Terrell Owens...........?

It was pretty obvious what he said.....I played the rewind button on my dvr and he said to his offensive coach.....Quote "Why the fock am I here"?

 

True colors shine through..........however he does have a point.

NO! He doesn't have a point! This guy is a piece of crap and needs to shut his pie hole! I am so sick of his antics on the sidelines! He needs to just go away! What a cancer. Yelling at his coaches, yelling at his teammates! What a complete freak show!

[D'ohmer Simpson 0]

Did the offensive coach reply, "Well if you wouldn't short arm passes maybe we'd throw to you more often."

[PackYourNut 47]

Hmm to me it looked like...

 

"I am a self-absorbing piece of sh!t and I deserve the smack down I jsut got... I was so scared to go across the middle, that I short armed several passes. I think I will take some more pills"

The NFL is not static. The star receivers today are Steve Smith, Larry Fitzgerald (hope he`s OK), Lee Evans, Chad Johnson, etc. Terrell Owens is past his prime, with a QB who is even MORE past his prime. Thankfully for the NFL and it`s fans, it won`t be too long before Owens will be but a distant memory in football lore.

[Cruzer 1,996]

I agree with TO, he should have abused that secondary. And if anybody else noticed, Terry Glenn was screaming too - where's the thread on him?

 

On the flip side - maybe the coaches/Bledsoe have more faith in TO if he doesn't miss all of camp.

lee evans? are you his brother? j/k

 

anyway, I can't see how anyone else could expect anything different for TO. Its hitting the point where he has become a parody of himself...

[cyclone24 1,940]

 

 

I caught the "why the fock am i here!" one...and did you see the other one he had?

 

 

He walked off and goes, "Are you focking kidding me?!!"

 

 

 

 

Now i am not a cowboy fan or supporter of TO.....but WTF is he supposed to do? He wants to win, hes clearly the best player on the team...and he cant get Bledsoe to throw him the ball.

 

THis isnt like Scottie Pippen sitting out because he didnt get the ball in hoops....he wasnt the best player on the floor.....Owens, Moss?...those guys are the best you have....so i give them a little pass when they get ticked because nobody gets them the ball. I would be mad too.

 

And hes right really....Why the fock is he there if you dont throw to him? If your going ot put up with his BS...he might as well be getting you 100 and 2 tds a game

[lickin_starfish 2,027]

I'm sure that he will get plenty of passes now that he has publicly criticized Drew Bledsoe.

[PackYourNut 47]

Waiting patiently for the media outburst, public bashing of the QB adn the O-coordinator and the ineveitable suspension... Then of course the "I told you so's" from all the Eagle fans...

 

T.O. has B.O.

game day emotion. some guys play with it. some guys don't. maybe all of the nfl players should act like lifeless baseball players?

[iforgotmypassword 0]

not that I'm backing up TO, because i'm not...

 

But Bledsoe was Focking TERRIBLE yesterday.

 

I'd be pissed too, if I had the oppurtunity to RAPE my arch rival's secondary, and my QB threw every single pass to the other team. The Eagles should have had at least 7 interceptions.

 

Sure, TO dropped one. But he still would have had 10+ catches for ~200yds and 2TD's if his QB wasn't throwing with his eyes closed.

 

like another poster said, TO wasn't the only Dallas WR pissed about their QB's suckiness. But we don't have threads about them....

[cowboyz 2]

Did the offensive coach reply, "Well if you wouldn't short arm passes maybe we'd throw to you more often."

no, the coach said lets just blame everything on TO and get ready for next season

[edjr 7,031]

Only cowboy fans that are blind thought the day wouldn't come that T.O. would call out Bledslow

[IN$TANT REPAY 11]

yeah but what 99% of all people including those in the fox booth will not even talk about is that after TO's rant on the sidelines, he went over to bledsoe and gave him dap when the got the ball back.

[underslope 0]

The guy is an emotional player who knows he can make a difference if he has the ball. Yeah the antics are ridiculous but there is not a great player out there that doesn't want the ball......Jordan wanted it, CJ wants it, Hell, Portis has a commercial that says just promise me when the games on the line call MY number......I though it was great seeing some fire out of the guy.....

