Ahh, I slept so good last night....! Before I went to bed, I stayed outside and looked at the :starspin :starspin :starspin :starspin :starspin in the sky....


It's good to be a fan of America's Team, the Dallas Cowboys...

I'm not adressing all Cowboy fans (darn it, I hate to admit this, but there's a few of you who I'm actually learning from). I'm addressing those of you who make accusations about my team/fans without applying any football related saavy toward your responses ...

Prognosticators ...those of you who (also known as ...HOMERS ...and they are on all message Boards) prognosticate; foreknowers or foretellers of a future course or event present signs! That's how I'm reading your posts.

That said, I know that many of you believe in TO and his capabilities to obtain touchdowns. But regardless of your insecurities, Eagle Fans are not afraid of TO! Not now, ...it ain't gonna happen. TO could end up being the number one receiver in the NFL in 2006, but it will not mean a thing if he's not stepping across the goal line -- and the Eagles and probably the other three NFC-E teams will be waiting to close that door shut.

Actually, we're more afraid of Glenn and the Cowboy Tight-Ends than we are of TO. We'll limit TO ...it's the other receivers that we feel will benefit from a TO that will spread open the field or create run situations.

So stop the hocus-pocus bullocks and how badly we tremble at the sound of TO. It ain't so!

If your offensive line is so awesome, you will not have to worry about sacks from our DL. The key to beating TO and dallas this year is putting the qb on his back most of the day and stifiling the running game.

This advice is no Sooth-saying ...Eagles defense will be there -- you'd better stop Us or else. And that's the same advice I'll give to the rest of the NFCE.

this is what cracks me up about eagles fans. (generally speaking, here) when you had T.O., it was "he's amazing, he can't be stopped." now that he's a cowboy, suddenly the view is, "he ain't all that."

either you were lying to yourselves before (14 td's in 14 games....sounds pretty good to me) OR you are lying to yourselves now.

i think we all know the answer.

if you think T.O. is afraid of an aging dawkins, or a young secondary that was repeatedly burned by several teams last year....you are truly wearing rose tinted glasses, my friend.

Sounds like a child saying he's not afraid of the boogeyman, but when the closet door pops open, he will jump out of his skin.

If I may quote you ...either you were lying to yourselves before OR you are lying to yourselves now. I don't want to know the answer.

I think TO is no more afraid of Dawkins than he was of Roy Williams ...before the horsecollar of course.

....you are truly wearing rose tinted glasses, my friend.

Green! Those are green-tinted glasses, my opponent friend.

Huh!? Dude ...I'm not trying to hear anything about your "boogeyman" coming ...out of the closet!

Yeah, ignore everything that reality tells you. Keep the "blind faith" alive that your team won't once again win 0 games in the division.

Ignore the fact that after a 6-10 season, the Eagles are the least improved team in the division.

Hang your hopes on your big free agent signing - a defensive end who had 3 sacks before being benched!

That said, I know that many of you believe in TO and his capabilities to obtain touchdowns. But regardless of your insecurities, Eagle Fans are not afraid of TO! Not now, ...it ain't gonna happen.

Eagles fans are petrified of TO. They know first-hand what he can do. Your team got skunked by the cowboys without him. With him makes them that much more dangerous. Can't wait to see Lito "Toast" Sheppard lined up opposite Owens this year!

So when you say it, it's fact, but anybody else is just prognosticating?

Please....

Your counting on a 3 sack guy and an unproven rookie to get it done?

Yeah, good luck with that.

And good luck with your sorry receiving crew too!

Get used to the view from the NFC East basement.....

well, were we wrong?

i don't think anyone is in denial about who T.O. is and what he is capable of off the field. i think most cowboy fans think we will get one good, trouble-free year out of him at best. anything more would be a bonus.

that said...the one wild card that gives SOME cowboys fans hope for a peaceful T.O. tenure is bill parcells. like T.O., tuna has a track record, too. something's gotta give....we shall see.

but T.O.'s on-field talent and work ethic has never been in question, and to say otherwise just b/c you don't have him anymore and he's now on your biggest rival just doesn't make sense.

 

[Phoenix-Talon]

well, were we wrong?

I think so, becoz (SIC) he's gotten his way and probably the Cowboys have rewarded TO for his actions ...all is forgiven and nothing is unforgiveable -- oh he'll be unhappy again ...and if so, he;s uncontrollable.

just doesn't make sense

This is what doesn't make sense phillycowBoyslover ...

Quote from another Cowboys Fan ...Eagles fans are petrified of TO. They know first-hand what he can do. Your team got skunked by the cowboys without him. With him makes them that much more dangerous. Can't wait to see Lito "Toast" Sheppard lined up opposite Owens this year!


I'd like to dialogue with you further, but these other flames are taking their troll.

