McNabb can't throw the deep ball?

[Cerevant]

Never mind the opinion that he can't throw the ball deep, the fact that he can't run is the offense's biggest downer this season

good point the impact of this cannot be underestimated...my seats at the linc are third row from the top end zone...and the best thing about them is being able to see the field open up...and in seeing this i noticed numerous times yesterday that the chargers were leaving HUGE running lanes open for mcnabb and dropping their lb's very deep as they had no fear whatsoever of mcnabb running

This is where I think the Eagles have the opportunity to have an innovative running game.  I'm thinking delayed draws, wide pitches or shovel passes could tighten up the defense, slow down the pass rush and get them out of the nickel D.

you didn't have to be sitting in the end zone to see those lanes open up, they were still clear from my sideline view.

They were pretty damn visible on TV, too.

Yeah, nevermind the topic of this thread.  Let's talk about something else.

Exactly. He may as well have the surgery now, get back for the playoffs (if we make it) and stick neckbeard in for now, because with McNabb in this shape, we don't win the Super Bowl.

If Koy or McMahon have to QB this team pack it in, folks. Seriously. We could then start a draft thread and FA lists.

And getting cut is no sure thing. Invasive surgery is not a given. Problems can arise.

And about McNabb running...

I said this to Beermonkey yesterday about him running....I think his mind is telling him he can run and run around and buy time ala Dallas MNF last year but his body isn't responding. The evidence is the stupid decisions not to throw it away about 3 times yesterday. He was trying to run and create stuff but he couldn't do it.

He wants to be a pocket QB? Now's the time to prove it. If you don't have a route...chunk it out of bounds.

[mussa]

yea bad decision making on those sacks.  everyone was screaming, "THROW IT AWAY!!"

superbowl isnt even an issue...the playoffs are a question with mcnabb like this...but at least they can still make it with him...put in either of the back-ups and season over


on a realted note i heard my first "we need a white qb/well never win with a black qb" bomb dropped this year from the guys behind me

I agree this team doesn't have a better chance with a backup, but the situation just sucks.  I can't see this team doing any better than last year's team.  At this point, does it really matter if they make the playoffs or get to the NFC Championship game?  Hell, I think I'd rather miss altogether than come up short of the Lombardi again.

[ice grillin you]

i normally get all belligerant with people who talk that garbage...unless its an old timer then i just call them an ignorant bitter retired kkk member...but these guys said it as they were leaving after the 4th and 1 play...i wasnt about to chase them down the steps

[General_Failure]

Weren't San Diego and KC supposed to be two of the toughest games on the schedule?

[Tomahawk]

Has he ever thrown the ball out of bounds? Obviously he has, but I'm sure he's taken more avoidable sacks by not throwing the ball away. On one of the plays yesterday he did awesome in avoiding the rush and getting to the sideline, but instead of throwing it away he gets sacked. He needs coached up on that.

nope

agreed...i hate waiting until 6 oclock on draft day to see their pick

at kc
at den

Everyone who says we can't make the playoffs without McNabb, well we did with Feeley a few years ago.
