The Eagles have officially entered what is referred to as a "dark period." After a first half equivalent of chris clancy at QB, andy reid benched mcnabb.. Fucking benched him in the middle of what was a season defining game against one of the best defenses in the nfl... In their house.. I was immediately torn between a loyalty to the guy who's become a punchin bag for the city of Philadelphia and the need for a shakeup, better yet a gut check for a team playing with "blue balls."-
The end result was a disaster. Haltime 10-7 end of 4th 36-7.. Ouch. Kevin Kolb sucked bigtime. I was looking for a reason to buy into the move but never got one. He played how I would imagine carrie underwood would play if she was in the nfl. What exactly went into the decision to sit the face of the Eagles in the middle of such a pivitol game? Did Donavon make a move on his wife? Make a fat joke? Shit I hope there was something more than a bad half of football. And now that there's proof that the issues run deeper than QB will he be back on thurs against the cards? Maybe he'll bench the offensive coordinator instead.. That all said I'm an eagles fan thru thick and thin and ill be back in front of the tv thursday night (hopefully rooting for Mcnabb)I get the fact that outside of a miracle this season is done and it might be a minute until the Eagles are back in contention. I have a feeling Mcnabb and Reid won't be here next year.. dawkins will most likely be gone as well. For now I go into week to week mode with each game being my own mini superbowl.. If that doesn't work there's always madden 09 where I can always win.
