickets a year for a regular season. I also don't buy this excuse: "Combine that with church, jobs (Sabres games usually at night, not in the middle of the day) ... etc and you have your reason (imo)" With a fan base that spreads from Rochester to Southern Ontario, there is no excuse for the Bills not to sell out the game before the blackout deadline. Is it true they are down to a couple thousand tickets? If that's the case - Ralph should either buy the tickets and donate them to the service men/women in our area and their families OR find a company to buy them out.

Happy Thanksgiving...

Dude, I get it. It's clear. I don't care what's going on in Jacksonville. From a national perspective - we ALWAYS get the short end of the stick. With the attitudes around here (clearly some justify the economy of Buffalo not to support the team; meanwhile, HSBC is COMPLETELY sold out for the YEAR) - that we should count on Jacksonville moving over the BILLS. Anything is a possiblity - anything less than a sell out is inexcusable. period. That's why it is imperative that we continue to buy tickets. You guys just don't like reality, do you? ps: Hey Daquixers, isn't Nate in need of a fluffing or something?

exactly. my posts have no relevance to this thread. nice try Ignorance IS bliss, isn't it BlueFire - it's ok, we'll let it slide.

no... but ignorance is bliss, isn't int?

yawn

yo i know exactly how much the tix cost - i have four seasons under my name - and I don't even live in WNY. my whole point: let's worry about our own backyard and not J-ville. we need to continue to sell out that stadium every week. i don't care about our past or the last 24-25 sell outs - i'm concerned about our future... and the message it sends if FANS don't buy TIX. why are fighting over this - it's a no brainer.

sounds like many of you are willing to justify a Bills departure... sad

nah, you're a dumbshit. how can one talk about teams moving to LA and not bring up BUFFALO? The national media does it all the time asswipe. Go ahead folks, go live in your fanstasy world. Godforbid the Bills leave - but if I were you; I'd worry about the team in your backyard and not the one down south. If you freaks can't gleam that from my multiple messages then - yes, !@#$ off

me, too. throw in Danny Wegman, too. As a bills fan and huge buffalo supporter - i have zero confidence in our politicians and business community to get their act together to preserve a great tradition in Buffalo. Yes, we have Schumer and Higgins battling on our behalf - but the fan base must continue to do its part - buy more season tickets and sell out this team. Yes, winning will help - but supporting this team is non-negotiable. Making a stand because you do not support the product only enables a re-lo. (Sorry, I don't know why the fact that we have 7500 tix left bothers me. If we can't sell out this game on a holiday weekend, I can't imagine what the next three will be like after JAX - god I hope the Bills WIN all the way). Go Bills and happy turkey day.

7500 tickets is a disgrace... add to that a holiday weekend. We shouldn't have this problem. I don't care if the stadium is 60,000 or 80,000 in capacity - the stadium actaully sits 73967 people. How can one defend the indefensible?

Dude, you're delusional. 1) I could give two ***** where you live. I have season tix and live in Boston. (Nice try). 2) I don't care what's going on in JAX - I care more about the Buffalo Bills and their cemented future in this area. 3) The Bills season should be sold out and a season ticket waiting list should exist - ala Green Bay. 4) Again, you're delusional not realize that we will always be targeted as a team re-lo until the lease is redone to secure its future here in WNY. It's our job as fans to do our part - the part we CAN Control - to not enable the league/future owners to move the team. #$% off.

Yo, just as thrilled as the next bills fan with Sunday's win. It was much needed and good for JP - I think everyone wants to see the guy succeed. But the truth is: Bills fans need to support this team when they're good - and when they're not so good. Until we get a new stadium (preferably somewhere closer to downtown) and a legit new lease - the Buffalo Bills will always be viewed as a team on the move. Either to LA or more likely Toronto. It's imperative that we sell out the Ralph this weekend, and every home game. Go Bills. Go Sabres (nice win tonight!)

7500 tickets left for this Sunday against JAX. If fans don't stand up and put their money where their mouths are - we could very well be a legit candidate for LA. I know, JAX has it's problems - but so do the Bills. GO BUY A TICKET AND SHUT UP!

Just came across this at Buffalo Pundit... not sure if it was posted. Petition Online ps: Personally, I'm indifferent at this time.

god this frustrating

Can someone explain the lack of intensity and conservatism in the second half? So frustrating.

How do you know which game that is?

The synthetic grass field was restored through a $400,000 gift from the Kraft family and a $200,000 grant from the NFL. Not complaining that the Kraft family/Patriots secured a grant from the NFL for field improvements - more curious to know how often the BILLS sought/received grant funds from the National Football League. Any idea? It would be interesting to see a spreadsheet with every team and grant money allocated for stadium renovations/improvements from the NFL.

This article was posted for one reason: I currently live in Boston and the people are just miserable here. As bad as things are "perceived" by the natives of Buffalo - Buffalo has no reason to be starved for attention. They need to focus on themselves and grow a pair and confidence. Buffalo is truly a great city - with awesome people - hands down: the friendliest people in the world. The folks in Buffalo HAVE no idea how good they have it. People here in Boston are cold and miserable. That's all man - nothing more - nothing less - ask questions before reading into things. Go Bills - Go Sabres (love listening to sports talk here in Boston after the Sabres steal a win from the B's).

You're pathetic... are you a native to Boston by chance?
