Unfortunately most NFL players are more AB than Ross Tucker Tell that to frank gore???!? The guy is a dinosaur. I’m sure any player his age would be happy to sign with any NFL team. Your paradigm changes when you’re on the wrong side of 30. That was a joke.
RyanC883 Posted March 12, 2019 Posted March 12, 2019 the weather argument comes up in Syracuse Basketball. Coach B always tells the recruits, "during the winter you're inside playing basketball, during the Summer it's awesome here or you can go home." Similar to football: "during football season the weather in Buffalo is awesome. During the winter you can stay or go to Arizona or wherever." Really, playing in Buffalo (or any northern team) allows you to be in fantastic weather almost every day of the year. Great during the season, then go south when the season is over if you want.
ghostwriter Posted March 12, 2019 Posted March 12, 2019 Well, can you blame them? What's in Buffalo? My favorite city in NY is Ithaca and it's a very small town compared to Buffalo. Watkins Glenn is decent as well but Buffalo is crummy. I'm not denying it's a great sports town though and the cost of living ain't too shabby. You can definitely make a career here if you think you're a good fit for our team, we're definitely a blue collar lunch pail kind of town, we don't want the me me me prima donna types like Antonio Brown anyways, that's not who we are as a city.

In terms of cities, Detroit, Pittsburgh and Cleveland are a little bigger they aren’t much better. All of those cities took a dive thanks to the decline of industry and outsourcing 1 hour ago, ddaryl said: The cost of snow removal alone in NYS demands a higher taxes. Yes NYS still has its tax issues... However Out here in Western Wa if we get snow my street never gets plowed...... 6 inches of snow here cripples the area where we have to take LWOPs from work because they do not have the infrastructure to deal with it when it does happen. We also pay 10x's as much for vehicle registrations etc.. every state finds away to get their money.... Interesting.... I do know that taxes are lower in some cities but the cost of living is higher. So in the end, it probably evens ojtout 1
Just Joshin' Posted March 12, 2019 Posted March 12, 2019 How many FA's this year thus far...exactly. This is a BS article - money talks.

Buffalo, 12 votes 2. Oakland, 11 3. Cincinnati, 8 4. Detroit, 7 5. Cleveland, 6 As for Buffalo, the least enticing free-agent destination in the NFL according to our poll, only three agents didn’t have the Bills in their Bottom 5. Weather and a recent history of losing were two big factors, but the city had at least one supporter among the agents polled. “I think they’re turning things around in Buffalo,” he said. “That regime is doing things the right way.” Discuss......... Bad ownership and trash teams for 20+ years... Detroit plays inside and Oakland has mild weather, so how much did weather really play into this?

As to why 'every' free agent didn't sign with Miami or SD- let's just sit here for a moment and think about how ridiculous a question that is. Yeah, so you have no good response. Again, the lack of winning trumps any of this other nonsense. Oh no, we couldn’t get Desean Jackson because we didn’t have good enough clubs!
LSHMEAB Posted March 12, 2019 Posted March 12, 2019 Weather is definitely a factor. Let's not kid ourselves. But you can overcome that impediment by building a brand that teams want to be a part of. That comes with winning. I was disappointed they didn't land AB, but very happy with the acquisitions they've made thus far. There were some that didn't expect the Bills to be a major player in free agency because the "process" was a 5 year plan etc. Make no mistake; this regime wants to win NOW and understands they don't have forever. I'm encouraged.

MJS Posted March 12, 2019 Posted March 12, 2019 This will change when we win. I mean, if Green Bay had been losing for the past two decades is there any doubt that they would be ranked near the bottom? 1
