The McNabb Era is Over! Wait, No It Isn't!
Big Red announced today that Donovan McNabb hasn't lost his position as starting QB and will return to the field on Turkey Day to face the Cardinals at home. All the commentators are saying that McNabb still gives the team a better chance to win, and Reid thinks that "...by stepping back a few inches, you can go forward a mile..." I don't disagree with either philosophy, but the last 6 games are shaping up to be fun and soap-operatic. We can't get worse as a team, but the drama could certainly increase a bit!
The two things that are most clear to me today are:
1) Kevin Kolb ain't ready for prime time. I have a hard time believing he'll ever be until he shaves that mustache. He pretty much looks like a kicker when he has his helmet on; and
2) The Eagles have to run the ball. Like I said in my last post, the worst that can happen is the status quo, which is a regular dose of 3 and outs. Actually, we're much less apt to turn the ball over so much by investing in the run.
Andy will be tempted to keep the same game plan against the Cardinals, but I guarantee that if we do, the results will be the same. Give Don a chance to get his head back on straight.
