TO game
DANA POINT, Calif. -- It looks like the Indianapolis Colts won't be the opponent for the Bills' regular season game in Toronto. Word here is that the Tampa Bay Buccaneers or the New Orleans Saints are the two teams being considered. The Colts obviously would be a bigger drawing card with Peyton Manning, but the Saints would be appealing because of Drew Brees, Reggie Bush and that explosive offense.

Well, I hope the NFL picks Tampa Bay as the Toronto game. I just bought season tickets so I can turn around and sell them for a profit during game week. The Colts and Saints are the two biggest draws outside the division. $$$$
That being said, I hate to see any game get shipped to Canada. They have their own league...

Tb is probably among the least marketable teams right now and probably wouldn't sell out. that would be the perfect game to move in many regards, including we might actually win, since they appear to be rebuilding. eventually, for the Toronto thing work, we need to have a following there. best way to establish that is to win in front of them.

If it's Tampa, the NFL would be doing the Bills a favor.
That would be the least attractive game on the schedule to sell tickets for here - the one most in danger of not selling out.
I don't think it matters that Tampa has never played here. They don't have much drawing power, even less than N.O.

If it is Tampa, it will be just like the Miami game - a bunch of Canadians with ties to the Tampa/Clearwater/Dunedin area cheering for Bucs. What a joke!

It'd make the scheduling a freaking joke if it turned out to be Tampa. In their entire history, they've never ONCE played here in Buffalo. Everytime we've faced them, it was down there...now they wanna give them a neutral site game?
