Raise your hand if you predicted...

1.  Donovan McNabb would suffer a season-ending injury in a lopsided home loss to the Titans.
AND
2.  Jeff Garcia would go 3-0 on the road against the NFC East in weeks 14-16 and take the Eagles into the playoffs.


Holy Lord, I love this farging game.


GO BIRDS!

I didn't think the defense could support going on a run like this like they did in 2002.

Way to turn it around.

Andy Reid = good coach

[Diomedes]

I called it weeks ago.  Look it up.

[Rome]

We were all wrong.  Everyone needs a big steaming cup of shut the farg up including me.  Hell, ESPECIALLY me.

[Eaglez]

I concur with Phreak. Garcia is playing amazingly well, but Reid is calling up some great gameplans and these guys look very prepared.

All the Andy haters have to eat some crow. I know I had my doubts, and Andy has risen to the occasion.

Anyone think Garcia could win comeback player of the year? He would have only played in 7 games by the end of the year but he's been awesome after playing for his previous two "teams."

[Eaglez]

I think Pennington will probably win. He's playing well, the Jets came out of nowhere and control their own destiny. Garcia is a nice story but he's only played in 6 games (started 5) and he's 36 years old. Usually the comeback player of the year goes to someone who plays a whole year like Pennington.

Garcia has definitely been amazing. How about most amazing backup to come in and pick up a team and lead them to the playoffs award? He'd definitely win over Romo.

YEEEEESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS!!!!!!!!


DALLAS SUCKS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Even though he's only played in a handful of games, if it wasn't for LT I can't think of someone more deserving of the MVP award right now.

[Zanshin]

Brees, easily.

[SD_Eagle5]

Brees, easily.

okay maybe...but Brees has cooled off down the stretch

[Zanshin]

Garcia is playing really well, but he hasn't really even had a stretch.

5 games is a stretch

The real offensive MVP which has been solid all year and downright dominate down the stretch is the O-line. Andrews is a monster.

His block on the last drive when Garcia scrambled had everyone in the room making noise, nasty baby.

Garcia has played some quality football, but let's not go overboard.

1) There have been debates all year on this board over the offense and their big strike capability and how it hurts the defense. My main complaint was how they couldn't sustain a long drive (10+plays,70+ yards) all year long. There is no doubt in my mind that Garcia is more suited to the short passing game, in that he throws a more catchable ball, and he doesn't hold the ball in the pocket for 6 seconds.

2) The run defense has been horrible most of the year. This may correlate with the offense being unable to sustain a long drive, losing TOP, small defense, or not. But either way, even though DeAngelo Williams made several plays in the screen game, and Ladell Betts ran all over them, they have played better against the run. Don't ask me to explain why.

3) Andy Reid is not committed to the running game. NBC ran a stat tonight- with head coaches with at least 100 games coached, Andy Reid has the highest pass %(59) in NFL history. The Eagles have run the ball more with Garcia at QB. This is not debatable.
