Ahhh yes. Reminiscent of a few years ago, after a successful stint by AJ Feeley, the fans were calling for McNabb's head when he started the (2003?) season a little slow. "McNabb can't execute a 3 step drop like Feeley!" "He's not mobile anymore!" etc, etc....typical Philly fans. Relax, McNabb will get his groove back.

I hate to admit this but after last year I have to agree that Philly has some of the dumbest sports fans in the world. If I have to argue with one more moron about how Kolb shouldn't start my fucking head is going to explode.

I'm sorry, but the play calling has been what's killed the Eagles. They don't have a dominant receiver, McNabb isn't 100%, so why do they persist in calling stupid plays? After the first half, it didn't take a football genius to figure out that the best player in an Eagles uniform is a versatile RB who can run and catch. The receivers are pretty bad and can't get open down the sideline. Why ignore Westbrook? Hell, why are they throwing to receivers down the sideline anyway? I mean, you know, there are things like slants, posts, and hitches. Aren't the Eagles supposed to be a West Coat offense? Stupid, stupid stupid.

McNabb is guilty of expecting too much out of his receivers, who aren't very tall and don't really like catching 60 mph bullet passes. Andy Reid is guilty of calling an awful game. If he had just pretended that Garcia was still behind the helm, the Eagles would have torn through that Washington defense.

A) Kolb is not the #2 QB ya dolt
B) No, you do not bench your pro bowl QB who was on pace for an MVP season last year before his injury because of two mediocore games
C) God, Philly fans are dumb.

Why the hell would you run the ball when you have one of the top O-lines in the NFL and one of the best running backs in the NFL and in your team's history? You don't run the ball! Instead, you have your rusty quarterback throw inaccurate passes to receivers who can't get open in the first place. Pure genius.

I'm a rabid Eagles fan, and even I have to pick the Lions next week. Banged up Eagles secondary, piss poor Eagles offense, and Detroit's 8 million big play wide receivers = Lions win.

i'm from philly, and i hate it when people talk sh!t on mcnabb, they have no idea wtf they are talking about. most of the city still loves him, but the few that bitch are louder and more annoying than the rest :(

McNabb was just off last night, can't really do much about that (see: missed wide open TD at the end of the game). :shrug: He'll be back, just off to a slow start.
