Also, I can see a scenario where they claim that so many cross-country, in-division road trips make for a disadvantage for the LA Bills.

Dallas heads East to play Washington, NY, & Philly.

The Rams left LA before Carolina joined.

Not true.  Carolina was awarded a team in 1993.  St. Louis was in the running for an expansion team and looked elsewhere when that failed to materialize. The first season of both the St Louis Rams and Carolina Panthers was 1995.

I wish the Dolphins would move to L.A. 

I'd be able to go to games since it's only a 4 hour drive from Vegas. 

Plus, it's not like the crappy hometown fans will miss them anyway.  Not you guys of course since, hell, you frequent a forum dedicated to the team.  But let's be real, for the most part, local Miami fans = hot-bandwagon-garbage.  I know because I went through elementary school, middle school and high school being part of the minority Miami Dolphins fan-base in Miami.  I'm not talking about the real fans who stick with their teams even when suck suck.  I mean the majority of Miamians who can't name 3 starters on their "favorite team".

IF the Bills move to LA they aren't the BILLS anymore!!!!!!!  Roll Eyes

Does Pittsburgh consider the Ravens their long standing rival because they USED to be the Browns? NO!!
It's hilarious (but not surprising) that you brought up the Ravens.  As far as the NFL is concerned, the Ravens are an expansion franchise that started in 1996.  The Browns franchise "ceased operations" from 96-98, and started up again in 99.

I would criticize you for not knowing this extremely simple, commonly-known bit of information, but I'm sure you already knew it.  You intentionally picked the Ravens as your (incredibly wrong and easily disproven) counterexample because any other example you could have picked would have refuted your point by the mere act of typing it.

The Indianapolis Colts were still the Colts.
The Phoenix Cardinals were still the Cardinals.
The St. Louis Rams were still the Rams.
The Tennessee Oilers were still the Oilers (at that time).

Its a different team if Buffalo moves to LA with different ownership and a DIFFERENT FAN BASE!!!!.
So then, when I asked you if you believe that 49er fans wiped the slate clean when the Rams moved to STL, apparently your answer is "yes."

Maybe I should have worded it that the Rams left LA before the Panthers ever played a game. There has never been an LA team playing against a Carolina team is the point.

I've read that to attend a Dodger game in a rival team's uniform is basically a death wish.  Why would anyone even want an NFL team in Los Angeles?
