8-8 Forever? Posted November 20, 2008 Share Posted November 20, 2008 The argument for #1 is there are as many bills fans outside WNY (at least 1million) as there are inside WNY now, with 30 years of out-migration. Half the fan base probably never gets to WNY anymore and could give a crap what happens to the area, so for them the term "Buffalo Bills" is not connected to a place anymore. I'm a fan of the St. Louis Cardinals baseball team and have been for a long time.. I have never been to St Louis. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
8-8 Forever? Posted November 20, 2008 Share Posted November 20, 2008 At some point we have to admit that WNY will not attract the best free agents and coaches where other options are open to them. Therefore, the WNY-based Bills will continue to cycle player talent in and out, hire former asst coaches like williams and mularkhy and retreads like DJ and Wade and always struggle to get beyond 8 and 8. For example, what has been accomplished in Miami this year cannot happen in Buffalo. WNY would hardly be the first choice of Parcells, Pennington or any other top tier talent.... when other cities make the same or better offers.. where would you rather live for a few years of your career, Buffalo or Miami? what pisses me off is that 4 out of 5 people on this board are OK with year after year of mediocrity as long as they have a team plays its games in the Ralph. There are just as many fans outside WNY would buy just as much merchandise, pay more to watch the games (DTV, etc.) , live and die just as much as fans there for the team, who want to WIN, not just exist.

MRM33064 Posted November 20, 2008 Share Posted November 20, 2008 I'd love a SuperBowl win so much that I'd be willing to ... I don't know ... how about give up making the playoffs again for ten straight years!!!! Wait a second .... that reminds me .... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aussiew Posted November 20, 2008 Share Posted November 20, 2008 I almost said yes because, selfishly, I could get to so many more games if they were in San Antonio. But then I remembered the fan base from when the Bills played down there. It's just not a football city. And I also realized how much I enjoy coming back to the region at least once a year. I'd prefer Toronto if they really had to move. But the game experience in the region has become equally important to me as winning a SB Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LabattBlue Posted November 20, 2008 Share Posted November 20, 2008 SIX votes for "Yes" but not a single explanation? Step up and let us know why, please. Or is someone just being an a-hole and clearing their cookies and voting over and over? How is this for an explanation...I misread the poll question.

MattyT Posted November 20, 2008 Share Posted November 20, 2008 What good would a superbowl win do for me if it wasn't by the Buffalo Bills? Anybody here could have jumped ship years ago. The day this team leaves WNY I am through with them. Pretty much sums it up for me... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
