Damien Cox - Toronto Star: My thumb is down to the fans of Buffalo. I know that they've been beaten up a lot, but here's the problem. Last week the Bills were in Toronto, not a sellout crowd and about half of that crowd was cheering for the Bears. This week was a chance for the Bills to go home and get a big hug from the home fans and all would be well. But guess what? They couldn't sell enough tickets to lift the blackout so Sunday's game will not be seen locally at a time when somebody else is coveting your team and saying that they would like to move it. This would be a good time, it seems to me, for the Buffalo Bills' fans, despite the team's record as they are actually favourites on Sunday, to wrap their arms around this franchise.

Re: Bills fans get a thumb's down
Yeah, thumbs down for rejecting a losing team. Kind of like Dave Hodge and his disastrous one-year stint as Sabres play-by-play man.
The real thumbs down is that the stadium was as full as it was.Comment

I'd like to see what other team in the NFL could have that kind of turn out for an 0-8 team vs a 2-6 team in the rain and be that loud.Comment

The Bucs have been blacked out every single week down here and they're actually doing well. It's tough for people to afford the games these days. Screw this guy.Comment

Re: Bills fans get a thumb's down
how about a thumbs down for the Bills "fans" in Toronto that didnt bother to buy ticket to the game there, allowing more Bears fans to attend?Last edited by Pinkerton Security; 11-15-2010, 10:51 AM.Comment

Re: Bills fans get a thumb's down
**** this tool.
You know what? If this team had been good for the last 5 or 6 years, then the fans bailed at the first sign of trouble this year, he'd have a point.
But this team has struggled for the last decade and STILL only had a handful of blackouts, all cold, meaningless games late in the season.
What about Jacksonville or Tampa Bay? They've had more blackouts than we have.Comment

Re: Bills fans get a thumb's down
What a stupid contention. Poor attendance???
The Rogers Stadium maximum seating capacity when football is played is 54,000, and have they ever come close to selling it out for football games? OTOH The Bills had 56,700 fans in attendance on Sunday to watch two mediocre teams in a relatively meaningless game that had no divisional rivalry or repercussions attached to it.
So if the same crowd attending yesterday's game was in Toronto, Rogers Centre would have been bursting at the seams - with thousands left in the streets and foyers.
Also let's keep in mind the size of the two cities - the Buffalo metro population is 1.1 million. Toronto's metro population is 5.1 million - nearly 5 TIMES the size of Buffalo.
Thumbs down to Buffalo? The only thumb in question is the one firmly ensconced in this Canadian writer's ARSE!Last edited by Cleve; 11-15-2010, 10:45 AM.
