TO this weeks legend of the game

[Patrick Duffy]

Lol, I remember being super excited when he was signed. But yeah...didn't last long

[Bubba Gump]

Sweet, I can break out my Owens 50th anniversary jersey once again.

Loved when TO came here...  But similar to when Lynch was the Legend of the Game, I struggle with honoring players from the drought years - let alone a 'Legend' who played one year for a 6-10 team.   There are only a handful of legends from the drought years.. and they start and end with Fitzy, FJax, Eric Wood, and Kyle

 

 

Lee Evans, Winfield, Takeo, Clements, Fletcher.....I get a lot of these guys didn't play forever. If you drop Fitz from your list, I will drop everybody from mine. I agree Wood and Kyle stand out, really, Kyle stands alone if you want to get more granular.

This should be fun. Loved T.O. As a Bill!!! Especially with Fitz slinging the ball to him.

[Capco]

I felt kinda bad when he broke his consecutive catch streak with us.

For what it's worth, TO holds the team record for longest reception, thrown by one of your chosen legends.  Also refusing to acknowledge the drought years sounds like something a fairweather fan would do.  Most of those "legends" couldn't help being on a poorly run team.

I miss no fans in the stands.

These big games should be guys from the 90's teams IMO.  Even a guy like Phil Hansen.  I would argue we dont need a legend at every game if we are bringing back one year players.

 

Maybe TO reached out to the Bills after seeing Beastmode do it.

 

I have no problem with TO doing this as he is an Icon and a HOFer.

 

When Ralph and the boys flew down to get him it was an exciting moment for Buffalo.

 

I was so hyped I bought a TO jersey which I still wear once in a while

 

55 catches 829 yds  and 5 receiving TD's

 

6 rushes 54 yds and a TD

 

Bills record 98yd TD catch and run

 

Legend? Hell Yeah !

BTW could you imagine TO in his prime with Josh?

 

It would be incredible

Hard to believe they did not put him on a cart and take him off that way.

 

He didn't want to leave the field on a cart.....he was a tough guy and throwback.

I am fine with it, I dont get a lot out of this stuff, some fans do that is cool.   I dont consider TO a Bills legend but I also don't care, bring someone in to pump up the crowd...that is cool.

I think its cool.  I know he only played one year here but in the middle of the drought it was a fun ride.  I like to collect obscure Bills jerseys so you know I'll have my 81 on in the stadium monday night!

 

Owens has had nothing but good things to say about his short time in Buffalo.

Sporting my 81 jersey as well...Go BILLS!

[dave mcbride]

I’ll say this about TO — he is a legit first-ballot hall of famer (although he wasn’t voted in the first time around). His numbers are staggering.

I'd actually be down for Chandler. The snow shoveling thing is legendary.

[KCNC]

You guys know TO was on the Cowgirls when the Nick Folk MNF meltdown/debacle occurred, right?   Not sure if that is good or bad.

[RoyBatty is alive]

TO still owns the Bills record for longest pass play, 98 yards from Fitzpatrick.

 

I never liked TO but he was close to a model citizen with the Bills and was a class act.

Just ask them to name 5 Pats players from their 90s teams and it will shut them up real quick. Tried that 4 times I was in Boston getting heckled wearing my Bills gear...the best any of them got to was 3...one of them couldn't name any. Most pathetic fan base in all of sports.

This he still has the longest TD catch in Bills history against the Jags doesn't he?

[Solomon Grundy]

Just thinking, wouldn’t it have been cool if the Bills named Lawyer Milloy as legend for this game. Talk about spitting tobacco in their eye.

Sam Adams!

 

actually I would make him suit up for this one 

[jlgarsh]

If Fitz had played the full year with TO, he’d have had a monster year. I remember his splits from games started by Edwards vs Fitz and it was eye opening.

I nominate Ashton Youbouty. I saw him at training camp one year I was amazed how small a guy he was that close up.

 

Fast forward to the san diego billsbackers bar and there is this 6'2" 400 pound Monster of a guy wearing a white Youbouty Bills jersey....CLASSIC

 

haha your thread reminded me of that. So just how many jerseys do you own? Do you borrow any to keep the tradition going?

Just saw this you beat me. The neck on that dude tho

I loved bringing back Marshawn but this seems a little like we're running out of legends.

 

Marshawn would have hijacked a cart and driven it out for Eric Wood, and might have gotten a DUI for the way drives those things! Keep all Canadians at least 10 rows up!

How about the midget trainer?

the TO legends is such a joke. Im actually embarrassed for the bills. Its not "cool," sorry.  either find legit bills beyond more than 1 season played or dont do it at all. nationally its a joke - morning men on sirius BLASTED the bills and i agree with them

I tend to agree with this.  Although I think the term is "legends of the game" not "players who were legends on the Bills", so there's that.

That was kind of my thinking - he was a legit first-ballot HOF guy, so as a "Legend of the Game" who did play for Buffalo for part of his career, it doesn't bother me.  Would rather have seen Bryce Paup or Aaron Schobel but is Paup really a "legend of the game" or just "a talented player on a declining team"? 

 

I dunno

 

I think the media just kind of wants to take pokes at B'lo right now.

[ehfeuh57]

Will be good to see TO

 

Does the Legend always "lead the charge"?

[Giuseppe Tognarelli]

Went to see T.O. at The Bills Store today. Not a good vibe. Was right in front of him next in line and his entourage stopped us and said we have to buy something from his clothing line in order to take a picture with him. I said I'm not doing this stupid idol worship and left.

Give Lee Evans a legend of the game, He played his butt off in our bad years!

If it's Legend Of The Game, and not Buffalo Bills Legend Of The Game, then they should bring back fan favorite Bryan Cox, and do a giveaway with Duracell at the gate of free packages of D cell batteries.