The Eagles were responsible for Bledsoe's suckiness. The great Brett Favre wasn't so great against them either and they had no sacks against him. The D Eagles scheme in both games exposed the weaknesses of the QBs.

 

The o-line had only given-up 3 sacks until yesterday and the Eagles has 7 and a lot more hurries and pressure.

 

I didn't hear anything about the QB suckiness after the blow-out of the Titans.

yeah, steve smith didn't pout during the super bowl when his team was getting waxed did he? and shockey never complains about anything while he is on the playing field or in the locker room.

[Sho Funaki 0]

Wow the media is all over this TO not getting the ball enough and Bledsoe not doing good. Nobody is giving the Eagles D backs any credit. The reason TO did'nt get the ball a lot and why Glenn didn't have a great game(besides the great pressure from the d line) was partly because the dbacks did their jobs. The Eagles secondary is TOTALLY beat up but they held their own. They did what they knew they had to do against TO. get very physical with him and it discouraged him. TO had chances. He came over the middle once and saw greg lewis coming at him and short armed the ball and then on the one interception that was tipped he could have gone back for the ball and at least played defender but he didn't. h e stood there to make the pass look worse then it was. he's a self centered, selfish, egotistical jerk and he will destroy that team just like he did others. good luck cowboys your stuck with him.

Well, there's the aforementioned short arming of passes. Guess Bledsoe didn't feel he could trust him.

T.O. had several cameras following his every move on the field and on the side, and everything he did was gonna be scrutinized by the broadcasting team.

 

What he did or said, while it was over the top a bit, was no more or less than what Steve Smith, Marvin Harrison, and other WRs do when they feel they aren't being utilized properly.

 

This whole thing's a non-issue.

[Woble Eth 11]

Of course, he could state he doesn't care on national radio ala Randy Moss.

 

At least he had some energy and fire - and was angry - for good reason - also, for all of his tirades, he was seen on the sidelines cheering on and being very supportive of his defense when they were trying to get the ball back late.

 

I am a 37 year Eagles fan, 11 year season ticket holder and while angered by TO - I never doubted his will to win. Stupid and irrational? Yes, but it all comes in the same package - a package the Eagles and the Cowboys KNEW they were getting when they called that press conference, and were ll smiles and dry-humping and holding the team "OWENS 81" jersey up.

Exactly why some smart franchises said... "NO ###### WAY" when T.O. wanted to join their team.

This is spot on. Even on the 2nd to last series - that 50 yard bomb to Owens was 10 yards short, which is exactly why it was picked off. Owens was wide open and it would have been an easy score had Bledsoe put enough on that ball. But no - he threw a wobbly weak-armed 3 flies up floater and it got picked just like those kinds of terrible passes do in the NFL.

 

I love everyone blaming Owens for yesterday's game....the Cowboys secondary got TORCHED by uh, Hank Baskett and Bledsoe had one of the worst games of his career when he got hurried, knocked down and sacked all day and somehow it's Owens fault they lost. It's Owens being a cancer when he's wide open and complaining about it and meanwhile Glenn's yelling at Bledsoe too and no one says a word about that.

 

You people amuse me to no end.

[Walter34 3]

The bottomline is that WRs are just not that important when it comes to Ws and Ls. Games are won and lost with QBs, the trenches and impact defensive players. Owens, Chad, Branch - whoever - they just dont matter all that much.

[football_scooter 0]

Well, there's the aforementioned short arming of passes. Guess Bledsoe didn't feel he could trust him.

 

Right - Bledsoe "didn't trust him" when throwing from his back all day. Too bad all you saw was the sports center highlight of Owen's making the comment on the sideline...Maybe some of you schmucks commenting should try actually watching the game before offering opinions on it.

[Mark_it_8_Dude 0]

Personally, i don't think TO is the best receiver on the team. He might think he is, but... Terry Glenn. Nobody can argue that he is not having a much better season than the childish one.

 

Go Terry!

[Nomad99 840]

Several observations on this game from a non dallas homer standpoint( I do have bledsoe on my team & played him.......not a great outing but he outscored my opponant's QB & I'll get the W)

 

1. Mcnabb looked great & has a good chance to end up as MVP if he keeps it up.

 

2. The Eagles D played.....ok....not great......the score reflects more on my next point rather than the effectiveness of the Eagles D.

