i thought the same thing. i think he would.

Public ownership is discouraged. Green Bay was grandfathered and is therefore exempt from this rule.

well there isn’t any “serious” talk at all about anything regarding ownership at this point.

i’m not sure how much it would cost on a per-seat license. obviously you’d charge more for the club seats and 50 yard line so there would be a discrepancy on the location of the seat.

i just think it would be a good idea.

also, yes there would have to be a majority owner. JK would be a good choice, but it could even be broken down furthur with fans say 49, JK 35, then so on and so forth from different investors (as JK claims he has people interested).

regardless….nothings going to happen until Wilson decides to give up the team. whenever that is

They want this to be a rich boys club, so more and more rich people fight over who gets to be in it, meaning more cash for those who are already there. Remeber the amount of money that was spent by Snyder to get the ’Skins? Thats the holy grail of ownership, some rich yahoo wants a team, your tired of owning one, sell it to that bugger for a Billion+. The NFL is such a good product, with the perfect schedule where every game is do or die, fans are rabid and willing to spend what it takes to be there, and the NFL has NO desire to let public ownership occur?

Among the other reasons? GB for instance, lets say that GB was owner by someone other than the good people of Wis. Lets say that dude gets an offer from LA to come there, and they get a 100K+ seat stadium with 150+ luxury boxes? What owner wouldn’t then use that leverage to go to GB and say, “I love Lambeau Field, but I can’t keep up economically with the other owners unless we build ourselves a new stadium and you give me boatloads of tax breaks. So, either build me a new stadium, or next season I move to LA.” Al Davis anyone? Modell? Irsay? Hello??? Thats why the NFL is DEAD SET AGAINST public ownership. They would lose all leverage in dealing with the local tax payers in getting public funding for anything if the tax payers actually, you know, OWNED THE TEAM.

Both before my time.

Reich was a great back-up, but it is rare that someone likes the back-up more then the pro-bowl starter.

I used to live a couple of blocks away from Frank Reich’s parental units when I was a kid.

I never saw it effect his throws. He was holding onto the ball, maybe because he couldn’t drive his hips. That I don’t know. I am one of the biggest Trent supporters out there.

i know he doesn’t have “feel” but with a week of full practice, JP will have it, it is completely different knowing you will play rather than not. If JP makes some throws early to get comfortable, defenders will back off, and JP will have lanes to run. I think he will find them.

You know what really irritates me that I found out today? Trent Edwards was 10-21 in the 1st half last week! 20 FRIGGN PASSES IN THE 1st HALF?? WHY?? That’s absurd. IWhy the hell was he dialing up pass guys for a guy with an injured groin???? What an idiot turk

Don’t knock Lombardi. He knows what he’s talking about; one of the best analysts out there. And did you not watch Trent Edwards torch the Chiefs with his legs two weeks ago?

I believe the correct term is “Laser Rocket Arm” hehe. It will be nice to see the ball go 80yds through the air a couple of times. Its like the almost half court three’s the boys from Cornell were putting up on SU last night.

While I think its unlikely the Bills will ever end up in Toronto, there is no doubt that under new ownership there will be a lot of pressure coming from the other owners to move this team to a larger market. One of the important things about the Toronto experiment is to prove to the rest of the NFL that this “larger market” already exists in the “Tor-Buff-Chester” mega-region.

Not a very auspicious start.

Good point… but won’t we be the ones dealing with the blackout, too?

If he was worried about his bell being rung he doesn’t go headfirst into the end zone… I am sick of the concussion stuff. Let it go.

There is no way you can say Edwards is fully recovered from it. He may, I repeat may, have recovered from the physical symptoms, but he has not been the same QB since. Confidence, ability to scan the field, willingness to throw deep, and command in the pocket have all seem to have regressed. Yes, receivers need to get open, but we have seen many examples of Edwards not seeing wide open receivers. Of course Turk takes a huge portion of the blame, but as you like to say, this thread is not about Turk. If you are willing to set the bar low enough (two good games vs bad teams), then maybe you are comfortable with what you have seen from Edwards. For me, I will support Edwards because he is the Bills best QB as of right now, but I am not sold on the fact he has regained his confidence or has the ability to play in the cold. Edwards will have his chance. I really hope he will prove me wrong, but the front office better do more than hope. They need to be objective in their analysis of his performance. We are going to be in a position to draft a QB if necessary. I hope we are not so stubborn to ignore the need if it arises.
