BurnThePhilFans Posted January 19, 2009 Share Posted January 19, 2009 Man this game was over the second the Cardinals scored that TD with almost 3 minutes to go.... This guy can't show up in the bigtime. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlueInCanada Posted January 19, 2009 Share Posted January 19, 2009 He actually played a decent game. If the Eagles Defense actually stopped the Cards once in the first half we may be talking about a different game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BurnThePhilFans Posted January 19, 2009 Author Share Posted January 19, 2009 I didn't say he didn't play a decent game. But with the game on the line in that final drive McNabb couldn't get it done again... throwing behind him receiver specifically on the 3rd and 10 across the middle... the guy had some major room to take that one a long way if the throw is there Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TaylorBanksCarsonVanPelt Posted January 19, 2009 Share Posted January 19, 2009 I don't know...overall I think his receivers are worse than ours....that one kid Jackson(?) does more celebrating than holding onto the ball. And I think Mickey played balls out during the second half. He is very streaky and a fair to good quarterback. IMHO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JMFP Posted January 20, 2009 Share Posted January 20, 2009 I know I'm a total homer for saying this, but honestly, I think the Giants would have beaten the Cards. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was just thinking... if either Tampa didn't blow it vs Oakland we would have faced a Minnesota or Bucs team in the divisional round followed by Arizona... I would have liked our chances... Even the Eagles matchup though - we should have won. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ppodlesny Posted January 20, 2009 Share Posted January 20, 2009 McNabb started slow then had a real nice game 375 yards 3 TDs in the second half. the eagles put up 25 points and with the leagues 3rd ranked defense, eagles should have won this game.

BadEgg Posted January 20, 2009 Share Posted January 20, 2009 only idiots blame mcnabb for this loss 100% correct. Getting Warner to cough up the ball just once could have made a huge difference this game. The Eagles defense did not do it. Some run blocking may have actually helped McNabb as well. They couldn't do that either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JMFP Posted January 20, 2009 Share Posted January 20, 2009 only idiots blame mcnabb for this loss Only an idiot running an incorrect route would have managed to catch his errant throws. He didn't have the benefit of the Meadowlands wind to blow his passes back on-target. I give Joe Buck and Troy Aikman credit for pointing out his accuracy issues....well-called broadcast, really.

I give Joe Buck and Troy Aikman credit for pointing out his accuracy issues....well-called broadcast, really. the dog is going to make an assumption that this statement is actually an attempt at humor. mcnabb missed some key throws, but as always, the issue with the eagles was not committing to the ground game...when they needed to settle things down in the first half, they didn't committ or have the ability to run and get some consistency on the ground. when you have to rely on your QB to make every play, you leave yourself open for too many 3 and outs. mcnabb missed some plays, but overall, it was the inability to run that cost this team...that and the fact that johnson was outcoached in the first half...

Bingo- I predicted that the dome would spell the eagles doom, but i thought it would be the Metrodome. Somehow, they got past that but they are definitely a bad weather team.

ksm7 Posted January 20, 2009 Share Posted January 20, 2009 he got Hof numbers. the guy would be a amazing if had a good receiver can't ignore that...look at his numbers the first year with a legit WR (owens)...it's always funny that the same people that want to blast mcnabb would turn around and laugh at the eagles receiving core for so long...doesn't add up to the dog - you can't have one of the worst receiving corps in the past and still have the success he has had...

BurnThePhilFans Posted January 20, 2009 Author Share Posted January 20, 2009 he got Hof numbers. the guy would be a amazing if had a good receiver He's a good qb no doubt.... Not HOF numbers in my opinion and doesn't get it done in the big games. Also, I question his training and commitment to conditioning somewhat. Everyone has seen him tire out at times. He had to let the clock run down to the 2 minute mark in the first Giants game because he was too tired to get another play off. He has put on weight throughout his career and I question his commitment to busting it in the weight room. Add that to the fact that he likes to talk a big game and dance around and I can see why alot of people (including Eagles fans) are ready to start from scratch.

BurnThePhilFans Posted January 21, 2009 Author Share Posted January 21, 2009 He has only thrown for 20+ touchdowns in 5 years out of his 10 year career.... Eli is already 4 for 4. That caught my eye. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That caught my eye. look a little closer and the dog is sure you would see that those were the only years he started all 16 games...and of the seasons he did not, he had multiple years of 18 or 19 tds...his td-int ratio far exceeds mannings...
