Only 1 QB has gone into the Meadowlands and defeated the defending champs this season. Donovan McNabb. He has now done it TWICE and is about to punch a ticket to the 5th NFC Championship game of his career. I wonder does today's divisional round win on the road count as a "BIG GAME" for those who say McNabb chokes in big games?

he did choke, but eli choked more.

Donovan showed alot of leadership yesterday to help his team win. In the 2nd half he made some crucial 3rd down passes to sustain drives, and also used his feet to extend some plays. He had the 2 INTs, but 1 was a tip and outside of those 2 miscues he made the plays he needed to. Donovan is one of the game's best. PERIOD.

that game was an offensive nightmare for both teams. The eagles didnt win, the giants lost, there is a difference. Mcnabb was horrible. Sure the eagles made some great 3rd down conversions but it wasnt like he did some great play. The Eagles D won that game, not Mcnabb.

one example, superbowl where the giants played the bills. Missed 49 yard field goal... the giants didnt win, the bills lost.

this game. 3-5 field goals, no TD's, the giants had there chances but didnt capitalize. The giants horrible play calling (jacobs has 5+ yards/carry and you qb sneak eli, WTF), eli sucking almost as bad as jake, the eagles have horrible offense...the giants lost due to these conditions and others, not the eagles making great plays on offense.

The first game the eagles beat the giants this year... they beat the giants. The game where the eagles lost to washington? The eagles lost that game, washington didnt win. If you cant figure it out by that, then just be happy the eagles are playing next week and let me mope.

I understand what you're saying, but I don't see how the past game applies.

Even if they make those FGs the eagles still win.

I didn't disagree with the QB sneak. They also had a 4th and 2 and ran Jacobs who failed to convert. It was 4th and inches, so why hand the ball off 3 yards deep? Eagles first TD was 3rd and inches where the sneak worked. They failed to punch it in when running.

Also, Jacobs is a force, but he's actually not a great short yardage back, like the bus for instance. Jacobs needs to gain steam to be effective.

Case and point, when the giants needed to make plays the Eagles D did. When the Eagles O needed to make a play they did. Driving down right before half to get a FG which reclaimed the lead. 3rd and 20 deep in their own territory, they converted. It wasn't a great offensive showing, but they did line up against a pretty darn good defense.

no, this is the typical prevent d that just prevents a team from winning. I hate the 2 minute D and cant understand why every team goes into this mode which usually just lets the other team score.

Making those FG's would have changed a few things. Field position is one and play calling is another.

You just dont understand how much i dislike the eagles. And it isnt because of the eagles, it is because of there fans (my friends). Playing cards with them this month is going to SUCK.

I watched McNabb yesterday and I admire his play. I also admire his fortitude. The guy catches poo from every angle. His coach benched him in a game that they weren't that far behind in, a large portion of his fans give him hell and boo him, not to mention the people that give him hell just because he plays for Philly or because he is black.

...the game also reinforced my belief that he has a bunch of shitty receivers to throw to. Someone brought it up here a few years ago when discussing John Fox. Fox has always supposedly :rolleyes5: been a run first coach, but until recently did not have any high powered running backs. Reid is a pass happy coach that doesn't seem to see the need for a high caliber wide receiver. I guess the one time he tried with TO left a bad taste in his mouth.

Well Don did all he could today but Arizona's offense and dropped passes from his receivers were too much to overcome. Donovan's play in the 2nd half of the season is nothing to be ashamed of and I have no doubt that he's one of the top QBs in the game. I'd love to have Donovan QB here in Carolina.

and you know what's something? the one time McNabb DID have a reliable receiver (loud mouthed as he is), they went to the SB.

      If you could add one player from any team in the NFL to the 2025 Panthers to make them Super Bowl contenders, who would it be?

      By tukafan21 · Posted

      I don't disagree, but you're not giving our offense enough credit, and I'm not saying we would win the SB, just that we would be contenders, which we would have been. The Bengals had a horrible start to the season last year and it caused them to just miss the playoffs by one game, but had they made it, they absolutely would have been contenders in the AFC.  They had a bad defense, probably worse than ours will be this year, and you can't convince me that we don't have a better offensive roster than they had last year.   We have a Top 10 OL, two 1k rushers from last year, two 1st round WRs, one of the best slot WRs in the league, and then Coker.  Like I said, their Top 2 WRs are better than ours will be this year, but we take them in every other spot, OL, RBx2, and our 3rd/4th WRs.   If Burrow was able to turn that team into a contender last year, no reason he couldn't do the same with our roster this year.  And hell, I think our offensive roster is better than KC's last year too, and while I know their defense did a lot of the heavy lifting last year, if you give Mahomes an improved offensive roster around him, he's going to be THAT much better himself. A Mahomes, Burrow, or Allen would be able to win the South by outscoring teams.  And yes, come playoff time against an Eagles or Lions juggernaut, our defense probably costs us the game, but that doesn't mean we wouldn't at least be contenders. If Bryce can prove me wrong and his supporters here right, and be THAT guy for us this year, I genuinely think we can be a real playoff threat in 2026 once we add a few more pieces to the defense and then be a genuine SB contender in 2027 if the team keeps improving. We're the 2022 Detroit Lions right now.   Great offensive pieces, tons of holes on defense, but if things go right we'll just miss the playoffs (like they did) and then be right in the playoff hunt the next year (like they did) and then be contenders the following season (like they did when they were the #1 seed).

      Hornets have had the worst luck of any professional sports franchise this century. Constantly drafting a slot below the generational talent, all because of the lottery done behind closed doors. It's been brutal and frankly unfair to be a diehard fan of this franchise, and I don't blame anyone for cutting out the stress.

      We will see if there is any logic to those sort of packages. I haven't seen a ton of evidence that Evero operates that way.
