@ AA: You're absolutely right. While Andy Reid may have to coach his team on NFL timing rules a little bit better it in no way cost his team the game. Remember, the last play of the game with 7 seconds left was a 70-yard bomb that fell incomplete. The not knowing of the rules did not, in any way, contribute to the outcome of that game.

And obviously McNabb does not remember 2005 (?) when the Rams and the Panthers went to double overtime.

But AA, how do you know that McNabb would not have played with a bigger sense of urgency at the 13- or five-minute mark had he known that another period would not be coming?

I agree with Tiki (this is a rare occurrence), McNabb's lack of knowledge here is indefensible.

@ anon: There was no need for urgency at that point. Had the Eagles had even sustained a drive, then they would have had to have been concerned with running down the clock so that in the case of a missed field goal the Bengals would have no time left to construct a drive. Overtime clock management was NOT the reason the Eagles tied taht game, nor was it even a factor. At no point, and I do this quite often, did I mark out at Reid while watching the game about his often atrocious time management.

I fail to see how McNabb will regret this for a long time.

Tiki Barber is a complete fucktard.

who gives a crap what Meki thinks? he also said that Eli wasn't a leader and that the Giants would go no where after he retired. JUST SHUT UP!

I agree with the other anon. McNabb didn't know til the last play of the game, so how can you say it wouldn't have changed his play?

He will regret saying that because it shows McNabb is a loser. Not that Tiki is perfect, but your anger towards him shows you are an uneducated Philadelphia fan (actually they all are).

@ anon @ 4:18: If you're talking to AA and calling him an uneducated Philly fan then you are even more uneducated then you claim Philly fans like me are. While AA's favorite team is in the NFC team is in the NFC East, he's not an Eagles fan...

If you thought what AA said was harsh, wait 'til you read what I have to say to one Tiki Barber.

Who cares what some random blogger has to say?

Barber is a fucking idiot his black ass is sitting on the sidelines where he belongs

McNabb may have talked his way out of Philly and get Reid fired in the process. Barber may have talked his own way out of his NBC job.

@ anon @ 8:49: I hope the last 2 are true.

It is simply amazing the number of people who time after time defend McNabb. Why?

And you stay classy, anon 6:25 PM!

As far as McNabb, Reid and Eagles owner Jeff Lurie, the parting of these three will come after the season. Ried is fired, repalced by a new coach, then McNabb is traded for a package of payers and high draft picks by the new player personel boss.

i wonder what that deleted post was.

Barber, that was a stupid thing to do. Of course, McNabb needs to realize that there are no ties in regular season games, but I don't see how a tie necessarily hurts the Eagles' playoff chances. That's a presumptuous thing to say at this juncture. I do know that ties are better than losses, though.

As a Giants fan, I have a few words for Tiki:

Don't you have some unsettled regrets yourself?

Kiss the ring!
