McNabb: Eagles made mistake (video)
Sheil Kapadia, Philly.com
Redskins coach Mike Shanahan gave Donovan McNabb the game ball in the locker room after their 17-12 victory over the Eagles yesterday.
McNabb told his teammates that the victory was all about the team. He thanked the defense and said the offense will get it together, starting with him.
McNabb added that the 'Skins are atop the NFC East and are going to stay there. But the final sentence of his speech is what will probably interest the group here.
"Everybody makes mistakes in their lifetime, and they [the Eagles] made one last year," McNabb said as his teammates responded with "Absolutely!"
The video is below.
And earlier, I posted Man Up on the defense.

I don't miss: him, the worm burners, Sam & Wilma, Chunky Soup, vomit, the Air Guitar, Black on Black crime, keep my name out ya mouth, the Hopkins snub, the superbowl choke, the lapses in concentration, the open receivers missed downfield, we could go on...but why? Thanks for the memories, just go.— dragoon6
Comment removed.- McNabb was moved because of the importance the Eagles give to the age/diminishing skills factor. No Eagle player is exempt from this. This is very difficult for McNabb to accept as it would be for many players that prefer to finish their careers as an Eagle. McNabb had a pretty good run in Phila. and was an extraordinary QB (maybe not extraordinary enough for some fans). Not many NFL QBs enjoy the level of success that he did. The ovation he received on Sunday clearly indicates Philadelphia's appreciation for what he did when he was an Eagle. And he deserved it.— Beck
- Trading McNabb wasn't about winning now. That's why I thought it was short-sighted to start Vick over Kolb. But McNabb does have a legitimate point - he wasn't great yesterday, but if the Eagles had him on their side yesterday they would have won.— p-diddy
- Comment removed.
- True that McNabb didn't necessarily win this game, but he did what he had to when there was a chance for points. How many times did Klob not look at jackson or maclin downfield when they were open? Klob just looked scared the whole game. I swear we went about a quarter without attempting to throw to a wide receiver. Maclin and Jackson's number of touches explains why we lost.— ssmith0
McNabb this, McNabb that, McNabb's team is leading the division. He threw for 427 again Houston. U blame him for the loss. He plays a poor game. U dont give him credit for the win. Thats why I am happy he moved on. His stats might not be the great but his teams wins games. Djax was so vocal about Kolb and their youth...His facial expressions really tell the story...I guess all that YAC they were talkin about is on the shelves at Wine & Spirits...Go Eagles but u reap what u sow— ewsavage
No secure person says this. That is why he fails when his team needs him most. That is why the majority of fans wanted him out. Slow-thinking Andy needed 5 extra seasons to see this.- No matter what, the haters will have something bad to say about a true class act. The bottom line is he is right and that he's a winner, even when he doesn't bring his A-game. In the other hand, Vick better get healthy soon, because Kevin Kolb will get our receivers (if he can throw to them) and running backs killed with his weak short throws. Did you guys noticed DeSean Jackson screaming while pointing a finger in KK chest after they had to punt?— EL Zorro
- McNabb made his typical mistakes in this game but Andy made even more. Eagles got beat by the one thing Andy hates...a running game.— mibrze
- I've always been a Donovan fan. But, it was time for him to leave Philly. Donovan had seen many prime-time players leave because of the Reid/Banner philosophy; maybe he thought he would be the exception...But he's on the sensitive side, so he's still hurting...should watch GF1: "It's not personal , Sonny, it's strictly business"— Polecat_39
Would not have mattered if we still had McNabb and the Deadskins still had Cambpell. Last Sunday Shanahan beat Reid, period. The only mistake the Iggles made was not getting rid of Andy and his staff of stiffs too.— tornadoh- PHILLY FANS ARE THE DUMBEST THIN SKINNED AUTOMATONS IN THE LEAGUE. YOUR IQ'S MATCH YOUR WAIST SIZE. THAT'S WHY I'M GLAD I MOVED OUT OF FILTHY-DELPHIA. MCNABB IS BETTER THAN BOTH OF YOUR QB'S AND NO MATTER WHAT YOU SAY....THE SCORE IS MCNABB 1....EAGLES O. THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN YOUR COACH AND OUR COACH IS THE FACT THAT OUR COACH REALIZES THE IMPORTANCE OF THE RUNNING GAME, CLOCK MGNT, AND GAME PLANNING. WHY FORCE MCNABB TO THROW WITH THE LEAD WHEN THE EAGLES CANT STOP THE RUN? THE WHOLE LEAGUE POINTS TO THE LACK OF COMMITMENT TO THE RUNNING GAME AND OVER-HYPED QB'S AS THE REASON FOR LOSES. CONGRATS. AND YOU WILL FINISH LAST IN THE DIVISION AND WILL NEVER....EVER....EVER WIN A SUPERBOWL...EVEN THE NEW ORLEAN SAINTS WON A CHAMPIONSHIP BEFORE YOUR CRAPPY CITY. THOSE ARE THE FACTS JACK. BUT AT LEAST YOU PHILLY FANS WILL DIE A SLOW AND PAINFUL DEATH THIS YEAR-GO FEED YOUR FACES CHEESE STEAKS OR CAKES. EITHER WAY....THE BEST FOOTBALL TEAM IN PHILLY IS TEMPLE.— McNabbisbetterthanyouareWOLF
Same old McNabb. Still carries the Garbage Can around his neck. He still can't believe he's a 'skin and Daddy Reid is not around to hold his hand. The mistake was keeping Andy Reid as the Head Choke during the games. Same clock mismanagement, poor play calling, and no offensive adjustments. In reality, the 'skins punished the Eagles..— NRGjunk- Don't you think that you are sensationalizing the word a little bit.— rl-eagles
