TO out for next 2 games?

[shorebird]

Well, going by your thinking, he's setting himself up for more instant gratification of his ego by saying he's hurt and going out and playing. Man, what a fat extension he'll get.

[Wingspan]

someone correct me if i am wrong. but there have been:

101 world series titles won
111 stanley cup champions
57 nba title won
39 superbowls won
84 total nfl championships won
9 AFL championships

...and TO has not been on a single one of those teams.

amazing.

Wrong. By my logic he thinks he is instantly gratifying his ego by 'sticking it to' the team that has so grievously disrespected him. That'll show'em! Why play with a booboo when they won't even renegotiate his contract after one year.

[Zanshin]

Man, I love it when times get tough for the Birds.  Brings out the rational, steady best in everyone.  It's nice.

[shorebird]

So he's gonna' be glad he's gotten' hurt, and can sit out to burn his team? That will really make other teams knock down doors to sign him.

I'm sorry, I'm to ignorant to see it.

I'm not saying any of that. All I'm saying is T.O. is a complete farging idiot. Surely, you can see that.

Yeah, I can see that. I can also see he's a self absorbed icehole, a big mouth jerkoff, and the biggest nut case this team has had since Romo. The before mentioned quote was referring to others.

He's also the best receiver this team has had since Mike Quick.

It's not tough times that make me nuts, it's the rational, steady best of everyone that makes me act the ass.

It just gets worse and worse.

This team is falling apart.

Even with TO out, Reid will still call a bunch of pass plays.

Washington has a pathetic pass rush and a rookie corner.  I'd guess he'll try to exploit that by shifting Westbrook and Lewis around and featuring LJ heavily.  That last aspect might actually prove to be a boon in the long run.

That explains why they have the best pass defense in the nfl.

[WEST is GOD]

Oof. I guess my theory will be tested sooner rather than later. I won't lie, if we beat the taterskins without TO this weekend I'll gloat. A lot.

What if we win, but due to defense and a run game?

Playing against 2 rookie QBs will do that to your stats.  The Skins pass defense is not that good because of their terrible pass rush.

That would prove my point exactly. No TO on this team = more run game from AR = more wins for the Eagles.

Try to keep up.

I thought you said TO was hurting this team because he just brings a bad aura in the locker room and on the field with him.

That is part of it, but that is all subjective. His negative impact on the game planning and play calling is much more tangible.

[WEST is GOD]

Do you think it's just because of TO, or that he is a #1 receiver in general that Andy gameplans too much around him?

I don't have the slightest idea. But I do know that AR was never this pass-wacky for this kind of extended period of time before TO got here.
