<<Something is wrong big in Philly and I hate to say it but since McNabb got his big contract this team has not been the same.>> Can't buy that, McNabb has played great games since that contract.
And last year we went through a "where the hell is the offense" for weeks at a time.
Dungy is defensive genius and he had McNabb at a loss and Reid had no answer or advice to give McNabb.
I will NEVER point my finger at McNabb , the guy wants to win.
As for McNabb not running when routes were open i have to see the tape , and i did not tape this disaster.
Did he have the time to see a route, was his head getting messed by not knowing what Dungy was working on him, did Dungy have a player lurking regularly to sucker McNabb to think there was a route, and then ring McNabb's bell,and McNabb saw that???
Bottomline, in my view, Dungy had a master plan, and Reid was totally and embarassingly out-coached--i have grave doubts he has the leadership capacity or offensive acumen to get this team consistent.
The offensive line can fail because their blocking assignments suck for what the defense is doing.
In the end, this goes to the coaching staff,imo.
Also, we do not want a team that only wins when the QB runs.
That is TOO much to ask of a QB.
As for the defense Mike, it also SUCKED, big time. Over 100yards to an unknown in the first half--MAJOR FAILURE on the defense. A failure so bad that the game was LOST by halftime.
It was a team effort Mike, they plain sucked from the top, the coaching staff on down, and, in my view, the defense sucked also.
I give the game ball to Tony Dungy. Max

I respect that Reid is forthright and honest <<This was a breakdown in all facets of the game,'' Eagles coach Andy Reid said. ``We did not come out and play with emotion and that is my fault.'' But what's the answer, hey Reid sign me up as motivational consultant! (VBG)(i could do it, though:) I hate to say it Mike, but if you BELIEVE you got the team to be champs a leader can get that message to his team; dammit i feel so frustrated. Max

Mike i didn't see the play McNabb fell down, i would love to see the replay. Did he trip on his feet or was it exhaustion/dizziness, i do worry that McNabb has had these vomiting episodes--- when you see what he did running in the past few games you also see he is pressing the limits of his body.( his body weight is a part of it, when he sprints and runs back and forth he is carrying the weight of a big man.)
