Corell Buckholter was a better rb by the end of the year. Most of the local press was calling for Buckholter to get the ball more. The Eagles offense would be fine if Andy Kotite would run the ball. The Eagles O line is built to run but Andy KOtite has games in which he passes 25 STRAIGHT times(Chargers a couple yrs ago) or 15 straight times this year vs the Redskins. Then when the team is trailing with no timeouts and the team is running the 2 minute drill Andy KOtite strarts running the ball. F'ing brilliant. With 10 seconds left in the game and no timeouts the ball on the 20 Troy Aikman specifically points out that Kordell McNabb has to go for the endzone or the clock won't stop and the Eagles will lose. What does Kordell do? He throws a 19 yard pass and the clock runs out and the Eagles lose.
Your point about Farve is 100% on the money. Farve was selected to the Pro Bowl and most Jets fans want to get rid of him. It is a popularity contest.

How did you guys do in the games where Westbrook didn't play? I want to say that yall we 0-4 when he didn't play. Without him all of the Eagles check down/ screen options are eliminated and as we all know McNabb is terrible against the Blitz. Buckhalter may be as good of a runner as Westbrook but in a west coast style offense it is far more important to have a running back who is a threat on screen plays.
