Donovan McNabb's fraudulent nice guy act sickens me

[TheNatureBoy]

This guy is full of crap - always has been - he's a media KissA - This guy has showboated more than any player I can recall - right therte wit the Deion's etc - he loves to do those EZ dance routines when he's winning - but he also loves to grab for a hammy or roll around a bit on the turf when the tides turn ala last Season in Philly when Roy beat him - he was grabbing for that leg more thabn a few times - RIGHT after he danced the Gig and moonwalk in the EZ - he's a fraud and I don't like him one bit.
I'm on to that Chunky Soup Act

No Dallas is a champaigne and southwest fjaitas kind of town. Much like the old saying of act like you've been there before, we are very spoiled and accustomed to winning. With 8 Super Bowl appearances and numerous close calls we are not complacent with merely being competitive, we also distain hoolaganism. As for the rest of Dallas sports, the Mavericks have witnessed a long awaited revival during the Mark Cuban tenure and the Dallas Stars are consistently a competitive force in the NHL with two Stanley Cup appearances and one victory in the last decade. The weakest link are the Texas Rangers but I have little interest in baseball and am not invested in the outcome of their season. So there you have it, the Dallas Metroplex area is accustomed to championship runs and winners, it is actually expected and the only thing deemed acceptable.

how can someone be winning a division when they are 0-1 in it, while 2 other teams in that division are 1-0, and one of those wins were at your expense? you're not making any sense, well, you never do, but still...

[hmcorp]

Well I mean I think the game is going to be a good game. But I dont think beating a hurt washington team, and a weak titans team means much right now.

Just as beating san fransisco, houston and green bay means very little.

I think this will be a close match up. Both teams are talented. Mcnabb is a better threat than bledsoe is.

I think if westbrook doesnt play then our Rbs have an edge but the philly run defense is very good.

They have to be worried a little bit about the secondary.

It should be an interesting game.

Road games are really really tough. It will not be easy for dallas to win. But I think if dallas plays well enough they can win. We just cant make an early turnover and we have to keep up with the pace.

I think jacksonville was a good lesson for dallas. We came in and punched them in the mouth but we relented. We let them back in and didnt wake up till the end of the fourth quarter.

Cant let that happen again.

I'll give you that, although besides the Jax game, BLedsoe has been looking pretty good

I think if westbrook doesnt play then our Rbs have an edge but the philly run defense is very good.

we're pretty stout against the run too, and I like our RBs better, even w/ a healthy Westbrook

They have to be worried a little bit about the secondary.

understatement

outside of McNabb being able to avoid pressure better, I don't see any other advantage that Philly has over us, although Dexter Wynn at times looks pretty good on kick returns, and area we're currently struggling a little bit at

What point Bimbo......that the eagirls suck?

[hmcorp]

Actually if we beat philly I think we can take houston and the giants at home.

I really do.

We could be sitting on a record of 5-1 if we beat philly...And that is an If.

I am serious dont underestimate their offense. that offensive line gives mcnabb time. and he will find an open man. we have to get pressure without blitzing all the time.

we will have to match them in scoring.

if they shut down our run game they can play more coverage.

i agree our run defense is good. but it isnt perfect. we have been known to let up. dont forget last year when westbrook put up 100 yards.

we had mcnabb to thank for gift wrapping the win for us. their o line and d line are VERY talented. they are a big reason they have dominated some lesser teams as we have dominated some lesser teams.

This sundays game should be a tough one. One that dallas could lose as easily as philly could lose.

I dont think our season is over if we lose. We have two good homes games ahead of us with houston and the giants.

But if we win 5-1 is a nice sounding record for the boys.

[Chuck 54]

Man, it sounds like a bunch of middle schoolers in here. Philly is leading the division...check your newspaper or espn.com to see who's on top. You win the division by having the best record overall, even if you lose more divisional games...the divisional record only comes into play when two teams have the exact same record.

