Mike in Syracuse Posted December 31, 2009 Share Posted December 31, 2009 In T.O's defense, his numbers would have been better if he hadn't dropped the passes that hit him RIGHT IN THE FREAKING HANDS! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PromoTheRobot Posted December 31, 2009 Share Posted December 31, 2009 People love names. T.O. was a name. In the end it got us bupkus. PTR Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CardinalScotts Posted December 31, 2009 Share Posted December 31, 2009 Its not a bust totally for only one reason it (the signing) proved even with a prolific receiver in the offense Trent Edwards can not play quarterback and we are able to make that call without a doubt and move on Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CodeMonkey Posted December 31, 2009 Share Posted December 31, 2009 Failed? This past season had one of the worst teams ever, and had the best season ticket sales ever. It was a complete success. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Clippers of Nfl Posted December 31, 2009 Share Posted December 31, 2009 chemistry with fitz was better. his numbers would have been better with fitz. maybe one more win too. but still no playoffs. so yes, failed! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CardinalScotts Posted December 31, 2009 Share Posted December 31, 2009 If Edwards would have had some success it would have been time to pony up the money like 30 million etc. - not a failure Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ThreeBillsDrive Posted December 31, 2009 Share Posted December 31, 2009 The TO signing epitomizes player personnel decision-making at 1 Bills Drive. Signing TO was a brilliant marketing move. It generated a lot of buzz and season ticket sales. But the on-field results were lacking. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BillsfaninFl Posted December 31, 2009 Share Posted December 31, 2009 Pretty interesting. I'm sure somone will sign him. I'm glad he's leaving. T-Over Carucci's article was on the point. He called it exactly as it was: a business investment that was successful. Wilson has absolutely no respect for the fans in Buffalo. He thinks we are fools because it takes so little to keep us in line. In reality, we are ardent football fans. Unfortunately, we either must support the Bills or go without an NFL team. Ralph isn't fooling us, but he's holding all the high cards. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
apuszczalowski Posted December 31, 2009 Share Posted December 31, 2009 The move did exactly what it was supposed to do, sell tickets and merchandise. I have been saying it since the moment he signed. It was a buisness move to get fans back after the fans started giving the team heat for keeping Jauron and extending his contract. It was a win win on both sides. The Bills keep fans buying season tickets and jerseys, and TO gets on a team for the season to show he can still play and be a good team player. The Front office knew they weren't going to be Super Bowl contenders this season, and knew fans were angry with the end of last season. They were hoping that the team was good enough to atleast make a push for the playoffs and if all went well, maybe TO might give them that extra push to the post season too. TO did just enough to get through the year as a "good team player" and hopes that it can get him a contract that he can end his career with. The move did exactly what it was meant to do, put butts in the seats for another season Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheChimp Posted December 31, 2009 Share Posted December 31, 2009 My God, even Carucci lowered himself to bashing Owens in his article (or collection of anonymous bull **** quotes, whatever that POS piece was). Yeah he dropped a few and looked disinterested in fighting for badly thrown balls a few times. Yup, he sure did. But if he had the efffing ball thrown to him even HALF of the times he had a step on his coverage, he'd have been right up there with the receiving leaders, no doubt about it. The tape doesn't lie. He was open more often than Paris Hilton's legs. What was he supposed to do, throw himself the goddam ball? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DELLAPELLE JOHN Posted December 31, 2009 Share Posted December 31, 2009 TO was hardly the problem, our starting qbs wouldnt even be back ups on some teams..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
reddogblitz Posted December 31, 2009 Share Posted December 31, 2009 TO was hardly the problem, our starting qbs wouldnt even be back ups on some teams..... TO would have been fine if we had a QB that could throw him the ball all season. Next year when we get a good QB look for TO's numbers to be much better.

DrFishfinder Posted December 31, 2009 Share Posted December 31, 2009 From a marketing standpoint, TO did what the Bills FO expected him to do, sell tickets & merchandise. With the QB, OC and OL situation, does anyone honestly think that any WR would have had a "good" year? I sure as hell don't. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
K Gun Special Posted December 31, 2009 Share Posted December 31, 2009 Player Rec Yds avg Long TD Terrell Owens 51 764 15.0 98 4 Fred Jackson 44 356 8.1 21 1 Lee Evans 40 563 14.1 50 6 Does this mean we should get rid of Lee Evans too? Hes making close to 9 millions a year(( http://www.rotoworld.com/content/playerpag...t=NFL&id=26 ))) and has awful numbers. I dont think TO was a great success on the field but Evans is a disaster. look at those numbers. We got a lot more bang for the buck with TO.

....lybob Posted December 31, 2009 Share Posted December 31, 2009 you pay big money for a down field WR like T.O. then you rip the Offensive line apart so there's no time to throw down field- that's par for the course with the Bills- Have a mobile QB who likes to throw long? make him stay in the pocket and throw short, Make slow footed Bledsoe roll out and don't forget to take away His long ball(Price) and his safety valves TE, FB- got a 1200 yard RB and a coach fighting for his life, and a bunch of needs? spend a 1st on a RB who won't even be able to play for a year cause his leg almost fell off- Have you guys ever considered that Wilson may not like us? in fact that he may hate us.
