@ mvlonergan
I don’t blame McNabb either. Said it before, the Eagirls looked like they might be coming together than the front office felt like jacking with the chemistry some more for whatever reason. Why is the Eagirls front office constantly trying to sabotage McNabb?

I can never tell if you’re being sincere or just concern trolling, but this is a sensible argument that most Philly fans probably agree with.

I’m thinking of two numbers between 0 & 5 that match the number of Super Bowl wins each team has. Can you guess which one is yours Eagirl ?

“I celebrate this McNabb gesture and sincerely hope he WAS telling Marty to “STOP”! I see that as an exercise in leadership, where I want my QB to be.”
You want the QB to lead the coaching staff? Seriously? No wonder things are constantly so jacked up in Philthy. The QB thinks he’s the coach, and the coach can’t even run a household let alone an NFL team.

“I’m surprised you didn’t pull the race card on the jerry jones mothership dibacle.”
It was a reference to McNabb’s statement that TO’s criticism of him was “black on black crime”, fool. Why do you think that the NAACP hates him?

Yeah I took a stab at a new rule and was wrong. So execute me.

Philly fans forget the last time they won a superbowl lol…you dont get a ring for winning the NFC championship….sure Philly put a whooping on Dallas last year but that doesnt mean anything this year lol. yeah Philly is getting better with all this drama, injuries & loss of key players. if you think McNibble is better then Romo then you really lost your mind lol. McNibble has choked his career away in philly & thats why they had to bring Vick in. Romo is only a 3 year starter & at this point of his career his numbers are better then a lot of guys in the hall of fame,whats McNibbles chances of the HoF?(none). i dont know any team that would honestly take McNibble over Romo, including A.Ried/Eagles. its superbowl or bust for philly this year, lets see how McNibble (err i mean Vick) does this year.
the Turds are gone & so is last year, this is the beginning of something special in Big D.
The Dallas Cowboys are America’s Team!

This whole thing has been blown out of proportion. Of course, we are dealing with the Philly media here, so that’s no surprise. I was at the game and then re-watched it on DVR last night. The Eagles were truly struggling to sustain drives on the first few series when Vick was getting shuffled in and out.
As the leader of the team, it’s McNabb’s job to say “enough is enough — this isn’t working.” This is football, after all, and the ultimate goal is to win. Preseason or not, the players want to perform well when they’re on the field. McNabb realizes the importance of the 3rd preseason game as the last chance to “gel”.
If the same scenario occurred with Peyton Manning or Tom Brady everyone would be talking about how remarkable they are as leaders. When McNabb pulls the plug on a failing experiment, somehow he’s jealous of a guy who couldn’t shine his shoes as a QB. Besides, McNabb & Vick were seen joking and smiling on the sidelines throughout the game. Anyway, nothing McNabb said was wrong. It probably would have made more sense to let the offense establish a rhythm before mixing in the gimmick plays.
This is just another case of the Philly media rebel-rousing those mouth-breathing, knuckle-dragging idiots from South Philly. You know who I’m talking about…these are same fans who flood sports radio with incoherent psycho babble and show up at the NFL draft to boo the guy who will arguably go down as the greatest QB in franchise history.

dawk, talk about lack of intelligence.
First, if Brady or Farve told their O coordinator to stop it wouldn’t have been done by using the throat cut gesture, real professional McNabb is. Brady and Farve would have had a conversation opposed to making sure EVERYONE saw the action. Begs the question of whether or not McNabb has the team’s or his best interest at hand.
Second, it takes real brain child to only be able to come up with two ways for things to be. Why in the world would it automatically go back to the awful days of Kotite. Truly successful teams can transition from one successful coach to another. Ummmm, like Pittsburgh.
I too remember the Bad Old Days but the players on this team are very good and changing the coach will make them better not suddenly turn them into idiots that can only win three gams all year. Not too mention, as you so accurately point out, Andy Reid has ZERO Superbowls which is what truly matters. I for one would take Andy Reid being fired followed by a Superbowl win even if that meant the team suffered for a few years after. Remember, as one of the great Eagles said, you play to win the game. Not to lose 4 NFC Championships.

As an Eagles fan for over 50 years I’ve suffered through the likes of Norm Snead, Mike Boryla, King Hill. Jack Concanon, and space prohibits continuing this list. If you don’t know who these and others like them are, you make my point. With the exception of Jaws, all the McNabb haters either have short memories or are perhaps just a little dull. The simple FACT, not OPINION, is that no one in the NFL has won more games the last decade than the Eagles, and McNabb has been the QB. Now the critics will quickly jump on this and say “Yes, but they haven’t won the Super Bowl.” That is true, but unless you’ve lived through decades of season after season of 2-4 wins, you just don’t know how great it has been to actually WIN some playoff games and get to the NFC title game. The louts love Buddy, and let’s see, he won how many games? Dallas has won how many playoff games since the late 90s? If McNabb walked on water, the haters would say, “Ah, yes, but he can’t swim”! My point is, be careful what you hate for, unless you’re ready to gamble on returning to the days of a Snead, Hill, Concannon, Hoying etc. and losing after losing season. The haters who pop up here and there under the safety of anonymity seem to prefer mediocrity over success. The packed stadium and viewer ratings expose the haters for what they really are, malcontents who really don’t have an intelligent word to offer the conversation. I celebrate this McNabb gesture and sincerely hope he WAS telling Marty to “STOP”! I see that as an exercise in leadership, where I want my QB to be. If Brady or Favre would do this, the haters would be raving about their leadershhip and ranting as to why McNabb isn’t more like them. Only the feeble minded attempt to argue both ends against the middle: McNabb the “bruised vagina” and then condemn him for taking on the role of leader and heatedly arguing for what he thinks is best for the team. But, then, a telling statistic. He’s playing and they are not.

