rackemrack Posted March 8, 2009 Posted March 8, 2009 sorry for another TO thread, but this is all over yahoo, and covering nfl.com! this is huge for buffalo
PearlHowardman Posted March 8, 2009 Posted March 8, 2009 It's a (only) one year contract. He's 35. No other NFL team wanted him. Fans of all the other NFL teams are breathing a sigh of relief that they didn't get him. But Bills fans here are excited (?).
marauderswr80 Posted March 8, 2009 Posted March 8, 2009 Its huge for all of us bro, I use the term bro heavily cause we are all bro's of the Bills...... I never seen a day like this when this team had this much attention. Granted most of it is negative that we signed him. But say the Giants or even the Pats got him, they would be crowned SB Champs already!
pBills Posted March 8, 2009 Posted March 8, 2009 As they should be... as Herman Edwards said. Evans and Reed COMBINED had 8 TD's last year... T.O. = 10 TD's. People have to remember the negative media the Pats got when they signed Moss.
rackemrack Posted March 8, 2009 Author Posted March 8, 2009 i'm excited! and any team that signed him would get this kind of attention, its win win for the bills

twist_to_open Posted March 8, 2009 Posted March 8, 2009 One thing that always bug the sh-- outta me is tuning into EPSN and getting nothing but the first 15 minutes of T.O. at least now they will be talking in terms of our beloved Bills.
Steely Dan Posted March 8, 2009 Posted March 8, 2009 The sports talking heads should be all over this and it does bring attention to the Bills.
billnutinphoenix Posted March 8, 2009 Posted March 8, 2009 I don't care how self-absorbed he is as long as we make the playoffs...
Flbillsfan#1 Posted March 8, 2009 Posted March 8, 2009 i'm excited! and any team that signed him would get this kind of attention, its win win for the bills Exactly, the Bills were on a treadmill to another 7-9 season. TO may be the BEST receiver to EVER wear a Bills jersey. The sportswriters & talk radio in Buffalo have to LOVE this signing, their jobs just got a hell of a lot easier. Worst case is the Bills finish 7-9 or worse again, at least TO will have made the season INTERESTING. Best case is TO puts this team on his back all the way to the PLAYOFFS. 19-0 BABY
rackemrack Posted March 8, 2009 Author Posted March 8, 2009 I don't care how self-absorbed he is as long as we make the playoffs... we have a tough schedule, but i think TO adds a couple wins to our record
LabattBlue Posted March 8, 2009 Posted March 8, 2009 sorry for another TO thread, but this is all over yahoo, and covering nfl.com! this is huge for buffalo Really? Who would have thought that it would be the story of the day.
rackemrack Posted March 8, 2009 Author Posted March 8, 2009 Really? Who would have thought that it would be the story of the day. it is TO, but how often does something positive in buffalo come close to story of the day?
billsfreak Posted March 8, 2009 Posted March 8, 2009 Its huge for all of us bro, I use the term bro heavily cause we are all bro's of the Bills...... I never seen a day like this when this team had this much attention. Granted most of it is negative that we signed him. But say the Giants or even the Pats got him, they would be crowned SB Champs already! You must be relatively young if this is the most attention you have ever seen this team get. You missed O.J., the Super Bowl era? This was just something that those of us holding our breath were hoping it didn't happen to us, but as our luck goes year after year, it did.
BuffOrange Posted March 8, 2009 Posted March 8, 2009 I kinda feel like the good guy wrestler who just clocked his partner with a steel chair to turn bad. Yah, it hurts a little to sell your soul. But contrary to what Tony Kornheiser said on last year's MNF intro, America never really rooted for us because we were the "small market underdog" (GB and KC achieve that admiration from neutral fans but Buffalo has somehow never done it). So I just kinda think F-- the fans, they never cared about us anyway; maybe selling out will be good for us like it was for Shawn Michaels when he threw Marty Jannetty thru a glass door.

This was just something that those of us holding our breath were hoping it didn't happen to us, but as our luck goes year after year, it did. i am young, i barely remember the super bowl years because i was in elementary school, so this is the most excitement for me since drew bledsoe... i didn't live through the golden years

Best case is TO puts this team on his back all the way to the PLAYOFFS. 19-0 BABY I hate to tell you this, but a 7-9 record isn't close to a worse case scenario-do you remember him in Philly? Apparently not. If interesting is having the locker room in shambles and Trent Edwards walking around on pins and needles, yea it will be interesting. So this is your first season as a Bills fan? Must be-Best Ever Receiver? I can taste my dinner coming up.

For your sake I hope it works out positively.
