RkFast Posted November 11, 2005 Share Posted November 11, 2005 SOME good NFL city is going to lose a team. It may very well be the Bills. How Tags can make this move and say its good for the league is beyond me. Tell you this.....if its the Bills, Im done with pro football. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stephenjames716 Posted November 11, 2005 Share Posted November 11, 2005 I doubt it will be the Bills....The Saints are the front runners imo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

finknottle Posted November 11, 2005 Share Posted November 11, 2005 I think your leading contender would be New Orleans. 500461[/snapback] I would be surprised if it was not the Chargers. They are more or less resigned to it in San Diego. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JimBob2232 Posted November 11, 2005 Share Posted November 11, 2005 I also think buffalo is safe in this move. It really depends on Ralphs timing (if you know what i mean) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BenchBledsoe Posted November 11, 2005 Share Posted November 11, 2005 I would be surprised if it was not the Chargers. They are more or less resigned to it in San Diego. 500467[/snapback] Yes, it should be the Chargers. Their fans would just drive up the freeway a bit more on Sunday mornings. Southern Calif. is just one big megatropolis anyway. It's all people, and this would be halfway in between for highly populated Orange Co. as well (Orange Co. is south of L.A. Co., and north of San Diego, in case you didn't know). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Tomcat Posted November 11, 2005 Author Share Posted November 11, 2005 Jacksonville maybe? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zow2 Posted November 11, 2005 Share Posted November 11, 2005 Jacksonville maybe? 500496[/snapback] You're right. Jacksonville should be the first city to go. What a disgrace of an NFL city over the past few years....having to rope off huge portions of their upper deck and still not selling out for a competitive team. I agree though that San Diego will probably be the one since it's already been openly discussed and the NFL won't have nearly the public outrage that they would for a Buffalo or Nawleans!

Should the NFL now stay there only BECAUSE of Katrina? Gunna have a rough time making it there Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blue Chipper Posted November 11, 2005 Share Posted November 11, 2005 How many sellouts have the Bills had over the past few seasons? There are atleast two or three teams that are playing in half empty stadiumas that would go to LA before the Bills. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kipers Hair Posted November 11, 2005 Share Posted November 11, 2005 according to the "experts" on this - ANY city that is vying for a new stadium would be the most likely candidate. As long as the Bills or their future ownership does not want a new stadium, the likelihood it being them is slim. The fornt-runners they believe are the Saints, jaguars and the Vikings....

Fezmid Posted November 11, 2005 Share Posted November 11, 2005 Don't be surprised if it's the Vikings. They've wanted a new stadium for a long time, and the state keeps saying "No way!" (I agree with them, even though the Dome sucks, it's only 20-25 years old). CW Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SF Bills Fan Posted November 11, 2005 Share Posted November 11, 2005 The Saints will likely be the team. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fires Posted November 11, 2005 Share Posted November 11, 2005 I was listening to "Lex and Terry" this AM on the way to work (they're a talk show based out of Jacksonville). They were talking about this, and the 2nd team mentioned after NO, was the Bills. One of them asked why the Bills? The answer given was "because they've been trying to get a new Stadium, and the City won't build them one" I was shocked to hear them say us, but even though they might be partially correct about the Stadium issue, I can't forsee the Bills leaving due to the fanbase and the fact that we sellout almost every game. I would think NYS would build a new stadium if that ever became an issue to keeping the Bills. Several other teams are better candidates at moving: NO, San Diego, Indy, Minn., Jax. to name a few. Considering the radio show was based in Jax, I can understand why we were mentioned.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Navy Chief Navy Pride Posted November 11, 2005 Share Posted November 11, 2005 I think your leading contender would be New Orleans. 500461[/snapback] Terry Bradshaw is tryin to buy the Aints from Benson and keep them in New Orleans. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Bills are not seeking a new stadium, and the city is not stopping them by not building one. That sounds like someone who read that ridiculous rumor a few months ago that everyone put down immediately. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Indy Dave Posted November 11, 2005 Share Posted November 11, 2005 Several other teams are better candidates at moving: NO, San Diego, Indy, Minn., Jax. to name a few. Right now, I'm looking outside at a big hole that was a parking lot six weeks ago. It's the future home of a state of the art facility that is going to host dozens of NCAA men's and women's basketball tournament games (including a Final Four every handful of years), while also serving as home of the Indianapolis Colts and probably a Super Bowl in the next 10 years. You can take this city off of your list of "better candidates." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kasper13 Posted November 11, 2005 Share Posted November 11, 2005 In the Buffalo News today, Commissioner Tags said TWO teams for LA. One in LA and one in Anaheim. No mention of what existing teams may move if it will be expansion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
