I lived there about 15 years, walked by homeless people all the time, helped some here and there, and didn't find it too much of a problem. Sure a homeless problem doesn't exactly add that Disney Sheen to a city, but you know what really sucked- a bunch of overpaid digital janitors coming in and douching up a previously very vibrant and uniquely historical city. Classic architecture, bars, music venues, family restaurants, Gold Spike, Gold Dust, Slims. Caesar's gone through greed and boringness- wine bars and douchbaggery reign supreme. The city I totally loved is just frickin dead, and it had nothing to do with homelessness. I hear you. I was there 25 years and moved to Austin a year and a half ago. San Francisco went down the tubes big time. It will always be a great city to go back to and visit but it became intolerable and unlivable in the end. Homelessness was a piece of the problem, more of a symptom, but not the main factor.
C.Biscuit97 Posted February 12, 2021 Posted February 12, 2021 I mean I love Buffalo but I get it if you’re not from here and it’s us vs SF, nit many would chose us. But how much money did she cost him? Like a 1/3 of his contract??? The best part is if he signed here, she would be saying how much she loved Buffalo. are bills fans attacking them on social media? We can be very sensitive. 3 hours ago, DrDawkinstein said: We'll never allow him to vacation in Buffalo in peace!

Arkady Renko Posted February 12, 2021 Posted February 12, 2021 Maybe Peterman would have been successful here if we didn't have DiMarco intentionally sabotaging Peterman's career with tipped passes. Peterman never recovered from that setback.

But didn’t know the backstory. He probably would have caught that deep pass in the Houston playoff game! he maybe would not have played volleyball(causing pic6) with that slow thrown short wide open pass from Peterman vs Chargers that sent Peterman down that rabbit hole he never escaped from. Like the FB Patrick DiMarco Bills then signed and supposedly was the best in league. Edited February 12, 2021 by cba fan

It’s 2021. We were in the AFCC game this season. We have an elite QB. I think the mourning can end for a little while. 🤦♂️

I also seem to remember from my childhood in the 80s that Andre Reed's wife was very unhappy here and almost caused him to leave in Free Agency. From the stories I heard about him she likely should have been unhappy about more than that 1 1

"The next day, I told my agent, 'Hey, if you can get San Francisco to just match [Buffalo's] offer, I'm there,'" Juszczyk said. "So, he came to them with that, and they did it."" what a moron. With taxes that 'match' is less. 3 hours ago, ProcessTruster said: Bobby Ross years ago as head coach also, he went to Chargers instead. Pretty sure the wifey was right on that one... easy choice that one. Frankly, if you were a single rock star pro athlete with no ties to WNY, making millions per year, all things being equal, why would you consciously choose WNY over any west coast or southern team?? Answer: 9 times out of 10 you would not. The Bills being good now changes the calculus for sure, but the Bills needing to overpay-for-FA phenomenon will always be an issue to contend with, unless the player is a family guy or has ties to the area or both. Do you think Daboll would have come if he had no ties to the area and had other identical offers? Don't think so... this is a ridiculous take. Then why do FA's go to places like Green Bay or Baltimore? 1

People laugh when I say that but they don't laugh so much after reading how it has been pumped up by the Wall Street Journal, New York Times, Washington Post, Toronto Sun and the architecture tours that are exceptionally popular with out of town visitors. Sad that most people don't know how amazing the architecture in Buffalo really is and how it is among the best in the country. Buffalo was the richest city per capita in 1900 in the US and those rich people brought in a lot of famous people to build stuff here. Exactly. A lot of these types of cities, like PGH where I live, have fantastic architecture because of the early 1900's wealth. Buffalo was also one of the 10 largest cities in the US in 1900 I believe. Didn't know about the wealth per capita. Where is that from. Neat stat.

Super exited about all the ex San Fran people moving to Austin and doing the same thing to Austin they did to San Fran because they can't afford to live there anymore.

I think elite vet FAs that just want a Ring, will even take a pay cut to play here
msw2112 Posted February 12, 2021 Posted February 12, 2021 (edited) I love Buffalo, but it isn't a major metropolitan area like SF is. And while SF has legendary cold summers, it doesn't have ice cold, snowy winters. If a guy's girlfriend didn't want to live in Buffalo, no big deal. If she had come to town/lived in Buffalo, her attitude might have changed. No need to feel offended or slighted. And, as mentioned above, while Buffalo has great early 1900's architecture, that may not mean a whole lot to most people (I happen to like it, but it wouldn't be a major factor in where I chose to live). People might forget that one Jim Kelly didn't want to come to Buffalo either.... Edited February 12, 2021 by msw2112

Billsatlastin2018 Posted February 12, 2021 Posted February 12, 2021 Hmmm... let’s see. NOT considering the quality of the football team, which CITIES would I want to de Drafted or Traded to: * Las Vegas * Nashville * Phoenix * Miami * NYC end. All the other NFL cities have issues (some of the above have a few), going down to Dresden (1945)... errr Detroit... which is just beyond horrific, for every liveability metric! (Before they moved... San Diego... by FAR the best)

What's the problem? It had a ton of wealth... 120 years ago!" I Meant that the cost of living of SF compared to Buffalo. Like he’s well off but SF took a huge chuck of that money. Completely superficial take. Well there are a lot of pretty girls in Buffalo, if you are in the 5-7 range, you should never leave Buffalo for a bigger market. Conversely, girls in those range in bigger markets should move to Buffalo and they can dominate. Also if you’re an athlete’s wife, you should be very happy to be in Buffalo. Like Allen’s girl is cute but she should lock him down and make sure he never leaves Buffalo until his career is done. The groupie sharks in Miami and LA would be circling the chum. 2 minutes ago, Billsatlastin2018 said: Hmmm... let’s see.

The players whose main interests is what city they want to live in are the ones you avoid haha. also, if you had a second house somewhere warm, I think Buffalo is a pretty great place now that we actually have a good team.
TheyCallMeAndy Posted February 12, 2021 Posted February 12, 2021 I’m just imagining the bombs we could have thrown to him. DiMarco was a great FB with Atlanta 1
