  1. Maybe we really woulda been better off if the Canadians and feather bangs bought the Bills. If we stayed in Buffalo we would have to be in a better situation than this. If they moved to Canada we woulda had a good reason to finally stop cheering for these losers. Pegula might be a billionaire but he seems like he is a total moron when listening to him talk. He seems like a slow adult quite honestly.

    Whoa Whoa Whoa!!! We don't want this mess!

    Won't be helping them this year

    I think Vikings. Bridgewater is solid enough and had a bright future, but it isn't like he is a touchdown machine.

     

    They also have the Bills' schedule from last year, playing the AFC South and NFC East. Also 4 games vs the Bears and Lions.

     

    Denver is in a pretty tough AFC West and may take a few body shots.

     

     

    Bills and Browns, lol.

  3. Some certainly do appreciate it, some sing, some cover their hearts, but that doesn't mean it belongs at domestic sporting events. Every game I hear 'take your hat off !@#$' being yelled at other fans, I see people far more caught up in their cell phones, beer etc.. I don't think faking respect for the anthem beats sitting down for it. And there sure have been some great moments where Canadian/American fans have sung the anthems when the speaker systems have failed in arenas, but you're introducing a situation with two anthems and two different countries* not the same as an NFL game.

    *hockey games between Toronto and Buffalo involved in the same league, representing two cities, not countries, but I get your point.

     

    I don't know what you see, but I see most people standing up. Quite a few appreciate it. Not to mention the Oh Canada anthem is sung at some events such as the Sabres games.

  4. I still don't get why National anthems are played before domestic sporting events in Canada and the USA. The anthems make sense when countries are competing, Olympics, World Cups, CONCACAF soccer tournaments etc... but they make no sense to me when an American football team is playing an American football team. When I was young the anthem was played before movies and before the school day started. That has since stopped. Why do sporting events hold onto to this?

     

    As for the Buffalo Bills 10 - 15K of the fans are from Canada, of the remaining 58K that are likely Americans a great number can't be bothered to remove their hats, stop talking, texting, taking photos, going on beer runs etc... What's the difference between any of this and a guy sitting down? I don't see widespread respect of the anthem from fans black, white or otherwise at games. Many just endure the anthem and wait for it to be over, or perhaps to hope for a fly over. I'd like to see the anthem playing stopped at domestic sporting events.
