billsfan_34 Posted March 5, 2014 Share Posted March 5, 2014 You WNY residents better buy some more season tickets and sell out all 8 games this season. OBD stepped up now you need to reward them with dollars. Let me remind you that this team has been rewarded from this community to include county and state tax dollars from the get go.

xsoldier54 Posted March 5, 2014 Share Posted March 5, 2014 People from Buffalo can’t stand Toronto or they can’t stand the Leafs? That’s two different things. I know some folks from Toronto. I haven’t heard anyone bad mouth Buffalo. Not that there aren’t those that might. I don’t think there is any real friction between the cities. Seems more like a good storyline for journalists to make up and create some type of rivalry. Most folks from either city probably couldn’t care less about the other in any meaningful way. And when I go to the Ralph I always meet a lot of folks from Ontario. It's a hockey thing. People in Toronto will never root for a Buffalo team, simply because they are from Buffalo. The hockey hatred carries over. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FireChan Posted March 5, 2014 Share Posted March 5, 2014 According to CBSSPORTS. com Jason La Canfora believes its only a matter of time before the Bills are playing in Toronto on a regular basis. http://www.cbssports...series-for-2014 The Toronto Bills... Buffalo fans, buying season tickets this year isn't going to stop all that money up north from buying the team when Wilson passes. There are so many entities that want an NFL team, and that have so much more money then local folks, and think they could pull off a Jerry Jones by turning this franchise into a 2 billion dollar Org. Lets not forget that good old Ralphie has already stated the sale of the team goes to the highest bidder. He already bought his way into the HoF, so what does he care if western NY hates him when he is gone. Of course they'll leave. Why bother taking a hit for 1 of the luckiest 32 cities in North America that can't or won't be bothered sell out 7 games a year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bbb Posted March 5, 2014 Share Posted March 5, 2014 It's a hockey thing. People in Toronto will never root for a Buffalo team, simply because they are from Buffalo. The hockey hatred carries over. This year, the Leafs-Sabres played on Friday in Buffalo and Leafs fans threw beer cans at the Sabres and it was a hate filled night............And, then they're supposed to turn around two days later and root for Buffalo?

marauderswr80 Posted March 5, 2014 Share Posted March 5, 2014 What i got out of the interview...... Holy **** we lost Byrd, we better announce this now to save face!

birdog1960 Posted March 5, 2014 Share Posted March 5, 2014 Hah, this is how low Bills' fans expectations have fallen. Now they're just happy to have all their home games played in their home stadium. exactly. as if having home field advantage for half the games is a luxury in the nfl. the stockholm complex is so engrained in some fans that having a disadvantage reversed to parity with every other franchise is now considered an advantage.

Who said it was a luxury? Are fans wrong to be excited about parity once again? Again, who said it was now an advantage? Haven't seen anything of the sort in this thread.

So, if you have cancer, and then you go for an important check-up and they say you are now cancer free, what is your reaction? "Who cares - now I'm just the same as everybody else without cancer!"

1B4IDie Posted March 5, 2014 Share Posted March 5, 2014 So, if you have cancer, and then you go for an important check-up and they say you are now cancer free, what is your reaction? "Who cares - now I'm just the same as everybody else without cancer!" And when the doctor sends the Bill for getting you cancer free. Your reaction, is why do I have to pay this Canada has free Health care! The Recaptured game must be a sell out in order to kill the TO series. Let me remind you that this team has been rewarded from this community to include county and state tax dollars from the get go. Thanks.

Haven't seen anything of the sort in this thread. responding to "obd stepped up and now you have to reward them with dollars". i'm saying there's no need to reward corporate behavior that is the norm for every other franchise. to require extra payment for this move implies it's extraordinary when in fact having 9 road games a year is the only thing that's extraordinary.

"Who cares - now I'm just the same as everybody else without cancer!" i see the analogy as more: the doctor was increasing my risk of cancer with all the unnecessary xrays. now he's not. gee, thanks. i don't yet have cancer. hopefully, he won't start ordering unnecessary xrays again.

Rivermont Mike Posted March 5, 2014 Share Posted March 5, 2014 Truth is, good teams win at home and find a way to win on the road and at "neutral" sites. What i got out of the interview...... Holy **** we lost Byrd, we better announce this now to save face! Timing just seems odd to me is all. Almost like this was planned way in advance. Im happy, but just seems odd to me. In two years, the Toronto series will be back, but there will be new uniforms. Go Bills! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Because if/when the Bills move to Toronto there will be no relocation fee. For all we know the fix may already be in to move to Toronto and they have 6 years or so to build a stadium.

Bit odd. I clicked the link in your post that you quoted, and it took me right to the article by La Canfora. So why was it so important for the Bills to establish Toronto as part of their market? Because if/when the Bills move to Toronto there will be no relocation fee. For all we know the fix may already be in to move to Toronto and they have 6 years or so to build a stadium. PTR If they even end up in Toronto, as La Confora stated that London wants a team, and LA will get two teams. I highly doubt Buffalo Has an NFL team in the next five years.
