"McNabb's Reign Likely is Over" - Ashley Fox, Philadelphia Inquirer

"This season is over. That 13-13 tie with the Cincinnati Bengals, a team with one win all season, ensured that the Eagles are going nowhere. The playoffs? Forget about it.

In case McNabb didn't know this either, in all likelihood, his reign here in Philadelphia is just about over. That's not a lock, because Andy Reid is a supremely stubborn and loyal man. But with the Eagles at 5-4-1 - such a 1970s record if there ever was one - we probably are entering the final six-game slate of the McNabb era in Philadelphia ... If the Eagles miss the playoffs for the third time in four years, and there's absolutely no reason to think that they won't, someone has to go."

Since the tie with the Bengals (and the rather embarrassing, now infamous, admission from McNabb that he didn't know that ties existed in the NFL), the Eagles went 4-2 and earned a Wild Card birth for the playoffs. In those final six games, McNabb threw for 9 TDs and recorded a quarterback rating of 105 or higher three times.
