    hopefully the Eagles will start Kolb, but i doubt it. they couldnt care less about the fans. Philadelphia is officially a baseball town now. the PHILLIES are the only team that knows how to win in the clutch. GO PHILLIES!!!!!!!!!

    And somehow, someway the Eagles defense will allow Campbell and TE Chris Cooley to have a monster game Because the Birds have no FS or LB's who can't cover anybody. A cornerback (Samules) who makes Deion Sanders look like Jack Lambert when it comes to tackling. Wonder how many times Reid is going to throw this week with a 2nd string offensive line. Why do I even care anymore about this team?...GO PHILS!

    Put the Tonner in the Kolb camp. The Tonner's not sure that Kolb can bring us to the Promised Land but he is sure what will happen to McNabb in crunch time. The Tonner has seen this movie too many times. Turtle, turtle, yack!

    Who does it matter who they start? All I can say is thank god the Phillies are playing great baseball. Maybe Manuel will coach the Eagles, then we will have a chance to win. To the McNoob lovers. If he is such a great quarterback, pressured or not, why can't he seem to play consistent football?? He will never win us the big game. It is time to move on from this era...

    Who cares if Kubb starts or not? Who cares if McPaid throws into the ground or into the 10th row? The Phillies are doing something the Eagles are NEVER going to do and that's compete for a back-to-back championship! GO FIGHTIN'S!!!!!!

    I want Rodney Peete to start. We've seen this previously. Eagles lose bad game and kill next opponent. McNabb throws for 375, 3 tds and 1 rushing and everybody back on Eagle Express.

    Starting Kolb doesn't guarantee a losing season, the remaining schedule does. Be sure to Tivo the Phils.
