Official Thursday Bills vs. Jets Game Thread...Does anyone care?

[chris]

I'm at the hotel attached to the indoor stadium.

Place is packed and the drinking is already going on at 2pm.

Who do you think will win?

There is more than enough money in Toronto to build a state of the art NFL stadium on private money.

The NFL wouldn't resemble Leaf games. The NFL doesn't allow for "stuffed-shirts" with people pissing in any corner they can find (like at Bills Games)

The only reason Toronto doessn't have a frachise is because of the Neilson Ratings. Do you think the NFL would rather go out of the continent to expand. That would be retarted.
L.A. is the only city that might get a franchise before Toronto.
Toronto Is a bigger market than Atlanta. I think that would raise a few eyebrows in the NFL F.O.

These were merely examples of franchises that had been in peril within the past 10 years.

I understand that a calgarians would be upset with Toronto because calgarians feel inferior to them, but, rest assured, Mr. Wilson is preparing his faithful Buffalonians for the move

1) Stadium was 25% empty until close to end of 1st qtr.

2) Fans are really laid back. The issue of people standing was not an issue. only a few stood up for the bills touch down.

3) Sanchez looked awful. Missing wide open primary and check off receivers. Looked lost at times. Has a gun for an arm; but misses a lot.

4) TO takes plays off; especially if play is away from him. He is not getting away from the defenders.

5) Glad I didn't have to pay for the ticket. I would have asked for my money back.

1. That's Toronto for you.

2. Look who's playing. Would you really be that excited? At least if the Raiders were playing you could laugh at just how incompetent their fat loser QB is.

3. Pretty much.

4. ****ing duh. I wonder if the Jets will even bother spotlighting him with Revis next half.

5. Nobody in Toronto will pay full price for a ticket. If you do, you're a sucker. This whole experiment, by and large, has been a disaster. And I couldn't be happier.

Revis is just awesome.
