So what constitutes "Most Troubled"? The fact that they make 100 million this year vs. 200 million because they signed Mario Williams?

"..We don't expect the proud citizenry of upstate New York to take kindly to flaming arrows from a magazine obsessed with the rich.".

This article (if you can even call it that) has no reasons or logic to it. Just a couple paragraphs to fill some space. What a joke.

Michael Ozanian, executive editor at Forbes, said the small market, old stadium and ownership uncertainty all led to the "most troubled" description.

What? Are you some kind of code monkey or somethin'?

Magazines still exist?

Well...I guess we better win the whole thing this year then.

wait, green bay, cleveland, minnesota, cincy, kc, saints, etc etc... lol

[Beerball]

Yeah, I'd say unsettled. Ownership is the biggest question surrounding this team. Until that is resolved things are unsettled. (think "up in the air" if the word unsettled bothers you)

Lambeau has been sold out for decades. It's impossible to place the Packers in the same category as those teams.

That is a stupid comment. The Raiders, Jacksonville and Rams are troubled franchises. The Bills are not.

That is a stupid comment. The Raiders, Jacksonville and Rams are troubled franchises. The Bills are not.

What takes the Bills out of that list, though? Seriously. If anything, put the Bills in and take the Rams out. The quote from the executive editor says it all - small market, old stadium and uncertain ownership. No other team is facing those three things simultaneously. It's a sad truth.

[BuffaloWest]

Dont forget the Chargers....They have a total crap stadium , a team on the decline, blackouts looming and almots a ZERO chance to get a new stadium built...Oh yeah, and what about Tampa Bay-Already blacked out in week one, and Cinci who didnt sell out one game last year...F this guy, just another hack looking to make waves because he is a nobody.

Actually what I found interesting was that being valued at $805 million put the Bills at 29th in the NFL.

!@#$ me there is a lot of money in tackle football huh. My net worth should be a lowly $805 million.

[Coach Tuesday]

The Buccanneers' home opener is blacked out.

Now that's "troubled"

Do the Jags re-use the tarps to cover up entire sections of seats every year, or is the league paying for new ones?

_{The Bills playing a game in Toronto is equivalent to tarping 9000 seats per game.The Forbes description is right and Bills fans have to cometo grips that this could be their last season in Buffalo}

[bmur66]

I am cancelling my Forbes subscription and selling all my Buffalo Bills stock.

They need something for waiting rooms of doctor's offices (usually magazines some there would have bought anyways and can deduct now) and to place advertising in,
