    Jason Peters was right... "Thanks for nothing, Toronto."

    We'll get no succor in that dump of a facility, especially with that fan base.

    The field is garbage. The fans might as well be at a preseason game, milling around listless and drunk. We've won, what, maybe 1 game since this whole mess started?

    It's a liability.

    But hey, it makes money!

    And we even had a celebrity at the game. Toronto mayor and possessed cabbage patch doll, Rob Ford.

    Jason Peters was right from the get-go.

    I'm pretty sure I agree.

    But I don't know what succor is.

    I'm convinced that the people who do attend these games..aside from Bills fans...are Leafs fans who cheer for whoever we are playing against.

    Buffalo would've won that game by double-digits at RICH Stadium.

    Well, yeah. Fred Smerlas would have dominated and Bobby Chandler wouldn't have fumbled.

    I refuse to call it "The Ralph." It is pretty fitting, though, because most of the time the Bills make me want to puke.

    Re: Jason Peters was right... "Thanks for nothing, Toronto."

    Where is this money going anyway?

    The TV contracts pay for the players' salaries.

    Pretty sure they aren't paying anything for the stadium.

    I could understand if that money helped to make the team viable and tipped the scales into the black, but I think it's just goes on top of the pile.

    I said that loud and clear when the Bills signed the deal with Rogers.

    I said that Ralph will pocket the money and not spend it on player, coach or management salaries.

    I was told that Ralph would invest the money into the team.

    Instead what has happened is that Ralph found a way to make money from Toronto that he cannot make in Buffalo because there are not enough wealthy corporations in Buffalo to support a NFL team.

    You would think that Buffalo based fans would say thank you to Toronto to allow their owner to make the kind of money he thinks he deserves even though he put the team in Buffalo (not his first choice), but instead Toronto is the target of their anger.

    Of course, those hypocrites left the City of Buffalo for the most part long ago for greener pastures.

    Couldn't resist. I think they should revise the Shout song. "The Bills make me wanna PUKE! Hold my hair back and, crane my neck back and--don't get any puke on my shoes--hey yeah yeah, PUKE...."

    By whom?

    Toronto is a lousy football city but it's hardly to blame for the Bills woes.

    I make fun of TO, but it's not like Ralph Wilson and his army of sycophants are getting a free pass here.

    This was a business deal that benefits one person... and destroys a scrappy western NY city.

    Sacrilege to have games in Toronto. If that is at RWS, we win.

    Wood said it last year. They cheer for plays, don't care who is making them. Finally realized he's right.

    Don't ask the Ho where she spends your money. It isn't polite.

    Yeah, I had to look it up as well. I think he even used it right, too. Pretty impressive use of language in a message-board post.

    Probably, although there was no wind yesterday, and it was 42 degrees.

    I've seen them blow enough 14-0 leads at home to know better than to blame it on the stadium....or the crowd.

    One was to the Falcons in 1980.

    It's the biggest reason Russ Brandon got the promotion he did.

    39k in attendance? do they need more proof that not all big cities need or want football? keep the bills in buffalo...build them the stadium now and build it in downtown. it is our product that should benefit our city.

    It's an embarrassment. I'm pretty sure there are marching band competitions at the Ralph that draw more fans.

    Maybe they should price the tickets better for what is usually a poor matchup.

    Or maybe they should pick a better team to schedule that matchup against so people will want to show up and see.

    It's never going to be a home game as the game is at a neutral site where people will only care about seeing "good" football.

    Let's face it, the Bills haven't played good football in over a decade.
