The Real Buffalo Joe Posted November 6, 2014 Share Posted November 6, 2014 There are no reasons to compromise or continue the series in any way. It's going to be over and good riddance. This is just hypothetical. To be honest, I don't know why Rogers agreed to extend the series. They were the ones losing money. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ALF Posted November 6, 2014 Share Posted November 6, 2014 At least London , a neutral site with 80,000 enthusiastic fans seems ok . A preseason game a year in Toronto would be ok if it could sell enough tickets. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
May Day 10 Posted November 6, 2014 Share Posted November 6, 2014 This is just hypothetical. To be honest, I don't know why Rogers agreed to extend the series. They were the ones losing money. I believe it is on record that the new deal was for much less money, which the amount was never disclosed publicly this time... which infuriated me even more, especially on the heels of Brandon's all about winning/no stone unturned speech,.

A preseason game a year in Toronto would be ok if it could sell enough tickets. That's one of the good sides of the deal. From a financial standpoint, Rogers paid the team a flat fee, and we made the same amount no matter how many tickets were sold. I could be wrong about that, but I know I read that in a few places.

26CornerBlitz Posted November 6, 2014 Share Posted November 6, 2014 This is just hypothetical. To be honest, I don't know why Rogers agreed to extend the series. They were the ones losing money. Primarily because the Bills stunk for the entirety of the series and plainly were not a good draw for that market. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
papazoid Posted November 6, 2014 Author Share Posted November 6, 2014 This is just hypothetical. To be honest, I don't know why Rogers agreed to extend the series. They were the ones losing money. Rogers reasons were obvious....he wanted to own an NFL franchise. he felt the series would give them a leg up towards that goal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheBillsWillRiseAgain Posted November 6, 2014 Share Posted November 6, 2014 (edited) That's the point. We lost a home game to Toronto every year. Don't want to lose a home game to London. If the Bills play in London it'll be for an away game. Edited November 6, 2014 by TheBillsWillRiseAgain Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheBillsWillRiseAgain Posted November 6, 2014 Share Posted November 6, 2014 I think you're less likely to die at a tailgate, so I'm going with that answer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KD in CA Posted November 6, 2014 Share Posted November 6, 2014 Peter King said about a month ago that the Bills are rumored to be playing in one of the 5 London games next year. There is a thread on it somewhere. I hope that it is a road game but either way I am looking forward to making the trip. Wow, 5 games? I'm actually kind psyched for the Bills to play in London. If it's a good weekend to get away, I'll have to seriously consider going. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The regular season should be a 19-week, 17-game schedule, with each team having eight home games, eight away games, two bye weeks and one neutral-site game. http://mmqb.si.com/2014/10/22/nfl-international-series-global-expansion/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ricojes Posted November 6, 2014 Share Posted November 6, 2014 That probably means one game a year in London. The London games will be announced this afternoon. I heard Jets@Fish rumors, that would suck to have a home divisional game taken away. Not that we don't know what that feels like... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
