The Pitts

Man, that was a butt kicking at Heinz Field on Sunday (can I say "ass" kicking on this site?). It was just one of those games. Eagles fans are familiar with the type... the kind where McNabb basically throws up a mulligan. #5 never looked comfortable on the field (and he looked particularly pissed off (can I say pissed off on this site) with TO in his ear trying to pump him up.).

It happens. Remember the game when the Colts came to town? How about against the Jaguars...at the Vet? Although, I must say that even at half time I was reminiscing about the comeback McNabb orchestrated against the Steelers a couple of years ago at Three Rivers (Akers made a last second FG and won it in OT) and thinking that it could happen again. Uh, no.

Look, let's just move on. The Steelers are one of the best teams in the league and we played them on the road after two draining games by the Eagles. On the bright side, McNabb and TO's relationship came out of the baptism by fire ok.

Did you get a sense like I did that McNabb just decided to shut TO by throwing him the ball 18 consecutive times in the second half? Wonder how TO would have felt about Garcia had he done that back in their days with the Niners. Also, I think the yapping TO did was overblown. The reality is McNabb finally has an equal peer on the offense (Westbrook is still too young) to speak directly to McNabb. Who else was going to do it? Todd Pinkston? Please.
