Rich Hofmann | McNabb falling short
 
THIS IS ABOUT the quarterback because, in the National Football League, it is always about the quarterback. Eagles coach Andy Reid can attempt to deflect the attention away from Donovan McNabb, and you would expect nothing else, but it is wasted breath.This is about McNabb. He is off - off […]

Sunday’s 19-16 loss to the Bears is a signpost along the road of a long season.  It shows the way to the playoff exits for optimistic fans, me included.  I have been maintaining a positive point of view despite the early avalanche of misadventures on offense.  My outlook had been that as McNabb improves, so […]
