Vick Playing Tired

THE EAGLES retired No. 5 last night. They won’t be retiring No. 7 any time soon.

Maybe Michael Vick tried too hard on the night of his mentor’s immortalization.

Maybe he wanted to impress Andy Reid, the best coach he ever had, the man who afforded Vick redemption.

Maybe he was just tired, playing his third game in 11 days at the most frenetic offensive pace in NFL history.

Maybe he was just due for a vintage Vick implosion.

McNabb Asks To Be Released From Redskins Contract

That certainly didn’t last long.  Donovan McNabb wants out.  

Anybody remember “Please Release Me” by Engelbert Humperdinck? 

Now that Mike Singletary has been fired as head coach of the 49ers, there is some speculation that good old number 5 might end up in San Francisco.  Time will tell.

Will Donovan leave his heart in San Francisco?

McNabb Speaks Out – Feels Disrespected

So good old Chunky Soup finally opens his yap about getting demoted to third-string QB for the Redskins.  Of course, McNabb blames Coach Shanahan for not giving him a chance and for leaking news to the media before he was aware.

First of all, your performance this season should have been a clue that things were not exactly going according to plan.  I think this is the worst season I remember for McNabb.  It’s been a downward spiral.

As far as being disrespected, I think you need to put your big boy pants on and own up to the fact you have been a huge disappointment to the Redskins.  Maybe they feel a little disrespected by your abysmal performance this season.  Andy Reid is not around anymore to coddle your ego and make excuses for you.  Plus the rest of the Eagles team is outstanding and propped up your inconsistent behind week after week.

So Donovan, you have nobody to blame for the predicament you find yourself in except you.  The rest of the NFL is not as nice as Andy Reid!

Retire!

McNabb’s Career Swirling Around The Drain

Image via Wikipedia

Donovan McNabb‘s career is in free fall.  He is now being reduced to third string QB for the Redskins and coach Mike Shanahan said he may not be back next season.  Didn’t we just witness the hoopla over McNabb’s new contract a few weeks ago?  However, before the ink was dry he lost another game?

The Redskins are 5-8.  There are three more games left this season for the Redskins.  After next week, McNabb falls to third string for the last two games of the season.  McNabb’s performance has been erratic (say it ain’t so Joe) and he has dropped to 25th in the league with a 77.1 passer rating.  Not to mention his career-high 15 interceptions.

I think this season certainly justifies to anyone why McNabb is no longer No. 5 with the Eagles.

IMHO Donovan should bow out gracefully and retire while he still has a shred of dignity left!

McNabb Signs Multi-Million Dollar Contract, Then Promptly Gets A Spankin’ From The Eagles

What a charmed life Chunky Soup McNabb leads.  His career with the Eagles was impressive in some respects but McNabb could never follow through for a Super Bowl victory.  So after more than a decade as Number 5, he got traded to the Washington Redskins.

During Donovan’s first year with the Redskins he is again mired in controversy and got benched by the team’s coach Mike Shanahan because he can’t grasp the team’s offense.  Media hype and speculation about what the benching meant ensued.

So yesterday I read that Donovan has just signed a whopping $78.5 million dollar, 5-year contract with the Redskins.  The $78.5 million would be if Donovan gets resigned and he completes all the incentives, however, this is still a huge amount of money for an “on again, off again”, nearly 34-year-old quarterback.  Certainly more faith than I would put in Mr. McNabb based on present and past performances.

As a big thank you to the Redskins owner Dan Snyder, Donovan gets the stuffing beat out of him, at home, before the ink is dry. 

After this huge loss to the Eagles (59-28), the Redskins drop to 4-5 for the season.  Hardly a record that merits a contract of that size IMHO!

Donovan McNabb Traded

Chunky Soup will be leaving the Philadelphia Eagles and joining the Washington Redskins.  Hopefully we can move forward and maybe win something now.  11 years is a long time and a change is needed for the Eagles to win a Super Bowl.  It wasn’t gonna happen with McNabb as QB.

McNabb Trade Rumors

The Philadelphia Inquirer is reporting that the St. Louis Rams have made the Eagles an offer for “Chunky Soup” McNabb.  The St. Louis Rams are stating this is totally false information.

Andy “I take full responsibility” Reid has made comments that the Eagles have received trade offers for all three QB’s.

What to do, what to do.  Any takers for Andy Reid while we’re at it??

Eagles Dump Westbrook

Brian Westbrook will be cut from the Philadelphia Eagles effective March 5th.  That certainly sucks.  If we are cutting people based on performance….I can think of others would should go before Westbrook.

Of course, Andy Reid is still backing Donovan McNabb so look for number 5 to return this fall.  Another season of excuses and crushed dreams for the fans.  Until the Eagles dump Andy Reid a Super Bowl win will continue to elude us!

Eagles Beat Falcons 34-7 In One-Sided Game

The Atlanta Falcons were no match for the Philadelphia Eagles today.  The Falcons finally scored at the very end of the game.  Kinda felt like that was a gimme.  Otherwise it would have been a total shut-out.

Michael Vick received alot of support in Atlanta.  Many people cheered and held up signs in support.  Vicki got his first NFL touchdown since returning.  Donovan got a break and stood on the sidelines.

I must say I am impressed at the amount of support Donovan McNabb is giving Michael Vick.  Looks like he is happy to share the limelight with Vick and was gave Michael a big hug after he threw the scoring pass. 

Might we see a changing of the guard here?  Time will tell.

Reid: ‘They Outplayed Us in Every Phase’

Really Andy!!!!!!!!!!!!  We didn’t notice you all SUCKED today!!!

Please fire this idiot!!!  No more excuses!

Birds Are 15 Point Favorites Over The Bucs

This makes me nervous. 

McNabb is not 100%, wearing a protective jacket and still having discomfort.  No duh!  But yet even though he probably isn’t ready…Andy Reid will let him start, as usual!

What’s wrong with this picture???  Can you see a stinkin’ in the Linkin’ a brewin’ here folks?  I hope I am wrong but between Donovan needing more time off to heal and people getting cockey being 15 point favorites this is a recipe for disaster.

The good news is that I am reviewing Dracula at the Tri-PAC at 3:00.  If this game goes south I will be spared the second half.

Go Eagles!!!!!

McNabb To Start Sunday Against Winless Tampa Bay

# 5 is returning to the helm on Sunday against Tampa Bay.  Westbrook is supposedly back this week as well.  This is a game we SHOULD win.  Time will tell.

Let’s make it 3-1!

McNabb Says He Just Needs Consistency…..

Really Donovan.  We hadn’t noticed…..

Master of the obvious, isn’t he???

Philadelphia Eagles

So the addition of Michael Vick is highly controversial and has me quite upset.  I think there are other players without so much baggage that could have been sought out.  Secondly, why did Pete Rose never get a second chance??  Honestly, I think what Michael Vick did is far worse.  Not sure what I am going to do this season as far as watching games.  What are your thoughts on adding Michael Vick to the Eagles??
