The Real Buffalo Joe Posted November 6, 2014 Posted November 6, 2014 There are no reasons to compromise or continue the series in any way. It's going to be over and good riddance. This is just hypothetical. To be honest, I don't know why Rogers agreed to extend the series. They were the ones losing money.
ALF Posted November 6, 2014 Posted November 6, 2014 At least London , a neutral site with 80,000 enthusiastic fans seems ok . A preseason game a year in Toronto would be ok if it could sell enough tickets.
May Day 10 Posted November 6, 2014 Posted November 6, 2014 This is just hypothetical. To be honest, I don't know why Rogers agreed to extend the series. They were the ones losing money. I believe it is on record that the new deal was for much less money, which the amount was never disclosed publicly this time... which infuriated me even more, especially on the heels of Brandon's all about winning/no stone unturned speech,.

A preseason game a year in Toronto would be ok if it could sell enough tickets. That's one of the good sides of the deal. From a financial standpoint, Rogers paid the team a flat fee, and we made the same amount no matter how many tickets were sold. I could be wrong about that, but I know I read that in a few places.
26CornerBlitz Posted November 6, 2014 Posted November 6, 2014 This is just hypothetical. To be honest, I don't know why Rogers agreed to extend the series. They were the ones losing money. Primarily because the Bills stunk for the entirety of the series and plainly were not a good draw for that market.
papazoid Posted November 6, 2014 Author Posted November 6, 2014 This is just hypothetical. To be honest, I don't know why Rogers agreed to extend the series. They were the ones losing money. Rogers reasons were obvious....he wanted to own an NFL franchise. he felt the series would give them a leg up towards that goal.
TheBillsWillRiseAgain Posted November 6, 2014 Posted November 6, 2014 (edited) That's the point. We lost a home game to Toronto every year. Don't want to lose a home game to London. If the Bills play in London it'll be for an away game. Edited November 6, 2014 by TheBillsWillRiseAgain
B-Man Posted November 6, 2014 Posted November 6, 2014 We will be the "away" team next year against................................Jacksonville. .
TheBillsWillRiseAgain Posted November 6, 2014 Posted November 6, 2014 I'll be going to the London game if it's next year. I'm actually pretty excited.
Mike in Horseheads Posted November 6, 2014 Posted November 6, 2014 We will be the "away" team next year against................................Jacksonville. . I hope it's the 9:30am game.
TheBillsWillRiseAgain Posted November 6, 2014 Posted November 6, 2014 Gotta show those Europeans how we cheer for the Bills in the states.
The Real Buffalo Joe Posted November 6, 2014 Posted November 6, 2014 Gotta show those Europeans how we cheer for the Bills in the states. Better party, Buffalo Bills Tailgate, or European soccer match?
TheBillsWillRiseAgain Posted November 6, 2014 Posted November 6, 2014 I think you're less likely to die at a tailgate, so I'm going with that answer.
KD in CA Posted November 6, 2014 Posted November 6, 2014 Peter King said about a month ago that the Bills are rumored to be playing in one of the 5 London games next year. There is a thread on it somewhere. I hope that it is a road game but either way I am looking forward to making the trip. Wow, 5 games? I'm actually kind psyched for the Bills to play in London. If it's a good weekend to get away, I'll have to seriously consider going.

The regular season should be a 19-week, 17-game schedule, with each team having eight home games, eight away games, two bye weeks and one neutral-site game. http://mmqb.si.com/2014/10/22/nfl-international-series-global-expansion/
ricojes Posted November 6, 2014 Posted November 6, 2014 That probably means one game a year in London. The London games will be announced this afternoon. I heard Jets@Fish rumors, that would suck to have a home divisional game taken away. Not that we don't know what that feels like...