So with all this said Mike, you still think the Dolphins will burn an active roster spot each week on a 3rd QB so they can bring Pat White in cold to break the rhythm of their offense.
Yeah right.

Signing Vick may be Andy Reid’s worst move as GM. I hope it gets him fired. The Eagles need new leadership, and not at QB.

Eagirls fans,
Please answer these two questions for me: If McNabb threw for 5 TDs and had won this game all by himself, what would your regular season record be today? And if McNabb got intercepted 5 times while Vick threw for 3 TDs and still had won the game, what would your regular season record be after that?
THIS IS PRESEASON. This isn’t the first year McNabb is in this offense… it’s his 10th. If the Eagles truly want Vick to be an integral part of the offense, he needs to be on the field and DM needs to get see what the “flow” of the game will be like with Vick in.
McNabb crying about “the rhythm” in a preseason game…. all that says to me is that he doesn’t like the attention being on Vick instead of himself. Cause if he truly was a team first guy, he’d try to hash out how Vick and himself will be able to run this offense together….

Fire_Reid — Sat, 29 Aug 2009 07:06:48 +0000

hahahahahahahah!!!
you reap what you sow.
McNabb is and always has been a big baby. But let’s be clear the real problem is Andy Reid. He thinks he is way smarter than he really is and continues to make decisions for this team with his gigantic ego.
He owns this now. So all those Eagles fans out there like me that have been advocating for Reid to be fired, we just have one year left. If this keeps going the way it is now Reid might be fired by week 8, McNabb traded, Vick cut and Kolb starting at QB.

The video of McNabb ignoring Vick and giving the kill sign to his O.C. reminded me of the time t.o. went to talk to McNabb on the sideline and McNabb was being smart by not engaging him as he was being screamed at by t.o.. Remember that? McNabb looked the same way with Vick. Different reason for the behavior – but it will be the same result.The Eagles are done. After week six when Vick comes back those 66 or so dogs he killed will come home to roost. Or something like that. I think there is a schism in the Eagles locker room. NFC is officially wide open . . .

Florio and his crackerjack journalism is at it again. If there isn’t a story, continue to beat the drum until you try to create a story. You and Eskin are determined to spew your opinions rather than state the facts of any story.
Florio = glorified blogger, always citing “anonymous sources”. Most reputable news organizations will announce a source at least every once in a while, but you seem to always have “anonymous sources close to the organization”.
Stick to writing about Ocho Cinco’s tweets… It’s the only thing you seem to do with any merit.

Good times……Does any of this matter, don’t any of you have a life? Vic is getting his second chance, so what? I feel like some of you need to have an intervention on how to interact with your wife and kids, not obsess about meaningless entertainment like football, movies and video games. It’s fun to watch but it’s not a lifestyle. Turn the TV off, go outside with your kids and be a DAD.

Vox,
First of all;
You and the rest of you boys’ fans that think this doesn’t interfere with “the integrity of the game” are showing your ignorance. But most boys’ fans show their ignorance on a regular basis anyway.
You just do it on a daily basis.
Second;
I agree that you absent minded owner went by the NFL rules and the league should split the bill to raise the mother ship.
What happened when the league decided to change the with of the goal posts? Did the league pay for every stadium’s expense or did the league make every team pay for it?
Third;
You want to correct everyone’s view of the NFL’s rules, yet you tried to tell everyone that the play clock would NOT be reset on a “Do Over” if a punt hit the mothership, yet the rules show you are wrong, but, yet once again, you refuse to acknowledge any misunderstanding that YOU had of the rules.
And you want to call people hypocrites.
You are really a sad person.
If you defend our country, then good for you.
But don’t try to tell us how to think about football. Because you don’t know shit.
Fourth:
Saying my screen name is the gayest Internet screen name ever, is like the gayest thing to say when you have no sensible comeback to say at all.
But I’ve come to expect nothing more from you.

This is really a non-issue.
Any competitor would get upset when they are taken off the field in the heat of battle, if he was even upset.
Do we really have to analzye every move mcnabb makes and spin it into a story?
Would there be a story if he hadn’t made that gesture?
Again cowboys fans, eagirls is corny and not creative, go back to the drawing board.

i don’t understand why people are making a big deal about this. when vick entered the game it disrupted the offense. andy reid tried to simulate a full games worth of snaps into one half and it backfired. when vick was done for the game and mcnabb stayed on the field they moved the ball effectively and scored points. reid should have played mcnabb the first half, brought vick into the game for the third with the first team to help him get his timing back with the first unit’s players, and then worked the gimmick plays into those possessions.
what mcnabb did was what i would want my quarterback to do because it was clearly for the betterment of the team. if mcnabb wasn’t right i could see why people would see was bitching. the wildcat shit can wait until the first team has proved that they can be effective.
