How did you get to be so authoritative about who has what roles in the Toronto series? And please don't say you follow the press reports - those are written by outsiders looking in.

Well played.

Tweets from whom? Anyone credible?

If the Bills end up with 8 home games at RWS, it will be interesting to see if the season ticket holders cheer the demise of the Toronto series, or whine about the cost increase.

You lost me at "would get raised to Ralph". I don't see any scenario where Mr. Wilson makes decisions about running the team.

Well played Yolo. With regard to GR's coverage or lack thereof, they could not be more wrong about their audience. We feast on every morsel of info about every last nook and cranny of the Bills organization. And clearly this "story" cries out for clarification from the Bills org. For Schopp and the Bulldog to decline to discuss it, or for Howard Simon to not ask Brandon about this when he's on the air, would be a disservice to the fans. It's got 20+ pages here and has made the national press via the Yahoo Sports story - it's far more interesting than the last Sabres' loss.

It's disturbing to me that a source was willing to speak on the record about this coach-FO rift to TG. If there's a staff purge this week, we'll either know who the leak was or who won the power struggle.

^This.

Thanks guys. I'm using an iPhone 4 but haven't had any problems with live streaming until recently. Although the live streaming isn't working, the audio vault still works fine and will have to be my fallback for the time being.

I saw the same thing at SJF on the days I went. Would be interesting to know his status, I thought he played fairly well in his rookie year when pressed into service.

I try to stay in touch with Buffalo sports with my daily fix of WGR streaming on my way into work, but for the last week or so, all it does is buffer endlessly. Anyone having similar problems or have a suggestion? Possibly deinstalling the app and then reinstalling? Thanks.

Very sorry to hear of your loss. I am sure that she is now in a better place and one day you will join her there when your work here is done.

OP, what leads you to think the Bills are looking for a smaller, mobile guard? Recent picks and the failed Legursky experiment (who was signed out of desperation in my opinion) tell me that the Bills prefer larger OLs.

Interesting analysis - nice work! Just understand, asking this fan base to maintain perspective is a very tall order. I happen to believe that if EJ can stay healthy, he's going to be good.

OP or anyone else, please explain why shinier is better in the Buffalo market. Educate me. Where does RWS come up short, specifically for a new owner?

Cooley has an interesting take. I see Chandler as a one hit and down guy with good hands but minimal elusiveness.

How exactly is the stadium run down? Lack of premium boxes and suites? Really, even after the new dugout suites were installed all around the stadium? I think if you ask the sales department, they'll tell you there are more than enough suites and premium seating to more than satisfy the demand. The Buffalo market simply doesn't have the corporate community to warrant more suites.

So are you up for PSL's?

Would love to see a link on that one.

OP, I agree with your overall point but some of the evidence you present to support your premise is very weak. Hiring a QB coach and a WR coach is hardly evidence of Marrone hedging against Hackett's failing. It's called building a staff that was undermanned last year without a QB coach. On the other hand, there's no question that Hostler has OC ambitions and I like that - it definitely incentivizes Hackett to succeed.

I think it's interesting that, per Brandon's statement, a "substantial renovation of RWS" is still in play as an alternate option to a new stadium. Does anyone know if the recent study done by HOK (I think that's the name of the firm) assessed the viability of this vs. a new venue?

Yes it's viewable. Nicely done.

To clarify, I've been a consistent supporter of the Bills' regionalization efforts, I understand and support their obvious need to mine the Toronto market, and I urge Bills fans to drop their customary short-sightedness and insularity when it comes to the Bills trying to expand their market. But that's a long way from declaring the Toronto series successful in these regards. I'm quite sure I've never done that. Well then, it appears to be settled.

That does not a correlation make.

How so? What exactly has the series accomplished for Rogers except revealing how tepid Toronto fans' support is for the NFL product?
