Eagles Vs. Bengals Game Thread

I already posted a big version of that.

I'd just like to say that Sal Pal is a farging idiot.

Before the game, Joe Banner was interviewed by CSN and they asked why TO wasn't part of the carnival. Banner said that because when the lists were made of the autograph booths, it was when they didn't know if he was going to hold out or not, so they were cautious and kept him off the list. Had it been done this week, he'd be on it. They didn't want fans to pay for the tickets to get his autograph and then have him hold out and not be there.

So after tonight's game, Sal Pal just "reported" that TO tweaked his groin just a bit in the end of the first half, but that this might be a "reason" for TO not to particpate in the autograph signings at the carnival.

farging idiot. Stop your farging speculation and get some facts for a farging change.

That whole bit was a farging joke. That was the worst TO thing I've seen in a good while. They should be ashamed for that blatant Yellow Journalism. As if it were possible but ESPN just dropped another two notches.

That was the worst TO thing I've seen in a good while.

Consider yourself lucky. The postgame show was terrible. "To and McNabb did not look at each other after the touchdown ..." When has McNabb ever gone and celebrated in the endzone on a long pass?

Mines better because I'm cool and drunk

I know all of the attention is on TO right now, and I'm glad I missed Sal Pal being his usual moronic self, but this defense just keeps getting better y'all.

I honestly do not think it is too far fetched to think that they could exceed that 2000 Baltimore defense.

I know it's early, but they are looking like gold.

A potent ass offense and a devastating defense = In Detroit holding a shiny trophy.

The young receivers give me all kinds of football wood. Even Wilbur. I just wish Lewis didn't look so damned retarded without his helmet on.

So I'm watching the 2am replay and they just started the 2nd half a few minutes ago and they now have the Bengals broadcast team instead of the Eagles.  Anywho this Bengals sideline reporter is talking about a new Bengals t-shirt that says" Do Your Job" and says it's a hot selling item as they've sold about 300 of them.    I laugh but I was actually surprised there are 300 Bengals fans out there.  Either that or Who Dey blew his last paycheck on all of 'em. 

[General_Failure]

They probably required the players to each buy one.

NFL Channel is saying that the TD could "break the ice" between McNabb and Owens.

TO's TD celebration was actually subdued: spike the ball, hand on hips and nodding. McNabb and Owens pointed at each other.

I just watched the TD, had the delay on Tivo, and it's nice to know that they were at least pointing at one another, 'cause all I saw was TO getting congratulated by everyone except McNabb, and McNabb getting congratulated by everyone except TO. Goes to show you that they don't have to have Monday dinner together to be able to produce on the field.

From the post-game report...

Kalu:  "You don't want to say it's 'easy' when you're talking about the other team, but it's nice to have everything clicking out there on D."
Kearse:  "He's (Kalu) probably been our best D-lineman as far as getting pressure.  I think you're going to see a lot of N.D. out there this year making plays."

Team Patterson approves of two starting ends giving each other some love.

Did anyone else see the touchdown from DMac to T.O.?

That was cool.

[Geowhizzer]

  It was funny to see the disparate comments on the 5-81 touchdown celebration.

NFL Channel:  Hopefully this can be a first step to repair the relationship between Owens and McNabb.  It was good to see them acknowledge each other on the play.

ESPN:  TO and McNabb didn't even look at each other after the touchdown.  How can the Eagles survive the fractured relationship between its star QB and star WR?

As far as I am concerned, they can refuse to talk to each other all year if they keep hooking up like that.  If the idiots in "sports journalism" don't talk incessantly about it, it's a non-issue anyway.  ESPN becomes more like "Access Hollywood" every day.

the questions to donovon were absurd during his press conference.

"you are a competitive player, doens't kill you not to be able to celebrate with the player you just made a play with?"

it's getting ridiculous.  they were communicating on the field, TO was communicating with AR, it will all be just fine.

Eagles | Owens Aggravated Groin Injury
Fri, 26 Aug 2005 22:09:17 -0700

Philadelphia Eagles head coach Andy Reid, following the team's preseason game Friday, Aug. 26, said WR Terrell Owens (groin) re-tweaked his groin against the Cincinnati Bengals. Reid said he would have more information on Owens' status Saturday, Aug. 27. "He just kind of reaggravated it a little bit," Reid said.

I wish I could punch the stupid reporters in the face.

Report the news, dickheads. Quit the controversey.

Everyone in the media (and fans, mostly) said if he showed up and STFU then it would be cool. But now they're tired of him not talking to them and giving them great quotes so its time to nitpick.

I'd like to see Donovan ignore the dumbass questions. Just make a funny face or something when asked a retarded question.
