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

Doesn't sound like excuses to me. But, the media is not satisfied with that answer, so they dig deeper, and Shanahan makes up a lame excuse to get them to shut up. The excuse is a lie, and not the truth, from Shanahan's perspective, IMO. Don't focus on the lies so much.

This is kind of my thought as well. I also think that MS rolled the dice in the heat of the moment and tried to spark something and it backfired. Unless McNabb was hurt, I don't and did'nt like the call at the time simply because it was Grossman that got the call, but I recognize the ballsy move and respect Shanny's guts to pull the trigger.
I also feel the need to point out the horrible o-line play. All the sacks and hurries on McNabb were devastating, culminating in the final 2 turnovers. The o-lines failures added up in the end to McNabb's poor decision to throw the pick into triple coverage, ahead by 5 with under 5 mins left, because a: being hit and hurried all day rattled DMc's confidence and poise, and b: under the situation, pocket protection was nil, and DMc tried to force the ball under fire.
Rabach and Lichtensteiger were owned all day for false starts and overwhelmed physically. The play call by Shanahan was knee jerk and premature imo, unless there was indeed a DMc injury, but I get it. I PUT THIS ONE ON THE O-LINE.
