Anyone see TO's comments after the NO/Buffalo game?

Yes, the ball was thrown to him 5 times, but Trent Edwards missed him on all 5. Seriously, I'm not being an apologist, that's just the truth.

How many times did Owens run his route correctly? It's the SAME THING as I said 500 times last season. He can't run a route to save his life and when he does he drops the ball!!!

When a receiver isn't where is supposed to be the QB will appear to miss.

your memory is worse than your debating skills.

and it's not about liking Owens. I do not. but saying his play "blew" is extremely inaccurate.

he led the league in drops, of course that means he blows.

yea, being 5th in the league in TD receptions is terrible. who would want that? you're a genius.
 
t.blow led the league in routes not run
led the league in routes gave up on
led the league in passes dropped
led the world in quarterback/teammates he turned the team on

And that was just last season!
 
Production PER PLAY was horrific with Owens. Anyone who would pick him for their fantasy team is as moronic as the Bills.
 
I know Tony is too mature to stoop to Terrell's level, but I hope he rips T.O. after tomorrow night if he plays well vs. Carolina and Dallas wins.

Something like, say if a reporter asks him a T.O.-related question, Tony responds with a smile on his face, "Oh sure, Terrell had a great game yesterday. How many catches again? I lost count."

look at his 1st down stats his last yr here and in Philly. That is almost a 50% decrease - have to ask why that is? A productive player moves the chains - period.

here's Andre Johnson's 2008 stats:

Look at those 1st downs...and he did it vs. double coverage so forth.

good observation, for sure.

and yet, as great as Johnson is, he hasn't once had a double digit TD season. T.O. did it all three years here. he also came with three 1,000 yard seasons.

T.O. may be a lot of things, but calling his time here unproductive is beyond idiotic.
 
He doesnt understand he isnt that good anymore. Age
 
Owens isn't that smart also when he speaks. He doesn't even know the difference between HGH and steroids. On his twitter account he called out Rodney Harrison saying he was a cheater for taking steroids, even though Harrison took HGH, which is a completely different substance. I guess this puts to rest that T.O. took any performance enhancing drugs...

The numbers he had the first two yrs here are awesome, that last yr was such a drop in 1st down production it's not even funny. He only made things worse by opening his mouth and blaming red head for his short comings. Also let's not forget the forced balls to T.O. that resulted in picks. Then at the end of the season he had TR on that it's red head's fault bandwagon. Let's be real the drama or "percieved drama" that T.O. brings just isn't worth it nowadays.
 
Here's my problem with the way Owens handles this stuff. True, "I just run the plays that are called" in and of itself is not necessarily a bash. But there is an undeniable hidden message behind that. And Owens -- and any other pro athlete -- knows it when they're conveying a message like that.

Most other players answer those questions something to the degree of: "Look, I missed all of preseason and my timing is off with Trent. We just weren't on the same page, whether it was him missing me or me not being where he expected me to be. Our offense as a whole just isn't in rhythm and it's something we'll work to improve."

But Owens doesn't answer questions that way 9 out of 10 times. He all but removes him from the situation, as if him going catchless isn't in the least his fault. It never is. As he made abundantly clear last year, he's open. He always is. The QB just can't find him or the right plays to get him the ball aren't called or he doesn't get the ball enough. Just don't look at him when things go wrong; it's clearly everyone else ****** up.

In the grand scheme, these comments aren't earth shattering. But they certainly give any fan listening to them a little bit of a squeamish feeling, as you can't help but wonder when he'll blow up. Because at some point, he always has.

No doubt. I had a friend asking me last week how in the world Dallas would replace TO's production. I showed him his game by game numbers, and how T.O. had like five-straight 30-yard games and the friend was like, 'Whoa. He only had three good games. Why is everyone making it such a big deal that he's gone?'

T.O.'s still a good player; certainly good enough to be on this team. I think he's still better than Roy Williams, and most certainly better than Crayton. Williams has a chance to surpass him this year, but he has to prove a TON to ever consider ranking Roy ahead of T.O. Regardless, T.O. isn't the top-of-the-line wideout he was in 2007. Yes, his production has dropped off considerably since then, as probably can be expected with a player of his age.

Would I prefer to have his talent here? Certainly. Because even if he's only 3/4 as good as he was in 2007, he's still a top 20 wideout. But he's no Pro Bowl player anymore -- a fact that will only be underscored by having Trent freaking Edwards as his quarterback.
 
TO enjoys the attention whether it's negative or positive. He gets these silly little grins that he has to hold back throughout a lot of his interviews.
 
When I saw he had zero catches I made sure to flip to ESPNnews. But what did he say? A guy tried to bait him and he gave cut and paste answers.

Of course a blow up is coming, but people really get a boner for him.

He was pressed about his performance and he said twice "I just run the plays that are called" or something to that extent. The typical sort of response he offers up when he has an off game.
