Hopefully things will change when Terry Pegula is the new owner.

Hopefully things will change when Terry Pegula is the new owner.

While the run defense looks better, the rest of it looks much worse, especially the pass defense.

Did I say 6-10, I'm sorry, I meant 2-14. This team is unbearable to watch.

This is embarrassing on so many levels

The Bills hired the wrong coach. They should have hired Lovie Smith.

Another 6-10 season

Enough of the runs and the short dump off passes!!!

Schonert got fired 10 days before the season opener, it would be great to see the same thing to happen to Hackett

This offense sucks!!!

http://www.wgr550.com/Watkins--Branch-and-Kyle-Williams-among-Bills-inac/9034669?pid=422941 "In addition to Watkins, defensive tackle Alan Branch (undisclosed), defensive tackle Kyle Williams (leg), guard Chris Williams (lower back), tight end Tony Moeaki (hamstring), safety Jonathan Meeks (neck), cornerback Mario Butler (ankle) and cornerback Bobby Felder (groin) all will not play on Saturday against the Buccaneers." I remember reading that KW was held out of practice due to a leg injury, but I didn't see anything saying what part of the leg (or which) and how severe the injury is. I hope the injury isn't serious and won't linger on in the regular season like his bone spur/achillies tendon did for two seasons.

The mods ask that we only posted a few quoted lines from the article, so if you read the first half of the article, Kryk states his sources say all bids were over $1Billion.

I have to lean heavily towards Kryk on this one as he and John Wawrow have been two reliable sources, as Ozanian does not seem that he is knowledgable with the Buffalo Bills, the Buffalo area, or football in general. Ozanian seems to be more for the large financial numbers of the transaction. It's obvious that Ozanian's agenda is to see the Bills sold for a record number, especially after seeing the L.A. Clippers receive a $2 Billion dollar bid. Ozanian knows that the Bills will not sell for $2 Billion or close to that range as long as the team is in Western New York, so by posting lower numbers in his article, he's hoping to see the bidding process stopped and have the NFL step in and try to force Morgan Stanley to stop the bidding process and start all over with a new bank, with no restrictions on moving the Bills to of Western New York, so they can be sold for that record amount in Los Angeles or Toronto.

Even though it was only $70 million behind front-runner Pegula, and $18 million ahead of Trump? And then why are Toronto group principals mulling right now whether to pull the plug on their bid effort? Who pulls out when they're that close? Even if Forbes' Pegula bid amount is the only one correct, then so much of what has been reported over the past month regarding the sale would be undermined. Think about what that would mean."

John Kryk calls into question the Forbes report: http://www.torontosun.com/2014/08/22/toronto-group-bid-more-than-1-billion-for-bills-which-calls-into-question-forbes-report "When the Toronto group comprising rocker Jon Bon Jovi, MLSE chairman Larry Tanenbaum and the Rogers family resubmitted their first-round bid on Aug. 5 (after their initial offer of July 29 was rejected, in part for being uncompetitively low) I reported even before the group sent it in that the new amount was "probably between $1 billion and $1.1 billion. I now know for a fact that that amount is exactly correct. In their preliminary valuations, Bills bidders were allowed to provide either a specific number or a narrow range, and the trio revised its valuation up to a range of precisely $1 billion to $1.1 billion, I can report with certainty."

Initial bids are supposed to be low, as they are not the final bid. Expect the final bids to be higher. IMO, the team will sell in the range of $950M-$1.11B.

http://profootballta...-to-collapsing/ "The clearest objective evidence regarding the coming collapse of the attempt to buy the Bills comes from the cancellation of a Wednesday tour of Ralph Wilson Stadium. It’s part of the due diligence process for all finalists, and with the tour canceled and not expected to be rescheduled, it will be impossible for the Bon Jovi bid to be accepted." So it looks like it's time to turn out the lights, because for Bon Jovi and the Toronto group, the partys over!!

Adam Benigni ‏@AdamBenigni 1h Source close to #Bills sale insists Tom Golisano has submitted indicative bid. Second source says he did not - conflicting info.@wgrz

http://blogs.canoe.c...ss-sources-say/ "One source said that barring a significant development, or reformation of the group, the Toronto trio is likelier to disband than submit a binding, definitive bid early next month along with the other finalists."

I try and base it off of who has been reporting info the most accurately. John Wawrow has been a very reliable source, same with John Kryk. Tim Graham has been hit or miss.

If you don't believe what's being reported then good for you.

It's been reported numerous times from numerous sources.

I doubt the validity of the article. The Bon Jovi/Toronto group's first bid was rejected because it was deemed too low, and the author is claiming their bid was the second highest (above Trump's bid). If that was the case, then why didn't Trump's bid get rejected as it's lower that Bon Jovi's?

Buffalo Rumblings did a great interview with John Wawrow of the Associated Press. In that interview, John stated that if Terry Pegula were to win the bid, that he could possibly overpay for the Bills (like he did when he bought the Sabres) and bid at $1.11B, which would still make the sale the highest in the NFL. John also stated the Bills could be sold at $950M, so if the reports from Forbes are correct, then the final bid could be around $950M. http://www.buffalorumblings.com/2014/8/19/6044337/john-wawrow-associated-press-buffalo-bills-sale-training-camp In regards to the guy writing for Forbes, he wrote earlier in the year that it was a no-brainer for the Toronto group to bid $1.2B and move the team to Toronto as Toronto is a growing city, so it’s apparent this guy is not knowledgeable in football and don’t take what he writes seriously.
