Dee Dee Dee - McNabb's At It Again.


I'm so glad that I was still fighting off this virus that I've had for the last couple of days. For, you see, the Eagles played the Bengals yesterday. Yeah, it was supposed to be a tight match-up, but the Eagles were favored to win by the guidance of Donovan McNabb.

Or should I say McBadd?

You know, I would have thought that the sight of the Philadelphia Phillies getting their own parade down Market Street a couple of weeks ago (and the belief that, yes, William Penn isn't truly a curse after all) would inspire the Eagles to do better. Clearly both the Sixers and the Flyers are starting to turn themselves around after a disappointing start to both their respective seasons. Yet Andy Reid, the bumbling oaf who continues to not only coach this team but act as their vice president as well, and Donovan McNabb, almost imitating Ryan Leaf in the last couple of weeks, continue to set new precedence each and every week.

Week 11 was no exception. Clearly both the offense and defense are two different teams. The Eagles defense continues to look amazing. Granted, they weren't impressive against the highly-skilled Giants (who, I will admit it, are indeed a very well-rounded team), but they made the Bengals work for their 13 measly points. Their numbers were staggering - 56 total tackles, 8 sacks, 2 forced fumbles. The defense is playing like a team who has only lost one game.

Same can't be said for the lousy offense. I'm going to leave out Brian Westbrook, Correll Buckhalter, and the entire receiving corps - they work their asses off trying to get some of these lame passes and are only frustrated. No, aside from wagging my finger at the spokesman for overweight jerkoffs everywhere (I mean Andy Reid - NOT David Anderson), I blame Donovan McNabb.

What the fuck is wrong with him? He can throw too high, too low, too short, or too far and he still grimaces after every pass, patting his chest boldly and saying "My bad." Dude - you've been pulling this shit for weeks. Months. YEARS. After all this time, you think you'd realize that if your mangled feet were in tempo with the game you'd be having a QB passer rating 85 or above every fucking game. Instead you give us stats that make you look worse than any C-rate quarterback - 1 touchdown, 3 interceptions (and nearly a 4th in fucking overtime), and 2 sacks. Pitiful. Dreadful.

And the icing on the cake? He didn't know you could tie a game.

I have no words for either Reid or McNabb. I'm stunned really. If Jeff Lurie had his mouth out of Andy Reid's buttcheeks he'd give both of them a big ultimatum - get your shit together or get the fuck out. Reid is totally incompetent and McNabb isn't fairing any better. I mean, Christ, do what the Phillies did. Spend some money, get some great fucking talent in here for the offense, and run everyone the fuck over. This is unacceptable for a team that has taken risks before. Andy Reid takes a risk chowing down on a Five Guys burger everyday, yet he's still alive.

Maybe if Donovan took it up the tailpipe like a fucking man and accept the criticism that's dogging him - maybe he'd be a better athlete. At this point, I'm more than disappointed. I'm moving on to the Flyers and Sixers on a full time basis.
