Pretty quiet b/c I have him for two.

Nope 3. Pass in the right flat. Screen pass over the middle, and now the run to the left corner. That make 3 in my scorebook!

That fumble was our chance to make it interesting. :-(

I really need McNabb to throw for like 200 more yards and two td's to win this week. FYI - I have Williams on my bench b/c they said that Torrain was going to start. Thanks Shanny. I went with Woodhead!!!!!

I think the players have quit on him. He didn't back down on Haynesworth and he messed with his best offensive player in McNabb. Is it coincidence or just he Eagles night?

I believe the players don't like or respect him...he's lost the team.

Your first post of the night and you just blew by the neggies faster then the Eagles laid 35 on us. Well done, that wasn't easy. But you're kind of slow, wanting to fire him after a whole half. I'm thinking we start firing coaches the first time we give a sack or a turnover. We should put them on probation after an incompletion or a negative yardage run. We could just have head coaches line up across the parking lot and every time one fails we just move onto the next one. That way no coach would ever lead us through this debacle again. Waddaya think?

After a half like that, I think that's everyone's first reaction. But Shanahan should stay on, but he should not and will not get a pass. If you're a proclaimed Super Bowl winning coach, there is no excuse, NONE, to lay an egg this bad especially to a rival after a bye week in a meaningful game.

I think Shanny did lose the locker room with the McNabb decision. Just because you say that it is just over-hype and water under the bridge, doesn't make it so. I really think they're playing for pride right now, not for the coaching staff.

How Shanahan handles this will really determine if this is a short or long rebuild. And ironically, he's going to need McNabb's help to make it right. I think the contract deal is the first step in that.

But you know what McNabb always had? AN OFFENSIVE LINE!

In 2002 the Philadelphia Eagles had THREE Pro-Bowl offensive linemen! Right Tackle Jon Runyan started EVERY GAME FOR NINE YEARS. RG Jermane Mayberry was a star. C Hank Fraley was a stud. RG Shawn Andrews had two unbelievable years. Jamaal Jackson was an elite center. Tackles Jason Peters, Winston Justice... even guard Todd Herremans was a good player.

I didn't even get to the best player! For most of his career McNabb had LT Tra Thomas on his blind side... a three time Pro Bowler!

Donovan McNabb's decision making skills are questionable enough when he has time to think... with a man in his face, when he's constantly eluding one pass rusher only to have another one in his face? He doesn't stand a chance.

His oline last year was HORRIBLE and he still put up good numbers.

Most of Campbell's numbers were after we were down by 3 touchdowns and they went to the prevent.

All I needed for a win was 4 points from Torrain. I now have to hate him.

I know. Jesus was throwing the ball and all.

Silly Kazoo. That's not even possible. This OLine is TRASH, save Williams, a rookie.

I have a terrible feeling we're gonna need that time-out, later.

Ball may have been sliding down his body before he went out of bounds. This one is worth the shot.

Yeah, I don't think he had control of it all the way through.

Just because you say it was the McNabb decision doesn't make it so either. It also makes no sense. QB's get benched all the time and teams actually don't fall apart over it, it's part of life as a football player

I agree, that was my point

Wait, how is that a catch?
