If anyone cares:

QuoteThe Eagles won't win the Super Bowl this year, but they can take solace in the fact that they are the television ratings champions.

According to the Eagles' public relations department, during the regular season, an average of 892,000 households watched the weekly Eagles games — twice the NFL average of 446,000 households. The highest-rated, regular-season games were Week 5 vs. Dallas (1.168 million) and Week 17 vs. Atlanta (1.058 million).

The Eagles' average rating of 30.4 is 19 percent above the NFL average among all markets. Chicago is the other market with comparable ratings. Chicago averaged a 55 share, and the Eagles averaged a 54 share.

More than one million households in the Philadelphia TV market watched the Eagles' playoff games against the Giants and Saints. The Saints game earned a 42.0 rating/63 share, and the Giants game earned a 44.2 rating/63 share.
Zero hour, Michael. It's the end of the line. I'm the firstborn. I'm sick of playing second fiddle. I'm always third in line for everything. I'm tired of finishing fourth. Being the fifth wheel. There are six things I'm mad about, and I'm taking over.

Kiwanuka lived downstairs from me last year.  I think that gives me as much NFL insight as PFT.

Like I said, just playing a bit of Devil's advocate.  I want him resigned as badly as everyone else on here.

I would like to see him used a bit more next year, though - 38 catches in 12 games is insufficient for someone of his speed and talent.

Give me 12 games of Donte Stallworth (if he misses any) over 16 games of Drew Bennett or some other FA scrub anyday.

I don't think McNabb's missed a game because of a sore hamstring.

The man. The myth. The legend.

Eaglez

No, but he has missed substantial portions of a season for running to the sidelines untouched and blowing out his knee.

ice grillin you

no he gets holes in his stomach with intestines coming out...blown knees and broken legs

ill take a sore hammy that causes a player to miss four games in three years over that

Buck does that every other year, and he managed to survive this season somehow.

Re-read my post again.

The point wasn't the 12 games.  The point was 38 total catches in those 12 games.

Note that I said I would like to see him used a bit more.  More as a receiver and less as that "decoy" people keep talking about.

Eckel was on WIP trying to rile people up again, saying McNabb is pissed because he wanted to travel to New Orleans and the Eagles wouldn't let him, and out of nowhere he speculates that McNabb doesn't want to be here anymore.   ::)

PhillyPhreak54

I'm shocked that Eckel is saying that. Shocked!

Perhaps he was pissed. Maybe thats why Andy put the kill on the PC rather than what PFT thought. But they take a fat cap hit to trade/cut him. Back to your hole, Eckel.

ice grillin you

if they can get a nice young qb in the draft and garcia back im all for mcnabb leaving...hes run his course here and its about time he goes...he and reid will never ever win a superbowl so whats the point...the problem in getting rid of him is his albatross of a contract
