    The NFL could change the rules for market expansion purposes

    Green Bay got a special pass to a one-time deal for ownership, why wouldn't they do it for market expansion? They allowed the Bills to play a game out of the country on the premise of market expansion, yet it's a bad idea now ? Couldn't the owners simply pass a ownership % exception just as easy as the tuck rule, it filled in a blank to cover up for the refs allowing the Pats to win didn't they ?

    We're not out of the woods yet, no one stops Toronto for collectively over-paying & the trust asking for a one-time pass for expansion sake. Bon Jovi had a lot of conversations with Roger & the other owners, they might try something. They already approved one Toronto pass for games, why not another full-time ? Beware.

It's a protection mechanism.

      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.

      "I was an integral part in the drafting process of EJ Manuel," Whaley said Thursday on NFL Network's Total Access. "I was the person that handled the draft process and setting up the board."

      "We are committed. I want you to believe me when I say that," Whaley said of building around the second-year quarterback, per The Buffalo News. "I always tell you guys that I'll never say never because I don't want to paint myself in a corner, but when I do say something, I do it and I mean it and I try to fulfill it."

      "We believe the addition of Sammy is going to be instant impact, not only to our quarterback, but to what our offensive coordinator can come up with game-plan wise and how defenses attack us," Whaley said.

      Whaley on EJ Manuel: "We think we got a gem in this guy." (2:30)

      "And as Mark says, if in three years maybe he's not [our quarterback of the future], then I'll be sitting there saying 'hey guys', .... anybody got a job for me?" - Doug Whaley

        Green Bay did not get a special pass from the NFL.

        There were no rules in place at the time that happened.

        The NFL made that rule right after it happened so it would/could not happen again.

          Hence the special one-time deal.

            The owners could make a % of majority ownership change for Bon Jovi, so he might only have to own 20% instead of 30%. This would allow Toronto to raise it's bid, raising the final franchise sale price. This benefits everyone except Pegula.

            1.) Higher franchise sale values.

            2.) Market expansion (Future) Which gets them new TV money.

            3.) Ralph's estate gets more money

                You said special pass.

                That would imply the NFL made special allowances to accommodate Green Bay.

                There was no special pass.

                There was simply no rule in place for the NFL to enforce.

                  If you're the only one that gets something that makes you special, the pass refers to an opportunity to go somewhere. Combine them, you got a special pass. Why is this even being debated?

                  Changing the % for majority ownership benefits everybody except Pegula, so I see this being a possibility.

                    It is being debated because you are being obtuse.

                    There was nothing in place that the Packers needed a special pass for.

                    Now if the NFL let the Bills do the same thing that Green bay Did, that would be a special pass.

                          I have a new game to play for Skoob's posts. It's called "Drunk or Short Bus." Just use the appropriate emoticon.

                          For example:

                          Green Bay got a special pass to a one-time deal for ownership, why wouldn't they do it for market expansion? They allowed the Bills to play a game out of the country on the premise of market expansion, yet it's a bad idea now ? Couldn't the owners simply pass a ownership % exception just as easy as the tuck rule, it filled in a blank to cover up for the refs allowing the Pats to win didn't they ?

                          We're not out of the woods yet, no one stops Toronto for collectively over-paying & the trust asking for a one-time pass for expansion sake. Bon Jovi had a lot of conversations with Roger & the other owners, they might try something. They already approved one Toronto pass for games, why not another full-time ? Beware.
