Donovan McNabb

[Feva]

...straight into a brick wall.

[Magical_Retard]

espn is reporting that andy had private talks with the other coaches and banner/lurie earlier in the week about benching mcnabb

based on the bengals performance?

cause against the giants, despite the slow start, mcnabb played decent and again with no running game.

i think reid and company privately realized they are not a good team and that at this point of the season they need to see what kolb can do so they said if we are down at half lets put him in.

with 2 first round picks i really do not want reid in charge.

This means less than nothing, of course, but Spadaro keeps running the "coaches don't trust the o-line to run the ball" line on the EMB.  I find that completely unbelievable but just for the sake of argument, let's say it's true.  The offensive coaches actually think so little of the line that the only way they think they can win is to throw it 80% of the time?

What the hell?

If that isn't reason enough to fire the people in charge of selecting talent for this team, then I don't know what is.

Heckert needs to go, Reid needs to go and that's the end of the story.

You'd have to think... in the event that Reid is fired, Philly would be somewhat of an enticing option, being that they'll get 2 1st rounders off the bat... and possibly a quality QB and RB to start off with for at least a year or two... among other things.

There are some quality pieces at this point scattered about on the team for a new coach to have some success with.  Of course, I'm just dreaming as those players will just have to spend at least another year or two of their careers lost under Andy's gut.

This offensive line is 100% Andy Reid's. If he truly doens't 'trust' them to run the ball then he has no one to blame but himself and needs to die.

[reese125]

I want to personally thank Andy Reid for making me so angry every farging Monday that I waste a full sales day on CF

thanks buddy

[DH]

Heckert needs to go, Reid needs to go and that's the end of the story. 

Amen. Amen. Amen.

There is no logic in this move at all. Hmmm stick with proven QB who is struggling or throw in Kolb who hasn;'t proven he even deserves to be in the league and call the SAME PLAYS. Are you kidding me? Was Lurie and the other coaches not scratching their heads? Is Reid that desperate to make such a move so it doesn't cost him HIS JOB? Is the FO that stupid?! This is going to be a example on where our owners values are in the team. I can't see them doing anything until the season ends, but McNabb is as good as done IMO. I do not agree with this at all...the easiest thing to do is change some play calling and see how the offense responds like what a normal team does. Or actually study the team you play and have a strategy in the play calling. I can't see how Reid is not the obvious problem to everyone. It's killing me

thats my optimistic point of view as well. but we all know mcnabb is gone. westbrook should demand a trade at this point.

i would love to see a proven head coach comes in here. someone who believes in both stopping the run and running the ball. and somoene who uses those 2 first round draft picks to pick talent, not projects or to trade further down.

and someone who does not value having 15million+ in cap space every offseason as some sort of achievement.

Jesus farg I hate Reid

[Magical_Retard]

so not only is he ruining mcnabb at this point but he wants to make sure kolb never gets off on the right foot?

he puts him in against the ravens D to try to come from behind but will not put him against the cardinals D?

wtf is wrong with this man.

if i am mcnabb i make sure during pregame warm ups i throw to boldin and fitz.

[Diomedes]

if i am mcnabb i make sure during pregame warm ups i throw to boldin and fitz.

yeah, and then during the game I make sure I throw to Rod Hood and Matt Ware

[Phanatic]

If the Eagles lose out the season does Reid get fired? I might be rooting against the team from here on out because this nonsensicle drama doesn't occur around a healthy well coached football team.

Cower for coach!!

McNabb could throw to Ware all day and it wouldn't matter. That dumbass would have probably committed a penalty to negate the interception, if he even caught it
