There should be a third option on the survey:

Doesn’t matter. Reid’s playcalling will doom whoever sets up under center.

Just run the wildcat and snap the ball directly to Jackson?

It’s going to be nearly impossible to get Kolb spun up in 3 days. I’m a realist here, the odds are extremely long that McNabb is playing QB next year for the Philadelphia Eagles. All that’s left is to build up as much trade value as you can. Let him face the Cards, Giants and Browns and have him put up some numbers while the Eagles are still technically in contention. Once Philly has been officially eliminated from the WC then you can make the switch to Kolb and build for the future. I just worry that if the Eagles bench McNabb right now it will have a negative affect on what the he can bring back in a trade. His future new team could argue that if he wasn’t good enough to start for a Philly team still in contention then maybe he’s not really worth blah blah blah.

It’s strictly gamesmanship at this point but oh well. It’s also ruthless and a little cruel to McNabb but there are holes in the franchise that maybe his trade could help fill. Philly is going to have to replace their starting O-Tackles and FS, maybe their Sam LB as well and that’s just off the top of my head.

But your offense tried to give us the game all day and we just didn’t seem to want to take it, for the first three quarters at least. However, this is a classic Ravens bend-but-don’t-break defense. When I saw we were getting pressure on McNabb, I knew the turnovers would follow. I just didn’t expect so many nor did I expect us to not do too much w/ them. Face it, thoi, Eagles fans, if the Ravens offense had any bite in the first half, we could have put a 50 spot up on you, so try to find the “bright” spot in this loss?

Good luck on Thanksgiving!

copied a TiVO’d version of Game 5 of the World Series for me on a flash drive, so I’ll be cuing that up all week.

if only crabtree was a junior lol …

as how offense has failed lately …

I think Buck might just be limited at best for the practices this week.
After he came back, there was 1 play where he was on the field (lined up at FB), I think he couldn’t go…

The time is now Eagles fans. After 10 seasons, it is time to show Andy Reid the door. The reasons are endless. The bad play calling, mediocre drafting, horrible time management, the arrogant press conferences, enough is enough.

Its time to let Jeffrey Lurie know how displeased we are with Andy Reid, and that we feel it is time to move the team in a new direction. If you have had enough of Coach Reid and feel like you might throw up if you watch him coach another game, please sign this petition and send it to your fellow Eagles fans.

After the final week of the NFL’s regular season, when the Eagles miss the playoffs again, this petition and all of its signatures will be printed out and mailed to the Eagles owner Jeffrey Lurie. Make sure to tell friends to sign the petition.

I stand by my in-game call that Reid did this out of one-game desperation and he will start McNabb on Thursday.

I also thing that the only “desperate” thing left for him to do is to swallow his offensive pride and commit to the run. Or let Morhinweg go back to what he did with Garcia-led offense (and a healthy Westbrook, I admit).

Anyway, sounds like D-Nabb took it about as well as he could. He shouldn’t be happy, as a competitor, but he should understand why.

"My first (reaction) was, ‘Wow.’ But you go along with it," McNabb said. "I am upset about us losing the game, and I’m upset that I wasn’t able to contribute. But I am going to focus on trying to help this team get better by eliminating mistakes and turnovers."
    Kolb failed to cure the ailing Eagles (5-5-1), going 10-for-23 for 73 yards and two interceptions — a 15.3 rating. One of his interceptions was returned an NFL-record 108 yards for a touchdown by Ed Reed.
    "Obviously, it didn’t go good and I’m not going to pretend that it did," Kolb said.
    Reid said he would decide Monday whether to start McNabb or Kolb in Thursday’s home game against Arizona.
    "That will be a decision he will make. The thing I will do is I will continue to prepare as if I am the starter," McNabb said. "I’ve been a part of this thing for 10 years. You have to have short-term memory in this league, be able to focus on who you’re playing and be able to move on."

…but bench Reid. :P

Yeah, McNabb was having a bad game, but it’s a whole lot harder to play good when the defense knows where the ball’s going because of atrocious play calling.

Man, that Eagles D anit no joke. I cant count how many times Flacco should of been picked off. You guys played a great game defensiely but couldnt get it toghter offensively. Hopefully you guys re-group and close out the season strong. Good Luck throughout the season adn keep ya heads up!

First off, I can’t believe you took out McNabb because of Reed imbalanced and predictable attack. This ass is pinning the blame on his QB to steal a few more years of coaching paychecks. Why in the world would you pass on the 1 foot line with a rookie QB. Thank you for the gift. You are right about your D. Your D was great and I thought we were cooked at half. We had 3 ints and couldn’t score TDs. I guess Reed doesn’t have his sausages wrapped around the D play book. Support McNabb because the backup and free agency is a looonnnggggg road to hoe. What’s amazing is that Reed managed like he was putting a 2-8 team out of it’s misery. Way to pack it in. Without support your not getting the guys in the bunkers.

i meant without “run support” in that last sentence

nice play breakdown… coaches who more often run on 2nd and 4 will succeed. it usually leads to a 3rd and 2 which no defense can defend confidently. if i had a series where i gained 4 and 6 yards on my first two runs there is no way i’m passing more than running until it completely shuts down. reid passed 5 of those 8 times in that possession. fundmentally stupid…and considering the ravens just gave up 200+ to the Giants and our best D player is Ed Reed.

and it seems like McNabb has already started house hunting in Chicago….

The only team in the division with more drama than us. God bless you for that….

I can’t remember the last time the team has seemed this rudderless.

If it’s McNabb, then we’re in a situation for the rest of the year where both guys are always looking over their shoulders.

If it’s Kolb, he’s got a short week to prepare, but I think he has to be the guy the rest of the year.

I’m just not sure how McNabb can stay in Philly now unless Reid goes. (And of Reid or McNabb, I’d take McNabb and a new coach).
