The Big Cat Posted March 15, 2009 Share Posted March 15, 2009 http://blogs.nfl.com/2009/03/15/to-manning...ame-in-toronto/ Thoughts? Love it. Let the "NFL" fans of Canada shell out to see two of the league's most recognizable players. Let them have a game that we're likely to lose, and to little consequence.

lets_go_bills Posted March 15, 2009 Author Share Posted March 15, 2009 I like it more than putting one of our divisional opponents there. Divisional games are so important, we need to have them at home. Our real home. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
auburnbillsbacker Posted March 15, 2009 Share Posted March 15, 2009 I would love to see Manning play again. Putting Manning in a dome, does not sound favorable to us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BuffaloBill Posted March 15, 2009 Share Posted March 15, 2009 http://blogs.nfl.com/2009/03/15/to-manning...ame-in-toronto/ Thoughts? I would guess that Indy does not have a big following in TO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's a lot of people in Toronto, so you can bet there's quite a few bandwagon jumpers there who love 'em because they win more football games than they lose.

They may not be that good this year because of the housecleaning they had to do to get out of cap jail. Peyton will keep them competitive but they may not be the Colts of the past decade. Hard to say. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Numark Posted March 15, 2009 Share Posted March 15, 2009 I would rather us play Houston, Cleveland, New Orleans, or Tampa Bay. Reason being is I don't want to play in division games in toronto first and foremost. I would really rather not play the colts in a dome as opposed to RWS, and that leaves those 4 teams. However, saints just palyed an over-seas game last year, Tamba bay and Cleveland may be too bring of games, and not many people care about the texans. So I guess bring on the colts, it should be the most exciting game of all 8 choices, plus we don't play a division game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
marauderswr80 Posted March 15, 2009 Share Posted March 15, 2009 Im kinda mad, I wanted to see Payton Manning play in person. I refuse to go to Toronto and support the team there. Sorry. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I like seeing the NFC opponents because they only come to town once every eight years! Im kinda mad, I wanted to see Payton Manning play in person. I refuse to go to Toronto and support the team there. Sorry. Yeah, guys like Manning are the ones you wanna see in person. Plus puttin those dome teams outside makes me feel all warm and fuzzy.

bills_fan_in_raleigh Posted March 15, 2009 Share Posted March 15, 2009 http://blogs.nfl.com/2009/03/15/to-manning...ame-in-toronto/ Thoughts? can some explain how a sunday game earlier in the season conflicts with CFL? Doesnt the CFL play on fridays and saturdays??? I like the idea of an out of division opponent however Peyton should have to play in the Ralph not the Toronto dome.

Chandler#81 Posted March 15, 2009 Share Posted March 15, 2009 Putting Manning in a dome, does not sound favorable to us. Agreed. I'd have preferred Tampa Bay or Houston, but I understand needing to sell the game. With these Tron-o games always being after the CFL season, at least we know we'll have one 'homer' late, in great weather that suits a good passing game. Yes, I think we're going to be a good passing team. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phlegm Alley Posted March 15, 2009 Share Posted March 15, 2009 I guess if the NFL wants to market the game beyond the traditional US borders, having the presence of Peyton Manning, whose face is all over the TV during football season, makes a lot of sense. It just works incredibly to our disadvantage. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shanahan's Horseshoe Posted March 15, 2009 Share Posted March 15, 2009 Great, let's play a team that calls 100% of it's offense at the line in a dome with no noise instead of at The Ralph! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Never NEVER Give-up Posted March 15, 2009 Share Posted March 15, 2009 I'd rather see us play an NFC opponent there. We're already losing the home field advantage, I hate to lose it to an AFC Team who we may ultimately be battling for a wild card slot. If we play & lose to an NFC team, it wouldn't be as detrimental to our playoff hopes. Frankly, I'm surprised the Bills don't request an NFC opponent for these reasons!

KD in CA Posted March 15, 2009 Share Posted March 15, 2009 I guess if the NFL wants to market the game beyond the traditional US borders, having the presence of Peyton Manning, whose face is all over the TV during football season, makes a lot of sense. It just works incredibly to our disadvantage. That's right. I think everyone can expect the Toronto game each year to feature either a marquee team like the Pats*, Fish or Giants, or a highly recognizable star like Manning.

Just Jack Posted March 15, 2009 Share Posted March 15, 2009 can some explain how a sunday game earlier in the season conflicts with CFL? Doesnt the CFL play on fridays and saturdays??? I like the idea of an out of division opponent however Peyton should have to play in the Ralph not the Toronto dome. They need time to cover up the lower bowl seats and repaint the lines on the field. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
