And guess what Dala, I was always right about McNabb. Luckily for me, you got to experience it first hand this year, instead of forming opinions with little knowledge. As for the Eagles run, it was a lot more the Brian Dawkins / Jim Johnson era than it ever was the McNabb/Reid era.

Dala,

Theres a good chance I'm 6 feet deep by way of old age before Andy ever turns over the helm on sundays. As great of a coach he is throughout the week, he's equally as bad and redundant on sundays.

That said, I wouldnt trade him in for the world. (world being anyone not named Mike Tomlin ) Do i feel like ripping my hair out sometimes with some of his shtick? Hell yea. Cooler heads always prevail and i take the good with the bad. He is sooo underappreciated in ths city tht it disgusts me. I argue EVERYDAY with boneheads that wish to chime in on Garry Cobb's facebook page about the Eagles and how they need a change at head coach. I admit that some of his antics are stale, i.e. clock management, red zone efficiency, and utilization of the challenge flags. People must forget how bad we were before he took over.

My list:

1) Cowboy fans that are fans only bc they needed to identify themselves with a winner.
2) Lakers fans
3) see 1 and 2

Red Sox fans by a landslide.

Even though I'm a lifelong Steeler fan I have to admit Steeler Nation is starting to get obnoxious.

Penguin fans.

Yeah, I don't see how it's not New England fans just in general (including Red Sox, Celtics, and the very underrated in terms of annoyance Patriots fans).

Other than that, Bears fans are as a general rule pretty annoying.

Tom - and I thought we were friends.

Just for that I will be rooting for the Pack next weekend.

Is it possible, maybe, that Mcnabb's skills might have deteriorated and the player he was last year was not the player that the eagles had during their run? Maybe? I saw Mcnabb play just as much in Philly as I did over this past season. No doubt, he is not the same player.

Andy Reid has made the playoffs the last two years with no dawkins or johnson. The most amazing stat to me about Reid is that he is undefeated after a bye week. What does that say about a coach? They have been relevant for nearly his entire era. What were they before he got there? Every year they contend for the division title and every now and then they contend for a super bowl. He is the best coach Philly has had during the superbowl era.

McNabb's skills have been going downhill since the superbowl in 2004. He had many injuries, and is maybe 1/5th the player he was from 00-04. The thing is, he may be the most overrated QB of the past 20 years (along with Favre, but at least he won a superbowl).

The Eagles D is what made that team really good from 00-04.

Believe me, McNabb was the same QB for you as he was for the eagles since '05. Sure he had better stats, but his O-line was MUCH better.

He threw the ball into the ground non stop. Extremely inaccurate. He cant run a 2 minute drill and he absolutely sucks under pressure. If you are down in the 4th Q, never expect a comeback.

He is what I though he was.

Andy Reid's Early exits in the past two playoffs are nothing to mention as a good thing. Eagles collapsed late last year and in 09. Its really nothing to brag about.

Reid may be one of the best coaches out there as far as preparing his team to play. Thats why they are undefeated after the bye week. I think he's a great manager of football operations. But check him out on Sunday during the 3 hours when they play, and it is scary scary scary. He'd be a great coach if he ever decided to not throw the ball 70% of the time and get someone else for clock management / challenge flag thrower.

But you are very wrong about McNabb, he was the same guy this year as he was the past 5 years. It was highway robbery that we got the draft picks that we got for him. Unbelievable really. I read that Washington was the only team to offer a 2nd round pick for him. Other teams were offering 4th rounders.
