T.O. Just Goes With the Plays Called

Judging from his demeanor at press conferences this season, I think Terrell Owens is just about ready to pop. He’s obviously frustrated. And rightfully so. The Bills are 3-6 and T.O. only has 26 catches for 366 yards and one touchdown. To put it mildly, this season has been a complete disaster thus far.

After a sideline outburst during today’s 41-17 loss to the Tennessee Titans, Terrell was visibly annoyed with the media and sarcastic with his responses in his postgame presser. He continues to use the phrase: “I’m just going with the plays that are called.” Translated, that means the plays that are called stink.

T.O. was rather sullen after yesterday’s loss:

“Well, according to you (the media), I’m washed up and so is everybody else. It is what it is. I pay no mind to it. I hear it. I go out and I play. And again, I’m just going with the plays that are called. If I’m involved, I’m involved. If not, I try to do what I can with the running game ….. I’ve never been in this situation, with a losing record at this point in the season ….. Every team I’ve been on has been successful. And again, I’ve been involved everywhere that I’ve been.”

Clearly, that means that if T.O. was more involved in Buffalo, they would be successful. I think Terrell is trying to stay on his best behavior. And he would be well-advised to continue to do so. After all, this season is more or less an audition for next season when he certainly hopes to join a warmer weather contender. This one-year “experiment” with the Buffalo Bills was a mismatch from the get-go. And I would be stunned to see it continue beyond 2009.
