Not sure what’s more surprising… The last-minute winning thing… Or that Spadaro finally had something negative to say for the first time.

Haha yeah probably the latter.
It’s sad… but the former I have almost gotten used to.
I just really want to see Donovan drive us down the field, down four, with less than 2 minutes left and win us the game with a last second touchdown. It’s been sooo long since we’ve last seen that. He will never win the big one until he can overcome that “fear” of his.

Usually when we’re on that two minute drive for a TD I usually think all hope is lost, but I never realized that it had really been that long.

Timeouts Help...
and inevitably Reid has squandered them by the final 2 minutes of the game, but love or hate McNabb he is just not good in the clutch.
I wonder how many he has in his career.
Less than 5 would not be shocking. Just sad.
The road to victory!

IN THE CLUTCH:
McNabb’s clutch, late-game performances …
• Nov. 11, 2007 at Was. … rallied the team from a 22-13 deficit, rattling off 20 pts. in the 4th qtr., including a 57-yd. TD pass to Brian Westbrook to take a 26-25 lead with 3:16 remaining.
• Sep. 25, 2005 vs. Oak. … led the team on an 11-play, 75-yd. drive resulting in a David Akers FG with :12 remaining to defeat the Raiders 23-20.
• Dec. 19, 2004 vs. Dal. … trailing 7-6 with just over 6 minutes to go, led the Eagles on a game-winning 9-play, 64-yd. TD drive fueled by back-to-back scrambles that netted 31 yds. Dorsey Levens capped the drive with a 2-yd. TD run
• Oct. 24, 2004 at Cle. … after the Browns scored a late TD to send the game into OT, both teams traded punts to begin the extra period. The Eagles used a 28-yd. scramble by McNabb, 18 yds. rushing by Levens and 18 yds. receiving by Reno Mahe to set up a David Akers 50-yd. game-winning FG
• Jan. 11, 2004 vs. GB … in the NFC Divisional Playoff game, led the Eagles back from a 14-0 deficit in the 1st qtr. With 2:21 remaining, he took over at the Eagles own 20-yard line and began a dramatic game-tying drive, which included a miraculous 4th-n-26 completion to Freddie Mitchell to keep the drive alive. David Akers would later nail a 37-yd. FG to send the game into OT and then hit a 31-ydr. to win it
• Nov. 10, 2003 at GB … orchestrated a memorable two-minute drill to defeat the Packers on MNF at Lambeau Field. Down 14-10 with 2:43 remaining, he drove the Eagles 65 yds. in 8 plays which culminated in a 6-yd. TD pass to Todd Pinkston
• Dec. 30, 2001 vs. NYG … led a 24-21 victory, clinching the Eagles first NFC East Division title since 1988. Down 21-14 with 2:43 remaining, McNabb spearheaded two scoring drives – one led to a 7-yd. TD strike to TE Chad Lewis and the other to the GW 35-yd. field goal by David Akers
• Oct. 22, 2001 at NYG … engineered a last-minute scoring drive on Monday Night Football to win, 10-9. Trailing 9-3 with just under 2 minutes left, McNabb found James Thrash in the right corner of the end zone for the winning 18-yd. TD pass
• Dec. 3, 2000 vs. Ten. … led the Eagles on an 8-play, 77-yd. drive late in the 4th qtr. to give them a 13-12 lead. A last second 50-yd. FG by Al Del Greco gave the Titans the win
• Nov. 26, 2000 at Was. … gained 125 yards rushing, leading to a 23-20 win. His highlight-film 21-yd. TD run saw him race by DE Bruce Smith, juke S Mark Carrier, and drag S Matt Stevens into the end zone. He also had a career-long 54-yd. scamper to set up the game-winning FG late in the 4th qtr.
• Nov. 12, 2000 at Pit. … Down 23-13 with 3:26 to play, again orchestrated a comeback, OT victory for the 2nd straight week as he was 12 of 18 passing for 106 yards and 1 TD in the 4th qtr. and OT in leading the Eagles to a 26-23 win
• Nov. 5, 2000 vs. Dal. … in a 16-13, come-from-behind win, led a two-minute drive late in the 4th qtr. to tie the game and withstood an INT in overtime to lead the Eagles to the GW FG

Good post
That’s good info… but that list is pretty dismal.
As many playoff games as McNabb has played in, you’d think he’d have more than just one game on that list (4th and 26). That’s just disappointing.

