Philadelphia Eagles

You just never know. I went to the game on Thanksgiving Night and watched the Eagles play like I know they can. I've been fighting with people all season long that the Eagles are a good team. That Donovan McNabb is still a great quarterback. Then the Bengals game happens. Then the Ravens game occurs. One friend says they have split personality. Maybe. To me, the problem lies with one person and with most things, the problem most likely always starts at the top. The top this time is Coach Andy Reid. For a guy who says McNabb is his guy and will always be his guy, he has a strange way of showing it. For example...

1. Why have the Quarterback coach tell McNabb he's benched in the Ravens game? Tell him yourself if the relationship is so good and you feel this is the right decision for the team. For the record, a horrible decision.

2. You have Brian Westbrook. Run the damn ball. And if you think Westbrook isn't enough, get another back that is healthy and can take a hit. Buckhalter is too risky. Booker is a rookie and Coach Reid seems to always have him inactive. GET ANOTHER RUNNING BACK so everything isn't on McNabb's shoulders.

3. You can not pass pass pass. Defenses will sit back and wait for McNabb to pass every down. Put your QB in a good position to win and be successful.

4. Don't let McNabb find out he is the starter for the next game from the janitor. Really?

5. Find someone who can get you 1 yard. Hey I know, your boy. You guy. Your QB. Donovan McNabb. It worked Thursday night. Keep that in mind.

Coach Reid has thrown not just McNabb, but the whole team under the bus this season. 6-5-1 should be 9-2 or 8-3, at worst 7-4 and in the thick of the playoff hunt. Another wasted season and mainly because Coach Reid isn't up to the challenge this season, and well, last season too. But when the Eagles take the field next season, Kevin Kolb will probably be under center. Let me know how that works out. Waste Westbrook's best years. Waste a frachise WR that is young and talented like DeSean Jackson. You think this season is long? McNabb will be winning in Minnesota, Chicago, or maybe Tampa Bay. What a shame...
