I hope McNabb continues to have a long career with the Eagles.

I think that not knowing that you can have a tie is more humilating than actually allowing a Tie against the bengals…

There’s an old saying that goes something like this:
"Better to remain silent and be thought of as a fool than to open your mouth and remove all doubt."
Yesterday, Donovan McNabb opened his mouth and removed all doubt. Time for him to go. Time for Andy Reid to go. Time to lob a grenade or two into the Eagles’ locker room and blow the whole damn thing to bits!

Wow…from one of the Eagle fans who realizes he’s the best we’ve ever had in the modern era, this hurts. Mind you, I’ve loved McNabb’s play since he was a frosh at Syracuse…and would’ve been jumped at the Draft for wildly cheering his selection, but this is truly stunning.

Really, Donavan? Have you never watched another NFL game and heard the announcers give the rules of OT? I find it hard to believe one can be that ignorant and be a quarterback in the NFL. As someone earlier put it, keep your mouth shut. It’s bad enough you actually tied the pitiful Bengals. Just leave it at that.

it doesn’t really surprise me that mcnabb didn’t know about the possibility of a tie.
other common knowledge is lacking in nfl players.
none of them know that you put your heals on the 10 yard line and if the ball goes over your head you let it go.
for that matter anyone covering a punt seems to think if it’s near the goal line the best thing to do is grab the ball and roll into the endzone.
then, just look at chad johnson.
face it. these guys are great athletes. they’re not always the sharpest tools in the drawer.

I’m speechless. Which is what McNabb SHOULD have bee.

As a suffering Eagle’s fan for many years, it really hurts when your Head Coach and Franchise Quarterback hasn’t a clue of what’s going on, but what about the other coaches? Is this staff as inept as they seem to be all year? Donavan has mailed it in too many times this year. He hasn’t shown up in the first quarter in the last 3 – 4 games. It’s hard to put that pressure on your defense and expect to win. Please, let’s rebuild now!! Will someone have the guts to fire Reid now! He is the worst game-day coach in the NFL. With the stupid challenges last week and not knowing the rules of football this week. I am sure we can find someone that does. He’s had his chance. Also, we aren’t going any where with McNabb. T.O was right, he has no GUTS!! He may have all the records but he couldn’t hold Jawarski’s jock-strap. I am so sick of the two of them, can we move on please!
