billsfan89 Posted July 21, 2023 Share Posted July 21, 2023 Snyder is the James Dolan of the NFL (although Dolan has finally stayed out of meddling in team operations and cleaned up the organization a bit since 2015) only somehow more toxic. Getting rid of him is only a positive for the league and a long starved loyal fanbase. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BillsShredder83 Posted July 21, 2023 Share Posted July 21, 2023 52 minutes ago, I am leaving for good said: I agree I would fixed that nonsense move the Washington NBA team back as the Baltimore Bullets and move the Washington NFL team to Virginia and call them the Virginia Squires in Red, White and Blue. You can’t do sports business in Washington, D.C. anymore without the politics move both the teams along the the Washington Nationals MLB back to Montreal as the Montreal Expos and move the Washington Capitals NHL to Hartford as the Hartford Whalers problem solved at least the teams would be appreciated in those areas in my opinion. Go Bills! Let’s Go Buffalo "Baltimore Bullets" lol im farrrrrr from PC/political but that absolutely can not be done lol that place is a literal warzone day to day, but if were going this route: I like Washington Raw-Dimebaggers Longshot ticket on: Norfolk Omar's(Coming) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fans don't stay away--prices on secondary market were still crazy. The change in ownership high will fade quickly. 35 minutes ago, Ned Flanders said: Just getting rid of Snyder is good enough for now...the disdain for this individual here cannot be measured. I guess so. But why would it make fans more likely to see the team that will be fielded--because when they look toward the owner's box, someone else will be there? This team has many actual problems. Bad man as owner wasn't really one as far as performance is concerned. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Same here. I’m sure the new owners will try to improve the game day experience for the fans immediately, but the on field product is going to take a while. I don’t expect to see any real personnel changes until the offseason. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Incompetent football man who thought he was a good football man really was one of their big problems. He consistently interfered over the years, and did a crap job bringing in GMs and heads of football operations, favoring sycophants over excellence. I lived in Arlington and Rosslyn for a while during the Jack Kent Cooke era. That was an impressive machine, and I got to see the Bills mill around outside the stadium after games a couple of times as well. Couldn't believe Shane Conlan's shoulders, or how small Tasker was compared to the rest of them. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Those are the only meaningful changes for your team, not who the owner is. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
