McNabb: 9-23 for 64 yards, 1 interception (whole team was 34 yards passing, don't understand difference). Bailed out for the second week in the past 3 by defense and special teams.

Third straight absolutely awful performance by McNabb. Nobody dares mention the elephant in the room (McNabb, is way overrated).

Rush was right for the third week in a row, not because McNabb sucked, but because, as usual, NO ONE will say so.

From out of the blue, McNabb is claiming an injury is holding him back. He hurt is wittle hand.

[denydenydeny]

29.1 quarterback rating today for McNabb.

[Falcon4.0]

Did you notice how the commentators were trying to say that, although McNabb isn't doing so good, it's not really his fault?

[Reagan Man]

The Giants suck and will go nowhere, as long as Jim Fassal is the head coach. And that comes from a 43 year Giants fan.

Rush was right about McNabb. Purely as a QB, McNabb has been overrated since he first joined the Eagles.

McNabb: 9-23 for 64 yards, 1 interception (whole team was 34 yards passing, don't understand difference).

I read 47 net yards passing - yards lost because of QB sacks (-17 in today's game) are substracted from the total.

[NittanyLion]

McNabb is overrated. No question about it.

That said, Go Eagles! (This one was never in doubt. I knew the Birds had it in the bag...)

[MeekOneGOP]

Good point !

Conway got New York on the board with a 39-yard field goal into the wind that just cleared the crossbar. Cornerback Will Allen set up the score by intercepting a third-down pass by McNabb at the Eagles 29.

McNabb finished 9-of-23 for 64 yards.

back to eib, that is ! ...

It was much like the feeling 25 years ago when quarterback Joe Piscarik fumbled as the Giants were running out the clock. Herman Edwards picked up the ball to give Philadelphia an unexpected win.

I remember that game well. I was watching the game with my father (both Iggles fans). With only seconds left to play, I got up to change the station (we didn't have remote control in those days!) when my father said "wait...leave it on....it's not over yet!" I told him that Pisarchek would just take a knee, and run out the clock. Instead, for whatever reason, he tried to hand the ball off to Larry Cszonka. The ball was fumbled and scooped up by Herman Edwards (the current Jets coach) who ran the ball in for the touchdown in what became known as "The Miracle of The Meadowlands".

If anyone else had the numbers that McNabb had they would lose their starting job. Sixty four effing yards? I have heard excuse after excuse offered about why McNabb is playing awful; from his hurt thumb (BTW - Steve McNair has a broken finger, but he leads the league), its the wide recievers fault, or the coaches play calling. Its about time someone pointed out that Rush was right.

[capydick]

I was at the game with my family and, I got a taste of what its like to be a Red Sox fan. We just KNEW something was going to happen to blow the game, we just knew it. Unfortunately, we were right.

Yes, and it's fun watching the Phillie pundits twist themselves into pretzels to avoid criticizing McNabb. I don't know what McNabb is, but I know what he isn't: a hundred and fifteen million dollars.

Not so.  The Fox after-game show said the Iggle passing game was awful.

[ambrose]

haha. McNabb DOES suck.

[GO65]

Rush was right for the third week in a row, not because McNabb sucked, but because, as usual, NO ONE will say so.

There have been reports that he has been bothered by a nagging thumb injury.

[Loyal Buckeye]

I think he might be Rush-ing his throws. ;-)

[GeronL]

How does a special teams TD make McNabb look better? He wasn't on the field!!

[auboy]

It looked to me that the refs missed a "blocking in the back" call on the punt return. I didn't have a dog in this fight, just saying how it looked to me.

[ghost of nixon]

McNabb wasn't really that great in college. I admit I was surprised at the success he did have his first few years as a starter in the NFL. Maybe the slump he is in now is making up for the inexplicable success he had the last few years - at any rate, I will have to go with Rush on this one.

[TrappedInLiberalHell]

The great irony of the Rush controversy is that the media is now doing even more of (or at the very least, exactly what) Rush was saying they were doing: Overhyping McNabb because they want to see a black QB do well.

If the media thought they would be held to any kind of journalistic standard, they would be bending over backwards to be objective about McNabb.
