Resistance is Futile

Pissed Off · September 17, 2006, 09:02:22 PM

Once again this game shows us that McNabb is not a big game QB and Andy Reid is useless when it comes to thinking on the fly. Yes, we all know McNabb can be great, but he's lost us big games in just about every way conceivable. He's lost it being tired, confused, and now being cocky. Taunting the Giant's defensive line and then getting a false start penalty was a fantastic idea with only having a 10 point cushion. Side note...Or Defensive backs are toooooo small and way overated. If we didn't get the pressure we did today and if eli was more accurate they would've gotten burned a lot more even if Shepard was in there.

I realize that over the years we have won more than many franchises such as the Cardinals, Browns, Bengals, etc., but the plain and simple fact is that this city is more cursed than boston and chicago combined. We have good sports teams with great fans, but every damn year our teams find a way to let us down. Especially this Eagles team. They're good enough to break our hearts every year since there has been an NFL. I'd almost rather have a team like the lions or cardinals who you know will suck instead of a team that has the ability to win it all, but never does or will.

Losses like this are a tough reality check that this team is not nearly as good as our 2004 ALMOST superbowl winning team! We'll probably beat the weak teams and squeak out one or two wins against quality opponents which will lead to perhaps an 8-8 year.

McNabb played a pretty good game today, dippy.

Even after his false start, it was far from the drive killer. That would have been the Westbrook fumble.

McNabb almost always has "pretty good games" pretty good games don't cut it anymore

What the hell did the offense do in OT dippy?

I thought a lot about this tonight.

I realized today that SHEli has been is this league for two freakin years, and Donovan has been in the league 7 years. SHEli, despite having no protection for 3 quarters and an awful game for 3 quarters rallied his team to a win today. So I asked myself, if Donovan had been put in the same situation...at his own 20, with no timeouts and less than a minute left...could he have marched the Eagles down the field to get into field goal range??

I thought of every conceiveable possibility, but the answer was always the same...no he couldn't. Maybe its just the way today ended, but sometime, doesn't McNabb have to show he can win in the final minutes of a critical game??

you're overreacting a bit. there have been quite a few times he's led them down the field to win a game. today's loss is mostly on Reid, not McNabb

McNabb can only run what is called for him. Andy got conservative when he should've been aggressive and aggressive when he should've been conservative. He pretty much did everything wrong in the second half.

Ok...Outside of the 04 NFC Championship game name me 5 major comeback wins for McNabbs? McNabb is no Tom Brady. He has legs of jello in the big time situations.

Reid did call a horrible second half...I knew when he stopped being aggressive things could get ugle real quick.

WHAT the hell happened to our pathetic offense in OT?

Stallworth and LJ dropped perfect passes from their QB.

so we lose and ppl question mcnabb who out of all the players today prolly had the least to do with the loss. he didnt fumble the ball, miss the FG, or not recover the fumble, or not get the 1 yd on 4rth down, or drop 2 critical passes in OT.

but then again with this team everything is his fault automatically.
