Watching the local sports chan. and he now is saying that TO threw Bledsoe under the bus in the press conference. They played a clip about him saying i'm not pulling the trigger and he isn't pointing fingers :rolleyes:

It all started on the sidelines during the game...Owens is ready to return to the Owens of old that has been hiding. I don't know how all the plays are designed, but did it look to anyone else that he was running all his routes half speed?

No, what it looked like is what was happening, Bledsoe holds the ball to LONG!
I have always given him the benefit of the doubt, yes, the OL, was not getting all the defenders blocked, but you expect that when they send more than your OL can block, Bledsoe has to look see and throw the ball to someone that is open, or has a step , or just throw it away.

When he had loads of time, he was still holding the ball.

Why isn't Glenn getting any attention for his frustrations? I understand TO has a past, but Glenn was the first to throw a fit today.

I can't blame either one for their frustration. If Bledsoe could side step a rush Both were behind the defense on more than one occasion.

I saw the one would be TD play where TO started holf speed and turned it on, but I thought that was by design....maybe not.

TO's a jerk. I didn't see anyone jumping up and down and yelling at him when he alligator armed that ball over the middle. I wish Michael Lewis would have nailed him anyway.

Of course Aikman and Babe never saw another Cowboy WR screaming on the sidelines to get him the ball did they?

Maybe Babe should call up good ole' Coach Axe and ask him if ever got screamed at during a Cowboy game when things were going bad for the Cowboy offense.

B I N G O!! You just hit that right on with the last comment. Drew Deadsoe doesn't have ANY pocket awareness I mean no one is asking him to be a Michael Vick just a heady QB with some mobility INSIDE THE POCKET!!!

TO could have gained unlimited support if he would have taken Bledsoes head off.

Seriously, Glenn snapped long before TO. But the media wants a story and nobody will care if Glenn gets upset, but as soon as TO does it, oh boy it's on. Everywhere people will say he is causing a rift in the locker room. Poor Bledsoe, despite his valiant effort, was thrown under the bus by the demonic TO(at which point the tv station will add red horns atop TO's head for dramatic effect).

Of course Bledsoe holds it too long...of course he is not one of the top QB's....we know that. But if you don't think T.O.'s antics on the sideline were a distraction, please....look how many players and coaches were trying to calm him down and get him to control himself...he was an embarrassment, yelling at the OL, yelling at the defense, complaining about the QB...he is a disgrace as a teammate.

For whatever it's worth, both Terry Glenn and TO were completely justififed in being upset. The double standard is ridiculous though.

I have seen Michael Jordan curse and berate teammates on tv, and he was called a great competitor. TO does it, and he's the devil.

What are you a drama queen? You want to see some drama? What I saw was and everyone else that was watching the game with me, was T.O. getting on the OL, about protecting Bledsoe, trying to get them to get it together. We also saw him trying to get the defense fired up and to keep their head up and keep playing.

I do not blame T.O. or T.G. for getting upset, if Bledsoe let the ball go he could have eaten the eagles secondary up all day, but like you and I have agreed on he holds the ball too long.
Did you not see Glenn pitching a fit, throwing his helmet?
Don't tell me you do not remember Irvin patrolling the sidelines, fussing and cussing out anyone he thought was not playing up to the level.

You would really think I was a bad teammate, but in actuality I'm a great teammate just like T.O. is.

I would have been in everyone's face, especially the OL, and Bledsoe, RW's, PW would have gotten encouragement, because he is a rookie, in this type of war, but the next game he should be ready. Witten would have gotten my wrath, and yes the coaches as well.

Dude, you need to move around with all this pacifness, that you want to see on the sideline.

Great point.

It's hard to argue with the guy that says TO's the debil. TO has been a jerk in other places granted, but I'll take his fire and desire. I'd be happy to see him get in someone's ear hole.

Great competitor he is, problem so far....he isn't.

Well, I always thought the problems in Philly came when Donovan couldn't quite rise to TO's level. I think McNabb was a little sensitive about that, and that is when the relationship soured.
