If TO destroyed my team and then acted like a good soldier with his next team in my division, I would be obsessed too. Time to go to therapy PT. Knowone would blame you.

I like how they're all "Should the Cowboys be worried about this:" type threads.

I think it's the Eagles who should be worried!

Worried that their best player just signed with their most-hated rival

Worried they now have nothing at receiver

Worried about their QB's fragile psyche healing as well as his body

Worried that they're the least improved team in the division

Worried about rebounding from a 6-10 season

Worried that Owens and the Cowboys will win the championship that their team never could

It's the Eagles who have plenty to be worried about, not the Cowboys

:trophy:

This trend in Eagles fans is not exclusive to PT.

They're all obsessed. And they attempt to hide it with lame catch phrases like "He's yours now", and "We hope for the best for you, it's not our problem anymore" and the like.

If you want an interesting read, here's a little doozy. Link

The first is an Eagles fan. spizzunk=me. Feelings summed up in post 30...

And it really isn't necessary for Eagles fans to keep saying "We hope for the best in Dallas, BUT..."

Let's be honest - none of you hope for the best. You hope for the worst. (a) It's Dallas. (b) It's TO, who Eagles fans have to hate, unless they blame their own FO, both are at fault to extents. If Eagles fans did hope for the best, they wouldn't continue coming up with scenarios where TO loses his mind, i.e. BUT.....or, once this happens.... LOL. I know I didn't "hope for the best" when TO went to Philly. I nearly crapped my pants when he caught that TD strike in the preseason against Baltimore.

If you really do hope for the best - more power to you. At the end of the day, no matter how much we like each other, we're still fans, and we hate division rivals, and hope for the worst, most of the time. I'm rambling, but I can't see the need for all the "Oh, we really hope for the best, but IMO, sooner or later, someone's going to fart in the locker room near TO, and all hell is going to break loose." If you hope for the best, or hope it works out, is it really necessary to come up with these doomsday scenarios?

Fans of our top rival, the Commanders, are the same way. I remember a Skins fan on a BBS back in 1994 "worried" that the loss of John Geseke would cripple the Dallas offensive line.

To me, that's the battle. Not how he'll react to attention, but how he'll react to the attention swaying toward Owens.

ThAt's an inTeresting perspective ...thanks Dale. BTW, that's "Phoenix" ... P h o e n i x with a "P." :)

Get over it...TO is coming to Philly to kick your arse this year in a Cowboys Uniform. Deal with it.

Well gollly gee whiz ...I would have Never guessed that TO was capable of beating the Philadelphia eagles single-handedly. Never thought he had those intentions ...You sure put me straight!:rolleyes:

Here's some of the cast that will be focused on Bledsoe while TO is busy kicking butt ...

You know, you are absolutely right.

Between Kearse's 7.5 sacks last year, and Howards 3.5....

We are in quite some trouble. And when you factor in a rookie DT, and a DT that got you 3.5 sacks last year (Patterson), we are just screwed.

Dunno how I missed all of this...

I guess the question is, can you spell exploitation?
Yeah, after all Bill never had to deal with media hype in his two go rounds in NY.

Bill was much youNger then and more tolerab;e.


BTW ...look up the grammatical symbol "(SIC)." Then get back to me.

So let me get this straight.

If someone agrees with you, they "have a mind of their own" and "think outside of the box?"

You are getting quite laughable lately.

If it looks like a duck, and quacks like a duck ...

As the Cowboys HC, I'm certain that you guys know Bill Parcells far better than I do. However, I respect Bill Parcells as a future HOF coach. That's why I believe that Bill Parcells is not comfortable (to say the Least) with all of the individual attention ...I Mean, can you spell EXPLOIT-A-TO-N (SIC)?

In past years, Bill Parcells has displayed utter sarcasm, use of strong language, and total frustration resulting in walking out on media questions ...and I say Bill was right most of the times. That said, I've drawn the impression that Bill doesn't relish in too much media coverage about the team; especially if it presents a distraction for the team.

I just wonder how Bill feels about TOs decision to have a "book signing" just prior to training camp opening. I mean you can tell me that it's alrigght because the operant word is "berfore" training camp ...not duriNg. But is that being fair to Bill Parcells. Shouldn't that energy be focused on having a great training camp ...a team effort. We've seen it before, TO Is after one thing ...the benefit of self. A poster on another thread had some real nice pictures of TO ...nothing relevant to the Cowboys.

One more note before I'm thrashed ...I haven't read the good book of TO, but does anyone know whether he thanks the Cowboys, or gives credit to Dallas in any way for believing in him. I have to take my hat off to the Cowboys owner for taking such a huge chance ...but do you really think TO truly appreciates that chance ...and are these series of book signings timely
events?

Just curious to find out how you feel about all this attention ...shouldn't this time be used to establish team ...chemistry?

so what do you think about Jason Witten cooking at Bennihanas (sp).... do you think his timing is bad too? Or are you just obsessed with what TO does?:cool:

This is exactly what I think when I see the "Philadelphia Sack Exchange" pictured!

These guys had like 14.5 sacks all last year!

We're supposed to be afraid of that?

Please.

Ware had 8 as a rookie.

Ellis had 8 too.

That's 16 from just two players.

Let Mcnabb be afraid of getting knocked on his fat can again!

:lmao:

Duck isn't the word I'd use to describe you lately.

Your trolling is getting more pathetic lately. Its much more obvious. I suggest getting back to your roots...

In all honesty, I do think their pass rush will be improved next year.

However, one pathetic attempt at trolling deserves another, so hence my response with the stats. If he wants to play this little game, I have the time.

I'm just glad to see the true colors coming out.

The charade was going on far too long.

Yeah, their pass rush will be improved.

From pathetic to merely mediocre.

Like I said, let them be afraid!

Don't know and don't care what Parcells thinks about what Owens is doing. It is all part of everything that goes with bringing Owens and his Circus to town. Parcells should know (as we all should) what Owens is all about and should have known at the time of the signing. He had the option to nix the signing and didn't. If Bill can't stand the heat he should have stayed out of the kitchen.

As for what Owens thinks about Dallas; once again I don't know and I don't care. He can think whatever he likes as long as he performs on the field and doesn't disrupt the rest of the team. I know that may be a lot to hope for.

Me too. Admittedly, I was fooled early on in believing he was actually here for reasonable discussion. But, I was new to the board, he had a couple of thousand posts...so I just assumed it to be true.

However, he has unraveled himself lately.

Only a matter of time before this thing blows up and we are forced to deal with it, IMO. The team is playing for time here, IMO. There betting that the production helps us win a championship before the mushroom cloud shows up to change the landscape, or at least, that's my opinion. I do find it mildly interesting that many of the Philly fans start these what if type threads but on the other hand, it's not like there entirly wrong either. We did it to them when they signed TO and we were right. They are now doing it to us and we will see how long it takes.

JMO of course.

Our OL is improved from 2005 too.

If you say so! I'm never dispute what you guys say about your Own team ...I only question what you say about my team.

I do happen to know (from being Here at the Zone), that the Dallas Cowboys lost Allen and another key player On the OL. My only question with that is ...have they been replaced with players that are just as good or better?
