Impressed with T.O.'s pregame speech?

[LittleBoyBlue]

At first I was very impressed... but then wondered if he REALLY meant it that much....

 

[Rampage]

nope

 

[Maikeru-sama]

Didnt get to hear it, is there a transcript available?

He was in the middle of the team huddled around him and they showed the last few seconds of it

I don't remember all of it, but I do remember "this isn't about me, this is about US!" and "Together on 3, 1 2 3 TOGETHER" <-- (team in unison)

there was more

 

[Blue&Silver]

No comment.

 

[LittleBoyBlue]

He contradicted himself.

But I'm sure he was misconstrued, and taking out of context.

He is a team player and they lost as a team. He's not pointing fingers

Then

You saw what happened out there. He wasn't pulling the trigger. He did his job.

Basically, throwing another QB under the bus.

~~Cringe~~...

yeah I caught that...he did say "we didnt pull the trigger though" right? LOL

but alot of us feel the same way about Drew... so is his act actually gonna benefit us in that regard?

 

[Bleu Star]

You're all falling into the media trap.... TO is not the bad guy. He has a burning desire to win. Hmm... Let me think back a few years to the time #88 had that same burbning desire on the sidelines and was very animated all the time... Please don't fall into the media trap.

He didn't say anything in hos post game PC to throw Drew under the bus...

Please don't fall into the media trap.

 

[Cochese]

TO made the trip to philly? Couldnt prove it by me.

They ALL have "a burning desire to win". Owens is no different, and no more anxious to win than anyone else. Every single player gets frustrated...but the ones with class keep it to themselves, or express it in helpful ways.

No one is falling into the 'media trap' either. Owens got considerable sympathy here for the nonsense the press spread about him not really having a hammy injury, and then again for the erstwhile "od".

But this is how I feel about him...I am sick and tired of his being the center of attention , even in defeat. It is not all about HIM, and instead of saying that and getting sound bytes from it, he could keep his lips totally buttoned until he actually does something to help this team.

Because thru four games, he's done exactly SQUAT. Just shut up and separate.

At this point, I'd actually prefer to see Crayton start - Owens has been that disappointing. The hand injury is the only thing he gets a pass on, and is the reason I'm not ready to barf at the very sight of him.

I don't want to hear his name again until he starts contributing.

Blinded by your hate for him?... HE WANTS to EARN his money for sure... that can never be questioned.

Thank you!!! Thank you!! He was even on the sidelines getting the "D" pumped up. In the huddle he said "this is not about me, this is about us." The guy just wants to win...who doesn't.

Shoot look at the comments here, just think if we had the media scrutny he deals with.

 

[Doomsday101]

I was impressed by how he conducted himself during the post game press conference. I'm willing to take him at his word instead of trying to play mind reader or read between the lines. He was not there to point fingers and said maybe he needs to work harder as well. I'm not sure if I will ever be a big fan of TO but I was impressed by how he conducted himself despite his frustration at the loss.

Its not like TO has done anything to deserve the scrutiny...oh wait, he has. He thrives on it.

and this is TO's fault. Why don't you put some of this blame on the media. Do you think he begs them to write stories about EVERYTHING he does? I have heard him ask to be left alone. There is no way you can blame him for this

I don't want to hear his name again until he starts contributing.

turn off your radio, TV and computer because unfortunalty he is a top story and the media is drooling trying to make a story.

"we have 64 pictures of him blowing up on the sidelines..." What next???

 

[Tuna Helper]

I could care less about his pregame speech.

He attempted to throw his QB under the bus in the post game commentary by saying "I don't pull the trigger."

I don't like Bledsoe either, but calling him out in the front of the press doesn't help matters.

He needs to simply shut his trap and play.

Yes, blame the big bad media for TO being an attention hound. Good one, haddnt heard that before.

Unfortunately, the team doesn't.

Philly is a tempestuous division rivalry to begin with. And I will buy Tuna's claim today that 'the crowd' is not what our players have to worry about.

But the degree of emotion yesterday did not bode well for our team..and the early mistakes proved it.

My question is are there going to be TWO games each year in which our players, despite their best efforts and that of their coaches, have to be subordinated to a personal vendetta one player brought on himself in another city?
Two games like that each year as long as Owens is here?

Hopefully, yesterday was the first and last of that kind of environment. Philly is tough enough to play at to begin with, without the hype and distractions.

TO is a victim of his own media empire. When asked a question by the media, all he has to say is "No comment."

They will eventually leave him alone.
