LOL

Were we watching the same game? He was terrible. I was at the game (as I am every home game) and our entire section groaned every time he one hopped the ball into the receiver...which was a lot. He throws a jump ball to Armstrong, gets 3 P-I's on the final drive and a ball throw to no one in particular caught by Armstrong to set up the game winning field goal.

I reiterate...Donovan is junk.

DM was not "on" his game today, but he made enough plays when they were needed, and he didn't do anything stupid to give the game away. In close games I believe that's how the vets win. They get the job done no matter how ugly they went about it....

Yeah, and who was that guy for Green Bay? Aaron something or other. Man, he was worse. Did you see how many passes he missed? What a joke! Bet they're regretting letting Brent Favre go, this new guy couldn't score more than 13 points on the league's 31st ranked defense!

You'd have thought he was the one playing with three back-ups on his offensive line.

Green Bay must hate that guy.

I guarantee every Packer fan in the world was worried every time we got the ball and were within one score because they had to stop an offense with McNabb at QB - and rightfully so.

did he steal your dog, or something?

Jump balls deep to a one on one matchup where the DB can't track the ball. Wake up son, in the NFL that's a great play.

What's really terrible is your memory/eyesight.

3 PIs? From the broadcast you would've seen that there were a few more. Did you miss all of those passes in the middle of the field that he snuck in? There were 26 completions, 13 for first downs, leading to more passing yards than Aaron Rodgers, and his only INT was a hailmary at the end of the game. Agreed, he was off today, but he still put together all that along with a W. As I asked on the other thread, name another QB that you think is much better, and from watching the games, I can find every criticism you have about them as well.

Peyton is the only QB that I think clearly stands above the rest, but as evidenced by today, he even goes conservative if he sees that he can get the win by throwing the ball away, not fitting it in when he doesn't have to, and throwing check downs. 26/44, 244 yds, 0 TDs, 1 INT. Man, that Peyton guy sucks!

McNabb, in my opinion didn't play well in the first quarter, but played pretty well the rest of the game. You also have to remember that he was knocked down or sacked on what seemed to be every play. But it's the little things that he does that keep us in the game, like a sack he took in the 4th, he got whipped around and the ball was in one hand, and I thought for sure he was going to fumble the ball, but he held on. Or what about avoiding a couple and getting the ball away.

The balls in the dirt, I'm not too upset about. It was the couple open receivers that he missed in the first quarter that started getting me pissed, but I always tell myself, Donovan will always have one bad quarter a game, and the other three are pretty darn good.

No. That was the other former Eagles starting QB.

Wahoo is 100% correct...
I think we should go back to what we had...
Really Jason is doing great as a back up in Oakland, and Collins had a starting gig this weekend. Colt got to hold on a FG attempt last week.

What da hell was Bruce Allen thinking?

Let us know what it's like rooting for the Beagles

What section were you sitting in? The Tea Party Section? Was Rush Limbaugh doing play by play too?

Donovan's MO is that he will miss passes low when he's pressured. Some guys throw errant passes that get intercepted, or just hack them out of bounds....Donovan puts them where nobody can get them...literally. Instead of railing on the best QB we've seen in YEARS...we need to block better.

He had an "OFF" game and 1) threw for 357 yards, 2) lead the Skins to a win over the Packers. Yet, some of you will always call him junk. Have a nice train ride to Philly. Enjoy those cheese steaks with a side of Hate Sauce.

I guess you're just going to ride this horse into the sunset. OK . . . I don't recommend it, but . . . let us know how that goes.

Wahoo also said during a thread that Donovan is the worst, and I will say again the WORST acquisition this team has ever brought on.

Look Wahoo, if he didn't sign your football at training camp it was probably because he was busy. No need to hate the guy while he is winning games for us. When I say "us" btw I am not including you, I would never do that to an Eagles fan.

I get frustrated with McNabb's inaccuracy at times. BUT, I love his leadership and I love his "CLUTCHNESS"

I think when you have McNabb as your QB, it is best to strap yourself in and get ready for the roller coaster ride, that is how these games will be. But, unlike previous QB's we've had, McNabb has a better knack for winning. Let's just embrace it.

Exactly, DM's play has been a roller coaster ride his entire career, but I agree, he gives us a much better chance of winning than did any of the QBs we've had under center over the last few years...

Now the only question is... will we extend our new leader and best qb in ages.

I would say a nice little 4 year deal should be a no brainer.

In the 4th Quarter and Overtime, McNabb went 12 for 12 for 183 yards passing.

Of course the haters wouldn't know that because they were soo anxious to start hating, they had already cut him from the team in the first half.

Damn, we won. We shouldn't have so much dissention after a win like this!

If we still had Campbell yesterday, we would have been blown out as he would have fumbled the ball on every sack that he took. Not to mention the absence of a fourth quarter comeback that he was never able to do for us. McNabb is a huge reason why we are 3-2. He did have some bad passes in the game, but he was able to overcome them and lead us to victory.

Who is hating besides Wahoo??? I haven't heard anyone saying that DMc was a bad move.

I thought that it was obvious that DMc had a very good game and we finally saw, after close to a decade what true "leadership" is. He lead us to the win. Sure, our defense played well, but we needed to score in the 4th and we did.

The real question, however, is the reason we won because Matthews was hurt or did we win because of DMc? I have no idea, and I am guessing a little of both -- but it is nice to finally have a QB that isn't a liability.

Wahoo has.

but it is nice to finally have a QB that isn't a liability.

McNabb is more than "not a liability," though (talk about damning praise). I know you probably agree with me that he's a big positive for the team, but there are several posters on the board who don't grant that much.
