Gale Gilbert Posted July 27, 2009 Share Posted July 27, 2009 T.O. has more TD receptions over the past 3 years than anyone in the league, how as a former QB can you really not see his field presence. Watch the film and see that as any teams primary threat, he was uncoverable. Think that the whole league had no idea who was going to get the ball thrown at him when playing the cowboys?? 3 years of overpowering opponents says T.O. is a man among boys, above most. Maybe that screaming you hear now reminds you of your time on the field and what could have been. Guys like you never passed to a guy like T.O., unless it was a beer. Watch T.O. with a physical mid-range receiver like Evans around, it will only make him better, popcorn bag heating up. This is true, but Double G had a pretty good rapport with Brad Lamb that never was seen on the gridiron. Oh, what could have been. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Simon Posted July 27, 2009 Share Posted July 27, 2009 that's my dog In the interest of board members' safety may I advise Skooby not to come to any sudden stops, lest he inadvertently find himself conjoined with member14787'smember in making the beast with one back and with one remarkably accurate tattoo of a Georgia O'Keefe painting.

Just Jack Posted July 27, 2009 Share Posted July 27, 2009 Guys like you never passed to a guy like T.O., unless it was a beer. Side note on that comment, at the end of Saturday afternoon practice, Matt Baker was throwing some passes to Felton Huggins. Terrell came over and joined in. So for about 20 minutes, these two got to say they "played" with TO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr. WEO Posted July 27, 2009 Share Posted July 27, 2009 Yes. Philly made it to the SB, Dallas lost in the Wildcard round. San Fran made it to the Division round his first year also. Philly made it through the playoffs to the SB without TO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
inkman Posted July 27, 2009 Author Share Posted July 27, 2009 I don't think T.O. himself will be to blame if the team isn't any better at the four game mark. I expect Owens to be the most productive player on our offense, especially if the first few days of TC are any indication, as he and Evans have been on the receiving end of about 80-90% of Trent's throws. I think if we really are a disappointment early in the season, it will be in spite of Owens' productivity, not because of it. He will be a bright spot on an underachieving team, which may actually cause fans to fall in love with him even more. I don't think TO will be to blame for any poor performances on the field. While the offense may be slightly improved, and that's arguable, I see no reason the defense will perform any better than last year. They had the easy sched last year and failed to capitalize. I haven't even looked at this year's sched, as I am not a large believer in forecasting strength of sched when we have only last year's roster/results to gauge from.

SKOOBY Posted July 27, 2009 Share Posted July 27, 2009 Philly made it through the playoffs to the SB without TO. Check the regular season stats to see how they made the playoffs. If you add the 2/3 WR's receiving yards they just beat T.O. by himself. Why worry about who gets you there, right? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

inkman Posted July 27, 2009 Author Share Posted July 27, 2009 Slightly improved?? We haven't even played a down yet, so how is that arguable good or bad? This sentence structure could use some improvement. On paper, with the addition of TO, a revamped O-line and another year under Trent's belt, one could argue that the offense should be improved. I'm not going to make that argument but it's there for the taking. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If the offense is improved (if) then the defense will likely have an easier time of things to some degree. It's a lot funner playing Defense with a lead.

SectionC3 Posted July 28, 2009 Share Posted July 28, 2009 You are the man. I can't believe I'm actually watching the T.O. show, but I am. This show has cast Buffalo in a wonderful light, and is probably the best national advertising we've had in years. Talk about a job well freakin' done - excellent work!!

San Jose Bills Fan Posted July 28, 2009 Share Posted July 28, 2009 I attended Buff State and worked with Tom Calderone at the campus radio station, WBNY-FM with him. We graduated together in 1986. Tom is an outstanding person and an exceptional talent. It's great to know that he is the President at VH-1. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He had very good journalist ethics. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest dog14787 Posted July 28, 2009 Share Posted July 28, 2009 I didn't want to start another thread, but I thought T.O.'s show good tonight. It was fun to watch him see the falls for the first time and get the key to the City of Buffalo. I really like this fella Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
