Nah, the Eagles defense as usual, won the game.

I like McNabb, though. This offense is badly put together. I think Rush was wrong, and wasn't really paying attention to the serious problems the Eagles offense has faced since preseason, with all the hold-outs.

McNabb is good, showed great potential and character in the course of his college and professional career. He just plays for a mediocre offensive team, poorly coached.

Rush stepped in it. I shed no tears.

A quarterback is as good as his coaching and support.

I think of Phil Simms, Bernie Testeverde and now Quincy Carter.

What were they like before Parcells?

You are still not getting the picture. Listen to the MEDIA. They are the ones lauding MCNabb. They have him on a pedestal about 10 feet higher than warranted. No one, especially Rush has said McN is a bad QB. Merely that he is given more credit than warranted by the MEDIA.

Fox proved it after the game.

People who say coaching doesn't matter are crazy!

Parcells took the same team that Dave Campo and Bruce Coslet messed up and has them believing in themselves.

The Cardinals aren't very good, but the Dallas defense simply dominated them today, and knocked Emmitt out of the game.

Parcells has Dallas talking about a .500 season, something unimagineable before he came aboard.

Bernie Testeverde

Didn't he play for the same college as Vinnie Kosar?

One of MacNabb's most serious limitations is that he basically can't throw a pass for under 20 yards flight-path. He throws most of those into the feet of the receiver, but it could go nearly anywhere.

Actually, the Eagles have no holdouts. I watched the game and McNabb is an average QB at best. The only problem with their offense is an average recieving corps. the offensive line is good. McNabb is not an acurate passer, but hey what do you want for 100 milion!

McNabb was totally inaccurate on passes over 5 yards all day. It reminded me of that arthritis drug commerical wherein the graying athlete is trying to throw the football through the tire hung from the tree. I think the arthritic guy was more accurate than was McNabb on Sunday.

The Eagles offense has been suspect for years and so has McNabb's QB play.
