With Portis injured and TO making a mockery of Dallas

[Jarvis Basnight 119]

Eagles are still cream of the crop in the division.

 

 

You are so blinded by homerism that it causes a break with reality. Why have I noticed that Eagles fans are some of the worst with this? If the Eagles end up dead last in the division AGAIN (remember they were last in 2005?) you should expect to eat your fair share of crow.

 

This topic is ridiculous.

(remember they were last in 2005?)

Yeah, because of TO, McNabbs injury from Game 1 and then gone for the season and Westbrook gone for the season. Lose your 3 biggest and best offensive weapons and lets see what happens to your team.

 

Talk about blind

[texasmouth 1]

Washington's lone offensive weapon is injured and TO is making a mockery of Dallas' training camp - did you see him wearing a bicycle helmet and bicycle team jersey riding the stationary bike all the while Parcells and Jones crying that TO needs to be practicing, even if he really is injured - the division is coming down to the Eagles and the Giants.

 

Should be a battle

Keep dreaming.

 

This is stupid, even for you.

Trouble follows TO everywhere he goes and right now he is causing problems in Dallas. Maybe he isn't actualy doing anything to stir the pot, but at this point his presence alone creates tension, worries, and concerns. It gives the media something to dwell on, pester the coach about, and creates an automatic sense of chaos. TO might not be causing problems in Dallas, but the ghost of TO's past certainly is. It is unavoidable. And if the ghost of TO's past ever collides with the ghost of TO present, then you can strap the ball and chain to the Cowbody's ankles cuz they aren't going anywhere but down.

[dcOne 2]

You forgot to list how many SB's you won and how many rings you have.

 

Beats listing how few SB rings you've won.

 

 

right now he is causing problems in Dallas.

 

 

Link?

ZERo doesnt count for how FEW.

 

Let Dumbass Simpson toot his own horn all he wants, then it will be excuse after excuse just like last season when his team sucks the big one.

Well if we have to rely on history, the Eagles have Three Championships. But anytime you have to revert to history means you can't face living in the here and now. And here and now isn't boding well for the Redskins or Dallas.

You are really jumping the gun on this one. You want something to go wrong with TO in Dallas so bad that you jump on any little thing. Steve Smith is sitting with the same injury. No one is bashing him. TO will be fine. Stop and trying to find something to be happy with. You will at least have a good draft pick again next season after finishing last in the division again.

So your thinking is Westbrook + McNabb - T.O. = division crown? Last year Philly was 0-6 in the division.....and now they're going to be the cream of the crop because they got a decent RB back who's made of glass and McNabb? Meanwhile their WR's may consist of 2 rookies and a 2nd year guy.

 

I think you'd be much better off taking a wait and see attitude before coming in here and shooting your mouth off about how great your team is when they were sooooo worthless last year.

 

Who you crappin?

[dcOne 2]

But anytime you have to revert to history means you can't face living in the here and now.

 

 

Here and now? Their both 0-0.

 

Last few years? They both won 0 Superbowls.

 

History: 5 SB's Dallas, 0 Eagles.

 

And here and now isn't boding well for Dallas.

Owens mocks injury, wears cycling uniform

 

Owens has been plotting his latest fashion statement since his first few days on the sideline. As much as he enjoyed the stunt, his initial plan would’ve been even more eye-catching.

 

“I couldn’t find a yellow jersey. I looked,” he said. “This was the best I could come up with. It’s cool.”

 

Teammates apparently knew what he was up to because several turned to watch his grand unveiling. Owens took his time, too, first removing his baseball cap then smoothing out the jersey beneath his sweatshirt.

 

Once he pried off the sweatshirt, he plopped on the helmet and a pair of sunglasses, then soaked in the attention.rink

 

Good ole TO, loving that attention. But maybe he should be "plotting" on playing football, rather than wardrobe choices

[Cruzer 1,995]

And here and now isn't boding well for the Redskins or Dallas.

this is ridiculous statement. it's boding no better or worse for the entire division.

 

* the entire division is just about equally talented - the gap has closed

* every team has their concerns

* every team packs a nasty defense

* no team can afford a major injury to a major player, espcially at qb

* it's totally possible the division is won with 10-6, i think 11-5 is a lock.

[dcOne 2]

they got a decent RB back who's made of glass and McNabb?

 

McNabb has proven his worth the past 6 years. He fails every time he's presented with opportunity. Good luck with that. So long as he's starting, the Eagles will flop.

[D'ohmer Simpson 0]

Steve Smith is sitting with the same injury. No one is bashing him.

Hmmm, I don't think SS has the history that TO has. Could be wrong.....

[Sho Nuff 720]

Jones beleives him so much that now he is telling him he's gonna have to practice "through the pain"? Well which is it, do they beleive he is hurt? Or that he is going to have to practice, despite him being hurt??

