Bills likely to play a game in Toronto

According to ESPN, the Bills will be given permission to play one game in Toronto this year.  I still don't know if this is good or bad.  The Bills do need to expand the fan base and bring in more money, but if people in Toronto don't like the Bills already I don't see how one game a year will change that.  After all the cities are only 100 miles apart, how much difference can it make? I suppose the large, big money companies will put money into buying suites and there will be some uniqueness to the whole thing.  I guess it can't be bad.

I really dont hope they become
a toronto team in the future.  I might have to switch teams then because it really wont be the same.  Every year fans sell out more than half the games at the ralph so I really can't see the reasoning behind this.  If they were to put a better team on the field Im sure more fans will come to watch.  Really, this better not be the end of the buffalo bills.

It's not
There's not any reason to misconstrue the Toronto bid as anything other than expanding the fan base. The Bills aren't going anywhere.

(And for the record, we sold out every game last year.)

If they did move
They would still be my team. I love football and can't see myself rooting for any other team. I wouldn't like it but I would have to stay loyal.
Who would have thought I'd miss Pete Metzelaars?
