The Dean Posted March 8, 2009 Share Posted March 8, 2009 I'd love to know who green-lighted this move. Probably Brandon over DJ's objections. Wouldn't it be funny to see Owens and Schonert sniping at each other. TS: "I knew Bill Walsh" TO: "Who's that? I don't care anyway, I'm a HOF'er!" Brandon isn't making player moves over DJ's head. I swear you have no sense of responsibilities when it comes to the Bills FO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sds7973 Posted March 8, 2009 Share Posted March 8, 2009 Well... My buddy and i are renewing. We have Bills sidelines seats and I can't wait to see this soap opera unfold. We got better today end of story. The Bills have been as conservative as Limbaugh and i for one is glad to see the old man has shaken it up. Let's Go Bills!!! Where's my popcorn !?

PNW_Bills_Fan Posted March 8, 2009 Share Posted March 8, 2009 This signing is good at many levels. 1. The fan base has been disgusted with front office for keeping DJ. They are getting more and more uneasy about not making the playoffs. The team needed to do something big to give the fans something to celebrate. This signing will put fans in the stands. It will get merchandise sold. This will also get us national media. This is a good move for this reason. 2. The Bills needed another WR. so they went out and signed one of the best WR in the game. As a fan I am not sure how you complain about this. It gives us another year to develop Hardy and Johnson. I also think Parrish is gone. This is a good move to help us develop our young talent. 3. This is a one year deal. The bills are not out much if he doesn't workout. Brandon showed he has a pair. This is a gutsy move. This could be a horrible move, but at least he was willing to go out on a limb. This is a good signing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KD in CA Posted March 8, 2009 Share Posted March 8, 2009 I love it. Plus of all the idiots around the league, TO actually plays his ass off. He blocks. He tries. I think he lights a fire under the Bills, and just gets Hardy and Johnson a year to mature. It should make the offense exciting and a threat to score. Now, just get a TE and we could be exciting. Ralphie is nuts. I love it. This is what I see too. For all his faults, he's a veteran guy that has been on a lot of winning teams. Not having vets who can provide an example on the field has hurt the Bills. TO can give them confidence and credibility and provide the kick in the ass that might be needed from time to time. I can't believe there are people who are not thrilled with this signing. Owens is still a premier player in this league. When was the last time the Bills had a guy of this caliber on their team? For that matter, when was the last time the Bills had any high impact, premier player on the roster? Is there a risk he blows up? Sure, but what exactly is the downside? They were 0-6 in the AFCE and Miami and the Jets are improving. They gotta try. Great decision. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

turftoe Posted March 8, 2009 Share Posted March 8, 2009 I turn 47 on the 16th and I, too remember the rockpile as a wee one. So I hear you. These past 10 years, however, have been agony. Now, I highly doubt TO will sign with the Bills - someone will simply offer him more. But If the Bills sign him to ONE YEAR deal, he will be playing for pride and next year's big deal (somewhere else). It is the only way I can imagine him being a "good citizen" and playing his butt off in Buffalo. So, yes, a one year deal would be IMO fantastic my 2 cents you "old man"! -RichNJoisy CNJBBB Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DasNootz Posted March 8, 2009 Share Posted March 8, 2009 I'll preface this by saying that I cannot stand TO on a personal level. That said, I think this is a very good deal for Buffalo. 1) Even at his diminished level, his skills for 6.5 million is a bargain. 2) This provides us with a legitimate guage to judge is Trent Edwards is capable of being our future. 3) It's a one year deal... You don't marry the stripper (even though he'll be capable of showing us love for one season) 4) It makes Buffalo relevant again. When was the last time you can think of the national media talking about us? This will help with future FA signings. 5) It addresses a significant need, and allows us to draft a DE in the first round. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have posted this elsewhere today but my wife and talked about TO yesterday - about how he'd never come to Buffalo because it is "not his kind of town" (in other words, boring but in actuality is possesses something that none of his previous team's has had: Heart. Too bad his contract did not have incentives which included "good behavior" since living in Buffalo might "save" him. His personality has always been completely egocentric but that is not only unusual in WNY but unacceptable. He might...just might.... if he spends some time working with some charities/churches/social groups whatever, learn what the Grinch learned. It may sound corny but this guy is LOST (rich, famous but messed up) Now, I hope he discovers this....but if he ONLY brings a few playoffs games, I will accept that Go Bills RichNJoisy (aka old fart) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I now think the Bills should look for a TE - either via a trade with Denver or drafting Pettigrew in rd 1. The TO signing means they plan to try and win THIS year. We need a pass catching TE....NOW.
