Read between the lines here, folks: “I hope we are able to secure some playmakers in all three phases of the game. Maybe some of those playmakers are already on the roster but have struggled with injuries, myself included, that have held us back a little. You can’t argue with how the Patriots went outside their locker room and stocked up on playmakers last year. It certainly helped to have Randy Moss, Donte Stallworth, Wes Welker and Adalius Thomas making plays for them all year.”

D-Mac – that guy’s so smart. Brilliant move. Teams and GMs are often as heartless as a crack den when it comes to how they treat players, so might as well lob the first grenade, right? Philly must make a decision on their franchise QB this off-season, and Feb. 4th isn’t here yet, and McNabb has backed the Iggles into a corner with a post on a blog! (This is the wave of the future for athletes – controlling the message – if you refuse to believe it, your loss.) If Philly decides to part ways with McNabb, there will be a large portion of the fanbase that asks, ‘why didn’t the team do more to help McNabb?’ If Philly keeps McNabb and doesn’t spend money on some quality free agents, and doesn’t reach the playoffs, then he’s got an out – why didn’t we improve the team? Win-win, baby.

The only comeback Eagles brass may have: The Packers didn’t go out and load up on players to help Brett Favre, and they finished 13-3 after a going 4-12 in 2005 and 8-8 in 2006.