Bottom line: whoever wins on Sunday will definitely have an early lead in the NFC EAST. I'm glad you guys are so confident that Dallas will waltz into Philly and destroy the Eagles...I don't feel that way at all. Winning in Philly is a very very tall order, always has been, even back when we were the superior team. I know...I used to go to the PHilly game every year, and even when they were at the bottom of the division, they seemed to almost always beat us in Philly.

If we can run the ball...If Bledsoe doesn't turn it over and has a good game...If the OL protects him well against all the Philly blitz packages...and IF our defense shows up and can contain McNabb, then we will win this game,even on the road.

But it won't be easy...we need to play very good football. I expect the score to be very close at the end of the first half, and I hope we win in the 2nd half.

[Phoenix-Talon]

Come on Limbo......don't let those mean little boys push you around like that.

You seem confused LT ...your quote is from summerisfunner, yet you're speaking to Timbo2st:confused: Perhaps this Eagles victory on Sunday will help you snap back on track.

Can we talk about the match-ups?

Quite frankly, Dallas is a good team and depending on who makes the most mistakes, who protects their QB better, and whose DL shows up and grinds it out best, will determine the momentum.

JJ is looking good, but Westbrook matches up and possibly (you think) surpasses him.

What can we say about T-Glenn and T-Owens ...both clutch players that should be able to make game-breaking plays if given the opportunity. But Sheldon Brown, Michael Lewis, and possibly Lito Sheppard plan to thwart those opportunities ...did I say anything about the X-man?!

Bledsoe has some real good skills and given the time, he probably would hit his targets all day from the pocket. Out of the pocket and scrambling, he's going to be like a fish out of water for Howard, Cole and several different faces of Eagle blitz'. I'd actually be more concerned about Romo in the backfield, but even he lacks the experience needed at his current level of play.

Huge question is ...can you OL hold up against our DL. Many here like to revisit the teams that the Eagles have defeated, calling them cake walks and easy games against easy teams. But if you recall the 49ers game when the 49ers moved the ball up to the red-zone and were stopped by a very stubborn Eagles DL on a goal line stand, the Eagles made a major statement.


That said, I'm only telling you that you are not facing the 2005 Philadelphia Eagles ...we'll compete at the highest level. Will the Cowboys be able to elevate their game accordingly?

[CrazyCowboy]

He will pay big time on Sunday when Roy takes him out for all his sins!

There's a lot of wisdom in your words w_m ...but a tall order indeed. If either team is significantly ahead at the half, that may dictate who will carry the momentum into the 4th and final quarter.

Prepare to hear the noise! The stadium will be electrifying and Bledsoe had better practice up on his hand signals because his audibles will be useless. But no one is underestimating your Cowboys! We'll bring our "A" game!

[Phoenix-Talon]

He will pay big time on Sunday when Roy takes him out for all his sins!

Slow down CrazyCowboy! I know you're psyched-up for the game, but who the Heck are you talking about. Your statement could apply to just about any of our offensive weapons. If you mean McNabb, don't forget we've got another former NFL starting QB as backup ...Garcia!

The bigger question, is how are your wrs going to get open against our defense? That is the big question. Our secondary is very good. Your wrs are banged up and scare no one. There will not be a weak spot to pick on like last week.

Couple that with your inability to sustain a running attack, and you have no chance. Your one dimensional and that dimension doesn't scare Dallas.

I would stop pointing to your DL as well. They have not looked the same since the Kearse injury. In addition, our line play has ended up being one of the strengths of our team. Keep hoping that your going to see Bledsoe running for his life.... Parcells is going to establish the run.

It's going to be a good game, it is tough to win on the road. I see a lot of overconfident Eagles fans though. I hope they are ok after Sunday.

[Phoenix-Talon]

You may think that's a difficult question, but it actually has any easy answer. You may be thinking this is still the 2005 Eagles with a one-dimension, pass, pass, pass, menality. But if you haven't Noticed, in 2006 we've been mixing it up, passing still, but running, using our TEs, and opening up plays In the flat for our WRs. This has Been highly effective in confusing secondaries and confusing DLs.

