I'm rooting for the Eagles as always, but if we back into the playoffs all it does is line Lurie's pockets for the one game played, and screw a higher draft pick. The higher we pick the less chance Reid has of farging it up.

This team is not winning the Superbowl and would be very lucky to go one win deep in the playoffs if they even make it there.

Am I only one who thinks "nothing radical will be done to shake up this team" even if they lose all their remaining games? Might as well win them.

I'm officially offering a $$ bounty on Andy Reid's femoral artery.

Andy's kids will do anything for some pills. Pay them a visit and make your offer.

Looks like the 2 flex games on the 2008 schedule will be Atlanta at home and Chicago on the road

Well, well, well. What ugly truths have we learned this season?

1.) Reid places no premium on talent over "system".

2.) Yet for a team that relies on "system", it remains unfathomably inept on gameday.

3.) Reids love of the "big play" has pathological qualities.

4.) McNabb is no longer the QB he once was, if he ever was, and regardless, if #'s one through three remain, he certainly is no longer a QB who can be successful on this team.

5.) Reids son has an amazingly versatile rectum.

So they'll face McNabb either way. Because sadly he'll be playing in one of those cities next year.

JackStraw couldn't be more wrong. McNabb is still a premier QB.

Donovan looked good in two series and wretched in all the rest.  Not surprisingly his "weapons" mirrored his play.

PhillyPhreak54

Wretched because of his WRs, Head Coach and OC not doing their jobs. He had time to throw but no one to throw to. The story of his career sans 2004.

JackStraw

How many poor passes did we see today? How many high, hard to catch with zero RAC opportunity? How many held-the-ball-too-long plays ending in scrambles he once eluded but now only looks lumbering and uncertain?

I'm sorry, but this is all I've seen this year from him. Is he the main problem? Likely not, but his present diminished skills coupled with his historic lack of accuracy and touch render him wrong for this current version of the Eagles.

Sure, odds are they'll be even worse at QB once he is gone as this is how things go around here for years on end - periods of "close" punctuated by long stretches of mediocre-to-bad - but just because the alternative is worse doesn't prove the present is best.

Randall was perhaps as flawed yet him remaining would have made no difference as the slide into the mid-90's went unabated propelled by zesty management.

He was dumber than shtein to not throw the ball away twice; he does that alot and always has.

However, his receivers gave him nothing today. Nothing at all.

He'll go, and he'll have anoher great 5 years after he leaves here. And we'll be stuck with slop. Again. Just like before he came here.

I'm not disagreeing with you on that point.  But McNabb has played much better with less in the past.  He's not the quarterback he was in 2000-2003 because a lot of his physical abilities have eroded.  There's simply no disputing that.

We need to see what Kolb can do before the season is out.
