Canadian Bills Fan Posted August 2, 2021 Share Posted August 2, 2021 I just can't see how the Pegulas do this. This has to be a leverage move which would make sense for business. I mean you made a big deal about the Bills staying in Buffalo when you bought the team and even teared up about it in your press conference. I think this is just a way to make the state of NY sweat 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

UrbanAchiever Posted August 2, 2021 Share Posted August 2, 2021 I’m a Browns fan who just moved to the Buffalo area. It’s probably a long shot that the team will move, but Cleveland is definitely a cautionary tale. Different situations for many reasons, but having a history and a passionate fanbase isn’t enough. I imagine this is Jones advising them to push their only leverage, but if these people think they can make more money in Austin they’ll do it. I hope it’s BS. Buffalo was the only town that stood up for Cleveland when the Browns moved, and I’ll always have a soft spot for Bills fans because of it. Here’s to many years of good football for both of our teams. Lord knows we’ve all waited long enough. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BaaadThingsMan Posted August 2, 2021 Share Posted August 2, 2021 Jerry Jones is a greedy old man and he is tired of sharing his profits with small market teams playing in old stadiums. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Infrastructure is supposed to be stuff like highways, bridges, storm sewers, etc. Throw in some roadway upgrades/expansion within several miles of OP, maybe a new flyover ramp or 2, to go along with some new pedestrian friendly covered walkways, and voila! Killed 2 birds with 1 stone—there’s some “shovel-ready infrastructure” upgrades cover while the bacon gets funneled into the stadium foundation pour?

Big Turk Posted August 2, 2021 Share Posted August 2, 2021 (edited) "According to The Buffalo News, sources tell them the team has not threatened to leave Buffalo, but that other cities that want an NFL franchise would be willing to pay for it." These other clickbait places can spin stuff however they want to benefit them and their brands Edited August 2, 2021 by Big Turk 2 2 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LEBills Posted August 2, 2021 Share Posted August 2, 2021 Now that the LA and Las Vegas boogyman are gone the NFL doesn’t really have a city to threaten teams with. ohhhh we could move the Bills to…Austin Texas lol. You better pay or we will move your team to Portland Oregan! St Louis, Oakland, San Diego have already rejected public funds for a stadium. The Pegulas will get taxpayer funding here for their stadium, it won’t be 100%. These leaks of potential moves are becoming funnier and funnier tho. Terry and Kim are not very good at a lot of things. Can’t wait for our new stadium! 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would agree if it was Terry or Kim quoted saying it.. That would carry a different connotation and message to the entire team and fans.

ALF Posted August 2, 2021 Share Posted August 2, 2021 Both Los Angeles teams will end up paying $645 million each for their moves, just put that for a stadium. Plus Sabres would have to be sold if Bills left due to fan anger. Both will stay when all is done. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

purple haze Posted August 2, 2021 Share Posted August 2, 2021 (edited) 1 hour ago, BuffaloRebound said: Agreed about it being a negotiation tactic, but it’s not a good look for the Pegulas. Bills mafia/fan base has reached legendary status nationwide. Don’t mess with a fan base this loyal. Stop listening to Jerry Jones. I hear you. It doesn’t feel good, but it’s ultimately nothing. What it does is confirm that they are business people above all else. But folks should have already known that.

Having him involved will mean relocation could enter the picture. I said something similar way back in June, on page 15.... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
