Branch had said in an interview posted several days ago that he was fond of the Buffalo area, had his kids in school there and hoped to be able to stay. It is good new to hear that he will have the opportunity to do so. Doug Marrone praised Branch:
“When you look at the guys up front, you look at the production of Kiko (Alonso) as our middle linebacker, a lot of that production is because of the guys up front. They’re taking on blocks and not letting anyone get on them and Alan has done a great job with that. We’re happy to have him as part of this team going forward.”

Funny because here in Cleveland the motto is "At least were not Detroit". Grass is always greener.

I think they haven't made the playoffs in 14 years now and they still sell out most of their home games. The city loves the Bills

The best part of being with the Bills? They will be in Los Angeles in a couple of years.
December 24th, 2013 at 12:11 PM ^
False, if they are anywhere besides Buffalo, they will be Toronto.
Jacksonville will be in LA.

The Bills move for one reason: The second they have a Los Angeles address, the value of the franchise increases several hundred percent. No other move will net them enough money. Plus, their owner is very old and -- when he goes -- why wouldn't the family increase their net worth by at least 100 million? Plus, L.A compared to Buffalo? Come on.

Theres a few other teams more likely to move before the Bills do ime. Like Jacksonville, San DIego, etc.
December 24th, 2013 at 12:20 PM ^
San Diego maybe, however, they probably move to Anahiem.

They will build one either downtown or near Dodgers stadium. Its the second largest market in the country. The NFL wants one -- possibly two -- teams here.

Great schools, cheap houses and dedicated fan base. A lot of the ex-bills players actually stay in the area after their playing days are done. A lot of Sabres and ex-NHL guys in general settle here as well. Something about being in the U.S. but close to Canada. Buffalo probably has the most ex-professional athletes per capita of any city.
The team itself has an up and coming defense and Marrone seems to be an o.k. coach. The offense has a lot of the pieces, but needs them to all be healthy at the same time.

How cold is it in Buffalo today?

About as cold as it is in Green Bay, Detroit, Chicago, or Minneapolis

Marshawn Lynch seemed pretty happy with Buffalo
