Mcnabb appears to be done and he is the reason for this loss

Even when he has time to throw it, he never has space to step into the throw (even if Rabach isn't stepping on his foot!)
The fact that they don't call many intermediate routes I consider an epic fail under the circumstances, especially on 2nd and long. I'm tired of seeing either the attempt to win the lottery (bomb) or the screen pass where the ball arrives at the same time as the unblocked defender.

They've also asked him to change his throwing mechanics.

My old violin teacher always told me that if you don't like the mechanics of the way someone plays, but they get good results out of it, you DON'T change it.
Hopefully the Shanahans will let McNabb throw the ball his way. I wouldn't be surprised if the attempt to change his motion is part of the reason he is generating poorer results.

Your first paragraph sounds ever so famaliar, beginning to be a yearly tradition.
