The Eagles will play Donovan McNabb when he is healthy enough to play and there is no doubt that this is the right move, but the only thing that I worry about is rust.

The team is playing great now and I just worry that the adjustment time may take a quarter or a half in that first game, and basically you can't sacrifice that much time for such a huge game. My biggest wish is that Donovan could somehow, some way play in the regular season finally just to get his feet wet again. As we have shown though, we don't need the best QB to win, and even if Donovan isn't the same right away, we know that our running game and defense will keep us in games (and the crowd if we get home-field at the Vet)

You know, if I were the eagles I'd keep feely out there unless he loses one of the last two games (unless mcnabb can come back in week 17.) The only thing worse than not having your starter play is having a cold qb come in. Rembember when the bills tried that crap back in.....98? 99? either way the year that fluite was the starter the whole year then they decide to put rob johnson in for the playoff game. Hell, the same thing happened back in 86. The bears were in the playoffs and rather than play Jim McMahanon who had started most of the year the put the then Rookie Doug Fluitie in to play in the playoffs and got their asses kicked.
