but i do assume they watch their team closer than i and know the little things mcnabb does. i remember watching an eagles game with some eagles fans, they were constanty saying he throws to many into the ground. that day, it did seem like a noticeable bit of his throws were off target or in the ground.

i think philly fans just have different expectations. they've been a very very good team for a long time. they're frustrated they arent a great team and, as the face of the franchise, the QB takes the brunt of the criticism. By contrast, we've been putrid for decades. we just want to be respectable again.
