Many NFL fans wrote the Philadelphia Eagles off when QB Donovan McNabb went down with a torn ACL. Who would have thought that 36 year old Jeff Garcia would have been able to step in and give the Eagles a shot?
Last night on MNF, over the hill ex-9ers QB Garcia lit up the sky, tossing three touchdowns and finishing with 312 yards in the Eagles 27-24 victory over the Panthers. He looked like the Garcia of old under center, calm, poised, ready to strike. He can still scramble. He can still throw the ball on a rope. And he managed not to crap his pants.
Garcia's spirited effort has helped Andy I-Never-Miss-A-Buffet Reid's Eagles stay in the NFC Wild Card Hunt with a 6-6 record tied with Atlanta, Carolina, and New York.
Can this old man keep them afloat?
Upcoming Games: @ Washington, @ Giants, @ Cowboys, vs. Atlanta.
Keep your eye on Garcia. He's going to be the wild card in the Wild Card Race.
