T.O. suspended by the Eagles, official thead.

[JTrotter Fan]

You are a fraud...i knew it!

But the bottom line is that this team is capable of getting their asses handed to them without TO as well.

And that's the farging scary part about all of this. They just aren't as good as they should be.

And that's part of the reason why I'm fed up with him now.  If he were being a jackass but the Eagles were still winning and playing well then I might have a different attitude about the whole thing.  I might still be able to look the other way when he opens his mouth.  When he showed up last year he brought a new attitude to the offense.  They had a certain swagger about them.  A confident swagger.  And they just don't have it this year.......at all.  And much of that is because of his antics.  So to hell with him.

Of course you can't, but if the Eagles go out and look like the 2003 NFCCG, then what kinda message does that say to the fans? This is either going to go really well or REALLY bad. I mean if our receivers just get pushed around and can't get open all night, it's going to be a flat out disaster.

how about the 2004 NFCCG...also without TO.

TO went too far, Reid set rules for this team, a player breaks them, they pay the consequences. would you like it if one of your co-workers went to the other side of your office and told everyone how great he was at his job, but also how a you are doing a crappy job?

True, but you can also say that the Falcons defense wasn't as good as the Panthers defense. What are our WRs gonna do against physical corners?

Watch while LJ and BW tear up the middle of the field.

In addition to DGunn reporting that a deal is close between Westbrook and the Birds he also reported that....

TO will be filing a grievance with the NFLPA on Monday.

so RJS, what happens if TO is only suspended for the taterskins game and he plays the rest of the year after that?

[WEST is GOD]

I'm not saying it isn't TO's fault. He probably does deserve to get suspended. However, if suspending him makes your team worse, then it isn't worth it. Will it make this team worse? We haven't found that out yet, and we will in about 27 hours. I think the Eagles are going to win the game even without TO, but if they don't then... . I'll just say this town is going to get ugly, considering how important this game is. Andy potentially made a mistake of epic proportions.

I'm at the point where I could care less whether this makes the Eagles a better team or not.  I don't care.  I'm fed up with T.O.  I've been able to look the other way when it comes to his stupid antics this year but I'm sick of it now.  I don't want him back. 

I understood him wanting more money.  I supported him getting more money.  I bit my tongue during the entire offseason.  I defended him about his comments after the Super Bowl.  I said "as long as he shows up on Sunday and performs, I don't care." 

Well now I do care.  He's an icehole and I don't want to see him back on this team.  He's insulted his QB countless times and he's taken shots at the organization.  And while both McNabb and the Eagles have not stooped to his childish level he continued to take shots at them.  He had the entire city in the palm of his hands after the Super Bowl.  He was in a position to have an even bigger year this year than he did last year.  This team was poised to have a bigger year than last and it's because of him that the Eagles are struggling the way they are. 

Yes, there are other issues on the team that need to be addressed as to why the team is underachieving but the bottom line is that TO was the catalyst in all of this.  He's been nothing but a distraction since April.  So to hell with him.  I'm done with TO and hopefully the Eagles are too. 

So basically, you put your own patience over the Eagles success? I know he's annoying, but you can't just put up with it for another few months? I mean let's be honest. If you didn't come on message boards or browse news websites then you wouldn't even have to listen to TO's yap. If you only followed them on sundays, then would it honestly bother you as much? The reason fans like us are tired of it is because we constantly follow and discuss the team. I'm just saying there are ways to avoid being annoyed by his comments, and that is to just block everything out until sunday. Then all you worry about is the stuff on the field.

I don't think there will be. Something tells me his publicist and agent are telling him to shut the farg up.

[Larry]

He'll probably be at the game...sitting next to me.

i guess the point of his grievance is to make it a suspension WITH pay

[JTrotter Fan]

He'll probably be at the game...sitting next to me. 

He'll be at the Falcons game...wherever that may be.
