For the first time in their 10-year tenure together with the Eagles, Andy Reid has benched Donovan McNabb for poor performance. McNabb was 8 for 18 for 59 yards in the first half against Baltimore, with 2 INTs and a fumble, which led directly to all 10 of the Ravens' points. The Eagles' defense has played very well, but it's nearly impossible to defend 5-yard fields.
Is this the dawn of the Kevin Kolb era? Probably: With him in there, Reid is continuing to run his insanely ineffective "pass-only" offense. I suppose Reid wasn't comfortable with Kolb in there until Kolb was completely ready to helm his patented "Hit The Square Peg Harder" offense. With an inexperienced QB in there, you might have to -- gasp! -- run the ball.
And if indeed we've seen the last of Donovan in Philly: fare thee well, gentle friend. You've been the best quarterback we've ever had. Hopefully, in '09, you'll get to work with a coach who has some clue how to put you in a position to succeed.
Update: Bombs away! Reid keeps 'em chuckin', and now Kolb has thrown a pick. I can't fucking stand this team.

Merrill Reese: "You've heard of the No-Name Defense? Well, this is the No-Points Offense."
I've been a Reid supporter all my time in Philly, but really, this is just ridiculous. Just awful and ridiculous.
Oh, and wonderful.
Another game in a scant 4 days...
Have fun winning a Super Bowl ring in Chicago Donovan.
