i hope this silences all the morons here in Philly that actually think the Eagles are gonna be better with Kolb playin QB....are ya ****** kidding me??? Mcnabb needs to play under a differant coach...Andy Reid is the biggest joke of the league right now. he better get the boot after this year...im sick of his ****! Pull your start QB out of a game when your only down by 5 points....GREAT ****** CALL ANDY!!!

I'm not saying anything like that..
i def dont think kolb is the answer -- he is terrible and i'm not putting the blame solely on mcnabb -- its hard to lose a game when u aren't playing. I put some blame on the play calling, i think we need a healthy back to start
what i was saying was that mcnabb was not doing a good job -- if u have a backup quarterback and ur starter came into the game with a starting performance that bad, why not give the backup a try. i feel too much pressure is placed on mcnabb and for a while i thought the coaches saw him as an almight playmaker, when mcnabb was hurt and we had garcia, the play calling changed and it was more effective IMO. we need work on the run game to convert the 3nd and shorts to start.

I don't have a problem with Kolb coming in. I have a problem with the play calling. 1st and goal from the 3...QB sneak..ok. 2nd and goal from the 6 inch line and you try a ******* PLAY ACTION play? W-T-F???
I just don't get it, I know the Eagles short yardage game is putrid but Reid just can't get away from the passing...it's pathetic.

FIRST - they need to change up their offensive play calling. It's horrific. Whether it's Reid, Mohrningweg, or someone else entirely, that person needs to be relieved of that duty...or fired. This is the number one problem that the Eagles have.
THEN - they need to start Kolb for a few games now. Either he'll settle down and start developing, or they'll realize he was a waste of time, and MAYBE he'll give McNabb a reality check and make him realize that his job is no longer guaranteed in Philly. Then put McNabb back in for the last couple games and see what happens...if he rocks, keep him one more season...if not...get rid of him and Kolb and go shopping. IF Kolb does show promise, then ditch McNabb in the off-season and devote the 09 season to developing Kolb.
Fix these two issues, and Philly will have a championship team...they've got two good backs - one is arguably the best in the league right now. They've got some great receivers...look at DeSean Jackson...he's a solid candidate for rookie of the year and nominated for the Pro Bowl in three different positions. The Special Teams issues are finally fixed, and the defense is playing well. All that's missing is a reliable QB, and some guts on the other side of the radio.

the problem here isnt the runningback...its the offensive line...they get absolutely no penatration and get manhandled by defenses...which is said cause they are the 2nd biggest in the league. Jean-gillis is the worst lineman yet...he gets beat like he stole something on every down. not to mention...the Fullback sucks even worse. he misses blocks like a highschooler.

I'm a Giant fan but oddly enough I do like some players on the Eagle's. Dawkins is my favorite on that team-although I think he played a "bit" dirty the last time the Giants played them, anyway.............
Thing that I noticed that particularly bothered me about McNabb yesterday is that he's always smiling on the field, like he's not taking it seriously.
Guy throws 2 pics and fumble's one away and he's friggin' smiling.

Anyone who calls a 7-4 record and tied for second place in the division coming off a strong win as a shot season doesn't know the game of football. Don't let emotion get in the way of rational thought. The Giants were 7-4 this time last year

The Giants are a Juggernaut this year...Dallas has half their wins by pure luck shots. Had a handful of plays gone differently, they'd be 4-7. You can't say that about the Giants...not by any stretch.
Also...when was Dallas' last playoff win? That says it all. Before they can think about the Super Bowl, they need to figure out how to win a game when it really matters. They haven't been able to do that in over a decade, and it's not going to change this year. Romo is not the next Aikman, and will not carry this team. Instead the egotistic mentality of all the big name players will tear the team apart.
I'm tired of hearing this bullshit...it's the same thing every year...all season long we hear about the "Super Bowl Champion Dallas team", and every year they blow it in the playoffs. It was the EXACT SAME TEAM that did it the past two years...they'll do it again this year...IF they're lucky enough to even get that chance.

Comparing a team who was 7-4 one year ago, finishing 10-6 and everyone saying they weren't going anywhere to a team that is 7-4 this year after missing the starting QB for a month? No, big guy, I'm not kidding you. Anyone who says at this moment that the season is shot doesn't know the game of football. The OP started talking **** a little too soon, we see what he looks like now with his team going down in flames, and the same applies to you.

You're right, the Cowboys have a shot to make the playoffs just like anyone else...but playoff wins are hard to come by in Dallas. Philly fans can be ******** most of the time but Cowboy fans are downright delusional when it comes to their team. They also forget history. Like Blakbird said, in order to dream Super Bowl the team needs to learn how to actually win a playoff game first
