TO bailing out Bills?
Posted on 3/8/09 at 3:49 pm
Posted on 3/8/09 at 3:49 pm
With the economy the way it is, and with Ralph Wilson Jr. at 90 years old...does TO offer a chance to bring national media to Buffalo as a way of financially aiding the Bills?
It's not like the Bills are short on money, but simply that they could make more money in a bigger market. Nobody wants Buffalo to move except NFL execs and maybe the City of Toronto. Bringing TO in will undoubtedly boost jersey sales, maybe ticket sales, appearances on nationally televised games, more primetime coverage, and generally speaking, more to talk about on NFL Network and NFL Live, etc, etc.
RW Jr. said he just wanted to try and get a winner asap, which will also boost media attention and revenue for the Bills. Is this the type of move that is really for on the field productivity? Or is this a way for the Bills to stay above water in Western NY?

What? Dude last year before injuries the wide outs are good. the oline has been brutal.
Reed is above avg possession receiver
Parrish everytime he touches a ball is excitement.
Lee Evans is a man beast

Eric Moulds was pretty good when he was there too

Peerless Price was great as a 2.

last year the offense started to falter when Reed got hurt...he's important wide out to that team.

Ron, you might know some sports..but if you don't think everytime Roscoe touches a ball it's excitign then you have not did your homework. There's a reason he's a fan favorite in Buffalo...he's a touchdown/big play waiting to happen.

Moulds and Price were a very good 1, 2 punch

Bledsoe actually had some good numbers in Buffalo, but then Dallas thought it would translate to wins...big mistake.
Otherwise, the Bills haven't had a legit qb since Flutie was under center...
Maybe this is the Rob Johnson curse. You know, when Flutie takes the team to the playoffs, then you bench him for Rob Johnson against the Titans...then Flutie bails him out by marching the Bills down the field to a game leading field goal...then the Music City Miracle. Seriously...it was all down hill from there.

TO will offer a deep threat and spread out the defense. Buffalo is committed to running the ball so this might help.
I would not sign TO if I was an owner, just saying.

Bills fans call it the curse of Flutie..but Flutie is still loved in that town. Flutie Flakes were awesome.
Naaa I didn't go to the Toronto game..had a few friends make the trip..they said it was terrible.

have you been watching football for longer than 2 years? that was a good combo. Moulds has some really good career numbers
Posted on 3/8/09 at 4:08 pm to Drunken Clams
Look...we all TO makes them better on paper, and probably on the field. Locker room shite aside...how will this HELP the Bills in the pocketbook. I'm thinking this was more than simply to add a deep threat receiver. By the way...I think the 6.5 mil. deal is good for the Bills.
