billnutinphoenix Posted March 8, 2009 Posted March 8, 2009 Hope he leads the league in drops hope not....
lets_go_bills Posted March 8, 2009 Posted March 8, 2009 I still can't believe it. It's had some time to sink in and I still can't believe Terrell Owens is a Buffalo Bill. His signing is so un-Buffalo-like. I can't wrap my head around this.
Bufcomments Posted March 8, 2009 Posted March 8, 2009 Sweet! I want one! HELL YEA T. F&&ing O. I cant billieve it I am juiced up, the Bills have more Balls than I thought I am VERY VERY VERY impressed I am buying my TO jersey just for historic reasoning Even time TO scores a TD we should have our popcorn ready and toss it the air lol Call it popcorn snow storm TO TO T F&&&ing O
Andrew in CA Posted March 8, 2009 Posted March 8, 2009 I'll add my 2 cents: Wow. Just, wow. That's all I got.
davefan66 Posted March 8, 2009 Posted March 8, 2009 I'll add my 2 cents: Wow. Just, wow. That's all I got. NEVER EXPECTED IT! Don't like it much. Would like it much better if it leads other FA's to want to sign here!
Rico Posted March 8, 2009 Posted March 8, 2009 The minute TO steps on the field, he becomes far & away the most talented player to wear a Bills uniform this decade.
turftoe Posted March 8, 2009 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
billnutinphoenix Posted March 8, 2009 Posted March 8, 2009 I think he'll play his butt off to get a better deal next year....
bprulz Posted March 8, 2009 Posted March 8, 2009 Wow what the f. Great signing to make us forget about why we havent signed anyone. Im liking the move tho.

I'm glad it isn't longer, as Owens' antics may not be tolerated for much longer than that. Time will tell.
DasNootz Posted March 8, 2009 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.

My only problem is if he implodes and how that effects next season and more importantly, the ramifications to the franchise for years to come.

I'm glad it isn't longer, as Owens' antics may be tolerated for much longer than that. Time will tell. Damn math expert!! My wife is POed by the signing but I THINK she's calmed down. 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)

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. (we can give AARON steroids.) -RnJ

KOKBILLS Posted March 8, 2009 Posted March 8, 2009 The minute TO steps on the field, he becomes far & away the most talented player to wear a Bills uniform this decade. I think You'll see now there is one Man who rivals His talent Bro...And He wears #83... WOOT!
KOKBILLS Posted March 8, 2009 Posted March 8, 2009 Hope he leads the league in drops Adam what in the hell kind of Bills fan are You?
