Was it McNabb or Reid?

The Eagles have now had two top tier quarterbacks McNabb and now Vick, and they still can't win it all. So is it Andy Reid's fault ?

You mean Kolb didn't lead them to the Super Bowl?

It's nobody's fault - I think that Kolb is the better fit at QB but I'm sure that most Eagles fans would not agree with that - I thought that the Eagles made a mistake in letting McNabb go - I'm sure that most NFL fans don't agree with that either - I like QBs that make their offense better by utilizing all facets not just their own skills

ANYWAY - It's not any one person's fault - the Eagles were not playing really good football at the end of the season and the Packers were - end of story

I was thinking the same thing! Reid was something like 7-1 in the wildcard round and the year he dumps McNabb he adds to the L column. I'd love to see what the local press up there is saying. I bet they're howling about how they backed the wrong horse.

Hopefully they cut Aikers and we can get him for cheap! His six points would have won the game for them.

I went from cussing to giggling last night. Cussing when the refs gave them a "do-over" on the two-point conversion (because Philly had committed a penalty?) and when they gave them a fourth time-out instead of a 10-second run off.

They said it was because the "pass was incomplete." So the clock stopped anyway but as far as I knew, the play-clock doesn't stop and if he can't get off the field or line up in 40-seconds it's delay-of-game, five yards and a runoff.

The do-over struck me as odd since it was Philly who committed the penalty. I was surprised they didn't call vick for intentional grounding on the next chance and give them a second do-over.

I giggled when he got picked by the Pack and they lost in spite of the help by the referees!

It's amazing how close it was - when Vick let the ball go and it looked like the receiver might be just behind the defender, for a split second I thought he might have pulled it off again :roll:

not sure Akers is going to be let go though - you have to keep guys as good as he is until they can't kick anymore - he's still a very good kicker

The do over was the better option. The conversion was good if GB declines the penalty.
