A 'nasty' streak from McNabb? | Philly | 11/29/2009
The word "nasty" and Donovan McNabb have pretty much never been used in the same sentence since the Eagles' signal-caller arrived on the scene here in 1999.

The biggest cliché in the NFL - a league that dearly likes its clichés - is that when players are injured or not performing, the next guy in line has to step up and make a play. There is a lot of talk about stepping up in this league, and mostly it is just talk. Today, the Eagles did more than that, although they did chat about it afterward as well.
Mr. Opportunity: Avant Again Comes Up Big
Jason Avant has 32 catches this season, equaling his career high. It only seems like he has made every one of them in the pike position. Or with a strong safety’s helmet planted in his ribs.
Eagles' Parker should have been flagged - NFC East Blog - ESPN
That should be an easy call for the official. It was an excessive play by Parker -- and it could have cost his team the game. But the officials completely ignored it. Again, the Redskins should have never put themselves in a position to need a call like that at the end of the game. But it was horrendous no-call nonetheless.

Those incomplete passes in the final moments have become huge plays. The abandoned running game has reappeared. The big fourth-quarter drives are being fashioned by the Eagles instead of against them. Donovan McNabb's worst quarter has become his best.
Iggles Blog - Philadelphia Eagles Blog: Just Call Him Captain Comeback
If the Birds had lost, I suspect that Andy Reid would have had to spend an even greater proportion of his press conference apologizing for his failed opening gambit. As it is, let's just all have a nice laugh about it and move on.

Matt Mosley is a damn fool
Hates on the birds for being in this close one and shame on the redskins for letting one get away
He was on the cowboys’ collective dicks when they beat them by 1! I realize he’s a cowboys fan but come on. He touted the Dallas D for winning that game
And to blame the game on a bad call…did he fucking watch the dallas vs Eagles game?
Sorry I get all hopped up when it comes to that guy, what a tool
agreed Mosely is a clown … notice how he doesn’t bring up Jason Avant getting his facemask ripped or the horse collar on Asante Samuel. Things get missed it happens you need to win during the good times and the bad.
He just loves starting fights with Eagles fans he’s a clown I’m pretty sure even Dallas fans don’t like that guy.

Really
Can’t stand it. How about the Celek call in that game? And yeah, how about that bad call on the 4th done replay in the Dallas game?
Jeez.
However, I do like McNabb’s nasty streak. Apparently he said some not so nice things in the huddle on the start of that 90 yard TD drive.

McNabb- Best QB in Eagles History
This is the year
I was fine with the onside kick
I actually liked the call.
Granted we didn’t execute it well, and it didn’t work out, but if it had, we would have loved it.
Andy trusted our defense against their offense. He probably figured that the surprise gave us our best chance at recovery, and that, even if we didn’t recover, our defense would hold a relatively inept Redskins offense (missing its 2 RBs) to a field goal.
It didn’t work that way, but looking back…I liked our chances too.