[burmafrd]

PT, take off the Homer Glasses. ALL your offense is in the hands of McFlabb and Westbrook. You have nothing else that worries ANYONE. Westbrook is injured and frankly will not last the game. McFlabb is going to be contained and has no one to throw to that will get open. Your secondary is over rated even when healthy and is banged up. Our O line is finally playing well and will do good enough for our WR and TE to eat your secondary up. Then late in the game we will pound it down your throats with the running game.

Limited perspective, humorous, yet non-persuasive. McNabb and Westbrook aren't just threats ...they are double threats, both able to do more than what their positions dictate, both able to modify plays as they develop.

Underestimate the rest of the team if you want to, ...you'll pay dearly!

Yeah, let's do that.

Quite frankly, Dallas is a good team and depending on who makes the most mistakes, who protects their QB better, and whose DL shows up and grinds it out best, will determine the momentum.

Conveniently left out the wide receiver position making plays against the opponents secondary. Not surprising since it clearly doesn't favor your team. But it should be considered since it was the reason your team was able to beat the Packers, despite both of your lines being outplayed.

JJ is looking good, but Westbrook matches up and possibly (you think) surpasses him.

Maybe as a receiver but that's it. Jones is as good a running back. Maybe better. And Jones is healthy while the same can't be said for Westbrook even if he does play.

What can we say about T-Glenn and T-Owens ...both clutch players that should be able to make game-breaking plays if given the opportunity. But Sheldon Brown, Michael Lewis, and possibly Lito Sheppard plan to thwart those opportunities ...did I say anything about the X-man?!

Funny, that the Eagles' secondary hasn't looked too good so far against less than stellar competition? Sorry, not scared of the league's 28th best pass defense........

Bledsoe has some real good skills and given the time, he probably would hit his targets all day from the pocket. Out of the pocket and scrambling, he's going to be like a fish out of water for Howard, Cole and several different faces of Eagle blitz'. I'd actually be more concerned about Romo in the backfield, but even he lacks the experience needed at his current level of play.

If he "scrambles" as much as Favre had to we'll be in fine shape. How many sacks did you have against him again?

Huge question is ...can you OL hold up against our DL. Many here like to revisit the teams that the Eagles have defeated, calling them cake walks and easy games against easy teams. But if you recall the 49ers game when the 49ers moved the ball up to the red-zone and were stopped by a very stubborn Eagles DL on a goal line stand, the Eagles made a major statement.

Yeah, ignore the fact that the Niners moved the ball down the field. And gloss over the fact that your opponents have been cake walks. Games against the 32nd, 31st, 27th and 24th defenses can hardly qualify as being tested.


That said, I'm only telling you that you are not facing the 2005 Philadelphia Eagles ...we'll compete at the highest level. Will the Cowboys be able to elevate their game accordingly?

And you're facing the Dallas Cowboys!

[Padd]

You are dead on, Nature Boy! I completely agree. He's a choker.

This has Been highly effective in confusing secondaries and confusing DLs.

I'm sorry but in the Green Bay game, *until* the game was broken wide open, the only running threat of any consequence was Donovan McNabb. If Westbrook can't play I can't say I'm at all worried about the Eagles running game. Hell, if Westbrook can play, I'm still not worried about the Eagles running game, it's just that Westbrook "takes it up a notch" in the short passing game.

McNabb is looking good and spreading the ball around. Some low throws but he's lively in the pocket and he's clearly the best running QB this side of Michael Vick.

And unlike some other people here, I'm an old enough dog not to predict anything in a division rivalry game, no matter how different the records are. Division rivalry games often swing on emotion as opposed to talent and record. Should be a good game.

David.

