"Apparently, some of the players were a tad surprised at the lack of a hurry-up offense at the end of the game. Tens of thousands of Eagle fans were screaming at their TVs, "HURRY UP!!!", but McNabb and the Eagles looked like they were lollygagging their way up to the line.

And then, with a couple of plays left in the game and a bomb needed, McNabb, from the end zone, throws a five-yarder to Westbrook. Tic... tic... tic... went the clock. Un-frigging-believable."

Hear ya...

McNabb's situational game-presense is decidedly lacking.

As "Field General," the QB has GOT to make the proper adjustments and assessments with respect to time management.

Ain't NO way Joe Montana or Favre with precious moments ticking off the clock are lackadaisically calling a play in the huddle, or attempting to complete a 2-yarder in the middle of the field. They're instinctively going No-Huddle.

Not if they've got a concussion, particularly a bad one. Your head spins, its difficult to concentrate, and you feel like puking. I'm sure McNabb was hoping his head would clear, and it just didn't. If you want to blame him for anything, blame him for not taking himself out of the game.

Actually, one of his teammates should have said something to Reid. But maybe they thought that, concussed or not, McNabb gave them their best chance to win.
