JPS Posted January 29, 2013 Posted January 29, 2013 And the front office changed how??? Clearly a marketing move with the bottom line being the number of profitability and not wins. Don't even try to justify it. It sucks.
c'monman Posted January 29, 2013 Posted January 29, 2013 The Buffalo Bill$$$$$$$$$$$$. Thank you Ru$$ Brandon. Your players finally expressed how much they dislike the Toronto series and think it is a joke. It's a good thing you are concerned about them. You dont care about the dedidcated season ticket holders who have been putting up with a pitiful franchise the past 2 decades! I give it 2 more years before we are playing a game at the Carrier Dome.
ALLEN1QB Posted January 29, 2013 Posted January 29, 2013 The big losers in this deal again are the local business owners. Ralph is cheap and selfish and only cares about his bottom dollor and not the hard working NY taxpayers supporting his underachieving team.

BillsFan-4-Ever Posted January 29, 2013 Posted January 29, 2013 I can't wait to hear the spin on this one. It's now impossible for Brandon to say winning is the highest priority for this team when we throw away 1 home game every year for $$$$. $11,000,000.00 per game of INCOME. That's more profit than they make at a home game in Buffalo. Is it the venue or just a lousy product? I'm leaning on - just a lousy product! If the Bills were contenders you would find more Canadians rooting for them.
qblax16 Posted January 29, 2013 Posted January 29, 2013 If it's necessary than fine with me too... selfishly, I'm a season ticket holder and live in NC, so the extra preseason game I don't have to pay for is fine. I'd be happy to pay for the extra 5 regular season games though!!!!

Meathead Posted January 29, 2013 Posted January 29, 2013 very glad they did this again. excellent income that helps the team stay in bflo and helps acquire top shelf fa talent. nice work brandonsteinberg
Homey D. Clown Posted January 29, 2013 Posted January 29, 2013 if it truly is a necessary evil to keep the bills in buffalo, then i am fine with it. It's NOT necessary, this has been the dumbest concept in pro sports history. THANKS AGAIN AS$WHIPE RUSS BRANDON!! This team has just been crippled with another away game for 5 more years. I truly hate Russ Brandon.
May Day 10 Posted January 29, 2013 Posted January 29, 2013 (edited) No one wants to accept it, but with the economy, the Stadium renovation deal, and Ralph passing one of these days, this is good news to keep the Bills in Buffalo. The NFL wants to regionalize. Don't be surprised if one day San Diego plays one game in Mexico City. Would you rather them called the Los Angelos Bills? you mean the terrible economy that casually dropped multiple millions of dollars in just a couple of days at the Sabres Store, coming out of a lockout and a non playoff year, right after the holidays? Brandon's committment to winning was all BS, like everything else he spins. Players hate it, it sacrifices competitive advantage for an easy payout. Edited January 29, 2013 by May Day 10
BuffaloWings Posted January 29, 2013 Posted January 29, 2013 Team should be able to win anywhere they play. JMO Agree 10000%, but this essentially takes away a home game for the Bills. Despite what Brandon says, there is no advantage for the Bills from a "home field" perspective. This doesn't mean that they would have actually been competitive against Seattle, but it still felt like a road game.
PromoTheRobot Posted January 29, 2013 Posted January 29, 2013 (edited) Bills fans pissing and moaning over something? I'm shocked! Shocked and stunned, I tell you! Jeez, get over it. Did the world spin off its axis after the last 5 year deal? No, and its not going to this time either. As for the players not liking it, too damn bad. It's not like they play any better at RWS. You want Toronto to cheer for your sorry asses? Win some damn football games! Don't play like you deserve to be booed. PTR Edited January 29, 2013 by PromoTheRobot
CodeMonkey Posted January 29, 2013 Posted January 29, 2013 Whats the point of stadium renovations if we use our stadium one less game every year? The bigger question is what is the point of spending so much money on stadium renovations when the stadium is used so few times a year. One more or less is the smaller issue.
first_and_ten Posted January 29, 2013 Posted January 29, 2013 I can't wait to hear the spin on this one. It's now impossible for Brandon to say winning is the highest priority for this team when we throw away 1 home game every year for $$$$. The spin will be that this makes the team viable for the future in Buffalo. We really didn't need this extention to realize that winning was not the highest priority. Have you not witnessed the last 13 years?
CodeMonkey Posted January 29, 2013 Posted January 29, 2013 It's NOT necessary, this has been the dumbest concept in pro sports history. THANKS AGAIN AS$WHIPE RUSS BRANDON!! This team has just been crippled with another away game for 5 more years. I truly hate Russ Brandon. Yup, that's the reason the Bills have sucked the last 13 years.
papazoid Posted January 29, 2013 Posted January 29, 2013 this is very good news..... with Toronto the bills are the 4th largest NFL market...... without Toronto the bills will be the 2nd largest NFL market.......when they move to Los Angeles....
buffaloboyinATL Posted January 29, 2013 Posted January 29, 2013 Too bad the annual Toronto game couldn't count for one of the away games as a neutral site event, like the annual London game!! That would be a great compromise, but I assume it would mean we would have to split the $$ which is why it won't happen.
Shoutbox Posted January 29, 2013 Posted January 29, 2013 I wish the Bills would move training camp and all of the preseason games to Toronto but leave the 8 regular season games at RWS. But whatever.
