kolb will start vs cheifs if mcnabb can't go.  i guess kolb might have sort of kind of played ok enough to earn another start but i'm kind of curious what was the point of bringing garcia in.  i'd rather still have baskett in this case.

The point is that McNabb is hurt and Vick is ineligible. If Kolb got hurt Jackson would have been wildcatting on every down.
Is rjs gonna have to choke a bitch?

I don't think that's actually written anywhere in the rulebook. May be up for a vote though this offseason.

Why is Vick ineligible this week? I thought he was back this week?

Think RJS was screwing around.

5. I think the one thing all you Eagle/Vick followers need to understand about the quarterback situation in Philly is this: Vick was never, ever signed to be the regular quarterback, isn't ready to be the regular quarterback, and wouldn't be prepared to digest an entire gameplan until at least November. I can guarantee you that Andy Reid, if he needs a quarterback to sub for McNabb this week and/or next, is dead-set on Kevin Kolb. As Reid said to me Sunday night: "Kevin Kolb is the least of my worries. He threw for, what, 380 yards?'' Nope; 391.

6. I think the weirdness of the Shawn Andrews situation in Philadelphia is probably ultimately going to lead to him resuming his career elsewhere. After touting him as their right tackle of the future all offseason, the Eagles put Andrews on injured-reserve with a back injury last week, ending his season. There was indignity added to injury -- Reid said Andrews would not rehab his back at the Philadelphia training facility. Clearly there are some in the organization who don't think Andrews is hurt as badly as he says, and removing him from the building removes a distraction from the team.

It's interesting how teams treat injured players. Bill Parcells used to steer injured players away from hanging out with teammates. It was almost like he felt the injury bug was contagious, and he didn't want the healthy players catching anything.

It even got to the point last week that one of Andrews' friends on the team, Brian Westbrook, had to defend him by saying "he wouldn't fake something like this -- but at the same time, as his friend I'm going to support him. It's been kind of tough, because everyone thinks he's faking ...'' Reid always has spoken of Andrews as a player who could be all-pro at tackle and guard. Now it might have be for another coach.

No surprise Andy figures Kolb throwing for 350+ yards = super victory. BWest's comments about Andrews are eye opening to a degree. I knew that fans thought Andrews was bitchmade, but reading Westbrook say that means the locker room feels pretty much the same way. Hoyda. Glad he was asked to go to his shtein elsewhere.

I don't think the "everyone" means teammates, rather the public.

No, as in you think he means the team thinks Andrews is faking?
