peterpan Posted October 30, 2018 Posted October 30, 2018 I would celebrate. We all should. We have finally been cured from our bulls fandom curse. I would likely never follow another team but just interesting players.

Would you still be a Bills fan or would you pick another team and who would that be? I'm not entirely sure but I think I would become a Steelers fan or maybe just stop watching NFL completely. I used to think about this before the Pegula's bought the team. I think if they moved and kept the same mascot name and uniform, etc. I might stay a fan. But honestly, the way things have gone for the last 20 years, I would probably look for a new team with young talent that is on the rise. Possibly get some fan joy once before I croak lol

If Pegula didn’t pony up, some other rich Buffalonian or transplant would have everybody who is scared is losing sleep... i was worried when I was 10 and their were “TALKS” The Wilson’s trust were only selling to somebody who committed to Buffalo They would lose 99% of the Buffalo market... and it is the best NFL market in America ratings wise almost yearly If they lost the entire Buffalo market and gained the entire Canadian market, the next TV deal will make the owners way more money still. im Not knocking the Buffalo market. It’s similar to KC. All I am saying is that if the Bills (or anywhere else) aren’t locally viable, the NFL will be glad to go to Toronto etc. not to St. Louis, or San Antonio etc. NFL Gaines Zero by relocating domestically.
Irv Posted October 30, 2018 Author Posted October 30, 2018 1 hour ago, The Real Buffalo Joe said: The Saint Louis (or wherever) Bills wouldn't make sense, so hopefully they'd get a brand new identity. Names, colors, etc, like the Ravens did. I'd then hate the franchise with a passion. Would probably come around to the Texans since they're local, but would only watch occassionally, and would never come around to loving them like I do the Bills. If that happened, the CFL could probably expand, use the Ralph. Buy whatever licencing fees they need to call the team the Bills. Get the logo, colors, jerseys back, and I guarantee there'd be some success there, simply because we'd need to fill the void left somehow. They'd never be as big as the AFL/NFL Bills were, but it'd certainly fill the void. Same way The Bandits picked up a cult following starting with the NHL lockout back in the mid 2000s. I agree, Sincerely, Utah Jazz 1

The problem though (I could be wrong), but if I remember, not all of Canada is interested in the NFL. There are many Canadians who will watch the CFL and won't follow the NFL with the same passion. So there isn't a guarantee that if you lose the Bills market you gain the entire Canadian market.

Yup, Saturday's would replace Sundays for me then. Plus, the Irish are the only team I currently root for that give me joy when watching them.

SlimShady'sSpaceForce Posted October 30, 2018 Posted October 30, 2018 They suck so bad nobody would want them
Mrbojanglezs Posted October 30, 2018 Posted October 30, 2018 NFL would be dead to me other than possibly occasionally watching some primetime games
suorangefan4 Posted October 30, 2018 Posted October 30, 2018 Can someone make me mod for 5 minutes so I can lock this stupid thread up?

Bad Things Posted October 30, 2018 Posted October 30, 2018 If the Bills ever left Buffalo, the situation would finally "release me" from watching NFL Football. Jeez, I moved away from NY way back in 1990. I've faithfully followed this dysfunctional team throughout my moves across the US and to the other side of the planet. Apart from The Bills, I don't follow or watch any other NFL games. Please release me from this spiraling vortex of suffering!