 

He believes him enough to say even at 80% or so he should practice...funny thing is...he has practiced...he is running...he has caught some passes. Which is it? Funny thing is...it can be both....

 

And who are we to beleive, an MRI or someone like TO? Okay, let's say he's not really hurt but he feels pain. Does that mean he has to make a mockery out of camp and wear a bicycle helment and jersey when lazily riding the stationary bike

Yeah, just mine. But it sure did get a lot of panties in a bunch.

 

yes...Dr. Dohmer...MRIs show everything right?

He stated he was board with riding the bike all the time. Only a few haters like you think this is making a mockery out of camp. It was a joke. It sure got your panties in a bunch.

 

 

Wow look at all the Cowboy Fans in denial, they are actually hoping TO's injury is real. I'll bet the Eagle fans are enjoying this but not as much as the 49er fans. I think the reaction to this tread would show you what a distarction he is, he has managed to distract the entire board.

 

Too bad Im a packer fan and do not really even like TO.

 

But nice strawman argument.

[Phurfur 70]

Green Bay Packers - 12 World Championship and the only team to win 3 in a row which they did twice. Now enough history let's worry about our Fantasy Football Teams. Those are the only championships I care about.

TO is not a stupid football player, he is an idiot when it comes to PR, but not when it comes to getting healthy or playing. He would be out there practicing if he wasn't hurt. I mean the guy came back from a broken leg ahead of schedule to play in the SB. Like him or hate him the guy busts his ass to play. He isn't cripple, but he isn't stupid enough to go out there and aggravate the crap out of his leg so that it becomes a nagging injury for the rest of the season. If he were a rookie or even 3rd year player I could see him pushing it to secure a roster spot. There is no point in it at this point in the season. What if he went in there and tore it up and missed 4 games this season, then everyone would be on him and Parcells about being stupid. The media is just looking for the next scoop and TO isn't going to let them leave without something, thus the Lance Armstrong jersey. Believe me, Parcells doesn't mind that, he minds the 5,000 TO questions everyday. If it goes south, blame the media. TO always shows up when he has to, plays harder than 99% of all other WR's in the league and rarely disappoints. I think that the biggest weakness in Dallas is Bledsoe at this point and that isn't all that bad. I think that it is enough to keep them from winning the division, but it won't be TO that causes that.

 

Portis will be back for opening day. He will probably do walk throughs and stuff the rest of the preseason and should be no worse for wear. I have had numerous shoulder injuries throughout my career of being a fat ass couch potato and know that a dislocation is nothing to worry about. Once again this is just another injury being blown out of proportion. At this point it is merely cautionary. He is still going to have a great year. For the Portis owners out there, just be glad that it happened now when it doesn't count and for those of us high on him, he should come cheaper. Between that sick defense and a much better offense I see them doing very well this year. Get them some more practice in that system and Brunell is going to have a career year. Lloyd and Moss will be very good, Cooley is going to be a top 3 TE this year, but Randle El is going to be a minimal impact. Perhaps on punt returns or a few gimmick plays, nothing earthshattering though. Legit comtenders for the division though.

 

Not everything in the Giants camp is hunky-dory right now. Players are complaining about Coughlin already, the defense is taking longer to gel than they should IMHO, and Burress and Shockey are just a notch below TO in headache causing. Neither spent time in the offseason working with Manning either. I just think that with all of the moves in the offseason and the level of talent they had that this isn't a major upgrade over last year. I like Arrington's talent, but he is not a system guy and is still trying to get healthy. I don't see him being as productive as they would like. I could see a better team on paper ending up with a worse record this year in New York. I like their team on paper, but I don't see it meshing and they will not win the division this year.

 

The Eagles were bad last year, we all know that, but with a healthy McNabb and a little bit deeper stable of RB's they will be very tough this year. Nobody talks about that defensive line, but over the last few years they have built what I consider an elite squad of depth of young talent. They'll be able to rotate fresh guys in all day long and they will be tough. Their offensive line is more experienced and healthy as well. The WR's are still several steps below the upper echelon, but Brady never had a true stud and he did fine working the ball around to everyone. I think that the Eagles are in the best position to win the division.

Causing problems? The only ones who thinks these are problems are the haters like Dohmer still pissed at what happened with the Eagles.

Look, you can harp on last years record all you want, but it was an anomoly because of TO and the injuries. Thank God that's over with. Prior to that 4 straight NFC Championship games.

So what? The point is guys do this all the time. It is only different because it is TO.

 

The thought of TO coming to Dallas and dominating is a thought the Eagles Phags cant handle. It is going to work out, and it is going to work out well. That is going to be a tough pill to swallow for you Eagles phags.

[Sho Nuff 720]

Good ole TO, loving that attention. But maybe he should be "plotting" on playing football, rather than wardrobe choices

 

Wow...a reporter said he is mocking it....it must be true....