:hammer:

Amazing how the Cowboys bring out so much emotion in fans of other teams. They spend more time here than they do on any Eagles board. As far as the game, the Cowboys have improved in each game. I see this trend continuing. Not that it will be a cakewalk or anything, but Philly seems to think that anger, violence, noise, hatred and nastiness will add up to a victory. If that was true, they would've won something by now. Their emotion will only carry them so far, then Dallas will make plays to shut them up and take home a victory. We could actually afford to lose this game, but we won't. A loss will be much more devastating to Philly. They will be 0-2 in the division and their only victories will be against the NFL's basement teams.

[Phoenix-Talon]

Because, as we all know, a fan's estimation of the opposing team has an enormous impact on the outcome of the game.

Well that's a good point that everyone should remember.

[SMCowboy]

Can we talk about the match-ups?

Quite frankly, Dallas is a good team and depending on who makes the most mistakes, who protects their QB better, and whose DL shows up and grinds it out best, will determine the momentum.


OK, lets take a look at the two teams and how the match up


JJ is looking good, but Westbrook matches up and possibly (you think) surpasses him.


You are forgetting something when it comes to the RB's. We are two deep with our second string RB being just as good as our first string RB. Marion Barber is head and shoulders above Buckhalter and Moats.

Yes, Brian Westbrook is very dangerous and he is a dual threat. But, he does have a limitation, you can not consistantly feed him the ball 20+ times a game, he is not big enough for the job. While Westbrook is better than Julius Jones, I would definately take our two deep Jones and Barber over Westbrook and Buckhalter. After Westbrook ya'll are very thin at RB, while our #2 is just as good as our #1 RB. All in all, it is about even.


What can we say about T-Glenn and T-Owens ...both clutch players that should be able to make game-breaking plays if given the opportunity. But Sheldon Brown, Michael Lewis, and possibly Lito Sheppard plan to thwart those opportunities ...did I say anything about the X-man?!


Brown, Lewis, and Sheppard may have plans to thwart those opportunities, but looking at the stats, I would say those oppurtunities will probally be quite unsuccessful. Despite facing the superior passings attachs of Houston, San Francisco, Green Bay and New York Giants (they do have a pertty good passing attack) your pass D is still ranked 28th in the league in yards allowed per game. And is 22nd in the league allowing 61% completion percentage. This is after finishing 21st in yards per game last year and 16th in completion percentage last year. I am not seeing where your secondary has shown that it can put its will against the opponent.


Bledsoe has some real good skills and given the time, he probably would hit his targets all day from the pocket. Out of the pocket and scrambling, he's going to be like a fish out of water for Howard, Cole and several different faces of Eagle blitz'. I'd actually be more concerned about Romo in the backfield, but even he lacks the experience needed at his current level of play.


Go ahead and blitz, and leave that very fearsom secondary man up on Terry Glenn, Terrell Owens, and Jason Witten. Not to mention the playmaking ability of Julius Jones out of the backfield. If you try and cover Terry Glenn AND Terrell Owens in man to man coverage all day with a heavy blitz package it will be a long day for the Philly D.


Huge question is ...can you OL hold up against our DL. Many here like to revisit the teams that the Eagles have defeated, calling them cake walks and easy games against easy teams. But if you recall the 49ers game when the 49ers moved the ball up to the red-zone and were stopped by a very stubborn Eagles DL on a goal line stand, the Eagles made a major statement.


Can our OL hold up against your DL. Well lets see here. The fearsom Philly run D is allowing 94.5 yards per game ranked 16th in the league. As well as 3.7 yards per carry 15th in the league. This is despite facing teams with such feared running games as Green Bay, Houston, and San Francisco. Our OL on the other hand has given up 3 sacks all season, as well are we are averaging 147 yards per game rushing (5th in the league) and are averaging 4.7 yards per game (tied for 4th in the league). Despite 2 of the teams that we have played (Washington and Jacksonville are both ranked in the TOP 10 in the league in yards per game and yards per attempt. Your DL is ranked 2nd in the league with 16 sacks, but you have only recorded 3 sacks since Kearse was injured.

