- For one, the People's Republic-style outlandish taxes that plague the team's state, county, and city, all done by a government that thinks it knows how to spend your income better than you do, are the chief reason that there aren't more businesses or skilled workers moving into the area and bringing cash to the stadium; that needs to change, and not only for this organization's sake. The Bills should also realize that the easiest way to attract supporters is to, oh, be successful and make the playoffs.
- The NFL should realize that this is a situation where it can easily make Canadians fans of an American team; on the other hand, every single Western New Yorker would curse the franchise forever were it to move to another city.
- Aside from recognizing that Buffalo is a true football town and that the Bills leaving would be a Browns-to-Baltimore-type public relations disaster, the important factor for the league is that fans in the area would be more likely to buy Los Angeles Clippers merchandise than shell out any money on tickets or merchandise for their former home squad. Sharing this team means gaining followers, while transferring it would lose many permanently.
-It may be possible at least for now to discount the utterly speculative prospect that the Bills will relocate north to Southern Ontario, but what remains is the sad thought that Ralph Wilson Stadium will only be used seven times next season, taking away a home game from fans who embrace the opportunity for revelry and community presented by their football club.
-Having one fewer tailgating session and chance to share a game's summits and depths a year with neighbors in an activity that genuinely bonds locals together is unfortunate.
