  1. I totally agree, Glenn is a top 5 LT, who gets better by the minute. Show the man the respect he deserves. Rookies play where they are told, Mathews, Lewan or Robinson will be playing RT, unless Cordy gets hurt.
  2. Buffalo Pride.... is the term you're looking for.
  3. I live out of town, and I would like it if someone could post photos of the construction that is happening at the Ralph. Maybe monthly photo or video updates to show fans the progress. Is there a Bills construction camera link? Appreciate any help.. thanks!
  4. Why do we have to rehash trades or things that didn't happen, is it because we then have something to complain about?
  5. If Trump should happen to buy the Buffalo Bills, he will also likely pull up a hotel or two in Western New York. He'd probably also be good for some money for the Arts in Buffalo and maybe even education. I bet you he also would buy up as much of the waterfront propetry as he could and redevelop it.
  6. okay Spiller is still a Bills player he wasn't traded, there's enough rumor and speculation running around western New York right now we don't need to whip up anymore drama close this thread please.
  7. Maybe the Bills after they move to Toronto, The ( insert new Bills team name here) agree to play 1 game at the Ralph each year and wear the throwbacks., and everyone can complain about how we lost the Bills,and what a cheap SOB Ralph was.
  8. Sorry but funerals don't count, everyone is nice at a funeral, nobody goes to funeral and tells you to your face your husband was a jackass its poor form. When Mrs. Wilson gets a call that says the XYZ Group wants to buy the Bills for $1 Billion Dollars do you think she is going to say, well you have to keep it in Buffalo, the New owner says sure ok I will, then he waits for the lease to run out,and see ya the Bills are out of here for Toronto or LA.
  9. Number 1, the only way there is a new lease is if the new owner signs a new lease. If the new owner doesn't sign a new lease that means that he or she probably doesn't want to keep the team in Buffalo. According to Wikipedia Buffalo is the 72nd largest city in the United States, At 259,000 a far cry from the 1950s when it was the 8th At over 580,000. Put another way over 300,000 people have left Buffalo since the 1950s. My family has all left for Florida, California and the Carolina's like thousands of others. The NFL is the only professional sports franchise of the big four that does not have teams in Canada NBA,Major League Baseball and of course the NHL all have teams in Canada. As far as getting approval from the NFL owners it's going to come down the money do you think the NFL owners are going to make more money in Buffalo or Toronto or Los Angeles with revenue sharing. Sure it's all sad, we all see the decline in Western New York and it's not just Greater Buffalo its Jamestown, Olean,Dunkirk Salamanca, Wellsville. All those towns had an industrial base which is now all but gone. Jamestown New York use to be the furniture capital of the United States. If you had Jamestown furniture that was the cat's meow. Point of fact, the chairs the US Supreme Court Judges used to sit on including Justice Robert Jackson from Frewsburg were made in Jamestown. Now about the only furniture they make is Bush computer desks you buy at Wal-Mart. Until they find some New industry to replace those industrial Jobs in those core communities the downward spiral of Western New York will continue, and our children will leave WNY to find work in other states. If the jobs and people aren't here, why would the sports teams stay, if they could make more money in another part of the country.
  10. Busines law 101, when the terms of the contract have been met in year 10, and no new future contract with the city/county/state exist, there is nothing keeping the Bills in Buffalo. The owner can move the team with NFL approval. I know, that not its not what fans want to hear. But given the declining economic base and polulation of WNY you must face facts, that the new owners care about making money. I'm sure there is more money in Toronto or L.A. than Buffalo.
  11. Ok,the new owner of the Bills fulfills the terms of the 10 year deal. After the lease ends, he makes a deal to move the team to Toronto, who will have built a new stadium to replace the aging Skydome. No $400 million penalty. Bills fans are left holding the bag. NFL owners are tired of Buffalo, and like the idea of the move to Canada. Of course some legal stuff will happen someone will bring suit against the bills for moving and will have to hear about that for a while until the judge says they can move. Then its bye bye bills.
  12. He hasn't proven himself yet. He needs a big step forward 20 TD's min.
  13. You mean the same Rogers Centre that the Bills have played in for the last 5 year's? Toronto can afford a new stadium, to replace Skydome more than Buffalo.
  14. Ok, so if the Bon Jovi group buys the Bills, keeps them in Buffalo until year 7 then moves them to Toronto to the Already built Skydome. Erie County gets the 28 million, fans get the shaft, The NFL taps a new market with a population of 2.5 million.
  15. The NFL is the only major sports franchise without a Canadian connection. The NBA, NHL and MLB all have Canadian teams in their league. We may not like it but Buffalo leaving after the lease ends, or in the buyout year makes sense for the NFL. They know that Bills fans will complain about losing the team but thousands will drive to Toronto, or become fans of another NFL team like Pittsburg, Cleveland or the Giants. The NFL is all about making money. As far as Mary Wilson, she wants to sell for as much as she can, if that means the Bills leave Buffalo, do you think she really cares if she makes more in Toronto. The population of Toronto is 10 Times the size of Buffalo at 2.5 Million.
  16. If the Bills end up in Toronto they will have a whole new name, a whole new identity, they won't be the Buffalo Bills of Toronto. They come up with some new name new logo, uniform and brand. Governor Cuomo well likely slow down the sale of the Bills until after the election if it's going to be sold and moved out of town.
  17. I heard at the local coffee shop one of the local grape farmers in Silver Creek, wants to sell his land to the Bills to build a new stadium.
  18. Hands down Cordy Glenn, Kiko 2nd, Eric Wood 3rd.
  19. I was surprised that Jim Kelly didn't go to Roswell for his treatment, that are supposed to be a great Cancer facility.
  20. With all the empty and torn down structures, there has to be a place in the downtown for a Stadium.
  21. I spoke to my 72 yr old Mom tonight and she doesn't even watch football, and for a reason I can't explain she went to see this movie.
  22. According to whom? This board is full of rumors and speculations. Everyone wants an answer today, but it ain't happening.
  23. I gotta say I'm sick and tired of rumor an innuendo and somebody heard something from her brother's friend's cousin's wife who works in city Hall. Think about 5 years from now and the Bills haven't improved and their losing streak hits 20 years. The new owner whomever it will be, will use that $28 Million out clause faster than you can say Niagara Falls.
  24. After a home Bills loss to the Patriots, Drunk Bills fans will be flinging themselves over the Falls. Keep the Bills in Buffalo.
  25. No No the thousands of folks that come from Jamestown, Dunkirk, Olean, Slamanca, Fredonia, Busti, Lakewood, Findley Lake, Cassadaga each week to support the Bills, plus not to mention our friends down in Warren Pa, Sugar Grove, Youngsville and even those that come from Erie Pa.
