Bills News Conference About Toronto Game On WGR Right Now

[raphael120]

If anyone has a chance to listen to this, please do it.

You should hear Ralphs comments. He apparently realizes how much of a joke his franchise is:

"Last year our offense wasn't too good. I asked the league to change it so we had 6 downs...because when we had 4 we would hand off, hand off, pass, punt. Maybe if we had 6 downs we could get 10 yards."

"We look forward to the game...don't know who we'll play...but I hope we score a few times."

"Toronto is an NFL city."

BTW...have you ever heard a GM belittle his own team about how pathetic it is before on an INTERnational stage!?

"Buffalo is getting smaller, losing jobs...we need to regionalize...team can't be viable without regionlizing...have very passionate fans, don't want the Bills to move. Need to increase visibility...moved to east, set up training camp in Rochester." "Maybe 20% of our fans come from Roch...didn't happen until we moved our training camp and brand to the east.." "Now we've overturned all of the rocks in western NY...need to do something" "So we look to the North...came up with great partners came up with this format."

"What do I say to the fans in Buffalo? Hey, I can't speculate what's going to happen in the future. Don't worry right now."

Man...you know what. I think we can pretty much say goodbye to the Bills in 5 years.

Nothing you heard today makes you believe that long term, the Bills are going to stay. It's depressing.

I don't like the sound of that toronto is an NFL city statement.

Its almost like Ralph wants the bills in toronto. Or maybe I'm just reading into this too much.

But at least he recognizes how much of a joke our offense was. Maybe that's a sign of things to come for the offseason? I sure hope so!

We can read things anyway you want to. We won't know until it is time that they are leaving or staying

Unfortunately Ralph doesn't realize that because his team is such a joke that he himself is poking fun at his own franchise, that this effects fan support.

GET A WINNER IN BUFFALO AND THE FANS AND MONEY WILL COME, YOU MORON!

Ralph isn't planning to be alive in 5 years, and he has stated he wouldn't sell it while he's still alive. There's still a chance for US people to make a bid for it.

I wish they would just get it over with either way. This constant worrying about it is killing me...

I still don't think this is good for Buffalo if we want to keep the team. Give them a foot they'll eventually want a mile and we'll see more and more games going away.

So what was wrong about Buffalo is shrinking, the economy is in the toilet, people are leaving? Is it true or not?

That is funny.

At a minimum we can hold his feet to the coals on that. If he's going to bag the offense, he better put his money where his mouth is. Hard to blame him, though. The offense isn't his fault. It's not like he was signing the checks or anyth... oh wait, he was! D'oh!
