The Donovan McNabb era in Philadelphia all but officially ended Sunday, when he was benched at halftime of a loss to the Ravens in Baltimore.
Adding to the agony for Eagles fans: Andy Reid supposedly didn't actually tell McNabb that he was going to the bench- he left it to assistant coaches- and Kevin Kolb looked just as bad, throwing two interceptions in the second half, including one in the end zone that was returned more than 100 yards for a touchdown.
Where do the Eagles go from here? Who knows? I had thought that Reid's job was safe, but now I'm not so sure- the fans might revolt if he's back next year. Now, I wouldn't completely lose faith in Kolb based on today's performance, but what if he's not the answer?
It's going to be a very ugly couple of months- McNabb's going to depart, and I can't imagine it'll be especially harmonious. I'm just wondering how many WIP callers this week suggest that Ravens defensive coordinator Rex Ryan replace Reid- the living-in-the-past contingent of fans who love Buddy Ryan would love that.
