Chalkie Gerzowski Posted March 9, 2005 Posted March 9, 2005 If they moved to Batavia in order to better regionalize... 268489[/snapback] Not bad......build a 250,000 seat stadium in sight of the I-90!
SF Bills Fan Posted March 9, 2005 Posted March 9, 2005 I' wouldn't root for them and I'd stop watching the NFL altogether.
Arkady Renko Posted March 9, 2005 Posted March 9, 2005 Only if they stayed in upstate NY. Seriously, why would people even consider rooting for them otherwise? If they moved even an inch over the border into Canada, I am done as a fan.
BillsFanNC Posted March 9, 2005 Posted March 9, 2005 Nope. If they left Buffalo they and the NFL would be dead to me.
Rubes Posted March 9, 2005 Posted March 9, 2005 Absolutely not. The one thing that I would fear is if they finally up and leave, and then manage to win a Super Bowl. That would suck. But, since that already happened to Cleveland, it wouldn't be quite as bad.
Justice Posted March 9, 2005 Posted March 9, 2005 What's the alternative? The Miami Dolphins , seeing I do live in Miami. I think not, I can never root for anyone else other than the Bills. Even if they leave the city of Buffalo and change names and jerseys. They will always be the Bills to me no matter what. Besides, the city of Buffalo isn't exactly a booming town anymore. At least the Bills will win a Super Bowl the minute they leave Buffalo.
Beerball Posted March 9, 2005 Posted March 9, 2005 ...if they were to ever leave Buffalo? 268372[/snapback] You mean like to Orchard Park? I could still root for them under those circumstances.
Like A Mofo Posted March 9, 2005 Posted March 9, 2005 ...if they were to ever leave Buffalo? 268372[/snapback] Not a chance.
gggbills Posted March 9, 2005 Posted March 9, 2005 ...if they were to ever leave Buffalo? 268372[/snapback] That is the easiest question I've had all day. Hell NO, regardless of where they move. Even if they moved to So. Cal., (where I am), I would not root for them. In fact, I would likely root against them.
Tony P Posted March 9, 2005 Posted March 9, 2005 I've thought about this many times over the years and the answer is an unequivocal, absolute no effin' way. Didn't root for the Clippers and no way in heck could I root for the Bills if they moved.
Tcali Posted March 10, 2005 Posted March 10, 2005 ...if they were to ever leave Buffalo? 268372[/snapback] If the Bills moved I'd fart in their general direction. The scum.
Moose Posted March 10, 2005 Posted March 10, 2005 If they moved from Western NY, the answer is an emphatic NO! I would, in all likelihood, stop watching pro football. If I retained any interest at all, I'd probably be a *very* casual Browns fan. (Yeech, I'd never ever buy any Browns gear, though!)
justnzane Posted March 10, 2005 Posted March 10, 2005 If they abandoned WNY, only if they were playing the felons, and pasties. I would still feel uneasy watching football, if such a tragedy were to happen
dave mcbride Posted March 10, 2005 Posted March 10, 2005 ...if they were to ever leave Buffalo? 268372[/snapback] i would devote the remainder of my thin sports interest to rooting for them to finish 0-16 and ignoring every other team in the league. after a couple of years of that, i'd never watch a sporting event in my life (i've already ratcheted down to the nfl only).
Arkady Renko Posted March 10, 2005 Posted March 10, 2005 I am not sure whether I would be more pissed if they moved somewhere and kept the same name or if they moved and completely changed their name (more likely). With the former, at least some people might remember the old team and its location, with the latter, people wouldn't consider them the same team.
ajzepp Posted March 10, 2005 Posted March 10, 2005 norfolk/va beach or erie, pa are the only places i'd still root for the bills otherwise i'd be a steeler fan and the former bills would join the ranks of miami, new england, and dallas as teams i despise 268427[/snapback] Are you from Erie too??
Alaska Darin Posted March 10, 2005 Posted March 10, 2005 No. I don't know what I'd do as far as the NFL goes. Probably just watch college ball. If someone held a gun to my head, I'd probably root for the Packers.
PromoTheRobot Posted March 10, 2005 Posted March 10, 2005 No...In fact I would wish their stadium would slide into the Pacific during a mudslide...assuming they moved to L.A. Now if Tom Golisamo bought the team and built a new stadium in Batavia or Rochester, I could deal with that...as long as they were still the Buffalo Bills PTR
