NFL Week 4 Eagles Vs Redskins: Putting My Thoughts In Plain View

It's Sunday folks and that long week of waiting for this day has come. However, we still have an agonizing five hours remaining until the start of the show. My phone is ringing off the charts with calls regarding odds, my opinion on a few matters, among a few other things.

I've already posted a comment on Facebook saying "YAY McNabb" so it will be just one more cheer for him today before I return to being a loyal Philadelphia Eagle fan, the guy who wants to see rookie Brandon Graham have a career day that will be tough to beat.

I want to see Asante Samuel driving McNabb insane all day long, like he did in the 2004 Super Bowl after Donovan had just a little to much "chunky" soup before that game—so close and now so far away again.

For 60 minutes later this afternoon, I want Donovan McNabb to be Philadelphia's sworn enemy, or at least have that mind set.

On the flip side, I would love nothing more than to see Michael Vick man-handle Washington's defense almost as if saying to McNabb, thank you for getting me back in!

Just how frustrating would it be to have the team you technically should be leading whoop up on you? Would a feeling of "that should be me" come over Donovan?

What I'm really getting at here is how will McNabb handle getting beat by the Eagles twice already?

I know what McNabb has done for the Eagles franchise, I understand how many records he holds and that he is the teams most winning QB but guess what, none of that matters twice a year now and it all starts today.

He is the opposing QB for a rival team within the division, a team he wanted to go to, and from this point forward he should not be treated any different than any other QB in the National Football League.

Once the game is over if you want to put your No. 5 fathead back up fine, I get it, those things cost no less than 80 bucks, but I dare say this—if you are cheering for McNabb today during the game, and you aren't wearing a Redskins jersey, you are no fan of the Philadelphia Eagles.

I don't care what he's done for this franchise today, and no, it may not have been his decision to get traded. However, it was his choice to stay in the BEAST and if you can read between the lines like I can, it's obvious what finger he wants us all to see!

So with that, I want to see the Eagles attacking on both sides of the ball, players not only executing their plays but fighting for more when they do.

I want to see defensive coordinator Sean McDermott as relentless as we've ever seen him today because he is facing a phenomenal veteran QB.

Five hours remain, for the coaching staff, the players, and the fans to get their minds right and keep them fresh to remain on top in the division.
