Donovan McNabb

[PoopyfaceMcGee]

Does anyone disagree with any of these statements?

1. McNabb choked on it very hard for most of the Arizona game, but unlike some of his other choke job games, he actually got the team the lead (briefly) and apparently didn't vomit.  Go 5.

2. The defense choked on it also and gave up over 30 points in the NFC Championship game, causing a loss to the farging Arizona Cardinals.

3. An absolute star WR, the type of player that comes around about once a decade, made a massive difference in the game and tore the Eagles to shreds.

4. The Eagles WR's, for their part, seemed to play fairly well and get open for most of the game.

5. The Eagles offense would be better with a WR similar to that mentioned in #3.

Five for five for fast frederick.

I think everyone agrees. Does this mean that we can shut down the internet?

[ice grillin you]

all im asking is why the steeler defense was so good and won the game for them giving up 16 pts in the fourth quarter including a last two minute touchdown...but the eagle defense lost the game for them

mcnabb won sb mvp?

i dont understand your point

Rothelisberger wasn't. Holmes had more to do with that game winning drive than the QB

It takes two to tango?

IGY's point about the Steelers D is totally valid.  They choked on it at the end, and Ben and Santonio bailed them out.

I won't even qualify the headline with a "if true" This will not end well. It never does in this town when the story-line gets to this point. Here's another prediction. McNabb will get his wish - the Eagles will add weapons to the team - and it will be due to him being traded.

Right before free agency is curious timing for this, no? Surely ReidCo is shteinting bricks of rage and McNabb will never be worth more than he is right now. A trade solves the whole issue once and for all. The world will not come to an end - the stands will still be full and the hotdogs will still sell.

And someday soon we'll talk about the McNabb era with wistful recriminations just as we do with Cunningham...

isn't that a fact

[The BIGSTUD]

Doubt McNabb said this, but the funny thing is that every team McNabb would be traded to has inferior weapons than the Eagles.

Vikings?
Bears?
Chiefs?

I'll take the Eagles WRs over either of them. Not to mention Westbrook and a good solid offensive line.

Vikings will have their new starter Sage Rosenfels from the Texans-- probably on Friday according to reports for a 4th rd'er

arizona had 16 pts when it most counted against pittsburgh

i love how the steelers defense was so great that game yet gave up 16 4th quarter pts but the eagles defense lost the game for them


pittsburgh d was no better than the eagles d and basically did the same thing the birds d did..give up huge 4th quarter pts...steelers were actually worse at that

the difference was pittsburgh had a qb that could still win the game when it counted

Listen you can believe what you want but going into the 4rth qrt the Steelers gave up 7 pts, which allowed for the awful Steelers offense to stick around and keep a lead. You do not think the Eagles offense puts up enough pts to win if the defense had held the Cards to 7?

But the Steelers are built for that, esp with Ben at QB. How many times during the season did they keep the game close enough for Ben to do something at the very end? The Steelers D played far superior and even when they fell apart they could afford to knowing Ben would/could pull a trick out of his hat even if the rest of the game he played just OK.

Its the exact opposite for the Eagles. We know McNabb can not do that. So for yes for the type of team the Eagles are, their defense failed much more. 24 pts in one half? Forcing a already inconsistent offense with Westbrook completely not productive to come back down 18?

Even if you claim the Steelers defense failed in the 4rth as badly as the Eagles defense did in the 4rth, they still played a much better overall game and kept the game in range.

And its not even about winning a Championship...its about remaining competitive because this team was a 9-7 team which got into the playoffs by a miracle and was lucky to play the Vikes and the Giants without Burress. So yes whether McNabb deserves it or not...he/the team needs more weapons to remain competitive within the NFC East. For them to have any chance next season they need to be far better offensively. Even Dallas, with all its turmoil and breakdown was right there at the end.

I think I'm not getting into more of this story. I don't think anything of it, just like I don't think anything of the 20 other stories about McNabb over the years. As for lying and all of that, I don't point fingers. I don't know how the story originated and I honestly don't give a rat's ass. I care about free agency and the draft. I see Donovan every day and he is in great spirits. I don't get the sense at all that he wants to leave the Eagles. So that's all I'm going to say.

Bye-bye Donovan.

[Magical_Retard]

I never feel sorry for that bald idiot but you can tell he is stuck not saying anything. He cant admit to the meeting or the reports, and now he cant deny them either.

Apparently he has lunch with McNabb all the time. I believe that as much as I believe the Eagles went after Randy Moss.
