What this is typical of is the worst of the media. There's plenty of excellent journalism out there and plenty of the mediocre too. And plenty of bad. Same as any other industry, hell any other area of life. Did this actually go in the magazine, or was it just internet fodder? Doesn't really matter I guess. 4 hours ago, Mat68 said: Very simple solution is an indoor stadium. Last couple games in bad weather and below freezing for a team on a slow nose dive does not promote excitment. More so when the team they're playing is 3-9. And you can't even go to see Luck play.

todd Posted December 9, 2017 Share Posted December 9, 2017 Newsweek hasn't published actual news in about 25 years. Sad what a once good news magazine has turned into. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Buffalo Barbarian Posted December 9, 2017 Share Posted December 9, 2017 15 hours ago, 26CornerBlitz said: They are still very much in the AFC playoff race, though, at 6-6. The Bills only need eminently plausible screw-ups from the Chiefs and Chargers to sneak in as a Wild Card team. That should be generating excitement. Instead, that sameNewyorkupstate article notes that tickets for Week 15 against the Dolphins are going for $15. The Bills’ experiment with games in Toronto was a difficult one, sure. But if upstate New York can’t get excited about a playoff contender, then maybe the NFL should follow the dollar signs and shift the franchise 55 miles or so north to a Canadian metropolis. It hasn’t worked out too badly for the Raptors or the Blue Jays, after all. The bolded has to be the stupidest thing I have read on here and that is saying a lot.

CanadianFan Posted December 9, 2017 Share Posted December 9, 2017 TBH Toronto "Bills" just doesn't sound right. Toronto Chargers on the other hand, doesn't sound half bad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Let's face it you have all seen this song and dance before and every time the team lands flat on its face, maybe the team should prove they are worthy of such rabid fans instead of thinking of greener pastures? The patriots haven't always been good either, would you have wanted them to move? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chadwick Bay Chad Posted December 9, 2017 Share Posted December 9, 2017 The same people saying this is crazy routinely blast our owners who saved the Bills. U cannot have it both ways Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe I wrote it wrong, my point was the Bills have amazing rabid fans who love the team and show up every week even though the team doesn't give them any real reason to do this. (What I meant they need to prove themselves worthy of you guys.) as for moving before Kraft bought the team it was widely thought they were going to move to LA. (Every team struggles get the stupid rumors.) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fan boy '92 Posted December 9, 2017 Share Posted December 9, 2017 Somewhere in the last couple years Newsweek made a philosophical change away from hard news and toward Enquirer style sensationalism in order to compete for Yahoo clicks. At this point, believe nothing from this source. #journalismisdead Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dave mcbride Posted December 9, 2017 Share Posted December 9, 2017 Most of Teddy Cutler's interest seems to revolve around English football. https://mobile.twitter.com/TeddyCutler He appears to be COMPLETELY unqualified to opine on the NFL. Also, re his tag: "Not a father or a 'lover of life'"? You're neither funny nor clever, dude. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
T-Bomb Posted December 9, 2017 Share Posted December 9, 2017 17 hours ago, Big Curt said: Unfortunately in my opinion we are a depressed City and fan base. We play the victim role and believe we can't have "anything nice". We are a City who hates ourselves and consistently puts ourselves down. We leave the City and area in droves and we tell anyone who asks us about Buffalo, we say we hate it here/there and we're never going back. Then when someone talks about our city and region we get offended. Colin Cowherd is 100% correct about us...Back to the topic at hand. The Buffalo Bills aren't leaving. I have been saying this about WNY'ers and Bills fans for years, but ppl just get butthurt when they hear the truth. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We tell people it is a beautiful city and region with fun loving people. I think a lot of us had to leave for economic reasons and it is hard to relocate once established. The article was garbage and the Bills are never leaving Buffalo. Now if they could get really good again and cheer up this fan base.☺ You "love" coming back, but yet you still live out west? lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I live out west and always have a good time when I visit Buffalo. Lot's of friends to see. I have relatives who have moved away and never came back (to live, but visit ofc). When they did live here it was grumblings about how much the area sucked, jobs sucked, nothing to do, everyone is unhealthy and fat, yadda. They "love" the area now that they have been away for decades, but would never move back. That "love" is just rose colored glasses, if they had to move back it would not take very long for them to feel the "suckness" of the region. What I'm getting at is that "love" and boasting about how great the area and people are is contrived and disingenuous in most cases. Coming back to visit Buffalo is not living in Buffalo...
