SF Bills Fan

I feel nothing

I'm in Niners and Raiders country. Don't care for either and ignore both.

I know what it was...Marrone likes Duffs wings and Whaley is partial to the Anchor Bar.

We already had him once

Joe- how many 6 packs have you had today?

If not for the lease terms and the opposition from fans and the political firestorm it woukd ignite, one of those LA guys the Buffalo news mentioned last week that kicked tires would have paid well over market price and won. The lease is what is keeping the price low.

Spot on article there. Being from the area, he has very keen insight. Agreed on the downtown stadium.

I think if Marrone wins he is safe

Good god- it is preseason but they are already making me drink like we are in the middle of a awful losing December. Good bye yellow brick road....

Good point- I would be shocked if the series continued. I feel Rogers only signed on thinking that they would get the team eventually and wanted to showcase TO as an NFL hungry city. At this point, I think we can all agree Pegula will be buying the team. I would imagine he will try to demonstrate his complete loyalty to Buffalo by having no games in Toronto and Rogers would not want to line the pockets of the guy that beat him out in the Bills sweepstakes, anyway.

There would be a market. People wear jerseys with any name on it. I remember meeting a guy in Tempe at the Bills Sunday night game there (many years ago) and he had a jersey with Mustaine on the back and the number referred to his favorite Megadeath album. I think El Pegual would be solid.

This is exactly as I see it

This article is pretty accurate. It has been an awful 3-4 decades. Local politics and the high taxes and cost of doing business has taken it's toll. But, things do seem to be turning around. Tax breaks and incentives like the kind that will lure Solarcity to build their plant at the Riverbend site are the kind of things that places like Dallas and Charlotte have done for years. They have been buying away jobs from Buffalo, Cleveland and other rust belt cities for years, so it is nice to see the state finally getting a clue. Obviously, the NFL long ago outgrew Buffalo and retaining the Bills is a small victory and we are lucky to have people willing to step up. But bringing jobs in and turning things around will justify keeping them there in the long run. I'm cautiously optimistic for the future of Buffalo. The area is far from being out of the woods, but at least you don't hear wolves howling anymore.

I get the impression that the NFL would not be unhappy if the Jags relocated once their lease is up/. they have am ore prohibitive one than the Bills just put in place. I think the comments from Goodell are positive in that he wants to see the Bills remain long term. Hopefully, he puts his money where his mouth is and we get a 200 million loan from the NFL for the stadium like other cities. the fact they don't pressure Jacksonville tells me that he would be OK with Kahn moving the team to London or LA when the time is right.

It's under the 800 foot Fatima Shrine Arch on the water. You can't see it?

Granted he is not playing against starters, but he is making plays. Passes looks crisp and accurate.

1st pass was complete. Tried a run- a designed play- at 3rd and 1 and was denied. Looks poised.

If JBJ had actually gained control of the team or even had a chance, then it woukd be an insult to play that. As it is, he has zero chance. They should play the Empire Theme from Empire Strikes Back in honor of Pegula since he is about to dominate Buffalo sports and the downtown with a new downtown stadium and new skyscrapers like Charlotte.

He won that game- he deserves credit. Then a questionable lateral combined with a massive breakdown on special teams happened that gave credibility to that silly play and stole our win. I always wonder if Flutie would have won it with enough that would have left no margin for error at the end. Crazy to think we could have gone to the Super bowl that year- we win that game and we had a good chance. That was a dark day.

Bon Jovi underestimated just how hard it would be to relocate the Bills from a financial standpoint as well as the huge loyal fan base that would mobilize. He probably thought the Toronto guys could not be beat and now realizes too late that he is with the wrong group. He should have approached Trump or Golisano. I don't think Pegula woukd have wanted anyone else involved.

He looks good tonight! I think he will kick cancer's ass

Both Kimmel and Radcliffe just gained big respect. More so Radcliffe since Kimmel was already highly respected.

Can we lift the Bon Jovi ban? I propose we invite him to play at the first home game this year.

San Antonio would not be a good market. I think it is too much in the Cowboy camp. This seems like silly posturing, anyway. The Raiders should and, I believe, will love back to LA

Agreed- the cat is out of the bag.
