PHILADELPHIA -- Donovan McNabb is not ruling himself out for the Eagles' game against New Orleans next Sunday despite suffering a cracked rib on Sunday. Philadelphia got some insurance on Monday, just in case.

The Eagles reached agreement with quarterback Jeff Garcia, league sources told ESPN's Adam Schefter on Monday. Garcia, a 10-year veteran, played for Philadelphia in 2006 and went 5-1 in six starts in relief of an injured McNabb.

Good move for the Eagles. Garcia is familiar with their system and did a good job filling in for Don a few years back.

There was supposed to have been tension between McNabb and Garcia last time, hence Philly's decision to let him go.

There was a faction of Philly fans that wanted the team to keep Garcia and trade McNabb. Throw that in with the Vick fans and you've got the potential for the wildest QB controversy of all time.

Curious move - I'm wondering if this signals that the Eagles are not confident in Michael Vick's ability to be a starting quarterback in a pinch.

Well, there might be some truth there. But if they didn't sign anyone, they are going into week 2 with Kolb and an injured McNabb, since Vick can't play until week 3.

So, they'd basically be facing the Saints with only one available QB. I don't think any team wants to do that.

      With the state of the OL the talent level of the opposing team and the venue it would be a small miracle if we don't turn the ball over let alone sustain drives. We squandered 8 drives against the winless Jets.

      I don’t have the energy right now. Not finished licking my wounds and complaining.  Preliminary thoughts … Loss. The awakening of rolling with RICO is a week late and they will shut our running game down (I watched some video and our receivers are sucking at their blocking assignments for the most part. Which most receivers do). It will be on Bryce to carry us through the air. Big test for him, good luck   I can’t do scores. We’ll lose the game not sure it will be that close.

      It will go one of two ways and depends who plays in the game. Canales gets his head out of his ass and starts Dowdle. Young manages to start. Cade Mays and Damien Lewis play. Running game gets going. Evero comes up with some scheme to slow down the Packers offense. The game is close but the Panthers lose an excruciating one at the end.  They haven’t put together a good game against a good opponent yet so I’m going to wager this will be an epic massacre. 50+ to 10 After what we saw against the Bills I have little hope for option A and fully expect option B.
