H2o Posted December 13, 2006 Share Posted December 13, 2006 I personally will never call a team my own again if the Bills move to L.A. and change their name like the Titans and all. If the Bills leave Buffalo, so does my enthusiasm for the game. How do you guys feel about it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Prognastic Posted December 13, 2006 Share Posted December 13, 2006 Maybe if more Western NYers get off their cheap lazy behinds and actually SUPPORT the team during their home games, they wont have to worry about such nonsense. Its inconceivable to think of NOT having an NFL franchise in Buffalo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cynical Posted December 13, 2006 Share Posted December 13, 2006 I would give up the pro game, and just focus on the college game. There's no chance 'Bama would leave Tuscaloosa for greener pastures. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MavBavButav Posted December 13, 2006 Share Posted December 13, 2006 the mavbavbutav that the world knows would cease to exist. What would be left would be a shell of my former self. I would go through life's daily routine like a zombie. My life would lose all sense of importance and my heart would stop beating within the first year.

RuntheDamnBall Posted December 13, 2006 Share Posted December 13, 2006 I don't see it happening. But if it did, I would still love a lot of the players, I'd hate the organization and the NFL and I would further pour my sports heart into the Sabres and Blue Jays. I'd probably get much more into college football, too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
drnykterstein Posted December 13, 2006 Share Posted December 13, 2006 Prolly I'll pick a new team.. but my interest in the NFL is dropping like a rock. Its too comercial and too many ads and I feel like football is just one bick reebok advertisement. Why do I want to watch that? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JimBob2232 Posted December 13, 2006 Share Posted December 13, 2006 depends on how i feel about the players on the team at the time. If its a group I really like, I can see moving over my loyalty. Heck im following them from a distance now, whats the real difference? However, If its a team like the rob johnson/antwain smith/eddie robinson type team...I would probably take a bigger interest in a local team (i.e. Carolina, Baltimore, Deadskins)...though it would be painful.

If the Bills leave Buffalo, so does my enthusiasm for the game. How do you guys feel about it? 865890[/snapback] The Bills are from Buffalo. If the franchise goes to another city I am done with them. Should it happen, I would hope they start a new team with no history. At least the city of Cleveland kept the name and stats for the Browns in Cleveland. What a Modell Job that was! I wonder how many Los Angeles Rams fans followed them to St. Louis? No different to me than Baltimore (Colts), Houston (Oilers), St. Louis (Cardinals), and Cleveland (Ravens?) As far as the NFL, I do not know what I would do. I wish R. Wilson could strike a deal that would allow the team to pass from his hands upon his death to another Western NY oriented owner.

My point of reference has been WNY for 98% of my life. I would have a hard time supporting them if they were West Coast or anywhere but Buffalo. Neither would I hate them - it would be a financial decision, should it happen. That is just me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rockpile Posted December 13, 2006 Share Posted December 13, 2006 I am so tired of this. There are DOZENS of reasons all the home games do not sell out. Cheap and Lazy are maybe number 15 and 16 on any rational list. Let's start with population and stadium size, instead of just trashing people. When you can do that, I can talk with you on this topic. Maybe if more Western NYers get off their cheap lazy behinds and actually SUPPORT the team during their home games, they wont have to worry about such nonsense.

bills_fan Posted December 13, 2006 Share Posted December 13, 2006 I would have my fall Sundays free. Play some golf, watch more hockey & baseball etc. I'd never watch the NFL and certainly not follow the team. They'd be dead to me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mikie2times Posted December 13, 2006 Share Posted December 13, 2006 I have no connections to Buffalo, but when you take the city from the team and the history from the team, you just don't have the same team. I couldn't follow them anymore, and don't ever see myself caring about another team as much, or even at all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
willis da illest Posted December 13, 2006 Share Posted December 13, 2006 i'd watch other teams and be a casual fan...but i grew up and know em as only the BUFFALO Bills...i would refuse to recognize them as anyone else. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Joey Balls Posted December 14, 2006 Share Posted December 14, 2006 I personally will never call a team my own again if the Bills move to L.A. and change their name like the Titans and all. If the Bills leave Buffalo, so does my enthusiasm for the game. How do you guys feel about it? 865890[/snapback] I agree. My enthusiasm for the game has steadily waned over the years so why would I watch the NFL if there were no local team? I've just found the NFL product of late to be overly hyped and endlessly dull.
