Well, at least we found us a quarterback. Please tell me McNabb does not start next week.

Plz tell me McNabb is cut tomorrow. Did Reid seriously not run the ball on 2nd and 5 from the 30 yard line? Why god why?

You can't play ABC football all the time. Don't you think the D is expecting a run here like 85% of the time? I'm not saying the shot at the end-zone was the best play there, but sometimes you call plays to surprise the D, even if it's a higher-risk play.

Because it's against the Pats, he's probably also going for the win here, as opposed to the tie. You gotta throw your testicles out there and put them on the line if you want to beat a healthy team that is destroying everybody.

Everyone seems to forget that regardless of the play AJ still has the option not to throw the ball. Maybe its not an optimal play, Feely should realize that the play is covered and look elsewhere. Hopefully finding the wide open Lewis for an easy completion over the middle.

Of course. But his complaint was the Reid didn't run the ball, not that Feeley passed the ball. Certainly it was a terrible throw, that is not questionable.

One that McNabb would be getting absolutely shredded for if he had thrown it. Specifically by some of the same people slurping AJ's sack in this thread.

If you're implying that we're biased against McNabb, you're wrong. I've been a huge supporter of his throughout his career (look up my posts last year and earlier this year if you don't believe me). But in my eyes, there is no denying that he is very much responsible for our struggles this year (whether due to injury or decline) and that in general, Feeley is a more accurate QB (though that's obviously not the only factor). Yes, that pick was a poor decision, but it doesn't override the fact his completion percentage against one of the best defenses in the league was lower than only two games of McNabb's this year, and that he simply looked more poised and effective in the pocket.

Yeah, unfortunately McNabb will start if he is healthy.
