Donovan McNabb

Aside from the Cleveland Show being force fed down our eyeballs during the rain delay in the World Series, I've yet to watch the cartoon. Reader John D. sends along this clip from Sunday's episode begging the question, who do...  

PHILADELPHIA — There have been 10-plus years worth of fine football, five Pro Bowls, a Super Bowl, some highlights play and a refreshing absence from police lineups and gossip pages. All of that explains why Donovan McNabb has held the Eagles hostage.  

Quarterback Donovan McNabb will tell you he is still the same. Although he has gotten some praise lately by coach Andy Reid for raising his leadership profile, the 11-year pro says he is just doing what he has always done. The only change is the personnel around him in the locker room.  

Donovan McNabb may not run as much as he used to but he remains dangerous, according to Wade Phillips. McNabb has rushed 14 times for 74 yards and a touchdown but it's what McNabb can do in the passing game...  

The Cowboys challenged Donovan McNabb's 11-yard touchdown throw to tight end Brent Celek, saying the Philadelphia quarterback had gone beyond the line of scrimmage before throwing. Referee Walt Coleman reviewed the play and upheld the call. According to Coleman, McNabb...

I say it's racist because just this past week we've had to relive the six-year-old canard that Rush Limbaugh was somehow racist for saying Donovan McNabb was overrated.Well, if that's the case, what can we say about this?He caught a lot of heat last year for not knowing how NFL ties work, though he's not the only one -- heck, even intelligent ex-quarterbacks-turned-announcers get it wrong from  

PHILADELPHIA (Reuters) - The Philadelphia Eagles moved to the top of the NFC East by overwhelming the New York Giants 40-17 on Sunday inspired by quarterback Donovan McNabb.McNabb completed 17 of 23 passes for 240 yards and three scores to lead the rout of the mistake-prone Giants (5-3), who lost their third straight game to stumble out of first place.  

Raiders defensive end Richard Seymour, above, gets a hand on Eagles quarterback Donovan McNabb, who was hit for a loss six times Sunday - twice by Seymour. McNabb had 269 yards passing, but lost 53 yards on his sacks, and Philadelphia's elite offense mustered...  

From: Fox, Ashley To: Brookover, Bob; McLane, Jeff Re: Super Five There was a lot of blather yesterday at the NovaCare Complex about how Donovan McNabb has evolved into the vocal leader in the Eagles locker room now that everyone who came before him - Tra Thomas, Jon Runyan, Brian Dawkins, to name a few - is gone. With McNabb in his 11th year here, isn't that as it should be? He is the old head.  

What the heck happened? A couple weeks ago, I could swear the NFC was underrated and gaining steam, and now this? How did this happen so quickly? Not to be a typical Philadelphian, but I blame Andy Reid. The Eagles' head coach claimed responsibility for Philly's inexplicable loss at Oakland last Sunday, and that result is the fulcrum upon which perception of the entire conference has turned. Reid and Donovan McNabb destabilized the entire NFL...  

He caught a lot of heat last year for not knowing how NFL ties work, though he's not the only one -- heck, even intelligent ex-quarterbacks-turned-announcers get it wrong from time to time. But Eagles quarterback Donovan McNabb(notes) must carry the grief alone for his clock-butchering boo-boo in his team's 13-9 loss to the Oakland Raiders.  

http://www.footballoutsiders.com/stats/teameffFor some reason, the Eagles always end up highly ranked by their stats. The really interesting thing currently though is that they're #2 because their D is #1 in DVOA, while the offense is only 12th. Gotta love those turnovers.  

Tough loss.Ranked reasons why we lost:1) Sheldon biting on the double move. That 7 points is why the Eagles lost.2) Offensive turnovers. 1 was 5's fault, other Maclin's.3) Poor game plan. a) Didn't call the right pass plays early and did nothing in 1Q. b) Running game was working when they tried it, but took too long to get there.4) O-line regressed back to OAK game.5) Defense didn't create any turnovers.Additional Comments on the...
