that makes no sense the eagles got beat 8 times so far. thats the sad truth. westbrook is basically the only reason they won five games. giants scored just as many points this time as last time but the eagles scored a TD in this game, guess who put those extra 7 points on the board? without westbrook it would have been 16-3 again, maybe not even, maybe the eagles wouldnt have got either FG yesterday.

westbrook=90% of the eagles offense.

I look at a lot of things from a players perspective. you and most people try to sound like some educated fan. The Eagles every week are one play and a few mistakes from beating every team they face. Yes, good teams find a way to win games, but the eagles are frustratingly close. Without Westbrook? he's on the team asshole he play's for the Eagles. Without Plaxico you guys wouldn't have 7 points. that makes no sense. If your a Giants fan, I'm sorry but your team is highly overrated and will be no threat in the NFC playoffs.

The receivers aren't creating great seperation, but there are windows and opportunites for McNabb to deliever an accurate ball. your talking about Greg Lewis

those windows would close before the ball left McNabb's hand. And yes I mentioned a Lewis pass but was talking about the reciever's effort to get to the ball. The Eagles don't have recievers who fight for balls in the air, except maybe Curtis but he's been inconsistent this year.

yes, we lack a playmaker at wideout (which better be a position pursued in the offseason) but McNabb in the past would succeed with average talent at wide reciever.Defend McNabb all you want..... It's obvious these injuries got the best of em'. I always liked McNabb, and it's unfortunate how his once promising career turned out the way it did.

he's the winningest qb in the eagles history...
and sure he never won the big game, but he's been to a superbowl and how many nfc championship games?? you talk as if he became some no-name qb that no one has ever heard of! plus his career isn't over!

i'll never forget the reaction by some of those eagle fans at the 1999 nfl draft when mcnabb was drafted. they all wanted ricky williams and all hell broke loose when they went with mcnabb.

that's all the WIP zombies who follow whatever the idiots on that station say without having one ounce of facts or knowledge to back it up. McNabb was what the Eagles needed and I'm that drafted him.

The three headed monster of Bobby Hoying, Koy Detmer and a broken down Rodney Peete.

Ricky Williams was the best running back in the history of college football at the time. Don't sit there and say you knew how it was gonna turn out. McNabb and Andy were promised one more year, If things don't change no question there both gone after next season. But honestly I think it's one year to late.

tight end is killing us this year too. LJ being unhealthy and moody because he has no contract next year has killed this offense as well. in the west coast offense the tight end is usually a big weapon but we've gotten almost nothing out of that position this year.

Problem was that the Eagles didn't need a running back, they needed a QB. That's why McNabb was the best choice for this organization. As for one more year, that's probably what Kolb will need to be ready to take the field. He is not an NFL QB right now and I don't think he will be by the time the season starts next year. That said, McNabb probably will be traded in the offseason and we'll have AJ and Kolb as your QBs next season. Hello bottom of NFC East next year.

Yes the TE position has been a huge disappointment this season. We'll have to see how much faith the team has in Celek over the next couple of weeks.

That may be the case, but the Eagles already had a RB, Duce Staley ran for over a thousand yards the year before McNabb was drafted and the Eagles still had Charlie Garner at the time.

RB was not a priority that year. QB was.

I knew we needed a QB, I was just making a case for the crazies at the draft. really can't blame them for wanting the best player available. Just thank God we didn't draft Couch, Akili Smith, or even Culpepper. That would have set the franchise back another 5 years.

The thing is the Phillies already knew how crazy Williams was. He was a Phillies farm product back when he was in college. I'm sure considering all of the research staffs undertake before drafting someone that someone from the Eagles went down the hallway at the Vet and asked one of the Phillies scouting directors what Williams' makeup was.

And would he really have helped when you would have been either starting Bobby Hoying who came off a stellar 0 TD and 9 INT season or Koy Detmer every game or the guy Andy brought in - Doug Pederson?

Just because WIP and Rendell and the Daily News wanted Williams, last I checked none worked for the Eagles.

alot of teams are a few points, few mistakes short of wins. look at miami. and plaxico did score some points but what i was saying was the eagles cant seem to win without westbrook. giants have won games this year without plaxico being the star in every game. if the eagles had balance like they did when garcia was in last year this wouldnt be an issue. granted eagles have put more run plays in but instead of throwing screens to westbrook they just hand it to him.

without mcnabb the eagles struggle on by, same with just about every player on the team. take westbrook out its gameover before the coin toss.

im not even bashing mcnabb or the recievers im just saying try to mess with the defense, dont let them know westbrook will get the ball. eagles defense is pretty good at mixing it up. i just understand why the offense is so onesided and boring.

it was the same when owens was there, every pass was to owens. whats the deal with having only one player?
