LevysEraII Posted April 8, 2006 Posted April 8, 2006 Personally, I'd be heart broken. I can't give up watching football though. I would follow the team where ever they go.
MarkyMannn Posted April 8, 2006 Posted April 8, 2006 I was a huge Braves fan. Once they left, I stopped following the NBA. Whats the point of following something that just betrayed you?

Whats the point of following something that just betrayed you? 656449[/snapback] The way I look at it is, the Bills players and coaches had nothing to do with it, so I will cheer them on where ever they go. I love football way too much to stop watching and I can't just select a new team to follow.
LabattBlue Posted April 8, 2006 Posted April 8, 2006 If the Bills ever leave WNY(and this includes a move to Toronto...screw them), I would lose my loyalty to them just like when the Braves left. If I had to pick a new team to declare my own, it would probably be Cleveland because of the close proximity to Buffalo. Regardless...I would still be a huge NFL fan.
cantankerous Posted April 8, 2006 Posted April 8, 2006 Where's the "this is a complete overreaction" option?
X. Benedict Posted April 8, 2006 Posted April 8, 2006 I would probably mourn them more than a little bit and then... for me, that would be it. I'd no longer watch the NFL. There would be no suitable replacement - and my football viewing would switch entirely to Saturdays.
dreadlox Posted April 8, 2006 Posted April 8, 2006 my hatred of miami and new england would keep me watching, but i don't think i would follow the team in its new form.nor do i see myself picking a new team. i'd still just hate the same teams i hate now.
beerme1 Posted April 8, 2006 Posted April 8, 2006 I would leave WNY. And then the Sabres will also. Last one here please turn the river off.
Ramius Posted April 8, 2006 Posted April 8, 2006 If they moved, i'd hate the entire AFC East, not just 3 of the teams.
stevestojan Posted April 8, 2006 Posted April 8, 2006 Go Browns. Simple as that. It's always been my backup plan. That, and getting my Bills tattoo removed

Besides, I don't think the rest of the NFLPU members would want to be paying Canadian taxes on their income earned on any given Sunday north of the border. JMHO
ndirish1978 Posted April 8, 2006 Posted April 8, 2006 You guys are fairweather. I'm a Bills fan, Buffalo or not and that will never change.
Dan Posted April 8, 2006 Posted April 8, 2006 You guys are fairweather. I'm a Bills fan, Buffalo or not and that will never change. 656546[/snapback] So if you were in Houston... would you be a Titans fan now, and not a Texans fan??
LabattBlue Posted April 8, 2006 Posted April 8, 2006 How could The Bills possibly make more money in Toronto? 656520[/snapback] Because you have hundreds of businesses in Toronto that could afford suites(unlike in Buffalo) no matter what the owner would charge and invidiuals who would pony up for inflated ticket prices and PSL's on top of that. This would assume that Toronto build a football stadium that holds more than the skydome.
ajzepp Posted April 8, 2006 Posted April 8, 2006 I'm sure I'd do my best to remain a fan during and after the move, but I think where they end up will have a lot to do with how long I stick with them. If they move to LA, I think I'd sort of 'fade away' as a fan. I'll always love the NFL, that won't ever change. But no Bills in Buffalo? Wow, that would just be devastating. I think anyone who either grew up in that area, or lives there now, would just be totally devastated. I moved to Rochester when I was 12 years old (early 1985) and lived there for ten years. Those are some pretty damn significant years of your life growing up, and the Bills were a huge part of it.
NorthWesternBill Posted April 8, 2006 Posted April 8, 2006 I hope they move to portland!!!!!!!!! i will be a bills fan for as long as they exist!! people are crazy you will not stop watching football it's too good.
Lori Posted April 8, 2006 Posted April 8, 2006 All right, 'fess up -- you guys who didn't choose the 'mass assassination' response are lying.
CajunBillsBacker Posted April 8, 2006 Posted April 8, 2006 I've got no connections to the city of Buffalo or state of New York, so i'd follow them ONLY if they dropped the "Bills" for another name, because that just wouldn't make sense with any other city. What the hell would the logo be for the Los Angeles Bills? Surely it can't be a charging Buffalo anymore.
Dan Posted April 8, 2006 Posted April 8, 2006 people are crazy you will not stop watching football it's too good. 656583[/snapback] Incorrect. Without the Buffalo Bills, football would be just like all other sports, something I MAY watch during the playoffs and Superbowl. On the plus side I'd be talking to my wife or working on my house right now, instead of sitting on a football message board. Damn, my life would suck.
