This tongue in cheek story aside, I can't help but wonder if the Eagles are making a strategic decision to rest McNabb this week. As Mike Florio recently noted "It's not like Philly is going to win at Gillette Stadium with him; the team will be better off if he sits one out and then is available for the stretch run."

JETS ANNOUNCE "STRATEGIC FORFEIT" AGAINST PATRIOTS
November 23,2007 - Hempstead, NY - New York Jets officials today announced that they would forfeit the their upcoming game against the New England Patriots scheduled to take place next month in Foxboro, MA. Jets Coach Eric Mangini justified the unprecedented move to abandon the December 16th game by suggesting it is in the team's best interest to do so.
"Really, when you think about it, what's the point?" said Mangini, once referred to as fans as "Mangenius" though now more often heard referred to as "MangIdiot" within the Meadowlands. "We already know we're going to lose - and chances are we're going to lose badly, with the team humiliated and any confidence we have left destroyed. The odds-makers are already predicting we'll be 30-40 point underdogs, potentially putting us in the record books as the most over-matched team ever."
"The best thing we can do is simply stay home, get some rest, prepare for our game against the Titans, and hold onto what little is left of our dignity," concluded Mangini.
