Donovan McNabb

[ice grillin you]

i know what they dont have....a noodle arm

[shorebird]

I agree, even with the loss to the Steelers last week, Flacco still looks like he has "it". Kolb wishes he had half the cannon arm Flacco does.

I know we'll all be rooting for Flacco this week. He's got the ability to burn the Cowboys defense.

Go Go Flacco!!

Wacko for Flacko!

Sobs for Kolb!

Are you all that retarded and buying into this "benching must of really helped Donovan, Reid is a genius idea the national media has created"?

Get a god damn clue and look at the stats. They have run the ball successfully, thats it. They changed their play calling, somewhat(at least in Cardinals and Giants game, got a little pass happy vs Browns). This has taken enormous pressure off of McNabb. It's opened up the pass game. It's thrown a wrench in most teams game plans, cause Reid is the most pass happy coach in NFL history.

The benching didn't prove one damn thing other than Reid took his blind failures of a head coach out on McNabb and then threw an unproven inbred Kolb into the frying pan without changing anything vs the Ravens

It proves Reid is the problem in Philly. It proves Kolb is not even close to being a starter and shouldn't even be mentioned.

Did you just go ahead and assume that the majority of is buying into what the media's shoveling?

Slow your roll, buddy.  Pretty sure most people here still want to see Reid get 86'd.

Yes I am looking at the stats. McNabb has done great since he was benched. And they ran the ball successfully one game, the Giants game, since he was benched. One game.

I'd say 99.9% of people here want Reid gone, me included. Still, it's not like every move he makes is wrong. The Eagles would not be in contention for a playoff spot if that was the case.

[General_Failure]

The Eagles would not be in contention for a playoff spot if more than two teams in the NFC were playing well right now.

[Rome]

I want Reid to get a three year extension like Joe Pa.

WRONG
*edited in the Browns
*Browns - 33 for 136. Buckhalter the top rusher for 58. McNabb 35 attempts. Not as much rushing, but against the Browns not a problem - Win
Arizona - 40 rushing attempts for 188 yards. 22 rushes for 110 and 2 TDs by Westbrook. McNabb attempted 39 passes - WIN
Giants - 42 times for 149...33 attempts by Westbrook for 131 and 1 TD. McNabb attempted 30 passes - WIN

Ravens game - 21 rushes attempted...14 by Westbrook. - LOSS
Bengals - 18 rushes. 14 by westbrook. McNabb 58 passes attempts - LOSS
Giants - 21 attempts for 106 total - LOSS

When they run they always have a chance to win. I don't think beating the Giants was a walk in the park. They are defending champions, distracted or not it was a major win for the Birds and proof that when we run, we win.

The hell are you two arguing about?

McNabb has played very well since getting benched. But running the ball and having a balanced attack helps as well.,

[mussa]

Its why he's doing so well and the team is doing so well. They are controlling the clock, the defense is playing great because they are not on the field all game. It's letting our mediocre receivers get open. It's 100% reason why the team and McNabb is playing better.

[PhillyPhreak54]

Running the ball is not helping him see receivers better or make better throws and decisions with the ball, none of which he was doing prior to getting his ass sat down.

[mussa]

Of course it does, it puts the ball in Westbrooks hands more and absolutly takes pressure off McNabb. He's not a 40 + passing QB...and look at his receivers....would you want him throwing that much with mediocre talent? Is it really that hard to understand? EVERYONE knows the Eagles pass, this is why we've been the team we are since the super bowl. Nothing has changed with McNabb at the helm, nothing, until now. Look at the stats from a few weeks back, when they run the ball 30+ times a game they are what 50-8 since 2000(not exact stats, but you get the point, I hope).

Heh, I'm not arguing about anything. I just said McNabb has played lights out since being benched. The three games prior, New York,  Cinncinnati and Baltimore, he sucked. His completion rate wasn't even over 50%. He had 6 int's in those three games, and thats especially uncharacteristic of him.

Everyone here knows Reid needs to balance the offense for the Eagles to win, but that doesn't change the fact that before being benched McNabb was playing terrible.

playing arizona and cleveland secondaries helped
