The knives are out for McNabb. It started last week with Howard Eskin saying that Kevin Kolb would take over next year.
You know that word is coming from the NovaCare Center. They're getting the Delaware Valley ready for the change.
Now you've got Dave Spadaro of PhiladelphiaEagles.com placing all of the Eagles problems at the feet of Donovan McNabb.
A lot of the players have lost their confidence in Andy Reid. There's questioning of his decisions going on right on the sidelines during the games.
You've got an NFL team which ran the ball only 22 times in five quarters of football. 22 times in five quarters of football against the Cincinnati Bengals with Dhani Jones as their middle linebacker.
The Eagles have the biggest offensive line in the league yet can't run the ball to save their lives.
McNabb played poorly and should be called on the carpe,t but it's not only him.
He didn't point the finger at the Eagles offensive line which can't run block at all.
Of course he's not the one who can't block or run for one yard on third down. Let me say again that they've got the biggest offensive line in the league. Two years ago this same offensive line dominated. What has happpen?
He's not the one who missed blocks and couldn't run the ball into the end zone versus the Chicago Bears.
He's not the one who missed blocks and got stopped on consecutive plays against the Giants to end the Birds chances of winning.
Spadaro says McNabb is at a crossroads. Is Westbrook having a good year? Are we sure his body can take more of the battering of the NFL? When he comes back next year, can we be confident that he will be healthy?
Is this an NFL offensive line? How could you be confident in an offensive line which can't block for a runner to get a yard?
With this poor running game we have, if you take away McNabb what will the offense look like?
Get ready for this team to struggle for a while. I think if they get rid of McNabb, Reid should be out the door with him.
Spadaro was right to go after McNabb but he should also go after Reid, but the big guy is his boss. If you're going to go after one of them, you should go after both of them. They're both just as guilty.
