    How much time does the Buffalo franchise have...

    in Buffalo?

    Businesses are leaving, taxes on the increase pissing off residents and forcing them to leave. If people keep leaving like this, how much longer do you think the Bills can realistically stay here??

      If the Bills left, I'd have a lot more ambition to move out west or somewhere. I love being close enough to go to a lot of the games. If the Bills moved, I would completely forget about WNY.

        With the way things are going it could be a harsh reality to face in the future.

          I know you guys don't like to hear it, and we discussed this about a week ago, but I honestly believe that the Bills will only be here as long as Ralph is alive or their lease is still alive. Look for them to make a serious bid to relocate once Ralph is gone and whatever current lease they have expires. As I mentioned before, there is just too much money in the NFL business for Ralph's kids to give up. Non local ownership will be the death of the Buffalo Bills.

              Too bad the NFL no longer allows resident-ownership (IE: Green Bay)... the BillsZone could own them

                No site which has ads for Dallass Cowpoke jerseys should own any part of the Bills

                  So if the Bills leave Buffalo and say, move out west, who do you cheer for? Do you follow the current players to the new location? or do you become another team's fan? I don't know what I would do or who I would cheer for if the Bills left.

                  And then say in 10 years or so, an owner brought a team back to Buffalo. What to do?

                    I think it's safe to say if the team leaves one will not be coming back. I really don't know what I'd do. I've grown up playing football all my life, rooting for the Bills all my life. If they left I don't even know if I could follow football.

                      I'd go full tilt toward college ball. I'll attend an occasional Ravens or Redskins game, but it'll be entertainment only (I'll always root against the Skins). I'm an avid college fan now, but that's where my allegiance would completely go. Go Terps!

                      Okay, enough of that! It's too depressing to even consider.

                        I don't see how they can stay much longer the county is asking for breaks (does that break the lease?) but damn I would hate to see buffalo with-out the Bills the ONLY reason they are there is because Ralph is Loyal, I don't want it to happen but the bills could be the next team in LA, and God forbid something happens to Ralph

                            If the bills move... I honestly dont know who I would root for. It would have to be an underdog... browns maybe? Ravens? This is just too hard to think about.

                              Green Bay or KC would have to be my new team I suppose. Probably KC, because I like the AFC.
