Donovan McNabb

[Tomahawk]

you know, it can be the defense and the quarterback...it's not exclusive.

donovan left points on the board in the 1st half with his awful play and couldn't get it done on the last drive.

the defense played like absolute shtein and choked when they actually had a lead to work with.

Agreed - it was a complete team failure in all three phases of the game. The offense, defense, and special teams all took a huge dump on my bed; no reason to argue which turd had the most corn in it

[Magical_Retard]

I think it's pretty clear that Reid isn't going anywhere anytime soon.

agreed.
and i think the eagles' fo wants to keep 5...but i wouldn't be shocked if he forces a trade.  dood hates philly.

Yeah esp if those rumors and claims by Deion and Dukes are true. Both of them, and I think Screamin A as well, have claimed he wants out and that is what he will discuss with the team Reid, Banner, and Lurie. Would not surprise me.

If that was the scenario somehow I would want a lot in return. 1st round pick is not out of the question.

[reese125]

yep and he'll go right to the taterskins

[pinoyboy2pt0]

so i never watch espn anymore bc i know better.  but i had some time to kill before the game and mistakenly turned that shtein on. 

again they brought up the booing of santa claus and stupid ass shoulder pad shawn booing 5 on draft day along with 4 "dopes!" from WIP.  then tom jackson (if 5 wins a superbowl, it's not enough for these fans, they want more), chris carter (hey!  i got boo'd there as a rookie!), and keyshawn (something like, "eagle fans won't give 5 unconditional love even if he wins a superbowl)

steve young was like, "jiojefhshdfhpdsjf!!  you gotta be crazy.  if he wins a superbowl, he'll be untouchable.  you own that city"  - i agree

i know the media hates philly, especially espn.  we boo santa ~50 years ago, replay it on espn!  8 numbnuts boo mcnabb...replay it on espn!  patriot fans pelt the miami dolphins qb a few years back in the endzone with ICEBALLS but espn shows the fans gently tossing fluffy snow in the air and "they are loving it!!"

but with espn controlling the media and leading the philly hate, everyone follows and i think it's gotten in mcnabb's head.  steve young also said something right, when you're in a  large city and the number 1 sporting team has not won in ages, philly is no different than any other city.  look at boston and the red sox.

and it's farging true.  we love/hate mcnabb.  is any other city really different when it comes to top 5/10 qb play? 

i said one of the fingers to point was at mcnabb.  i almost take that back and it was a little harsh.  he did more to win the game then lose it, but if he played a better game, we probably win.  i hope he stays till he can't move anymore.  but if he really thinks everyone hates him and brings up the rush limbaugh, draft day boo'ing and a few WIP knuckle heads and wants to move bc of that, gimmie a break.  it's not that much different anywhere else.  unless LA gets a team i guess

[PoopyfaceMcGee]

25 points should be enough to win that game.  Period.

[The BIGSTUD]

I don't know the stats, but I'd be willing to bet that the far far majority of teams that let up more than 30 points in a conference title game lose. Probably 8/10 teams.

[rjs246]

How can anyone defend or attack McNabb after yesterday's game? He was responsible for them looking like garbage in the first half and was responsible for them storming back and taking a lead in the second half. In other words, he was exactly what he always is. Good enough to win the game, while still managing to be bad enough to lose.

[Phanatic]

I'd like to see how Donovan plays under a different coach. He might be a totally different player...

[QB Eagles]

Donovan McNabb is a choker who will never win a Super Bowl. Ever, with any team. His only chance is to meet a QB in the Super Bowl who is even more of a choker than he. Since the Eagles cannot play the Cowboys in the Super Bowl, I don't know who that would be.

He is also roughly a billion times better than Kolb will ever be. McNabb is a very good QB. Kolb is garbage.

I believe both of these facts were well-known before this season. Keeping McNabb, you have a potentially good team with playoff potential but no shot at a Super Bowl win. Getting rid of McNabb, the Eagles will be a mediocre-at-best team for about half a decade until they find a legitimate new QB, and there's a good percentage chance that even that QB will not be as good as McNabb. Might not be as big a choker, though.

Ridiculous. You haven't seen nearly enough of Kolb to decide what he will be in the NFL. He looks bad now, but so did Drew Brees in his first couple looks.

McNabb got to a Superbowl and lost by 3 points. Logic tells you if you can get that close you can win it. Oh, and he did that against Tom Brady. Maybe the most clutch QB in NFL history.

[ice grillin you]

Up until the last drive. McNabb played excellent in the 2nd half.

that was the only drive that mattered
mcnabb is a front running bed wetter

then the team is 5-5-1 and has nothing to play for hes great
when the team is down 24-6 and they have nothing to lose hes the best

when the season is on the line he folds like an antique accordian

[General_Failure]

that was the only drive that mattered

McNabb lead what would have been a game-winning drive, had the defense not packed it in.

[MadMarchHare]

A potentially game winning drive that ended in a terrific pass.

EXACTLY.
