Even though they bit the dust post-season wise, it's still hard not to be proud of 'em. Not too many banked confidence in these guys once Super 5, Chunky Soup, Momma's Boy Donovan McNabb went down after one of the most primadonna injuries I've ever seen (did you see the way he fell? It's all-most as if he had planned the whole thing all along!). Jeff Garcia did an admirable job filling in for Donovan and managing the team on and off the field as a leader. The coaches also did a great job on offense finally incorporating a balanced pass/run attack. Hell, if anything, that just makes us more dangerous next year if Andy Reid is willing to run the offense the same way he did with Garcia in at Quarterback (meaning not throwing the ball forty-some times a game).
Just as interesting is what's going to happen to Jeff now that the Eagles are done for the year. Hopefully he'll re-sign with the team and back-up McNabb once more (no Quarterback controversy... spare me). There's been rumour that he'll go to the Vikings, but take that with a grain of salt as that comes from the same people who suggest Donovan might be traded to Minnesota ... obviously, they're still not over losing Daunte Culpepper (who by the way, was tremendous for the Dolphins this year). I just pray - whatever he does, he doesn't end up with Detroit again, talk about being between a rock and hard place.
In light of all that gibberish, you gotta root for the Saints. Not much more of a feel-good story going on than those guys. Certainly not for Mike Vanderjagt, not only did he lose his job with the Cowboys ... but also had to endure Adam Vinatieri looking like the almighty Zeus for the Colts and their fans earlier today against the Ravens [accounted for all the scoring with five field-goals]. Tough luck Mike, tough luck. Maybe one day you'll get another opportunity to prove yourself as a ... ah, nevermind.
