Eagles fans will boo anything. From Santa Claus to their starting quarterback, who for the past 11 seasons had been Donovan McNabb.
So imagine the reception for McNabb when he arrives Sunday as a Redskin. Hey, maybe the fans will surprise us and show their appreciation for everything McNabb has done for them for the last decade and more: seven playoff berths, five NFC East titles, five NFC title games and a Super Bowl appearance.
Nah. The only cheering we'll hear is when the Eagles pound him to the ground.
Philly is favored by 6 1/2 points. Not because Michael Vick, resurgence and all, is having a better start than Donovan -- although McNabb did not have his best game when the Redskins lost in St. Louis last week. It's because the Eagles are simply a better team, no matter who's the QB. Some Washingtonians got excited over the opening-night win over Dallas but others didn't -- knowledgeable fans (and the Redskins have them) know McNabb needs more weapons on offense.
