Toronto is a Good Thing

Please stop the pessimism and the thinking this is just OBD taking one step out the door in trying to move the team. It's quite the opposite.

This move is a way to extend the fan base, merch sales, corp sponsorships, tickets, etc. to a market much bigger than Buffalo and (probably) Rochester combined.

It's the only way to make the Bills more competitive from a financial standpoint and will ultimately be one of the key initiatives that helps keep the Bills in Orchard Park, longterm.

Is sacrificing one home game/year (which is still a drivable distance, btw) really that big of a deal when the team is still in Orchard Park in 2020?

What would really be great for the Bills would be to get the regions economy churning. Too bad nobody in Albany gives a crap about WNY.

So many don't understand economics. They just hear what they want to hear, which is Buffalo losing a regular season game. Big deal.

You hit it on the head with your post. This IS a good move.

7 games in Buffalo is better then 8 in LA.

...and even if they did move, you think the NFL would be happy about having to change its name to the International Football League?

It would be wonderful for western NY to stop depending on the public tit.
