McNabb
everyone will say what they want about the benching, but it unleashed something in McNabb. Maybe that was when it actually hit him that he might not be back next year. Since then, the normally buttoned down "company man" seems to be playing loose and having fun - something we maybe have not seen since his first 2-3 years in the league - before all his other QB draft counterparts flamed out, he became the "franchise" and took on the crushing pressure of expectations (right after the Rams championship loss?).
Anyway, at the time i hated the phone thing yesterday when Mcnabb drew the personal foul and turned a 3rd and 1 conversion from ending the game into an impossible 3rd and 16 that gave the Giants one last shot. 24 hours later however, with the penalty not hurting anything, i see it as the play of a straight arrow guy that really is just having fun - a 10 year veteran playing like a rookie. i find it very encouraging.
It is unbelievable that D stuffed the Giants on 4th and short TWICE on must have first downs by the Giants. INCREDIBLE!!!!!!!
I mean, on that Eli QB sneak (and what a disaster that play call was, why are you not giving the ball to Jacobs?), i don't think the refs even measured for the first after 4th down, there was no question he didn't make it.
part of me doesn't like having to go out to Phoenix, the Eagles don't' traditional play/travel there really well. The other part of me likes it cause it fits in with the fast, loose, and world against us nature of this team right now.
