Do you think the color of the throwback uniforms made it easier to find open receivers downfield? Just curious. Looking forward to Sunday night at the Meadowlands under the lights! I'm gald you lost the knee brace too.

D.... MAC.....

You showed the world "a little bit more" for sure last week. I was at the game and I truly feel that is was the most exhiliarating experience of my 24 years here in this world. I've been to 4 games at the Linc now, and we are luckily 4-0.

Your vision was on-point, your accuracy was perfect, and I know this is just the beginning of an "explosion". (Like my quotables?)

The Giants D is under Steve's control now, but we both know it is weak. Please pick on that rookie they are touting, Aaron Ross. I assume he'll be on Kevin because of his speed. I know you want to get Reggie involved more too. Most of all, I love seeing B-West get his touches. I hope he's able to play without injuring himself further because we all know that January is when we'll need him most, to pound the rock and drain teams.

I am shaking as I write this thinking about Sunday night. Just be you, and I'll see you in Arizona my friend.

Your performance against the Lions was an inspiration, and I wanted to wish you well this week in the Meadow lands. I'll be watching intently, and I hope to see a cohesive effort. One of the reasons I love this team is how well you all seem to band together through adversity, and that's a quality we can all admire as fans. Go Eagles!! (and as strange as it may be this time of year, go Phillies!)

Thanks for the great throwback game #5 !!! I've been loving the highlights all week, as the Detroit Lions did not get one of the "10" wins here in Philly. In the NFL the team talking the most trash usually looses. It was a breathe of fresh air to see Curtis step up and make some highlights which will hopefully now give Reggie Brown an opportunity to keep defenses guessing. I'm glad you mentioned the 95 rivalry because I have to deal with Giants fans on a somewhat regular basis. The Turnpike is just a toll booth, and it ain't NY yet, so consider it neutral ground. The Jets still share a stadium and so you have back to back games up there, I could really use the braggin rights of 2 straight wins in the meadowlands! Good luck and I hope to see you flex the focus on the NJ teams. There is no Giant!

You're the man, Five. It was downright amazing to see the way you exploited the Lions defense last week. It's a little scary to have somebody that knows this team so well as the Giants d-coordinator but I think you should be able to blow up there too.
I hope Westbrook is able to play and help you out but Buck has shown a little flash out there if he gets the opportunity instead. After Mr. Curtis made his home downfield last week, let's see Reggie B get his work underneath in this one.
Keep at it, Five.

Just play how you know how. Keep that knee safe and dont try to be a hero. We still need you for another 10 years. You and Westbrook should be assigned to a padded room during the week, damn practice, we're talking about practice, not the game, but practice. lol. Just a little reference to my boy AI. Anyway, keep doing what you do. I truly appreciate the fact that you post here and blog. Keep it up. Handle yours.

Donovan,
I've been a huge Eagles fan since I was a little kid. Last year I finally got to see the Eagles play for the first time in my life (I'm 33 now) here in Tampa Bay and despite that lucky field goal and the loss I had an awesome time watching you guys come back in the 2nd half vs. the Bucs.
This past Saturday I flew up to Philly to watch you guys play against the Lions on Sunday for my very first home Eagles game. I can't tell you how excited I was to be there and watching you guys execute almost perfectly was amazing. The atmosphere was electrifying, the weather was perfect, the fans were loud, and I really felt I was in heaven LOL. Singing the Eagles fight song over and over again was unforgettable! Thank you for your outstanding effort! I will NEVER forget that game.

Meanwhile, I didn't get the chance to comment on your last blog, but without beating a dead horse, thank you for being who you are. Thank you for being honest and speaking your mind. A lot of us are cowards and don't speak up, but you do when you feel it is appropriate. You are a catalyst for change.
You are a great leader.

Best of luck Sunday night to you and your teammates against the "G-men!" There's lots of Eagles fans down here in Tampa Bay and as usual we'll be cheering you guys on! The fan club down here is known as Tampadelphia, you've probably heard of them. tampadelphia.com
E-A-G-L-E-S EAGLES!

Best of luck to you and the team this weekend against the Gi-ants! Westbrook is AMAZING!! I wish you the best and will be watching, cheering you on to VICTORY! Forget the HBO deal. It's in the past and it was a joke from the start, I payed it no attention, at all!! Philadelphia sports, in general, don't get the credit or attention they deserve! I have seen it first hand, ESPN is a perfect example. I truely appreciate you taking the time to communicate with your fans and want you to know I am blown away by your professionalism, dignity, and class. Congrats on the record settings (2 games in a row)!! 100 game starts and then last weekend, the 20th over 300 yard record!! Awesome, way to go!! Let the haters be what they are. Your true fans see who you are and what you can do, and despite all the negative, you still hold your head high and smile, never giving in to them. I LOVE IT!! NEVER let them get you down!! You are truely an AWESOME QB and an amazing person. Keep up the faith!! God love ya!! You are a true inspiration to me, and not just myself, but many!! Take care and God Bless! Go Eagles!!!

You are awesome Donovan. We will always be voting for you. I will be watching the game. It's a late game so I will actually get to see it this time. I can't wait to see all of you play against the giants Sunday. I know you all will do great. I hope this game is as exciting as the last one. I didn't get to see it on t.v. because I live in md. I did listen to it though and saw some plays in between games, I loved it. The uniforms though we're really bright, but what ever works. Keep up the good work. Go Eagles!!!!!

