The Linc - 4th & 26 one of the decade's 10 best plays


The 10 best plays of the decade - Shutdown Corner - NFL - Yahoo! Sports
Among them... none other than 4th and 26.

DeSean Jackson of Philadelphia Eagles says he blacked out after concussion, unlikely to play vs. Atlanta Falcons - ESPN
Philadelphia Eagles wide receiver DeSean Jackson, in his first public comments since suffering a concussion last Sunday against the Washington Redskins, says it is extremely unlikely he will play this Sunday in Atlanta against the Falcons. "I don't think I can go," Jackson said. "I blacked out."

Paul Domowitch: McNabb's final stop is likely to be Canton | Philadelphia Daily News | 12/02/2009
This being America, everybody's entitled to their opinion, including me. When the subject is Hall of Fame-worthiness, though, my opinion matters a little bit more than Joe from Roxborough's because I'm one of the 44 members of the Hall's board of selectors.

Vick going back to Atlanta as spectacle and afterthought | HamptonRoads.com | PilotOnline.com
Michael Vick "returns" to Atlanta this Sunday as an NFL player, but what does that mean? Simply that Vick will be in the Georgia Dome, dressed in his No. 7 jersey, when the Philadelphia Eagles play the Falcons.

The Atlanta Falcons' loss of Matt Ryan shouldn't hurt other Falcons fantasy options (Tony Gonzalez, Roddy White, Michael Turner) - ESPN
I can't think of many cases in which I call an injury a "good thing" in fantasy football, but the fact is, those who have been relying on Matt Ryan shouldn't be too upset about the Atlanta Falcons' quarterback already being ruled out for the team's Week 13 game against the Philadelphia Eagles because of turf toe. If you noticed the trend in our rankings, we weren't counting on Ryan for much anyway, as he's been struggling for much of this season and rarely approaching his draft-day value. Now you have no choice but to sit him, which you should have been doing anyway.

I love how they had the “Tony Romo Snap Play” on there. That play will always bring a smile to my face.

Excellent Mcnabb article.

The one thing I didn’t like was that on page 1 Domowich talks glowingly about how few INTs McNabb throws, then on page 2 he lists one of McNabb’s weaknesses as his unwillingness to squeeze the ball into tight spots. So, P Dom loves the low INTs, but secretly wishes there were more, maybe? Who knows.

Very nice article… McNabbs in the league with a lot of future famers and its nice to hear someone include him in that group

Im thinking McNabb's HOF ballot is contingent on getting a ring

As much success as he’s had he’s also personally come up short in many of the big games. I think him being one of the best black QBs will help his bed also

I don't think it will

If in fact he plays at a high level for another 4 years or so. His numbers will put him among the top guys at that point.

That said, if he won a ring he could probably retire right now and get in.

yeah i'm with Jason

i dont the ring is totally essential

with a ring he’s a shoe in … without one he will need to produce at this same level for at least 3 years. I still think he gets in maybe not first ballot without a ring.

HOF considerations are Not Affirmative Action..........

Mcnabbs Accomplishments will be HOF worthy for a qb of any his race. The attempts to trivialize what he has done say and say he is otherwise undeserving but would get in based on the color of his skin speak to the ignorance of someof the ppl on this board.

The People's Champ!

I do love watching 4th Down Freddie bust out the championship belt after that catch. Even though I love our WR’s now so much more than the one on that playoff team, I have to admit I did enjoy Freddie’s amusing antics during his brief Eagles career.

Anytime

someone dares say something negative about mcnabb there’s always someone saying it’s racism…in other words because he’s black were not even supposed to consider the idea that he could possibly be less than perfect and if he is it’s someone else’s fault. Notice how people are hesitant to single out mcnabb when a game goes bad and always have to qualify a criticism with mcnabb AND reid…sometimes it’s true but sometimes it just politically correct b.s.

I have to admit the spot on the 4th and 26 is play was an utter joke. they marked it like 2 yards past where he was tackled

by eaglesinmd on Dec 3, 2009 11:52 AM EST reply actions  

he still had the first down but they added about 2 yards on to the spot.
