PushthePile Posted February 28, 2010 Share Posted February 28, 2010 Fixed. PTR Nah, this is just the way Bills fans send off everybody. TO's effort was just fine while he was here. The theory that he was dogging it on the field was well ingrained in many minds before he even put on a uniform. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The theory that he was dogging it on the field was well ingrained in many minds before he even put on a uniform. You are wrong there, he did at time display pathetic effort. If a ball is interecepted right in front of you, you as a receiver have the responsibility to try to tackle the defender with the ball, not throw your hands up in the air and moan because it was a bad pass. Everyone knows we didn't have very good QBs last season, but any QB throws passes that aren't right in the numbers all the time, and in those instances, it is the receivers job to still make a professional effort to try to catch it, T.O. often didn't put forth that effort. If anything was ingrained in peoples minds before he got here it was that he was going to blow up, which to his credit he didn't. T.O. has always been known for two things negaitves, running his mouth and dropping way too many balls, he only did one of those things his one and only year for the Bills.

In mine, our T.O. would not run routes, short arm passes, and worst of all, not fight for the ball, letting DBs get interceptions. We could have used the Terrell Owens you watched.

rstencel Posted February 28, 2010 Share Posted February 28, 2010 With Reed and Owens on the way out, the folks who want to see what Hardy and Steve Johnson can do may get their wish i would like to see them get some reps, but not as the 2. Would like a proven vet to come in for the 2, and if one of them can beat him out then fine, but dont like the idea of handing job to either of them, think one of them would have to earn it. They both are better suited for the same spot the Evans plays however dont see either of them winning that spot. Neither have very good short area quickness, or can go over middle at this point, so would need to either get a 3rd down type, or rely on the TE or Roscoe to fill those needs.

PTR No you're right I didn't see those things. I know of a couple plays that a few observers questioned his effort coming back for the ball. Of course that was up for personal debate and many posters felt it was much to do about nothing. Count me in the latter group. The picture you paint is about as foolish as you holding the Bills accountable for not pulling the trade with the Ravens that you heard about on the internet. Both points are lame and unfounded.

lets_go_bills Posted February 28, 2010 Share Posted February 28, 2010 Wouldn't of minded if the Bills at least made Owens an offer. He's getting a little long in the tooth but he was fun to watch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ghost of Rob Johnson Posted February 28, 2010 Share Posted February 28, 2010 Great news on Denney...one of the many, many overpaid Bills. If Chris Chambers doesn't sign a new contract with KC over the next few days, it seems to me like he's a lock to come here and be our 2nd WR. Where do you get that from?

Pirate Angel Posted February 28, 2010 Share Posted February 28, 2010 kelsey no matter what has been said is great for depth, yes he is overpaid. He will be realeased, nobody is going to have a player in there 30's learn a new position. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He brought excitement. I will agree there are a lot of fans who get more out a game when they have a celebrity on their team. I'm weird though. I like players who play hard and want to win.

Malazan Posted February 28, 2010 Share Posted February 28, 2010 Kelsay at OLB? Give me a break, this guy wasnt athletic enough to be a decent DE, now he is going to be in open space? Sh*t we have seen enough of him, whats does Gaileystill need to see?.. Training camp? OTAs? Him play in person? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mjohns85 Posted February 28, 2010 Share Posted February 28, 2010 per vtext. Have been informed they will not be offered contracts for next season. Add: No Owens, Denney or Reed for 2010 dont let the door hit you on the way out Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BillsVet Posted February 28, 2010 Share Posted February 28, 2010 With TO gone, the team hiring a 70 year old first time GM and also-ran HC, who will Buffalo target as their "name" UFA for 2010? I think they'll pursue Tomlinson, but find he has other suitors. Either way, I'm very interested to see how OBD fares selling season tickets. At least TO had a ROI.

Peter Posted February 28, 2010 Share Posted February 28, 2010 I will not miss TO. I was excited when we signed him, but he was a disappointment. He took plays off. He had alligator arms. I believe he was disruptive behind the scenes and threw TE under the bus. I also think that he would have signed with anyone who would have paid him $1 more than anything we would have offered him. I will miss Reed. I thought that he played hard. He had pretty good hands and made some clutch catches. He was a good complimentary receiver. We now have a solid number 2 receiver in Evans. (Yeah, I know some of you guys are in love with him). Maybe Chan can get more out of him. I hope. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ramius Posted February 28, 2010 Share Posted February 28, 2010 With Reed gone, the real question becomes, what happens to the "Josh reed in a single WR set, go in motion, and telegraph the run to that side" play we always ran? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doc Posted February 28, 2010 Share Posted February 28, 2010 Now worries. Johnson and Hardy have shown themselves to be ready to pull a Miles Austin for the Bills. I seriously hope that Nix has a WR in mind for the later rounds, who can come in and start immediately. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
