I will be going with the Bills Backers group out of the North Star. We'll have a bus, tickets and party of some sort. I'll actually be planning it with Mark, the bar owner. We will have a good group and we always get big crowds for the Bills and Sabres. I have a feeling this year might be the biggest one yet since the Niners and Bills should both be good. Lets keep in touch as the game gets closer and the plans become more clear.

Ah... a radio staring contest.

I went to that game. The stadium was great and the Bills destroyed the Seahawks. We went out in Seattle for a few nights and had a blast. I would go back for a game there in a heartbeat.

It has definitely cooled. If you recall, the main ownership group planned to announce that a team was moving to LA during the two weeks leading to a Super Bowl LAST YEAR. They also said The Bills and Jags were top targets before they realized they were not. I never thought the Bills were much for moving to LA anyway. The Rams, Raiders and Chargers are all far more likely. If the Bills truly do resurge this year and season tickets spike and the renovations to the Ralph are on track and a long term lease (that is tough to break) gets signed they will go nowhere. Two years ago none of those things seemed possible. Now they all seem possible. Plus there are several wealthy guys with the money and interest to keep them in Buffalo. The threat of a move to LA or TO is diminishing.

Cowboys at Giants on NBC to open 2012 NFL season
SF Bills Fan replied to papazoid's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
Great- another year with the mediocre and overexposed Cowboys getting primetime games they do not deserve. I predict they will grace us with at least 4 primetime games. -
Agreed, we were a team of all-Pros and Hall of Famers in the making and they were a good team, but not stand team out by any means. If you ranked all the teams that have won a Super Bowl, they would not be very high on the list. They over achieved that one day and we played sub-par at best (think of Andre's drop over the middle when he was wide open after the safety). Even with them playing the best possible game they could have played it was still in doubt to the very end with them all on their knees praying for divine intervention to make the ball go wide right.

Exactly. Thurman would have had 300 yards in that game if we did that. If NY adjusted to stop that, Kelly would have killed them in the air. We got outcoached plain and simple. Great now I am all worked up.

DE Mark Anderson in Buffalo (SIGNED)
SF Bills Fan replied to SKRAAPY's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
Quick- get him over to Jim's house and get some deer in the backyard. -
Three words "cue the deer".
-
It sounds like Jim was pretty influential in persuading Mario that Buffalo is a good place to live. And the nine deer in the backyard helped greatly. I can just see the scene at the house as Mario roles up....."Cue the deer"

Mario Williams: Officially a Buffalo Bill
SF Bills Fan replied to buffalo_bills's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
I was hoping someone took him to the Sabres game. That is one time you can count on downtown Buffalo being somewhat lively. Thurman is a regular at Sabres games too. -
Mario Williams: Officially a Buffalo Bill

Bravo.....and that concludes this thread -
This article was written by a travel writer. It is thinly disguised as a stadium ranking. San Francisco is the hands down worst stadium in the league and even the fans out here would love to have it blown up. She grudingly ranked Green Bay as #1 with the caveat that it is not a travel destination. Her editor probaly drew the line when she tried to rank San Diego as the best stadium. I can agree that Ralph wilson Stadium itself is not a great stadium, but the tailgating is great. There was a ridiculous artcile on Yahoo last year that ranked tailgating around the league and had the noted tailgating "hotspots" of Miami and Houston (where you cannot even tailgate) on the list and left off Buffalo.
-
so true. Last night was one of those performances that even Sharks fans had to grudgingly applaud. If you are a fan of hockey then you admire it no matter what team you root for. Miller delivered the win last night with a highlight reel. If we make the playoffs, he will be the reason.
-
Yeah- it was a great time. I don't think I have high fived that many people in my life. I saw little toddlers in Sabres gear all the way up to guys that were probably at the aud for the first Sabres game in 1970. It was good energy. It seems like they are getting some momentum. If Miller stays hot, maybe we can sneak and be dangerous?
-
Was at the game last night in SJ- Miller was awesome. Great showing by the Buffalo fans too. I saw a Korab jersey. It brings tears to the eyes.

Cops called to Merriman's Vegas room

It's not a party in Vegas until the cops show up -
Great article by Tim Graham in B News
SF Bills Fan replied to bananathumb's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
Interestingly, there was an article today in the St. Louis magazine with the same theme of "we must prepare for the innevitable loss". Actually, that article more or less states that the Rams move is a done deal and lists some compelling reasons. This article is not so gloomy. I think the Rams, Chargers and Raiders are all in far more danger of relocation. The Bills could certainly move, but I think that they- like the Vikings- are more likely to stay put. -
Exactly. It is almost too obvious
-
The Niners would be a perfect fit. They need receivers. Their best receiver this season was Vernon Davis. Crabtree is not getting it done.

When Ralph moves on there will be local interests that makes sure the Bills stay in Buffalo. The league will make sure someone local gets first crack. If not then the team will be open to outside bids but by that point the Rams or the Raiders or both will be in Los Angles and the Toronto thing is losing steam. It would make zero sense to move to Orlando, San Antonio or Portland as the market would not be vastly larger when you consider the fact that buffalo Rochester and Toronto are 5 million or so. Plus a new owner would need a new stadium in those places and they would make less than the team is now. When owners clamor that moving the bills to a bigger market would make more money i ask how so. Tv ratings in LA for the NFL would go up by .00005 percent over what they are now. The fans are already watching. If a bigger market is such a huge deal then why was Houston allowed to move to Nashville and The Rams to St. Louis? Did revenues and TV ratings go down when they did? At some point you just need to have stability and reward tradition. If the Bills went to Toronto I coukd envision late season games with no one in the stands especially if the team was bad. In Buffalo, the fans go because that is what they have done for 50 years. the author of that article is grasping this. Toronto should be happy with the one game they get. The Bills moving ? Slim chance. If I were a Rams fan I would be worried.

Brady just slammed the Buffalo area
SF Bills Fan replied to Yard Monkey's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
Who cares? I heard the downtown hotels were shabby until recently. I think they did a big upgrade on Hyatt and the new Embassy suites in the Avant is supposed to be really nice. With the Lafayette undergoing renovation and the Mansion on Delaware there are some great boutique options. If you complained now, it would show that you are too lazy or cheap to get a nice one . There is defitely a grain of truth to his statement though. I am sure he stayed in some crappy rooms at some point. -
This has been a pretty entertaining game
