I think its a terrible idea for the fans of Western New York. I would hate to see it be successful and then they start having even more games taken away from the "Buffalo" fans. Your thoughts?

They have already scheduled a preseason game next year in Toronto and a regular season game there in 2009.
I'm a Bills fan, and I can't stand it. We have a huge fan base for such a smaller city. If I were a Dolphins fan, I would be mad about the game played in London. It's all about money, though, and unfortunately, it's outta the hands of the fans. When the Bills owner Ralph Wilson dies, he has no plan on passing the franchise down to family members. He will simply let the team go to whoever wants it (can afford it). Who's going to buy the Bills? No one in Buffalo, most likely. That's why he's testing out Toronto. It scares us fans that we might be moving to Toronto or Los Angeles or something---in the next few years even. I sure hope somebody wealthy steps up and keeps the Bills in Buffalo. Even Bills fans from Toronto don't want the Bills to move.
Anyway, those are my thoughts. I'm glad to see you agree.

It's the first step toward a departure out of town. Under the current rules of revenue-sharing, the small-market teams are going to have trouble keeping up with the (Jerry) Joneses. The games in Toronto are something of a gamble, but split franchises hardly ever work.

I think it is a good idea to try and tap into Toronto more fully. Seven games a year is better than losing them.

terrible idea.
the only way they sould play games outside of the Cities them self is in preseason. No Europe or Mexico or canada for Regular season games.

What would the reason be for that? I think they should not. I was pissed when they took football to london and i'm not even a giants or dolphins fan! it's an american sport, let's keep it that way.
