    If the Bills leave....

    How would your life be impacted?... I still have to wonder if all the losing is not planned bu OBD so that when the team moves hardly anyone will really care. Most fans have distanced themselves from the bills even if you won't admit it you watch and cheer for other teams Teams that have actually won games. And let's say the Bills say there moving to San Antonio could you really do anything to stop it? The answer is NO. When ralph dies the Guy with the Biggest check is going to own this team--- That is Fact. And I really do not think it will be anyone from Buffalo Area.

    So they are intentionally losing? You do realize this is still a business right? No one wants to lose money on purpose, and I mean NO ONE.

    And NO, I havent "distanced" myself from the Bills - do we suck? Yes. But I'm still a die hard, even in Albany. Ask anyone who knows me. You obviously arent.

    Worst thread of 2014.

      I live in SW FL, so the collective groan would be minimal here. Since the commissioner is a local & Chuck Schumer has huge pull, I think the government would tell them behind closed doors that their "special tax" status would be in jeopardy. If the NFL loses that status, it'll cost them Billions a year = Bills are going nowhere.

          Going through your posts, you are obviously more a fan of politics than football.

          Are you even a Bills fan?

          There is NO chance the Bills will move for at least 7 years.

          I could be dead before that happens. YOU could be dead before that happens.

            San Antonio is perty sweet. No state tax either.

              There are a ton of people who post here, especially those from a particular country, who are passive-aggressively rooting for the Bills to leave Buffalo.

              This guy is obviously one of them.

                  I would be devastated.

                  Also the thought that they are losing on purpose is horse ****.

                  I would almost guarantee they will stay when Ralph dies but of course nothing is impossible.

                  If you are a Bills fan that lives and dies with the team the only question is how would your life NOT be impacted.

                      The Bills are locked in for the length of this lease. Yeah, there is a window in the 8th year, but we are are still 7 years away from that.

                      A lot has to play out before then.

                        I hope the Bills never leave Buffalo.

                        I hope the taxpayers of the county continue to subsidize the Bills staying in Buffalo.

                        I do not pay taxes in that county.

                        Do you?

                          If you REALLY are a fan of the Bills & want to see them stay in Buffalo & do well, explain why you thank every negative post about the Bills including their moving.

                          It is as WagonCircler said, you passive aggressively root against the Bills.

                              Yes, because the entire coaching staff, the front office, and all the players for the last 15 years are costing themselves future employment and millions of dollars just to spare the emotions of the fans. The fans who could do absolutely nothing to stop a potential move even if they wanted to.

                              Makes sense.