Yea...
He was never a consistently clutch QB but there were a couple times when he did bring the team back late in the game only for the defense to lose it in the end. The NFC Championship game and the Redskins game which is first on that list. If Mcnabb only could have led a game winning drive in the Championship game last year or the defense made that last stop, i think he would be known for having the greatest comeback victory in the history of the NFL.

Mcnabb
was AWFUL in the first quarter of the CG… We left at least 2 TDs on the field because of McNabb’s awful throws…. The defense was probably worse that game but McNabb only showed up for 3 quarters of that game.
The greatest comeback victory? You must not be very old. It wouldn’t even be close. How about the Buffalo Bill’s 35-3 come back?

Mcnabb showed up for three quarters and did enough to win the game. The defense let us down. I am not very old but i do know about the Bills comeback. That is the greatest comeback but i would have rated Mcnabb’s up there in the top 3. Bills game had a lot of crazy shit happening like fumbled snaps, recovering onside kicks, and ints returned for touchdowns. NFCC game, it was flat out Mcnabb’s play that brought the Eagles back to take the lead. That’s why i said “he” would be known for having the greatest comeback victory. Team wise it is definitely the Bills.

ugh the old clutch argument … was Michael Jordan clutch? I would argue that he was a great player regardless of situation.
was David Tyree clutch? he made a circus catch and gets cut the next year.
What is the matrix of defining a clutch player?
What has Drew Brees done? he has gaudy numbers but what has he won?

He also hasn’t had a defense even close to the level that Donovan has had.
I wouldn’t speak too soon… look at the Saints now that they have a pretty good defense… undefeated.
I still love McNabb… and always have been a supporter of his but I’m just saying. I’d wait to pass judgment on Brees until after this year.

Yeah I for the past two years I have just conceded the game when we are down with 2 minutes left. And I know someone might eventually point out that we have been ahead quite a lot during Reid’s tenure. But since 04 he’s at almost exactly .500, so there have been some very close games in the past four years. That we always lose. I’m really tired of this. I’m a McNabb supporter, but I have said for a while now that he (and Andy) can NOT win the game when it is on the line. It’s rare for a team to have blowouts in all their playoff games and the Superbowl, so guess why we haven’t won it yet?
Okay so maybe it's time to move on. Hopefully it'll be moving on to winning a Championship!

The head coach need to put his players in best position to win. When the head coach blows at time management and in-game adjustments, he fails at doing his job.
Not to mention it is also the coaches’ job to make sure the players execute.

Don’t just accuse me of being a bandwagoner because of one statement. I support Reid, but I’m allowed to acknowledge his areas of weakness, ass. We could have had this discussion after a win over the Giants and it would still be true that he struggles in some areas.
bc players arent lined up right or something stupid like that.
Well I’d say that it is the coach’s responsibility to make sure that “stupid” things like that don’t happen. But I know that the onus is on McNabb here. Whatever the situation is, if there is a bit of time left he should get us into a winning position, it’s just made harder if Andy for example has no timeouts left or has been calling passes all game so the D needs to worry even less about play action than they normally would in the 2 minute drill.

Andy has to equally share the blame on this
He has been the coach of this team for 11 years. These aren’t players he’s inherited. I agree that players have to execute, but they are his guys. Reid still has the same issues now that he did in 1999 when he started. This team still struggles with clock management issues. A large part of that blame has to go on the coach. The fact that after Westbrook runs of 25 and 9 yards on CONSECUTIVE plays they only ran the ball 3 times and passed it 23 times is a problem. It tells me that when things aren’t going as planned, he’s just going to air it out regardless of the success. You saw the pass rush the Raiders put on the offense and the success they had. After two successful run plays wouldn’t you go with something that has had some success? Where was the draw play in that situation?
I agree that Reid is a very good coach, but I do think we all need to recognize that he is flawed, and those flaws are costly at the end of a close game. I think Reid is good enough to consistently win during the regular season and win a playoff round. But I just don’t think his act wins a Super Bowl I truly put him in the same league as coaches like Marty Schottenheimer, Jeff Fisher, and Bum Phillips. Very good coach but not one of the greats.

