Donovan McNabb

[General_Failure]

Welcome back, 5.

That is why he doesn't need to go anywhere. And anyone who thought he was done....you're an idiot. McNabb has a lot of football left in him.

He wants to stay in Philly.

I caught the post game interview on the NFL Net set (where Deion was telling the people cheering for Mac to shut up, that they were stupid and he hated Philly fans) and he said him and Andy and "other in the organization" will sit down and clear the air and he wants to stay in Philly.

Oh, and to the farging dumbshteins who booed him after his first INC pass....I hope you choke on your turkey.

If I recall, his first incompletion was also the first three and out of the game. One yard pickup, sack, incomplete. The booing was for the return of piss-poor playcalling, not McNabb's incompletion.

Some of you fargers are unbelievable.

[Rome]

You're only saying that because it's true.

You're all a bunch of sour-pusses.  I loved the game, and I'll continue loving it.  Donovan looked great - don't sit around your circle-jerk-of-hate and come up with reasons why this wasn't great to see.

[rjs246]

I already clearly outlined why it wasn't great to see sucka.

Seeing what they were able to do last night pisses me off even more now because (1) I'm sober and (2) because that is exactly what they're capable of if the fat douchebag would simply commit to running the ball more.  They were 50/50 in offensive play-calling and miracle of miracles they put 48 farging points on the board.

Yeah, it was Arizona and whatever but so what?  All the dick has to do is run the ball and that is what happens.

.500 is no way to go thru life

Exactly, after the Bengals and Ravens games, I could give two pinches of owl shtein for how good he did against the Cardinals. It means absolutly nothing. They are still going to lose to the Giants, Cowboys and taterskins.

they were 50/50 only because it was a blowout.  And even with the game well in the bag Reid was calling passes late in the game.  Also, McNabb scrambled 4 times, those were most certainly passes.

this game was a typical Andy Reid win.  Everything went his way from the beginning and for the whole stretch.  He didn't have to change anything at all.  It was to him an affirmation that the system works.  I could practically see the "Mission Accomplished" banner behind him at the presser.

I think they'll win 2 of the next 4 games, against the Browns and probaby the Skins. Finish up the season at 8-7-1, a whole half game better than last season!

First drive plays:

Philadelphia Eagles at 15:00, (1st play from scrimmage 14:56)   ARI   PHI

3rd and 1 at ARZ 37   (11:19) K.Eckel up the middle to ARZ 35 for 2 yards (G.Hayes; D.Rodgers-Cromartie).       
1st and 10 at ARZ 35   (10:37) D.McNabb scrambles right end ran ob at ARZ 33 for 2 yards.       
2nd and 8 at ARZ 33   (10:07) B.Westbrook up the middle to ARZ 24 for 9 yards (A.Wilson).       
1st and 10 at ARZ 24   (9:24) D.McNabb pass short right to K.Curtis to ARZ 11 for 13 yards (A.Rolle).       
1st and 10 at ARZ 11   (8:43) D. Jackson lined up as Quarterback. D.Jackson right guard to ARZ 5 for 6 yards (A.Rolle).

First drive:  6 runs, 5 passes and that doesn't include Donovan's scramble, which, like it or not, counts as a rush.  And If Donovan ran the ball more they'd be even more effective because opposing defenses would be concerned with him taking off like he used to previously.

Dio's assessment was spot on. How can anyone argue with it? Everything went their way from beginning to end. No need for adjustment at all. Stop arguing for no reason when you all know he's right.

[Rome]

The Eagles played great on Thursday.  They ran it well, they passed it well, but there's no reason to celebrate the win.  WE MUST BE MISERABLE ABOUT IT!

Sig heil!

[rjs246]

Name one thing that this win accomplished. One.

worse draft position?
