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

The O-line is a shitshow (Casey Rabach is officially my least favorite player), we only have two starting pass catchers even worthy of an NFL roster, and we were with a 3rd string UDFA RB for a large part of the game. There's really nothing redeemable about our offense at all.

McNabb certainly wasn't any part of a solution today, but he was far from the biggest problem. However if Grossman is better at the 2 minute offense and understands the offense better overall... now that's a BIG issue in my mind.

Maybe there's more than meets the eye as far as how long McNabb's extension is taking....

I hear what you're sayin' .. but when McNabb has time he misses guys, or throws late or throws into double, triple coverage. He's just not comfortable in this offense yet and that's why they need to go with Grossman.

How Rabach and Heyer are starters in the NFL is absolutely beyond my comprehension. Both of these blowhards should've been released last season. All they do is screw it up week in and week out.

McNabb is also the reason we have won or been competitive in all games with the exception of the Rams game.

Our problem is not McNabb but the same ole issue we have had the last several years, Oline. We need some talent in there.

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

This thread is absolutely retarded. Doesn't matter what qb is under center, when you have a crappy offensive line anybody will be play like McNabb today. Even on plays where he didn't get sacked, it hurts. When you can't trust the line in front of you, your timing is off, you think too much and your play slows down, and it's evidenced just like it was today.

Not only is McNabb going to be our qb against the Eagles, but he will be against every opponent for the rest of the season most likely. Mainly because he gives us the best chance to win. Beyond this season is when the real questions will emerge, especially if McNabb doesn't impress.

I mean did anybody watch Rabach get repeatedly blown up against the Lions? He's consistently bad, he gets dominated by stronger defensive tackles and Hicks/Lichtensteiger aren't anything special either. We need a new interior offensive line.

You can keep blaming the qb all you want, no matter what season it is, but eventually people need to recognize the offensive line is ****ing our shit up.

That INT was still the reason they lost the game. Yes the O-line is crappy but that INT was the deal breaker

No it wasn't. There was plenty of time left, we weren't down by that much, and we still could've won. You're just looking for reasons to blame McNabb.

I'm not going to defend his pick, it was a retarded decision to throw the ball into a crowd with 3 defenders, but there was still a chance to win it after that.

The game was over when the offensive line allowed their d-line to strip sack Grossman and it got returned for a touchdown.

Even after McNabbs interception there was still plenty of time left in the game. The fumble was brutal

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

I don't know why people are calling for McNabb's head either. I mean geez, why not just throw Beck in there to QB while we're at it? Come on man, we're worlds better with McNabb at the helm than we were with Campbell. If anyone deserves their heads on a platter, its the O-line. They freaking stink. Where the hell is Bugel when we need him?

I guess there's just no pleasing some people.

Not sure what Bugel would do that he didn't last year

Some of the blame has to go to Kyle S. He's needed to go with max protection way earlier than he did.

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

Stupid thread. As I've always maintained on this board, consistently good teams win in the trenches, and this O-line is only marginally better than last year. Jamaal Brown has been a major disappointment, the Shanahans have it in their heads that Lichtensteiger can compete against superior competition when all evidence is to the contrary, and Rabach's best days are long past. This offense will NEVER be consistent until we upgrade across the ENTIRE line. Trent Williams was a great first step, but we need significant upgrades at every other position on the line IMO. Tom Brady would struggle behind this line every bit as much as McNabb, and that's a fact.
