Owens out for season, probably playoffs

wils0646 · 12-20-2004, 05:35 PM

Did you guys hear this? Wow, the Eagles were thinking about benching him for the rest of the season just to avoid injury because they already clinched a playoff spot. But they didn't follow through and their best playmaker is gone for the season. Apparently he tore some ligaments in his right ankle and with watching ESPN, the bottom ticker says he broke part of his leg too. Ouch.

That really sucks. I hope he has a full recovery. I always hate seeing an athlete go down....

Bring on the "OMG HE DESERVED IT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!''

Nerdcraft · 12-20-2004, 05:44 PM

Haha, I'm glad he's injured, no athlete deserves to be injured, but I can still be happy about it. Guess there's always next year for the Eagles

I've never liked TO, and especially when he was so immature to go ripping signs off of the stands in Cleveland because he didn't like them

12-20-2004, 05:51 PM

Another season down the shitter for the Eagles. I fucking love this. Roy Williams fucking gave him what he needed........a broken fibula. Being a bitch just caught up to T.O. and now he is done for the season. ESPN just said that he would be lucky to even play in the Super Bowl if the Eagles made it that far. That wont happen.

Yea, me too. I was watching the Packers game last night and damn that hit to Robert Ferguson made me cringe. Apparently he was temporarily paralyzed with a concussion and a neck sprain. It happens in a game like football and nobody deserves it. I hated TO, but damnit people are stupid when they cheer this injury.

TheDawgPound72 · 12-20-2004, 07:23 PM

I hope he comes back and the Eagles lose with him. Im tired of hearing complaints about if the Eagles had a big time WR, they would have made it to the Super Bowl by now. I want to see him back, 100% healthy, and a team like the Pack or the Vikings annihilate them. Then, the Eagles will complain they lose because they didn't have a big-time punter.

SliddY · 12-20-2004, 08:53 PM

Eh, before the season my friends and I picked teams to win it all, and my first pick was The Eagles. Like 'em or not, they are/were a good team.

Yay took long enough for a comment like this. Look, I would never wish injury on an athlete no matter how much I didn't like him. All you people just hate him because he plays for the other guys. Sure he can be cocky on the field, but that shows his emotion and character. TO's a decent guy too. Ever hear of him doing bad shit off the field like drugs? Nope, never. You look at some other players who show nothing on the field but do the opposite off it (Jamal Lewis and his drug charge, and those two Raiders who got drunk).

Well, there goes the Eagles season, who's up for a Steelers-Falcons Superbowl?

Anybody?

Damn you guys almost stampeded me as you lept from the bandwagon. Please, slow down, walk, there's no rush to jump on the next one.

The Eagles are still a very good team w/o TO, though even when TO doesn't make any TD's, the main thing he does is pull the extra saftey and gets the double team which opens it up for McNabb to hit someone else. The Eagles have been a team of guys that someone always steps up in a time of need. They've done it the last three years. Remember how empty that bandwagon was when McNabb got hurt, then Koy, then AJ Feely of all people came in and wupped some ass? C'mon, wait until the season is actually over before you scream "it's all over".

ps, The NFC Championship game still goes through Philly...again, so with or without TO, he'll be on the sidelines to dance and piss some of you off when they win. lol

Yep, that's true. TO said that the Eagles still have the guys to get it done and he's right. Who was the leading receiver the last several games? Not TO, but Westbrook. A running back. With him and McNabb leading the charge and if Mitchell, G. Lewis, the tight ends, and Pinkston (especially) step up, then Philly should still have a great chance at success.

poopchow · 12-20-2004, 11:10 PM

I always liked TO. I dont mind trash talkers as long as that is their style. I dont like it when bitches go all bitchy (McNardd)

Hope he gets a full recovery but he should take him time

12-20-2004, 11:38 PM

The Eagles will still probably make it, because of Brian Westbrook's versatility.

But if they lose in another NFC Championship game, the complaining will never end. It will all be, "Well our star player got hurt." Just like last season. And that's a terrible excuse. Championship teams overcome adversity, so we're gonna see if this team is a championship team.

12-20-2004, 11:57 PM

If TO was on another team, I'd hate the fucker with a passion, but I do like when he talks shit on and off the field. The only thing I'm concerned about TO being out, is what he does to other teams defensive plans. They double-team him, sometimes triple team him, and that leaves guys like Stinkston, and ThatotheReciever out there to make some catches. Westbrook can't carry the load into the playoffs. Other teams are gonna wiseup so fast and watch, next week he's gonna have that extra coverage spying him that normally guys to TO. The injury hurts the team on many levels of play. We'll have to see how the Birds do after a real opponent comes to town, and then we'll know whether or not to put the bandwagon in the garage until next season. I'm thinking they still have the depth and talent to make a great run at the 'Bowl again this year. Who knows.
