I can't even believe it. I wonder how much Dallas is paying Buffalo?

Default Re: TO a Buffalo Bill

On a one year deal he will help the Bills out tremendously. If you look back at his first years with each of his previous teams his receiving stats were very good. It's usually the third year were his mouth becomes problem and divides the team. I bet he will help Buffalo make the playoffs next season .

Agree agree agree. If he didn't already burn the Walt Whitman, Commodore Barry and Ben Franklin Bridges, I wouldn't mind having the petulant a-hole for ONE season.

This is perfect actually. TO goes to the Bills for a year, the year which will be McNabb's last as an eagle. Once McNabb is gone we get TO back and and make another run at the big one.

Even though he can be a handful there is no dispute that he is a talented player. The dude got the Eagles to the Superbowl and then played in the Superbowl with a broken leg. All he wanted was a better contact because his original one was terrible.

I doubt it (and I hope not). He has already pretty much said that unless Banner goes out picks up some "threats" he is going to walk.

I guess he is tired of throwing it at Westbrook, Jackson and R. Brown's feet and wants someone new to under-throw.

There's no way in hell the Eagles would bring TO back. He's no where near as good as he was before anyway.

And Andrew, remember, he didn't even play in the playoffs until the Super Bowl, so IMO you can't say he got them there.

Fair enough, he (helped very much to) get them to the (playoffs and the) Superbowl.

It just comes down to the fact that McNabb rules the roost over there and due to a little girl school yard fight we gave up him up. There is no denying that he will do down in history as one of the best WR's to play the game. And due to a little girl school yard fight the Eagles will never get him again, unless maybe McNabb is gone. I don't think Andy is all that smart but I do think he wants to win a superbowl. And it doesn't take a football genius to know that it would really help to have a superstar stud wide reicever (again).

I think it is more likely that T.O. wouldn't come back to the Eagles. They really didn't treat him very well. His contract was terrible and the Eagles knew it. All he wanted was a contract that reflected how well he played the prevoius season and how much dedication he showed (I will reinterate, dude played in the Superbowl against Dr's orders with a broken leg). And the Eagles basically said no, you can keep your contract, shut your mouth and be nice to little golden-boy Donavan or we are going to put you in a time out.

That is what I've put together from what I've read and heard on the radio.

Hmmm, we see this way differently. I don't think TO will ever be asked back anywhere he's played before. He's played for three teams, and basically caused controversy with each team, specifically each one of his quarterbacks, while there...first Garcia, then McNabb and finally Romo. To me that seems to lead to the point that TO is the issue, not his teammates or teams. Like TO said about Garcia, if it smells like a rat.....

Does McNabb rule the roost? No doubt! He should...he's the franchise quarterback. But I honestly don't think him being "the golden boy" had anything to do with the situation. IMHO, it was Owen's issue from the start.

FWIW, my understanding is McNabb didn't want to talk contract extension until he saw what the Eagles did in free agency. I read into that, that he wanted to see if they finally got him any stud skill position players, specifically a WR. So far....

Actually that requires the removal of half of his original brain capacity.

Buffalo will be better b/c of T.O.
Dallas will be better b/c of the lack of T.O.
and I'm happier because I don't have to root for T.O.
