McNabb is the only reason why the Eagles were competetive in the beginning of the season. Had he not been around, you guys would have been in last place a long time ago. When things go wrong with a team like the Eagles this year, or the 2002 Raiders after they lost the Superbowl, people are very eager to point fingers at the head coach. True, he has a responsibility to keep the team in check and get it done on Sunday. But come on, T.O. has killed this Eagles team ever since his comments after the Superbowl, just like he killed the 49ers the last couple of years he was there.

McNabb stunk up the field in the Atlanta, Dallas, Denver, San Diego, Washington games, and the 1st half of the Kansas City game. They were NEVER competetive this season. Yeah, ME.O divided the locker room, but Reid did nothing to stop it until it was too late. Also one of the reasons ME.O. was able to do it, is because of Reids past treatment of players. As for our performance in past seasons, we were actually to 4 straight NFC Championship games and 1 Superbowl. We only won one Conference Championship. The Superbowl loss and the some of the NFC Championship game losses can be blamed on Reid being out coached and not knowing how to run a 2 minute offence. I believe the only reason the Eagles have had so much success is because in the last several years they have played in a weak division in a weak conference. If they had played in the AFC for the past five year, they would not have gotten anywhere near close to the Superbowl. I am sick and tired of watching Reid make the same dumb mistakes over and over and over again. This is not only a question of Reid's coaching ability, but also of his job as General Manager. I think it is clear that the Eagles will not win a Superbowl with Reid. Why waste more seasons with a guy when you know he can't win you a championship? And for Philly fans who haven't seen a championshio in 20 years and haven't an an Eagle's championship for over 40 years, it is all about wining a championship.
But I know whats going to happen. We're going to be stubborn and keep Reid and McNabb arround and things will get really bad and we go 3-14. And the then Lurie and Banner will wake up after we've wasted multiple years .
I say get it over with NOW .