I think there’s no question about it. Other than the 4th and 26… what has he done… has he ever put the team on his shoulders and won a big game in the last 2 minutes. He has all of the awards and accolades, but the reason why we don’t have a SB Trophy is because he hasn’t done what Tom Brady, Peyton Manning, Ben Rothlisberger (even Eli Manning, ugh) has done. Lead a clutch, game-winning drive in a big game (Super Bowl, Conference Championship game, etc). It is sooo FRUSTRATING!

And for all the chumps that say we are negative about Mcnabb and remmeber Doug Pederson etc…
We get that…Mcnabb IS better than 90 percent of the QB’s out there. He has been for years…but really big games he tends to blow it when the games on the line…NOT the 3 quarters BEFORE the game being on the line…but when its on the line. And dont give me BS about having weapons….he had TO, he had desean jackson and curtis and celek last year…..he has Westbrook…he doesnt have Brady weapons but hes had some good players for sure and he just didnt get it done. Who knows maybe Kolb will be the next Tom Brady or Joe Montana…..you never know. But we DO know Mcnabb isnt…but that doesnt mean we cant win with him….lets just sure we are up 10 in these big games.
by Gdog2009 on Oct 24, 2009 12:49 PM EDT reply actions 0 recs
agreed
I think Mcnabb’s downfall is his inconsistency. He might destroy a team, or he might play so bad that we can’t even beat Cincy, WSH, or OAK. Kolb looks a lot better and more fluid then McNabb does. He’ll be able to sustain a drive because we don’t have to worry about passes behind the WR or at their feet. When Garcia was here, that was pretty much the same case.

by Joe_D on Oct 24, 2009 1:00 PM EDT up reply actions 0 recs
true.
It is his inconsistency and his choking at big moments that stops him from being a elite QB. Here is what you get from Mcnabb that you dont get from Kolb or a lot of other standard QB’s…the ability to make a play when everything else breaks down. The ability to make the spectacular ESPN highlight play…the ability to run the ball like a running back in for a touchdown.
Lets not leave Andy Reid out of the equation though…these moments where Mcnabb “chokes”…a lot of the time Andy puts SO much pressure on Mcnabb to be EVERYTHING by throwing 50 times a game and ignoring the run…it does make it harder on Mcnabb. Still…I have many memories of Mcnabb missing wide open receivers at key moments so I will not put it all on Andy…this is mostly Mcnabbs achilles heal and it wont change….even with all the weapons he has now. Hopefully our defense picks it up and we start to run the ball a little so its not ALL on Mcnabb and he doesnt HAVE to win key games in the last 2 minutes.

Let’s just save the Kolb is better than Mcnabb chants until he plays a “real” defense.
he might play so bad that we can’t even beat Cincy, WSH, or OAK
Cincinnati game: 58 passes, 14 rushes. LOSS
Washington game: 46 passes, 12 rushes. LOSS
Oakland game: 46 passes, 11 rushes. LOSS
I guess Mcnabb calls the plays. If the defense knows you are passing, hint: It makes it harder on the quarterback.

He may be more athletic and move around the pocket, but he is can’t throw into tight coverage EVER…That’s why his INT ratio is so low. But it’s also why he can’t lead a sustained drive

The last time this team even won 10 games with mcnabb at the helm was the 2005 season. Since then the only 10 win season was as a result of Garcia coming in and winning 5 straight to end the season. With Mcnabb we were 5-6 that year(2006).
The Eagles were dominant form 2001-2005…since then they have been above average. I love Mcnabb…but hes not clutch…he never has been…he never will be. He gets tight in close important games when its all on him to lead the team to victory. Some of you need to stop pretending hes better than he is..As I stated earlier…he is the greatest non clutch QB in the history of the NFL.

How quickly we forget the most recent “close important” game. I seem to recall McNabb “leading” his team to a potential victory victory over the Cardinals last season only to have the defense cough it right back over the very next series. But where’s all the hate for the D. Our defense played unbelievable during the final stretch but when it came to the “biggest game” of the season they were absolutely gashed all day. Seems pretty un"clutch" to me. Its so easy to point your finger at one person (MCNABB MCNABB MCNABB), but at the end of the day games are won as a team AND lost as a team.
