McNabb Blames Defense for Loss to Cardinals
Wed Feb 4, 2009
The Philadelphia Inquirer reports in the latest example of not-so-fearless leadership, QB Donovan McNabb hinted - and not very subtly, either - that the Eagles' defense was to blame for the NFC championship loss in Arizona. McNabb was on WIP-AM (610) recently when he was asked why the Birds could not score another touchdown after the Cardinals took a 32-25 lead. "We were up, 25-24," McNabb said. Then, in case people missed it the first time, he repeated it for good measure. "We were up, 25-24. [The Cardinals] drove down 72 yards by running the ball - probably, what, eight times? And it reminded me so much of [the NFC championship game in] St. Louis where, coming back in that second half, they ran the ball nine times with RB Marshall Faulk to keep our offense off the field. Because they were terrified of us going back out and scoring more points." What an interesting, selective memory he has. It's true that McNabb helped put the Eagles ahead late in the game against Arizona. And it's true the defense had a terrible day. But it's also true that the game wasn't over. Not by any stretch. After the Cardinals went up, 32-25, nearly three minutes remained on the clock. That's almost 5 percent of the game. (In a shocking development, the Eagles even had a time-out remaining.)
What a loser.... JUST SAY NO TO THIS DIPSHIT.
