What T.O. is not the whole team?!  Holy poo, who would have known.  The Eagles got to the NFC championship three years and a row and suddenly T.O. was the whole team when he went down.

I know, just trying pointing out to all the haters, Eagles won without T.O.

Ah it just ****ed me off when people, especially the media were suddenly calling T.O. the entire team. Its like what the hell, how many winning seasons did the Eagles have without him and now suddenly they were making it out like he was the Jamal Lewis of the Eagles accounting for 75% of the offense. The funny thing is the Eagles got over the NFC championship game hump without him, which is why he was brought over here to do in the first place. If anything it was having Westbrook actually healthy and playing the post season that pushed the Eagles in the Super Bowl.

question. answer honestly...

do you think they would be here if they did not have TO during the season? sure they got over the hump *without* him, but what he has brought to the team has shown thru the entire season. he caught what... 14 of dMC's 15 tds or something crazy like that.

just cuz he didnt play the playoffs, he basically got them here. his spark... whatever you want to call it, has given them the advantage they needed to be sucessful during the entire year... not just the NFC title game.

i do think that having him on the sidelines instead of in the booth helped them beat atlanta. he was there... he was part of that 12th man that andy reid talked about.

Great points.

I honestly think had TO not played, they still would be here based on the dismal state of the NFC. They beat Minnesota cause Mitchell had a career game. they beat Atlanta due to a good defensive game and weather. It will be interesting in Jacksonville.

Definitely yes. The Eagles had been to the NFC championship three times without him so I do not see why this year would be any different. And as someone mentioned before the NFC was not a very tough conference this year, which made it a little easier. I will admitt, with TO there were more blowouts, but without him games had been closer. I think the biggest reason we are finally over the hump is due to a healthy team, specifically Westbrook. If Westbrook had been injured I think we would have seen a repeat of the last four years. I just think teams take him too lightly and instead focus more on T.O. Sure T.O. has more TDs then Westbrook, but it is Westbrook who marches the team up the field closer to the endzone.

Here is the latest update: Link.

As of Friday, the Philadelphia Eagles plan to have Terrell Owens gradually rejoin team practice Wednesday and to use him as the third receiver in Super Bowl XXXIX on Feb. 6, team sources told ESPN's Sal Paolantonio.

Those plans are contingent on the star receiver not suffering any setbacks in his rehabilitation from leg injuries, as is Owens' vow to ESPN's Michael Irvin on Thursday that he definitely will play when the Eagles take on the New England Patriots.

Things were looking good Friday, when Owens ran and cut on the Eagles' indoor field for the second straight day, according to Paolantonio.

Todd Pinkston and Freddie Mitchell are expected to be Philly's first two options at receiver even if Owens gets the go-ahead to play.

Dr. Mark Myerson said Tuesday that he wouldn't clear the Pro Bowler to play in the Super Bowl. Myerson said he's pleased with Owens' recuperation but maintained that the surgery requires a recovery period of eight to 10 weeks.

The Eagles superstar was told after surgery that he had only an outside chance of returning for the Super Bowl, which was 6? weeks away at the time. Still, he rehabbed vigorously and has steadfastly insisted he's going to play.

At least he has been running and cutting for the past two days, that is a good sign.

    • Mafia: The Old Country expansion Man of Honor announced, brings back Salieri from original

      Most boring game ever. Repetitive, empty, predictable, and full of cliches. Total waste of time and money, IMO.

      Mafia: The Old Country expansion Man of Honor announced, brings back Salieri from original by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe During Summer Game Fest, 2K and Hanger 13 brought out a new Mafia: The Old Country trailer, revealing the game's first expansion. Named Man of Honor, this is slated to add two new chapters to the Enzo storyline that the game follows. There is an iconic character returning to the series with this expansion, with players set to run into Ennio Salieri, the future Don of the Salieri crime family. Fans of the original Mafia, or its Definitive Edition remake, may remember that name as one of the biggest characters in the storyline. This expansion is set prior to his rise to being the kingpin in the City of Lost Heaven. "Set in Sicily during the winter of 1905, Enzo Favara has proven himself a reliable soldier of the Torrisi crime family in the months since his initiation," says the studio about the new chapters. "Now, the Don entrusts him and Cesare with a delicate assignment of assisting Ennio Salieri, a man of honor recently released from prison and intent on reclaiming what is his." Working at Salieri's side, players will be heading into fresh environments as they return to the role of Enzo as a high-ranking soldato. The studio also promises brand-new weapons, fresh vehicles, and charms to collect in this expansion. Moreover, the expansion will add new content to the updated Free Ride mode. Alongside new collectibles and locations, this will add more challenges to beat alongside Salieri, which are described as runs that will "test the skills of even the most elite mafiosi." The Mafia: The Old Country Man of Honor story expansion will release on August 14, 2026, across PC, Xbox Series X|S, and PlayStation 5. It will cost $10 for owners of the base game to jump into.

    • Telltale returns with The Wolf Among Us, re-revealing the sequel and a new remaster

      By LoneWolfSL · Posted

      Telltale returns with The Wolf Among Us, re-revealing the sequel and a new remaster by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe Telltale Games, the studio known for its episodic games from the 2000s, had a surprise appearance at the Summer Game Fest showcase today. The studio has gone through a collapse, an acquisition, and a revival but has largely gone silent in recent years. Today's sudden announcement was for the popular The Wolf Among Us series, with news about the sequel and a remaster dropping. Set after the events of the 2013-released title, the sequel will bring back Biby Wolf for a new adventure in Fabletown. This town of fairy tale characters is becoming unstable, with Snow White not being able to keep order as before. "When a brutal series of crimes threatens to fracture the fragile balance holding Fabletown together, Bigby Wolf, sheriff of Fabletown, finds himself drawn into a dangerous conspiracy that reaches deep into the city’s criminal underworld," says the studio. "As suspicion spreads across the city and powerful forces work against him, Bigby must uncover the truth and decide what kind of sheriff - and what kind of wolf - he is willing to become." At the same time, Telltale also announced The Wolf Among Us Remastered, bringing back the classic with a fresh coat of paint. This will include all five episodes from the original game plus over an hour of extra content that will offer behind-the-scenes videos, cast interviews, image galleries, and deleted scenes. The remaster will also have updated visuals and improved UI elements and accessibility features, alongside upgrades to the animations, audio, and frame rates. Telltale has been working on this project for almost a decade now, but if the new release schedule holds, fans will be able to jump into The Wolf Among Us 2 sometime in 2027. As for The Wolf Among Us Remastered, this is slated to release during this holiday season.