The real question should be can your OL hold up against our DL. Ya'll have given up 9 sacks, tied for 18th most in the league despite facing D's that are dead last in sacks per game (Giants), and 12th in the league in Sacks per game (Houston). Although so far the 49ers and Packers have done a pertty good job of rushing the passer.


That said, I'm only telling you that you are not facing the 2005 Philadelphia Eagles ...we'll compete at the highest level. Will the Cowboys be able to elevate their game accordingly?

No, we are not facing the 2005 Eagles. But, the 2006 Eagles are not as dangerous as you are making them sound. Right now the Eagles are 3rd in the league for scoring offense (averaging 29.2 points per game) but ALL 4 opponents are in the BOTTOM 6 teams in the league and are averaging giving up (29.8 points per game). Also the Eagles D is 14th in the league at 18.2 points per game but only the Giants at 27.0 points per game are in the top half of the league in points per game. While both Green Bay and Houston are in the bottom third of the league in points per game.

As for the Cowboys, we are second in the league at 29.7 points per game, and tied for 7th giving up 16.0 points per game. Despite two of the teams that we faced (Jaguars and Redskins) both being in the top half of the league in points per game.

What he said :D

[Doomsday]

This guy is full of crap - always has been - he's a media KissA - This guy has showboated more than any player I can recall - right therte wit the Deion's etc - he loves to do those EZ dance routines when he's winning - but he also loves to grab for a hammy or roll around a bit on the turf when the tides turn ala last Season in Philly when Roy beat him - he was grabbing for that leg more thabn a few times - RIGHT after he danced the Gig and moonwalk in the EZ - he's a fraud and I don't like him one bit.
I'm on to that Chunky Soup Act
And he flat out lies here - TO said he never was Text'

He makes me sick as well.

Why all the hatred gents? I never understood the hatred for other teams' players.

It's the NFL guys. We're adults. No need to demean another player cuz he plays for another team. This isn't JHS. Argue sensibly but don't hate someone cuz they don't wear blue and silver.

Donovan McNabb is one of the top QB's in the NFL. Deal with it. He is what he is. There are about 25 teams in the NFL who would love to have McNabb as their starting QB ... Cowboys included.

Put down the Haterade and talk objectively.

[aikemirv]

I am sick of people talking down about McNabb just because he is an Eagle.

It just gets really silly.

And now, even more, we have the staunch TO guys saying how it was all McNabb's fault with that mess.

It is just all really childish!

I don't hate him, but I do think he is a putz and I wouldn't want him as our QB either.

He is a great athlete, but not a leader.

And like the subject says, he is a phony.

Is that objective ?

If it bothers you that much that some of us question Mr. McNabb's sincerity, feel free to move along. Or is this going to be another "why waste time bashing Quincy so I'll post 20 times in the bash Quincy thread" kind of deals for you?

OH! Praise jeebus! Eddie has arrived to keep us objective and level-headed! Oh, hallelujah!

[stasheroo]

Yet who took the high road while the other took the low road?

I didn't hear "Terrible Owens" taking shots at McNabb but I clearly heard McNabb say "1 player can't make a team.....break a team maybe....."

Funny that the thin-skinned McNabb can get away with saying that but if the dreaful Owens did it would be front page news?

That's where plenty of criticism that is rightfully directed towards Mcnabb comes from.

And for the record, I would never want the guy quarterbacking the Cowboys - not ever.

So back to the thread.....

Nothing screams sincerity like sending a personal text message and then informing the media that you sent the message. Some media moron was bound to bite and that my friends was none other than one Joe Theismann. During last Monday's telecast he told the world that the text message is "true class" on the part of McNabb. Mission accomplished Donovan...

Him being an Eagle has nothing to do with my dislike of him. I just think hes an arrogant punk who can only be found when things are going well. When things get tough he shrivels up like the little girl he is. I have respect for a lot of players on rival teams like Eli, Dawkins etc.. I just cant stand McNabb.

What can we say Jumbo.....we just don't want you here.