 

3. The offensive playcalling was the deciding factor in this game. I know Bledsoe from his time in NE & his weaknes is his inability to move. I spent many frustrated years wondering why the Pat's never put together a line that could protect him from the rush & play off his arm strenth. Given the ability to step back, scan options, set & throw......against a dinged up 2ndary....Bledsoe is able to pick apart a D. He was not given that chance yesterday. He stuck with what play was sent in.....I didn't see any audibles so my guess is Tuna didn't give him that option. The final interception.........Who in their right mind sent that play in???? dallas had no business throwing the ball where they did.

 

You can say what you want about Bledsoe.....most of it is obvious to any who know, especially in a pressure situation........but the owness on this one goes to the coaching staff....they never used the best weapons they had available, Owens & Glenn.

 

 

Congrats to you Iggles fans......McNabb is the man! Dallas homers........tough one to swallow.

Except that I don't think any of those players have had to be suspended and then kicked off a team for conduct detrimental

 

Owens was wide open and it would have been an easy score

Not exactly true. Owens was pretty well covered, and had Bledsoe been able to throw it even close to on target, BDawk (coming in from their right) probably would have broken it up anyway. Instead, he had to run up the field to pick it off.

[Gratefulegg1973 271]

I'm sick of TO's crap too, but he's 100% right for going off. First of all, why do they have him running primarily 3 yard routes? He's bigger, faster, and stronger than anybody else on the field, yet the coaches never send him on anything but a short pattern. Sure, it's opening things up for Glenn, Witten, etc, but if he's going to be a decoy every week, then I'd be pretty pissed too.

 

As far as the short-arm comment, watch the play again. That was (as usual) a 3 yard route, that Bledsoe threw high and wide. I wouldn't want him getting his head taken off for a 4 yard gain because his idiot QB can't even throw a 5 yard out pass.

 

Say what you want about TO and his antics. But when he's on the field, he wants to win and he thinks he gives his team the best chance to win.

The Eagles D is EXACTLY why he wasn't able to do that yesterday. When they weren't in his face, knocking him around and/or otherwise frustrating the hell out of him, his receivers were blanketed downfield allowing the rush to eventually get him. Complete defensive gameplan and it worked great!

[Mark_it_8_Dude 0]

Sorry, but I have never seen Marvin Harrison pitch a fit over anything. Marvin is a total class act and should not even be mentioned in the same breath as TO. I don't think I can recall ever seeing Steve Smith act that way either. Perhaps your example would be better suited to Keyshawn Johnson and Randy Moss, now there are a couple of guys capable of pitching a fit.

 

TO knew he was going to have cameras on him all day, and he could choose to take that opportunity to demonstrate that he has grown up and can act like a professional, or he could use it to show what a spoiled little cry-baby he could be. Knowing TO you would have to know what choice he was going to make.

 

I think that his career is just about finished, and it is really kind of a shame that he will be remebered more for his "I love me some me," attitude then for the skills he had as a player. I really don't see that another team will ever pick him up again, I think this was his last chance, and he really is blowing it.

Huh? I don't have the stats on yesterday's game, but Owens got a ton of balls thrown at him yesterday, esp. in the 4th quarter.

 

The problem was clearly Bledsoe's suckiness. Every other pass was woefully underthrown. He's lucky he only got picked off three times. Just ask Terry Glenn.

 

Owens is usually the jackarse in these incidents, but he has every right to be pissed off this time. Bledsoe lost that game singlehandedly yesterday.

I seem to remember TO dropping passess in some games this year (TDs to boot) and running the wrong routes, too. Now, he is short-arming passess against the team he "had circled on his calendar". He came-up SMALL in the the biggest game of his season. I actually think that he ran the wrong route on the 1st Sheppard INT and that's why it was so underthrown. He reacted to the coverage and Bledsoe stuck with the play. But, anyway, it wasn't TOs finest hour, although that's is nowhere near the reason the Cowboys lost.

If you think TO is the best player on this team you are mistaken. He is not even the best WR. What has he done to earn this respect? Remember we are not talking about the TO of 2-3 years ago. I think this is a real insult to the other Cowboy players.
