There's a lot more wrong with Philly than just Mcnabb and T.O.... and problems with Mcnabb are only accentuated by the fact that Reid makes no attempt to proliferate a running game.

They are 2nd worst in the league in rushing yards and also in rushing attempts per game. Andy Reid deserves all of the criticism that he gets for the way he runs the team.

You'd think that with a hobbled QB and decimated WR corpse, he might try to run the ball a bit to relieve some pressure from the wound.... right?

What does Reid do? The same thing he always does.... focus on a passing game. What's worse, is that the RB's in Philly are all healthy.. meaning that Reid came into the season with this as his plan.

It's not like some of the past years, where Staley, Buckhalter and other guys were all hurt so they might have reverted to a pass-oriented attack out of necessity.

It's not going to be too hard to stop a team that passes all the time with a not-soo-accurate QB running the show. Play contain on Mcnabb and drop a bunch of guys back into pass coverage... eventually he'll throw it to your DB's or be forced into a quick punting situation.
