Alright since I am the wiseass who started taking this thread in a different direction than the OP intended. Yes I think the Bills could win a tough road game. The defense needs to keep pressure on Eli and continue to get timely INTs. BTW nice write up, but I think the game will be a lot closer and be decided on the final possession.

If the Bills win Sunday...Yes

Well done sir, well done. Fell for that hook, line and sinker!!!!!

This does not seem like a move the Bills would make. But for the right price go for it.

Wait a minute a national writer mentioned the Bills as a playoff team??!!

I think the NFL will probably want a few more regular season games in Toronto.

Congrats, this will be the first of many

I believe Nov 6th is the first day of flex scheduling

I don't think any NYS Money went into the financing of MetLife Stadium. However there is the matter of two brand new baseball stadiums being built in NYC, both which received public funds. The other issue is will the NYS Senate and Assembly agree to financing upgrades a private football stadium when budget cuts are forcing the layoffs of teachers and cuts to other services. During last year budget talks there was an article about an assemblywoman downstate being upset about the Bills receiving state money. Sorry could not find the link.

Baumer thanks for the update. Do you know if there is a contingency plan in place if case one of the investors is deemed unsuitable? After reading the Buffalo Rising article and hearing terms such junk bonds, over leveraged, and toxic assets to describe his business dealings, I doubt the NFL would allow him to be the principal owner. Any information would be appreciated.

You are right he will be suspended when the play the New England and the Jets.

I doubt the NFL would approve Gillett as an owner based on his track record. Hopefully Kelly has a Plan B or Buffalo Baumer's Brother In Law can come thru.

I am sure that Colts Fans would disagree!!!

Kamar Aiken to the 53 man roster next?

Who is Colin Cowherd?

It should be Freddie, but my fear is that the NFL Writers who vote have a serious man crush on Aaron Rodgers

Its nice to see that after picking in the top five for the past ten NFL drafts finally paid off for the Lions. All kidding aside the job that Nix, Gailey and the coaching staff has done is remarkable.

Gillett is not an ideal owner, but a poorly run franchise is better than no franchise at all. Besides WGR mentioned this AM his worth is only 250 million, not enough to buy the team by himself. Hopefully the NFL will allow this then.

He can't own the Bruins and the Bills.

My favorite stats are these 4-1 record and 1st place in the AFC East!!

From Wikipedia On January 22, 2008, a majority of Liverpool fans, at the game between Liverpool and Aston Villa, protested against Gillett and Hicks' running of the club, urging the pair to sell their shares in Liverpool FC to Dubai International Capital (DIC). Neither owner, nor their representative Foster Gillett were present at the game. Gillett has reportedly been targeted by DIC to sell his shares. It has been reported that he has fallen out with Tom Hicks and in recent months has kept silent over his dealing with the club.[12] On March 7, 2008, it was reported that Gillett had agreed to sell 98 per cent of his Liverpool stock to DIC,[13] but Hicks blocked the sale.[14] In an interview on Prime Time Sports in Canada, Gillett revealed that he and his family had received death threats from angry Liverpool fans: "The fans don’t want him [Tom Hicks] to have even one share of my stake in the club, based on what they are sending to me. As a result of that we [my family] have received many phone calls in the middle of the night threatening our lives, death threats. A number came to the office and my son, Foster, and daughter-in-law, Lauren, have received them."[15] The relationship between Gillett and Hicks broke down some time ago, leading to civil war breaking out at Anfield.[16] Get the I-190 billboards ready.

NFL rules prevent any owner from owning two franchises in different cities even if they are in different leagues. Pegula has stated how shocked he has been by the response of WNYers after he bought the Sabres. So hopefully it continues with the eventual purchase of the Buffalo Bills.

Thanks for the info Doc. Wasn't there a push a few years ago by the NCAA to screen athletes with 2-D Echoes to help aid with earlier detection of HOCM, but it was determined to be too expensive. My freshman year of high school we had someone die of this during football practice.

Wait a minute, what is the down payment? Are tax, title and first months payment due at signing?

Western Union, Pony Express, or just the cheapest way possible
