Mcnabb could of very easily crushed that secondary

he overthrew/misdirected alot of short passs...but he blew 2 wide open passes that should of been easy TD's

and I despise McNabb in the shotgun

1. It was nice to see a coach use his TOs more dumberer than AR, I didn't understand why he took his last TO with that much time left.  It obviously cost them a shot at winning this game.

Smith said he didn't want 31 seconds running off the clock to reach the 2:00 warning and he was going to count on that warning as his only timeout....

Right.....you would think clock management would be the easiest thing that a NFL coach would have to do.

They ran the ball and won the game. When they run, they win. Plain and simple. I thought the D did a great job of containing Mike Turner. Not convinced though they will stick to this thing called running the ball.

my brother texted me during the game "They just pronounced LJ is dead"  i thought it was real for a second.

that was a cheap shot...one of the most obvious i can remember in a longtime. he's lucky to BE alive

....and McNabb was joking with Milloy after the game

Yeah, on the flip side, Killa got hosed on that 15-yarder, as I'm sure was mentioned ad nauseum.

The refs yesterday were really, really bad.  REALLY bad.

....and McNabb was joking with Milloy after the game

After him spraying his passes all over the place yesterday, I'm sick of his shtein.  The laughing at time when he should be solemn/competitive is something that persists no matter what.  On the flip side, he actually ran the ball effectively twice yesterday.  That was nice.

He's still our best option, but he's infuriating.

When your supposed to be a team leader, you don't stand around laughing and joking while one of your starters is laying on the ground with what could have been an even more serious injury than a concussion.

I lost a lot of respect for McNabb seeing him act that way. I don't care if LJ sucks or not. Thats your teammate that just had the livin' crap knocked outta' him by a dirty hit, and you think no more of what had just happended then to stand around laughing it up with the friggen' ref.

Also, with the way Ryan was moving the Falcons offense, hooking up with Roddy White big time, is there anyone who thinks they wouldn't have scored had they gotten the ball back before that bad call? Nothing is for shore, but it wasn't looking good.

Atlanta is shaping up to be a good team, and by the time the playoffs get here they will be a better team. A game like this, to lose the way they did, it just makes them more dangerous, imo.

[PoopyfaceMcGee]

So?  They'll be someone else's problem if they make the playoffs.

[shorebird]

My point is that it's a team on the rise and one to watch. Being a fan, I like that kind of thing.

[shorebird]

It's kinda' ironic also that they now have a real qb and are a much better team than the former Mike Vick Falcons, what with all the hype that surrounded Vick.

hmmm mcnabb, westbrook and djack were the only eagles players around lj when he was on the ground. but the camera showed mcnabb laughing with a ref. and this means he doesn't care? wow, just wow. the hatred for mcnabb is never ending

[reese125]

kind of like your never ending love for Reid

mussa, I think that by and large I've been one of McNabb's bigger supporters on this board.  It could just be the way it came out looking on the TV, but that really did bother me.  Just looked somewhat heartless.
