They don't get into specifics but state that one of the sons could be involved to negate the NFL's rule about owning teams in multiple markets.
Also said the want to ensure the Bills stay in Buffalo.

Re: Report: Jacobs family has had discussions involving the Bills
good news to me. i trust a fan and resident to keep the team in the area long term moreso than a hack like trump.
i realize this isn't a done deal, but it's good that they aren't definitively out of the running. -
Re: Report: Jacobs family has had discussions involving the Bills
Agreed, I'm not sold on a high profile guy like Trump and the Jacobs' suit the team better however anything is better than moving the team.Comment

Re: Report: Jacobs family has had discussions involving the Bills
I think having the Jacobs family buy the Bills would be best case scenario. I hope they end up with the winning bid.Comment

Re: Report: Jacobs family has had discussions involving the Bills
They are definitely the best case scenario. The key is having someone in the family who is interested in owning the team, not just keeping them from moving.Comment

Re: Report: Jacobs family has had discussions involving the Bills
I wouldn't trust that part at all. They'll do that because they have to for now, but then in five or six seasons they'll start talking about pushing the team closer to Toronto, again, perhaps just across the border in NF or St. Catherines or whatever, but nonethesame.Originally posted by mightysimi View Post

You shroud your childish approach in a vale of pompous, intellectual garbage in an attempt to look smart and "real". You over-analyze even minute points and manipulate statistics to fit your negative view of the team. Again, to feel good about yourself and to protect from getting hurt.
Of course, the criticisms are obviously from someone who has no understanding of the team concept or what it takes to excel at athletics.
The true "realist" understands that they have no control of what happens on the field or behind the closed doors at One Bills' Drive, so they do the prudent thing for a spectator. They enjoy the games on Sunday with family and friends, cheer for their team and realize that it's just entertainment.

Or rather maybe realists?Originally posted by WagonCircler View Post
Again, if the NFL were putting up a new team today and Buffalo did not have one, the odds of it going to Buffalo would be slim to nil. Buffalo cannot sustain a team by MODERN NFL standards. They struggle every season in that regard.
The NFL is no longer a blue-collar league, but that's what Buffalo and WNY have to offer. Great fans, but no big corporate economic climate and the money that accompanies it.
That much cannot possibly be argued except by the willfully blind or those in perpetual denial.
After that the only argument is whether the NFL truly seeks out corporate support, and we all know the answer to that.
It's a complete slap in the face of both the facts as well as to fellow fans that would love nothing more than for the Bills to stay in Buffalo and get a new owner that would put in a competent front office, to suggest that by them simply not ignoring reality that they're "Canadians."
Same as those talking about how great the team's going to be either "this" or "next" season while being wrong for 15 years in their annual predictions as such and while criticizing those that don't agree and labeling them non-fans.Last edited by Fletch; 04-25-2014, 10:09 AM.http://www.billszone.com/fanzone/sho...s-haters/page3