2 weeks ago Charles Barkley commentated at the game and said, "Donovan McNabb has done great things for this Eagles team." That is true, to a degree. It's a team effort, and your team is only as good as your Quarterback. But we the fans don't want to hear what he HAS DONE for the team; we want to know what he is GOING TO DO NOW for the team. Ever since Donovan got hurt years ago he is afraid to run the ball. The Eagles made a wrong move by letting go of Jeff Garcia to Tampa; if it weren't for Garcia the Eagles would never have made the playoffs last year. Last nights game against the Giants was pathetic on both sides, but his isn't a Eli Manning website. The real problem is that these athletes make all this money and don't want to play or they are scared to get hurt. Well you know what it comes with the territory. There's an old adage that says, " If you can't stand the heat, get out of the kitchen." Time for Philadelphia to let Donovan go. The NFL should listen to the fans; because we pay your salaries.

Donavan,
I attended Syracuse, so I am a big fan of yours and supporter despite you being a Eagle, and me being a Giants fan. Just want to say I never thought highly of your recievers, and it looks like Steve Spagnuola does not think highly of your recievers either.The Giant's were in pressed coverage the entire night, and it looked like he brought the house most of the night. I think it's sad that you cannot get the supporting cast, like Peyton has and Carson Palmer. Also I am shocked that Reid didn't help Winston Justice with Osi, especially since your returning from a knee injury. What lesson was Reid trying to teach Winston from that experience other than he might need to make a career change? Also please show this message to your recievers, maybe they can get some motivation and get seperation since everyone thinks they stink! Its being advertised every time your on TV and they still stink!
Good Luck

Tough loss....
I usually never make postings, or make calls in to the stations, or anything like that. But, I'm really impressed with the post game video of Winston Justice on the Eagles website. He accepted full responsibilty, and deflected a question about issues the O-line had. Instead, he said he "felt the other four" played well. It's also good to see defensive players stick up for the "O", and every player questioned (including you 5) accept responsibility. These are the Eagles I remember from 01, 02, and 03 that got to NFC Championships with teamwork, focus, accountability, and a game by game approach. I know the 04 team got to the SB, but that team was different......
Now, you have to remeber what you used to be......hard workers, where backups stepped in when injuries happened and where coaches/veterans did a better job of keeping everyones' focus after tough losses. 1-3 is probably very difficult to overcome, but now is the time to focus on the next game and the next game only.

I think it was Andy Reid who said this after the Detroit win... "Things are never as good as them and they're never as bad as they seem" or something along those lines. I just keep that in mind after last night's game. It's my new mantra, I suppose.

DDB18940 said October 01, 2007

Although I typically tend to look at game situations through rose colored glasses, thinking of yesterday's debacle makes me physically ill... Was the coaching staff asleep at the switch, or did they enjoy watching Donovan get the crap kicked outta him??? WHY weren't effective course corrections made??? WHY wasn't Justice given the help he needed??? WHY did the coaching staff (and owner) continue to allow Donovan to be battered time and time again??????? So many "whys" and so little time... Yesterday's coaching was inept and shameful. Our players deserve better!!! My heart aches for the team -- especially Donovan...

bloodbrother said October 02, 2007

Man Wiston Justice has gotta feel like the worst person in the world. He just got manhandled out there by Osi. I can't believe Ried left him hanging out there and didn't bring in anyone to help him. He got beat like a drum.

iLL_one77 said October 02, 2007

sad, dissapointed, disgusted, and completely shocked at how this offense went from the best to not even being able to score one touchdown. And its not like i can pin-point one reason why! I wish i could! But im sorry to say D-mac you are not the same. You just cant rely on rolling out to avoid the rush anymore. You have put the ball up and make these WRs fight for the ball. But the problem with that is we dont have WRs that can do that. You have to get in andys face and tell him to get you a couple WRs thats can. Matt Jones could be on the trade block, hes 6'6 has 4.3 speed and a vert. of 39in. and thats the kind of WR you need. Its almost time for changes!

Tough, tough loss Donovan. I find myself frustrated with Coach Andy Reid and I would love to hear your thoughts about it.

There was a desperate need for Andy to make an adjustment to help protect you against the penetration on Winston Justice's side, that as far as I can tell was never addressed. I have trouble understanding why Osi Umenyiora couldn't be doubled up against, or at least a Tight End there just to chip him.

And of course, one of the best ways to reduce Quarterback pressure is to run the ball. It was clearly obvious that Correll was having a great deal of success running the ball against the Giants.... averaging 7yds per carry... so why would Andy still tip the scales heavily towards the pass?

If you could share some of your insights on these issues Donovan, it would that be terrific. Because I am totally perplexed...

  Hey Director I agree with you 100%.....Reid does not have the pulse of this team anymore..He is not putting players in a postions to succeed. Why not put Herramans @ left takle? He did used to play that position right. Then Gean-Gilles could have been put at the left guard. He did play a lot against detroit. What do you think?

Don do you think that you guys should start the Bigger receivers on the outside? I think Avant and Baskett will do better against JAM coverage. Tell me what YOU think..you would know best.

if you watch pro football you will see some of the worse quarterbacks in years.
if d. mcnabb goes on the block i guarantee you that every team in the nfl would be interested.
d.m. is still in the top 5 quarterbacks in the nfl.
think of last year--brett farve--he was retired and the fans were thrilled--now he is mvp
give donovan a break he is our quarterback today and as long as he can play.
