papazoid Posted November 6, 2014 Share Posted November 6, 2014 (edited) As for the Bills-In-Toronto series, the Pegulas are ready to end it. "We're working on that right now," Kim said. "We want all the home games to be played in Buffalo, so we're working through that. I think it's close, but nothing's been finalized. But that is our intent." http://pro32.ap.org/article/bills-owners-commit-new-home Edited December 3, 2014 by papazoid Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PromoTheRobot Posted November 6, 2014 Share Posted November 6, 2014 That probably means one game a year in London. You're partly right, you grumpy old man, you. The Bills will likely have at least one London game in the next two years because every team has to go once. Only question will it be a home or road game?

Mr. WEO Posted November 6, 2014 Share Posted November 6, 2014 Glad to see the Pegulas saw this as the abomination--the slap in the face of Buffalo fans that it has from day one and their first act was to undue this nonsense. It is just one benefit of having an owner who doesn't have to grab for money, no matter the "cost".... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YoloinOhio Posted November 6, 2014 Share Posted November 6, 2014 it will be a home game vs Pats*. Obviously. at first I said this as a joke considering they tend to not play division games in London.

Canadian Bills Fan Posted November 6, 2014 Share Posted November 6, 2014 (edited) Ha! Take that Toronto! You try and steal our franchise with a $#! rock star and failed. Now, not only have you lost out on our franchise but we are also taking away anything NFL from your city! Hamilton, ON Sorry we just spent all our money on "Tim Hortons Stadium" We have nothing left I am hoping for a dome stadium on the Harbor front CBF Edited November 6, 2014 by Canadian Bills Fan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

YoloinOhio Posted November 6, 2014 Share Posted November 6, 2014 @SalSports: Don't be shocked if Bills are announced as a 2015 London game participant. If it happens, most likely will be the game "at" Jacksonville. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

May Day 10 Posted November 6, 2014 Share Posted November 6, 2014 Buffalo can be like Notre Dame and play like 8 home games, 2 away games and the rest neutral site (within a few hundred miles of South Bend, I mean Buffalo) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tyrod's Tailor Posted November 6, 2014 Share Posted November 6, 2014 I'd love to face the Pats* in London even if it's a home game. Anything to get NE out of their comfort zone, which they clearly have found in WNY over the years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They hate the Sabres and that hatred for Buffalo poisoned the Bills in Toronto series from the very beginning.
