were you watching the same game? McNabbs picks really werent his fault, and were more lucky if anything. Did you see the QB across the field? The QB who couldn’t through a spiral into the wind and had his passes fall short of their intended receiver. My hits on McNabb are that he doesn’t use him legs enough to spark the offense when they are slumping, and he seems to only have one pass: firing the ball as hard as he can. Yesterday, however, his arm strength was apparently. Going into the wind or with the wind, Donavon threw good passes. Yea, he had some batted down, he took a safety in end zone, but overall, I thought his play was very good.

Third down.

That’s all I have to say.

seriously… all you do is come here to bitch about McNabb… we get it… you don’t like him… fantastic… now piss off already… jesus… let it go… we don’t all worship at the guys feet, but we’re not all stupid either… you’ve been here for what, 6 days? alot of us have been here for years! we’ve had discussions about McNabb’s shortcomings, but we also recognize his strengths… you just come to rant aimlessly. go start ihatedonovanmcnabb.com and leave us alone.

The numbers didn’t show it, but I thought McNabb’s performance yesterday had to be one of his better playoff efforts. And the contrast with Manning, who was terrible, couldn’t have been much clearer.

He made good decisions, with the possible exception of the first INT—and at that point he wasn’t getting much time to throw—he managed the two-minute drill at the end of the first half, historically not a strength, exceptionally well, and he was superb in the third quarter. That 3rd and 20 completion to Avant might be the signature play of the Eagles’ playoff run so far.

I think McNabb and—amazing as it seems to write this considering where things stood two months ago—the offensive coaches deserve equal credit for the current run. Yesterday they figured out what wasn’t working through the first 28 minutes, and made the adjustments. For his part, McNabb managed the game very well, didn’t try to do too much, and kept his cool magnificently whenever things could have gotten away from them. The Curtis drop, which had me screaming obscenities, didn’t faze him at all.

i never once doubted mcnabb , the only time i ever wanted mcnabb to be benched was coming off the injury and garcia with the nice run to start the next season (purely for 5’s health) … i wanted garcia to be extended 1-2 years to start while mcnabb sat till 100 % fully healed and hopefully garcia would of uped his trade value by then so we could of received a nice deal for him mid season or f-tagged him in the off season and let 5 take back the reigns … if someone wants to consider that doubting thats ridiculous …

with the percentage of support , it could be just me because this is who i am around … everyones friends are different , a lot of mine want kolb a lot want mcnabb … some of the fans who dont want mcnabb are just racist pricks but i dont deal with them (i just know their opinion) and some think his time is up , yada yada yada …

now i dont love anyone on the eagles more than dawkins and quite frankly im thinking of doing a sports tribute tat on my back starting with 20 covering the entire back … and other players / symbols / skyline / stadium etc in the background , i can guarantee you mcnabb will be in it if i go through with it …. thats how much im “worshiping at his feet” … for the haters , sorry i continue to support the greatest qb this franchise has ever seen …

ps dawk how is it with you and you friends ? 50/50 ? 60 /40 ?

His record is 7-8. He’s tossed 22 TDs and 17 INTs in January. His completion percentage falls to 56 percent (eight points lower than his career percentage). And in his eight playoff losses, the Colts average 13 points per game.

Also, let’s not forget that in his 2006, four-game Super Bowl run, Manning threw three TDs and seven INTs. His Super Bowl MVP trophy was a gift from the media, probably a thank-you for the wonderful TV commercials.

I’m a Peyton Manning fan. His postseason play is indefensible.

Manning probably has the best regular season numbers in history. He’s EXTRAORDINARY. But I like to play this silly game of “Who was he throwing to?” Marvin Harrison, Reggie Wayne, Brandon Stokley, Dallas Clark, etc.

And for all those who say he doesn’t have a reliable running game in Joseph Addai, lest you forget he had All-Pro Edgerrin James for 6 years, 2 of which he led the NFL in rushing.

I just don’t think McNabb has been blessed with talent around him like Manning. Translation, he has done more with less than a lot of Top-Notch QBs, besides maybe Tom Brady, but even that’s questionable.

But good post on Delhomme, Eli. When the chips are down, the media wants the QB out.

I for one also agree with JD! that if Kolb had been in, we’d have won this game 63-11.

the players say he’s the leader, but you don’t want him to be. kevin curtis let a beauty of a pass hit him in the face and fall to the ground. damn mcnabb! why did he have to throw it so accurately?! that first INT made no difference. It was third and forever, they threw a bomb to the 25 yard line. Had they punted on the next play, it’s likely that’s where the giants would have started anyways. The second INT was due to the defensive line getting penetration and knocking the ball in the air. and by the way, there is a thread giving credit to the defense as the best we’ve had. as for the phone thing, that’s a last resort for the fan who hates the best QB in franchise history. he had a good game, converted several third downs, and put the offense on his back, so the idiot bashing mcnabb has nothing to turn to but a phone call when the game was more or less over.

Eagleyosh, I don’t think he understood the sarcasm there…

Randall made me an Eagles fan – but no… he was never the QB or the team leader that 5 is. I proudly wear “12” and thinking back to some of his stunts puts a big green grin on my face, but McNabb is simply put better. As many mistakes as he makes (and he makes a few) Randall did too. The way back squad you mention was playing a whole different game btw. But even if they weren’t, you seem to hold championships in high regard and 5 has gotten us damn close… closer than 12 ever did and he won more games than Van Brocklin and Thompson and has a beter winning percentage too.

i’m old and you went to the vault yo
*let’s keep it to the “modern” era – since SB I

wah wah wah wah … wah wah wah wah wah wah ! wah wah wah wah !!

for someone who is attempting to back up their claim with historical reference, you sould probably look in the Eagles’ all-time stat book under Quarterback… want to let us know what name is at the top of all of the lists. want to let me know who has the most postseason wins as a QB in team history? who has the lowest interception percentage in the history of the NFL? so, no… i hate to inform you that it’s not just a bunch of voters that may or may not have been alive for blah blah blah and who heard of blah blah blah…

please give me statistical data that refutes the fact that Donovan McNabb is the best quarterback in Eagles’ history. until you can do that, i’ve pretty much formed the conclusion that you’re full of shit. all you have is opinions… and you know what they say about opinions right?

and before you go there, i’m not a McNabb worshiper… i’m a “whoever gives the Eagles the best chance to win” worshiper… and weather you want to admit it or not, that’s McNabb.

I hope your “dam” holds!

for discussion and occasionally arguing

the monday after the titans (1 seed in afc), the giants (1 seed in NFC and defending champs), and the panthers (2 seed in the NFC) all lost, while the 2 six seeds and a 4 seed remain. the steelers are the highest seed left with the 2 seed. also, have you heard of the patriots? that team made it difficult for anyone to win a SB this decade.

i feel like we’re arguing with a brick wall, but the wall absorbs more

lets just not reply to his comments all of us we did this before and the dude went away
