Ouch!

That collective gasp you heard yesterday was the city of Philly reacting to Terrell Owens having his leg pretzeled. T.O. is to have surgery and looks to be out for the season:

PHILADELPHIA - Eagles star receiver Terrell Owens will miss the rest of the regular season and possibly the playoffs and Super Bowl because of a sprained right ankle, a devastating blow to the best team in the NFC.
Owens will have surgery Wednesday and stands only an outside shot at being able to play in the NFL's championship game on Feb. 6 _ if Philadelphia makes it that far _ head trainer Rick Burkholder said.
"I was looking forward to the playoffs, really trying to get this team to the Super Bowl," Owens said in a conference call. "I think without me, still, they achieve that goal."

T.O. will not return this year. The Eagles still should make it to the Superbowl if they pull it together and rally around Owens. Donovan has to run more as was shown yesterday late in the fourth quarter, Todd Pinkston or another of the receivers has to step up and show why they get paid, and the defense has to play like they did yesterday. The NFC is weak this year with only team that should give the Eagles a game being the Falcons.
