Buftex Posted December 15, 2010 Share Posted December 15, 2010 Despite his productivity this year, it seems like Terrell is making himself all the more unattractive as a free agent in 2011, if there is indeed a 2011 season. I am not disagreeing with anything he says here (and he could have easily said most of this while in Buffalo, and few would have disagreed), but this is the kind of stuff that makes him venom for any team thinking signing free agent wide receiver help. He just can't stay out of his own way... http://nfl.fanhouse.com/2010/12/15/terrell-owens-puts-blame-on-coaches-owner-for-bengals-woes/?icid=maing%7Cmain5%7C1%7Clink6%7C31131 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Peter Posted December 15, 2010 Share Posted December 15, 2010 If I were a GM, I would not sign either TO or Moss in the off season. Although they both have talent, they come with far too much baggage. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Charles Romes Posted December 15, 2010 Share Posted December 15, 2010 With T.O. on your team, your whole offensive game plan becomes: "Let's try to force the ball to T.O." That is not a good way to be. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They won their freakin division last year and they are not only not going to win (obviously) this year, but they stand one Carolina win away from being the worst team in football. How does that happen with what they have? Fitzy guided them better a couple of years ago then Palmer right now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

billsfreak Posted December 15, 2010 Share Posted December 15, 2010 Anyone who has been watching knows T.O. has been like that for 15 years now. He is a locker room venom, who has hurt more teams than he has helped. If he wasn't such a asswad, a reciever with his superior abilities, even still at his age, wouldn't have any trouble at all finding work, yet he has to almost promote himself to get one desperate team to sign him (Bills, Bengals, etc.). Any other receiver (besides maybe Moss), that has his abilities would be choosing from a group of teams to play for, but in his case his reputation precedes him.

purple haze Posted December 15, 2010 Share Posted December 15, 2010 He told the truth. How often over the years have the Bengals been underachieving? Mike Brown has been at the forefront. Marvin Lewis should be out. TO didn't say anything that incendiary. People on this board say similar about Mr. Wilson. Why can't an employee share that opinion? TO is producing at a high level. Palmer has gone belly-up the past couple years even though they made the playoffs last season. He is clearly not the QB he looked like he would be during his first couple seasons. That's not TO's fault or OchoCinco's fault. Bengals are a mess and have been for years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He said nothing devastating in here, put the blame on everyone in the organization, including the players. And this team has been a grossly underachieving team many years under Marvin Lewis, so why shouldnt a lot of this fall on the shoulders of this coahcing staff? Seriously, this is only news because T.O. said this. What gets old is media and fans always trying to make a big deal of everything this guy says. This isnt a locker room distraction, they have lost 10 in a row...that 10 game losing streak is the locker room distraction. I would bet that just about every player in that locker room feels exactly the same as T.O. and have no issue with anything he said. This is not an example of him being a bad teammate and I would seriously doubt this comment itself hurts his chances of signing on somewhere next year. His age combined with his past may very well, but this comment not so much. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Someone who is a LEADER as you said, and has a problem with a teammate(s), coaches, owners, whatever-addresses it in the lockerroom, not to the press or Twitter. That is just screaming for attention. I don't know anyone who said Palmer was a HOF QB going into this season, as most NFL fans, and especially Bungal fans will tell you he hasn't been the same since his knee injury 5 or so years ago. The Bungals don't have a great wide receiver duo, they have a wide receiver duo who think they are great-big difference. They are both more fixed on being celebs, reality stars, talk show host, and not concentrating on the sport they get paid millions to perform in. Those two are where the many Bengals problems start this year. Being a LEADER isn't someone who calls out his QB and says he is gay, or gets suspended for half a season for being detrimental to a team. On the bright side though, Fitz might be the only QB he has played with that he hasn't thrown under the bus, so he must be a LEADER. With a LEADER like that, I hope the hell there aren't too many followers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

T.O. is putting up awesome numbers on a crappy team. He even managed to have decent numbers with Trent effing Edwards. He's still got gas in the tank and his unemployment won't last long at all.

His age combined with his past may very well, but this comment not so much. Well, I never used the word "distraction", so I am not sure where you got that from. I also said, I didn't disagree with anything Owens said, and in fact, thought he would have been right to say the same thing while in Buffalo, about the Bills...but, you are really going out of your way to defend him here...I didn't say, either, that this made him a bad teammate...I only said, he would likely have trouble finding a job next season, despite his great numbers this year. I promise you, if any NFL player, on any team, had come out and said that the reason his team is losing so badly, is because of the owner, and the coaches, it would make the sports news. It may get more attention coming from TO, than, say, George Wilson, because Owens has a history of these kind of statements...as much truth as there may be to them, most athletes don't make those kind of statements about the people paying him, the guys coaching them, or their teammates. When they do, it gets reported. It doesn't mean that many don't feel the same way. In my understanding of the term, TO definitely let the Bengals (franchise) "have it"! If a guy works for 5 different companis in 10 years, and applies for another job, his perspective new employer is bound to wonder why he has had so many jobs in such a short period of time. If he says "because everyone, everywhere I have ever worked is incompetant, except for me", I bet he isn't going to get hired...all I was saying...his mouth, an inability to shut it, seem to be the thing that always holds him back. If he thinks his owner and coahes suck, and all his teammates agree...why be the one to feel the need to tell everyone? Let somebody else do that...it likely doesn't really need to be said, for anyone who follows the Bengals. FWIW, I loved the way Owens was in Buffalo...and I wasn't one who wanted him here. It wasn't anything to do with his mouth, just that he seemed, to me, like buying a Sony Playstation 3 system, when you only have Atari games to play...it just seemed pointless...and, in the end, it didn't do anything to help the Bills in any significant way (other than getting Jauron canned, which I have no doubt they could have done without TO), and it just seemed kind of a silly waste of a season, for the Bills, and him.

dollars 2 donuts Posted December 15, 2010 Share Posted December 15, 2010 6th in the NFL in receptions, 6th in yards, 5th in TDs, a guaranteed first ballot HoF, but no, he should shut the hell up when it comes to expressing his disappointment and stating what he believes is wrong with a 2-11 team coming off a division championship year.

billsfan89 Posted December 15, 2010 Share Posted December 15, 2010 Yeah TO kinda screwed the pooch with this one. When he was here he was pretty quiet you could tell he was holding back on ripping the Bills and their coach. But to his credit TO did hold back when he was here. Then in Cincy he puts up really good numbers and all he had to do to play another season was just shut up and leave town. I think that next year TO will be back with some low level team but his days of playing for a serious contender are over. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
