How do you sum up all kinds of thoughts and emotions and get them to come out in a coherent fashion? <BR/><BR/>Andy was right to bench Donnie on Sunday, but I'm glad he's giving him the next start. You have to put the veteran back on the field. Sink or swim. Give him a chance to show what he can do. <BR/><BR/>Donovan still has talent and will be a starter next year, whether in Philly or elsewhere. He just needs some changes around him or a new team. <BR/><BR/>No matter what happens, a running game in 2009 is a must.Tommy Lawlorhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11785088312640195066noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4955582067533116261.post-46953060905276317722008-11-24T13:47:00.000-05:002008-11-24T13:47:00.000-05:00If you going to run the ball less than 15 times a ...If you going to run the ball less than 15 times a game, it doesn't matter who the QB is.<BR/><BR/>Ed Reeds's take on the situation was pretty much similar, rather focusing on throwing the ball 40 or 50 times a game.<BR/><BR/>As worrying, the last successful RB we traded/picked up/drafted was Westbrook in '02!!!Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16674361383805892702noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4955582067533116261.post-84607565632604962802008-11-24T10:27:00.000-05:002008-11-24T10:27:00.000-05:00I just hate to see the McNabb era ending so disgra...I just hate to see the McNabb era ending so disgracefully.

I expected more witty movie references and obscure quotes :). Your sentiments about the season being over are basically echoing what I was thinking after the Giants game.<BR/><BR/>On the bright side, there is a core group of players on this team that are young and talented, so the future isn't completely bleak, and as some teams like the Dolphins and Falcons have shown, an organization can turn it around in a hurry with the right people in place.Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18085850538234303845noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4955582067533116261.post-32545364967089398412008-11-23T21:08:00.000-05:002008-11-23T21:08:00.000-05:00So who should start Thursday, Tommy?

I know the depth chart has Kolb as the #2, but I hated seeing him put in that spot. Seems more fair to give him a start after a week of getting reps with the 1's.<BR/><BR/>I'll say that Don deserves the shot to start Thursday. It's not ideal b/c he knows the hook now exists, but I'd play him until the team is mathematically eliminated. As fans we can pronounce the 2008 season as dead, but you can't expect coaches and players to play for the future until the playoffs are completely out of the question.xtianDChttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09877077609554329585noreply@blogger.com
