Here's what I'm worried about...

Yeah, it's a big give-and-take game with McNabb. You can see why he won so many games in Philadelphia. If the defense fights, claws, and keeps the game close while he struggles, you just know at some point he's going to make a couple of 40+ yard plays to throw his team back into it.

We didn't win that game because of McNabb, because he's a big reason we were down 10-0 and then 13-3 in the first place, but we absolutely need his skill set to get out of that hole.

Of course, the problem with playing like that is that you subject yourself to the ridiculous replay-review system on the Armstrong touchdown, needing to have that catch in traffic to stay in the game. He held on, and we got it, but those catches can easily get taken away on a technicality in today's NFL. Then you lose.