[WhoDat 1]

keep an eye on Tony Romo.. I highly touted this guy out of college. This guy was in a great offensive scheme in college, but the guy has passing skils for sure. He has no lack of confidence. He will do a good job for Dallas when given the opportunity if Bledsoe gets hurt....

[Sho Nuff 720]

I agree, the media has a tendency to always make things worse, and right now, the media is acting against Dallas too.

Yep, I like Romo myself. Hand picked by Parcells. He looked really solid in that preseason game. I liked that thing he did, it was like he was "moving around" in the pocket, I think the announcers called it "scrambling." I asked Drew Bledsoe about it after the game and he said "Scrambling? Never heard of it."

Yeah, because of TO's history. Thanks!

How'd those go for ya?

TO wahhhhh booo hoooo boooo hooo TO wahhhhhhh booo hoo booooo hooo

[D'ohmer Simpson 0]

True, the lack of a pass rush really hurt us. But TO causing problems before the season began, McNabb injured in the first game, then gone for the season, then Westy gone too, that was pretty much it.

[Phurfur 70]

I think this is all that matters, what is TO's Fantasy value this year? I had him ranked #1 a month ago, right now I have him at #5.

[D'ohmer Simpson 0]

texas, I'd expect more from you. Shame on you

[luckdogg17 0]

LOL. homo simpson acts like the eagles are obvious superbowl contenders or something. who knows? they could bounce back and be good again but they seem a lot more likely to finish last than first in their division.

 

Portis is washington's only weapon? he's obviously their best weapon, but only? he'll probably be back for the regular season. maybe not quite at 100% but it's way too stupid to say washington is already out of contention.

 

TO. so far there has really been nothing but rumors about him. he could be faking the injury to get out of camp, or it could be real. he is a jackass and seems to not have learned much from what happened last year. he is an attention ###### and since sportscenter kept showing him riding the exercise bike, he decided to beg for even more attention by wearing his gay little outfit. it seems like a pretty harmless stunt though. who was it really hurting? not traveling with the team doesn't really look good but who really cares? you would think that he would be going out of his way to act like a good teammate after last year but i guess that isn't going to happen. i'm going to wait to pass judgement on this situation until something factual is reported or until we see some of his sideline antics during the regular season. if he is faking the injury then that would be hurting the team by not developing chemistry and getting timing down and what not but there is really no way to prove he is faking so for now i'll give him the benefit of the doubt for some reason.

Dont lie, that at least made you laugh a little......

 

 

I am so excited that it is finally football season again........

[shasha 0]

Yeah, the rest of the division caught up to them and took them by surprise, those games were marked down as W's the day the schedule came out in previous years. I don't see them taking it for granted again this year.

 

No one will go undefeated in this division, but the Eagles are a completely different team with a happy, healthy McNabb which they didn't have after week 1 vs Atlanta. He definitely wasn't happy before that. He is the best QB in the division and they have arguably the best defense in there as well. And for all of the talent that the other teams have on paper, there are just as many holes and question marks with each of them or surrounding them. The Eagles have the more recent history of success in that divison as well.

[Jarvis Basnight 119]

The WR's are still several steps below the upper echelon, but Brady never had a true stud and he did fine working the ball around to everyone. I think that the Eagles are in the best position to win the division.

 

Whoa! Do you really want to get into this conversation? All things being equal, both teams having crappy receivers to throw to......Tom Brady vs. Donovan McNabb?

 

I think the results speak....no....scream for themselves. One of them is a proven winner and one is not.

[D'ohmer Simpson 0]

Whoa, jump to conclusions there much? And thanks for flaming me

 

In no way am I saying they are SB contenders. Not yet anyway. All I'm simply saying is that right now the division is between the Eagles and Giants. Calm down.

One thing that I hate about this Eagles VS Cowboys argument is I am a huge McNAbb fan. I love the way the guy plays and I think he is a real leader. I also like Andy Reid, great coach. Westy is a stud and I think the Eagles have a star in the making in Hank "dont touch my" Baskett. That being said, I still think the Eagles finish dead last even though I would much rather see the Foreskins there since I hate them way worse. The Giants fans are more tolerable that Eagles fans so I hate the Giants the least......

 

The TO crap sucked in philly, even though I am a Cowboys fan, I secretly liked watching McNabb and Owens that first year, it was just good football. I am a Cowboys homer but I am a football fan and what those two guys had was magic. TO is a jackass for screwing that up over money. The money he makes from playing football is unimportant, if he was smart, he would have cashed in on his personality and made tons and tons of money off the field in endorsing everything in Philly that he could. Philly fans took the guy in and loved him, which is about as rare as seeing bigfoot, then he crapped right in their laps, the hate for TO is reall understandable.

 

I have welcomed TO with open arms into my Cowboys circle but I am watching my back for knives......
