consensus building workshop?

OK, in an attempt to help you through your boring day... Why does this myth keep being repeated? I've seen it a thousand times. Yet nobody explains why he went on NFLN with Deion to ***** about the QB and the OC only a couple of days after the biggest win of the season at Washington.

It makes no sense to me. This is one of the many interviews T.O. should have just avoided. But, to answer the question, I think T.O. felt pretty good about his performance and thought he may have earned some credibility to his complaints. What better time to voice his complaints then after a game that he thought made his argument legitimate. And the thing is, I think I agreed with most of what he said (I can't remember all the details), but, again, these types of conversations, should not be available to the media or the public. The other big question is if that had an effect on their play. They won several games in a row thereafter, so despite my opinion, I can't say it had a direct impact on their play. So, I guess the point is, no one really cared that much about the comments until it was perceived that he was the reason the team started losing being the locker room cancer that he is. Had they won every game from then on, that interview would have been forgotten by now.

In other words... It's not true that if we win he won't complain.

And yeah, we went on a two-game win streak after that -- against SF and Seattle, two awful teams.

Then we finished out the year at 1-3 after that.

But, all kidding aside, I think this was different. He wasn't really complaining (despite the contradiction of my previous statements), if I remember correctly; he was sighting the difference, which indicted J.G. poor adaptation to what defenses were doing to take him out of the game. It was a read-between-the-lines attack. He had made that complaint earlier in the year and now had evidence to support it, which he brought to light in this interview.

All credibility lost.

There was nothing good about going to the press to ***** about one's catch count whether you side with his perspective or not. That pretty much started the whole downward press spiral. TO should hold himself to a higher communication standard given all the damage he's inflicted on past teams with the same variety of crap.

Can't spin this one.

Again, I agree that this should have never happened, but to suggest that this is where it started is completely wrong. IMHO, it started with Emmitt Smith saying in the preseason, I believe, that this team had no leadership. Then several people started doubting the Cowboy's and it truly erupted after the 1st loss at Washington.

But this is definitely not where the decline began. I'm taking your credibility down with mine...:tongue:
