This might be the reality down the road. I'll take it. Bills football is Bills football no matter where you play it. Heard about this on WGR55 this morning.
How would you feel about the Bills sharing 4 games with Toronto?

Four is too many.
Hell, 1 is too many, but 2 is the absolute most we could tolerate and still be the Buffalo Bills.

Re: How would you feel about the Bills sharing 4 games with Toronto?
I think it would only want that as an absolute last resort and every other option would need to be explored first. While it would truly suck it would be better than losing the team entirely when the next owner of the Billls buys the team. I rather see them keep the name and play four games in Buffalo than move to Toronto or LA permanently.

Re: How would you feel about the Bills sharing 4 games with Toronto?
It would be OK with me, as long as they were still called the Buffalo Bills. It would be far better than losing the team completely.
Then again, I have a different situation than most season ticket holders, driving as far as I do.The more limited schedule would actually make it a little easier on me.Should have known, way back in 1960 when we drafted Richie Lucas Number 1, that this would be a long, hard ride. But who could have known it would be THIS bad?

Re: How would you feel about the Bills sharing 4 games with Toronto?
I have been making this prediction for months. And I've taken much grief from the ostriches for it as well. Buffalo's best bet to keep the Bills is a shared arrangement with Toronto.
Read latest breaking news, updates, and headlines. National Post offers information on latest national and international events & more.
Here's a quote from yesterday by Erie County Executive Chris Collins from the above link: "There's a lot of things in play," Collins said. "But a negotiation that keeps them known as the Buffalo Bills, with four or more games played here, I think, most people would consider a win." So our local leaders are already working this angle.
Please note the phrase "four or more" games. In the future, the NFL will play a 17 game schedule, 20 or 21 if you want to include pre-season. So Collins makes it sound like he's talking a 50-50 split, but really it could wind up being 66/33. Counting pre-season, a team will have 10 home dates and 1 neutral site game. If Buffalo gets its 4 (1-pre and 3-reg) that leaves 7 games in Toronto.
Be prepared that it could wind up that way. In fact the ONLY way it won't be a 100% move is with intervention from the NFL, Congress and/or the Canadian government. When the Bills are sold there will have to be a stipulation that some games stay in Buffalo, and maybe even the name "Buffalo Bills" sticks too. The Toronto Buffalo Bills may sound odd but that could be the name going forward.
