Re: The 2004 NFL playoff thread
I disagree with the McNabb money statement...He's the only playmaker they had on Sunday (with Westbrook injured). I don't care how much money they give him, he deserves it all for sure. The Eagles still have one of the lowest salary caps in the league, so McNabb isn't really hurting them in that department...it's more that Andy Reid is very stubborn about the way he runs his offense. He'll contend that Thrash and Pinkston can get the job done, but it's very clear that they can't. The only reason they looked decent throughout the year was because Westbrook was there as a threat....I still think the birds will contend next year despite probably losing one of the corners (vincent or taylor) and Duce Staley, possibly Emmons too..but that just leaves more room for a WR signing (Jackson from Seattle, Owens from SF=not likely...)
The Colts should be pretty good, but that defense really has to get better...Defense usually puts you over the top in the big games.
