Is Mcmahon that skinny one? You know, the one that looks like he just got liberated from a concentration camp? I keep getting them confused.

McMahon still has less command of the playbook, he just has better feet.
This limits what they can do in terms of playcalling.

SWEEEEEEEETTTT!!! Just keep Ryan Moats penned up, and then a little pressure on McMahon, and we're GOLDEN!!! (Actually, Burgundy and Gold-en!)

Do NOT overlook anyone on our schedule !! Any team on our schedule has the ability to take it to us and beat us. The players and fans need to recognize this fact and apply their outlook starting at that point.

Philly is the most dangerous team we're going to play. They'd like nothing but to end our season. They have nothing to lose and dont have to be conservative out of fear of the big play.

I agree with this 100%. Thank God we have great coaches like we do who, hopefully, will not let this team look passed Philly.

I'd actually rahter have Detmer start, because McMahon poses a bigger problem because of his legs.

Many times this season has the opposing offense has gotten (<- word?) easy first downs off QB's just running with miles of space ahead.

Hopefully we will have a QB Spy assigned on McMahon, preferably Sean Taylor:wink:

I agree with you - we have to play this game to win and only to win. We have to respect the opposition and we have to bring everything we have against them. Make no mistake they will be up for this one and we must be ready.

I would rather have Mcmahon start than Detmer. Mcmahon is more of a threat with his legs but his passes aren't accurate most of the time. Detmer is the one who scares me because he knows the playbook and is a better passer.

whatever they both suck, McMahon has playmaking ability though

Two words:

Clint Longley

Overlook no one.

It's even simpler than that - they are the only team we have to play this week! :shock:

we need to win this game, this week.

mcmahon or detmer, if we can't beat a back up qb, we don't deserve to get the playoff spot.

can,t beat these guys then you shouldn,t be there,you are right there.

in with a win.

the general consensus is that mcmahon should be their starter. in that case we should game plan just like we would for donovan. not very accurate but with a pretty good arm (donovan's is better, obviously) and with great feet and pocket awareness. same gameplan, higher intensity.

This team is going to everything it can to keep us out of the postseason.
It doesn't matter who's throwing the ball if everybody is headhunting.
