Just wondering what you guys thought of these reports that are coming out that McNabb was sick during the game and at one point couldn't even call out the plays, and everyone's favorite scrub WR Freddie Mitchell had to call the play.
It kind of explains some things, he did seem a bit out of it late in the game.

Donavan McPuke just cant win the big game. Mcpuke has to play in three more to win the big one.

I think he was sick from his performance.

Amen! he didn't look so sick when his big ass flashed a beaming smile after his TD pass put the Iggles ahead 7-0 in the 2nd quarter.
He just doesn't have enough big game winning experience. The only way the Eagles were going to win that day is if Mcnabb would've scrambled more. There were plenty of lanes for him to run, but he froze and was content to sit back and make throws.

As much as we all hate on McNabb saying that he can't win a big game. Hey, at least he's been there. NONE of our QBs have played in a big game.
I know Brunell has played in championship game, but that was like 10 years ago. I mean...do you really think Brunell can come out and perform better than McNabb did? I think not.
I believe it that he was sick. The clock management at the end of the game was terrible, and I don't think Andy Reid had anything to do with it. Even Fraley tried to hurry up the offense, but McNabb called everyone back to huddle. That right there tells you that there was something else going besides poor clock management.
How warm was it that night I don't remember hearing, or perhaps it was just pure exhaustion from being so jacked up for the game.

I just hope that when all of the Eagles talent finally leaves them and they go back to being the doormat of the NFC East that they didn't win ANY Super Bowls

I thought I heard that it was in the 60's? I could be wrong.
To me that's perfect weather. But I also did hear that McNabb had a cold the night before.

Excuses, Excuses... Come on. The guy choked. TO--who I hate--played with screws in his legs, etc. Everyone is hurting this time of year. Ben Rothelsburger (sp!!!) claimed to have broken toes when he lost. Think of Doug Williams with the hyperextended knee. Playing hurt and sick is part of the deal.
By the way, what about the punk pinkston? Goes to the locker room with cramps in the SUPERBOWL? That guy finds a way to punk out every big game. (No need to even mention motormouth mitchell.)
I hate the iggles.
