A few Andre Waters type safety blitzes from a guy who knows how to hit would have knocked McNabb into a fetal posed, trembling scaredy-girl. Instead, they treated McNabb to "observe but don't touch status".They sacked him, what, eight times? Nine times? Don't touch, indeed.
You can't knock McNabb into anything but a grin. He's the toughest, strongest QB in the NFL, bar none.
Last year he broke his leg in the first quarter of a game. He finished that game with the best numbers of his career.

Now there's a highly coachable player!

Having the unique opportunity to be a resident fan of the Eagles and Packers, I can tell you that the only reason they sacked McNabb is that they let him stand there long enough for SEPTA to pick him up. At that, any sack was because they would only go after him if he had pursuit on all three directions. That is not how you play football. That's a spectator sport. McNabb had such little rush in that game that his recievers running routes had as many as three on the same play!
The Packers beat the Packers. The Eagles and McNabb played a minor role in their own victory.
The packers were coached worse than Buddy Ryan's fog bowl fiasco.
And oh yeah, it's tough to tackle anyone above the fourth grade with one arm and no shoulder. The tackling in the NFL has become so pathetic, particularly that of linebackers(with the possible exception of Zach Thomas) that it's just disgusting.
Good luck to the Eagles in the next round. They are going to need it and I'd like to see them in the superbowl just to see Rush get his ribbing.
