obviously we're just guessing here but i'm saying intangibles like effort and chemistry are huge in the nfl and a guy like TO hurts you in those areas for several games a season, especially on a team like buffalo where he was a bad fit to begin with. i think they are better off without him and putting him on a poorly coached bengals team with another old, overrated receiver in chad johnson will not be good. i guess we'll see.
the injury issue is different. injuries and turnovers depend a lot on luck. not completely , but a decent amount. luck typically evens out over time. buffalo had a lot of injuries and a bad turnover differential last season. if that evens out this season, it could mean a couple more wins.
Well please dont base it on effort, because T.O. is not like Moss who takes plays off. He is the hardest worker on the field at all times. Everyone who plays with him says that. But he is arogant and a premadona, but those things IMO, dont take away from winning. Every team he has went to has one more games with him there then before he got there. I get irritated when people who dont like a player like T.O. have the misconception that hes lazy or not as good as people say he is. Him and Moss are the 2 best wrs since Rice. It really is that simple. Has he thrown people under the bus, Yes. Has he thrown temper tantrums when his team loses, Yes. Has he not been the best of teamates at all times, Yes. But he is the hardest worker on every team he has played for and gives 200% every play and every practice. He should be more humble in alot of peoples minds, but he has never bitched when his team one, just when they lose. No matter if he had no catches, if the team won hes fine with it. Srry to rant here but I see this all over the board daily about how hes overated and its just not true. The media does create alot of the hate for him but some is rightfully his to own.

And also, for all the athletes with off the field troubles he is one that has never been in trouble with the law for anything or any kind of drug allegations. And hes it looked at worse then many criminals and thats just amazing to me...

TO is definitely a great talent and he does work hard when he is winning and in the spotlight. but i think TO needs to be in the right situation, which small market, rebuilding buffalo definitely wasn't. if the bengals can put it together, he could be great again there, at least for a guy his age. but i'm skeptical.
in any case, i do like buffalo to win 6-8 games. the TO factor is just a small part of that.

also the fact that they will be healthy, at least to start the year, is essentially signing new players because so many of their starters, especially on the O line, missed significant time last year.
