Reid and McNabb, One Last Dance....

Has there ever been a more tumultuous marriage of an NFL quarterback and his head coach, than what Donovan McNabb and Andy Reid have survived through this season?

When the Eagles fell in Week 12 to the Baltimore Ravens 36-7, this had to be considered rock bottom for quarterback Donovan McNabb. That loss dropped the Eagles to 5-5-1 and this was the game that head coach Andy Reid chose to bench his 10-year veteran quarterback; not a popular move and one that sparked much controversy

Many experts questioned the move, but also came to the conclusion that perhaps the marriage between McNabb and his only head coach as an NFL quarterback was over. The team have come up short in critical moments earlier in the season losing to the Cowboys and the Bears. But leave it to Andy Reid to keep everyone second guessing a day later, when he confirmed that McNabb, indeed was still his quarterback.
