Should Andy Reid and Donovan McNabb Stay Or Should They Go Now?

What a season this has been so far for the Philadelphia Eagles.

They started off great against the Rams, dismantling that defense right from the get go and getting this season off to a quick start.

From there things started to get shaky.

They lost close games to the Cowboys, Giants, Bears, and were shocked by the Redskins, back when people thought they were all of a sudden a top dog in the NFC (look how that is ending up).

Then they won great games against the Steelers, Falcons, 49ers, and Seahawks.

Then there was that thing against the Bengals that happened, that I would rather not talk about right now, because yes, we all know what happened.

Next there was the game against the Ravens. The game that seemed to mark the end of the Donovan  McNabb era in Philadelphia, when Kevin Kolb was brought into the game in the second half. While a healthy McNabb was only down by a touchdown.

Everyone thought that was it for Mcnabb... but wait. Reid decided to go back to Mcnabb for the Thanksgiving prime time game, against a Cardinals team that was looking to clinch the NFC West.

And what did McNabb do when faced with adversity once again?

He shined.

Four touchdown passes, 27-39 passing, and the more important thing: no turnovers.

So with that big win, the Eagles moved ahead to 6-5-1 and had the light idea of playoffs still in their mind.

Next task for this team was the Giants, and once again, McNabb and the rest of his team showed everyone they still are for real, and can play that top notch football they were expected to be playing all year, winning the game 20-14.

Now the Eagles are at a 7-5-1 record and are a half game out of the last wild card spot, with losses by the Cowboys, Falcons, and Redskins this week.