 

[theebs]

You know I have all the respect in the world for mcnabb. I think he is a top 3 player in the league. You will be a good team because of mcnabb. Too bad the city of philly chose owens over mcnabb last year.

Having said all that, last year in the first meeting your defense that you are touting so much had ZERO sacks against our statue, as you eagles fans insist on calling him. In the second meeting your defense had 1 sack courtesy of trent cole working on torrin tucker. Tucker is now a buck.

For a little comparison, mcnabb was sacked 4 times in Dallas and zero in philly. So maybe you should back off a little on your threats. Also for all your talking about our line and our quarterback, bledsoe outplayed mcnabb in both games and we won both games.

So this year with adams back and hopefully a better conditioned and healthy petitti, throw in owens, a healthy crayton hopefully and fassano and maybe you had better slow down a bit.

I believe the eagles will be good and their defense will be much better, which isnt saying much but until the eagles prove they can score points consistently without owens you should slow down a bit. The eagles had 6 easy games on the schedule in the east for about 4 years, minus the one year the giants were very good in 02. So not having owens and having to play better teams throughout the division should slow you down from being the bully that eagles fans were able to be in 03 and 04.

Again though, I believe mcnabb is a top 3 player in the league and you will be a good team because of it, but he has to prove this team can score points without owens. One of the reasons the eagles defense was so good in 04 was because every team who played them had to throw the ball and try and keep up with the offense, that is not the case this year. Teams like washington and dallas and probably ny this season can man up on the outside with your wideouts and leave the extra safety to blitz or play the run. That wasnt the case when owens was there.


Also be advised I hate owens and I hate that he is here. I wish his sorry azz was still in philly, it was great slaughtering a team with him on it.

answer the question. did anything we criticized about T.O. prove to be wrong?

the answer is no, and 6-10 and a disaster of a year proves it.


now, answer me one more. what in T.O.'s history should leave cowboys fans to believe that he won't be a top reciever in 2006? forget down the road....in 2006.

as for the quote you listed...i tend to agree with that guy. the birds secondary was swiss cheese last year. and that is being kind. wait till you line it up with T.O., Glenn, Witten, Fasano....if that ISN'T giving Jim Johnson nightmares already, as a birds fan, I would wonder.....why not?

 

[Phoenix-Talon]

Also be advised I hate owens and I hate that he is here. I wish his sorry azz was still in philly, it was great slaughtering a team with him on it.

Hope we can share your sentiment.

The answer to that is not as important as the finding out why you didn't believe what you saying -- now you have him and all that he is ...or is not!

 

[Stash]

Sorry if the truth hurts Eagles fan. But you should be less upset with me pointing it out and more upset with an organization that's more worried about making a buck than winning a championship.

I'm confident that my "prognostications" will prove to be more accurate than the blind faith coming from the Eagles' faithful.

It's time to start questioning whether your ownership and coaching staff is doing everything they can do field a winning team.

 

[SA_Gunslinger]

The answer to that is not as important as the finding out why you didn't believe what you saying -- now you have him and all that he is ...or is not!

the answer IS important, b/c it pretty much shoots down your rebuttle to my original point, which is... that it is silly for eagles fans to flip-flop on how they percieve T.O.'s on-field ability b/c they are only kiddng themselves.

 

[Phoenix-Talon]

the answer IS important...

Reading and comprehension is important also! Because if you read and comprehended my reponse, you would have Noticed that I stated "not as important"...does not denote "is not important!"

Let's close this out ...I'm wearing you down and it's making me tired! See you in another argument real soon!

 

[Stash]

I guess ignorance really is bliss...........

There's no comment necessary ...I percieve (SIC)

 

[p1_]

How about the incredible hypocrits 99% of Cowboys fans look like right now?

Please elaborate. We didn't refuse to pay a star and give a huge contract to a guy who choked in the Super Bowl. But Im listening.

 

[MONT17]

People say TO destroyed teams in Frisco and Philly... I can buy the Philly part but what did he do in Frisco? Frisco went down the tubes because of management/owner/Marriochi (sp) TO just didnt bother to save it and only made a big stink about being traded to Bmore!!! Yeah TO had his blowups with Asst. coaches got pissed for being disciplined for the "STAR" but he didnt destroy the team single handedly!!!


As for Philly u can blame TO all u want but the real issue is "Pay for Play"!!! when it came down to it TO "played" for his "pay" like most Igg players (who the Iggs low ball)... McD did not! the Iggs hard stance on "pay" divided the locker room more than anything, TO was just a by product, who wouldnt take the company line like other Igg players!


If McD would have earned his "Pay" that Super Bowl he would have had therespect of the entire team on his side including TO... McD choked and TO almost won that game by himself, I would have asked for more money too... so I can get some new shoes after McD threw up Chunky on my SUPER BOWL MVP ones!


If TO didnt play in that SB the Iggs would have lost by 2 or 3 TDs!!!
