i think its actually more the league, rather than L A per se. i know the league will not admit that, but we all know they want a team there strictly for the T V ratings. its all about advertising revenue based on market size, all that mumble . again, i do not think buffalo has to worry. the stadium can, and will if need be, upgraded. there is money to buy it from ralph. i just think the negativity that the media thrives on, gets the masses worked up, is just causing worry, worry that is manifesting itself into a sense of possible reality that should not exist

i do not think it is realistic to think of the area getting a new stadium in niagara falls, or anywhere. as an earlier poster said, money will, and should, be poured into the ralph . its there and seems to have the infrastructure to be able to sustain the upgrades. any "pie in the sky" stadium building would happen on the buffalo waterfront. again, it is reality, but i respect other's right to speculate.

why the big deal of hosting a super bowl? do not get it! i want the long term future of the bills secured in buffalo. i think , realistically that happens due to the ralph, and if need be, improvements to it. who gives a sh-t about an elitist crowd, its really football's version amateur hour. i think football essentially ends with the conference championship games(if the bills arent in the super bowl).

i think the ralph clears out well, considering the amount of people consistently attending. i think the tailgating helps a great deal, both before and after games. i cannot imagine those snooty pat's fans, liberal new englander's , knowing how to tailgate. i am sure they are more concerned about the "dangers" of charcoal, than actually enjoying life!

get him signed russ!,, the start of a defense that will bring an attitude.. sign him NOW!

really? last time i checked, i have not heard of anyone remotely interested in moving to portland or louisville. how could a better economy translate into picking up stakes to actually move there? not enough to justify a move. better economy?, does that mean psl's, a debt load from a presumed new stadium?.. i think it is "divorced from reality " to think in those terms.
-
i respectfully disagree. the way the economy is, i do not believe this team just picks up and moves. where? forget LA, toronto?, i suspect they are obvious places, but will never happen. there are too many factors tipping the scales in buffalo's favor. if L A does get a team , it will be the jags, then what?, what other cities can owners use as leverage? please do not say san antonio. jerry jones would never let it happen. so where else could they go?

i know the stadium is not within the city limits of buffalo. i was an original season ticket holder. my point is the "chicken little" mentality that some on here seem to be espousing. the stadium carries no debt for the owner , or new owner. just because its not what dallas built does not mean its outgrown it's usefullness. the bills, rightfully so, sell the game day experience, there is no better place to tailgate than in, and around the ralph. when the players start walking down the tunnel before kickoff, its exciting(as in most stadiums), but in buffalo, the wind, the snow, the beautiful late fall days, what is not to like. i think they should raise the ticket prices, do whatever takes, but keep much the same.

i cannot believe the B S i am reading on here!, the ralph is a great venue for football. its buffalo! its tailgating. no sterile dome is needed, build some luxury boxes where the current press box sits, as they were going to, and be done with it!.. no WNY , OR NIAGARA FALLS BILLS!what is the matter with some of you. buffalo is unique , the experience on game days is great, why change it? i think some on here are trying to be way to trendy.

Anyone else feel the SB was boring?
dwight in philly replied to SuperBills12's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
i agree, no rooting interest, or a team to root against, just made it ho-hum for me. i know it will never happen, but i hate the starting time. i like sunday afternoon games, 4 o'clock would be ideal. in addition, i know its been a long time, but having the bills in would obviously help!. all playoff games up to the super bowl are actually the best, no staged feel, just football. that being said, all the domes in the playoffs sucked , love the weather being a factor, seeing the breath of the players, snow, i sure hope that outdoor football does not become a thing of the past! -
porter and thomas likely to be cut
dwight in philly replied to dwight in philly's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
yea, my point is i want our defense to have an edge, an identity. for once i would like to see a team from buffalo have the nastiness, toughness, that goes with the town. the sabres are pussies, the bills have no identity. just once i would like to hear the rest of football acknowledge the toughness of the bills in some form. -
pft is reporting both joey porter and adulius thomas are going to be cut soon. i think both would bring the attitude we are looking for the defense to have..

1981 Bills v. Jets Wildcard game
dwight in philly replied to Pennsyl-tucky's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
you really forget what a great era the knox one was! i maintain that if fergy did not get hurt in the san diego game the year before, they go to the super bowl and win. had they beat san diego, they would have hosted the raiders the following week and im sure they would have beaten them, then the eagles in the super bowl. still think about those teams. -
Most Hated Team in the NFL
dwight in philly replied to youngjebrey's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
it is the cowboys solely because of jones. in buffalo he is the anti-christ, possible reason we are fretting over the long term future of the bills. since he came in, it has been nothing but a culture of greed in the N F L. -
Leading Bid for Rams from Toronto
dwight in philly replied to Gabe Northern's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
I tend to believe that a threat of toronto getting the rams will have little effect on the bills situation.i say let it play itself out. they have no stadium and in addition, the possibilty of politicans going to court to protect the CFL interests exist. the bills and the fans should concentrate on protecting our interests. i see a defeatist attitude by some members of the media that was never there a few years ago. it seems to get fans in a negative mindset also. i truly believe there is enough money in the area , (one way or another) to secure the franchise after wilson dies. the only reason it is not being done proactively is wilson, obviously. the NFL goes out of their way to be the "LEAGUE", no willy nilly franchise shifts, teams having goofy nicknames(wild, heat, lightning) and to let a storied franchise just disappear would go against their history and overall image.
