McNabb and Redskins Have Something To Prove

Don't let the fact that Donovan McNabb is downplaying his return to Philadelphia fool you. This game is not only big for a Washington Redskins team coming off a pathetic loss to St. Louis, but it is big on a different level for the former Eagles quarterback.

McNabb may be known more for the amount of boos he received from Eagles fans than from being one of the best quarterbacks in the league throughout his 11 seasons in Philadelphia. In 1999, when he was drafted in the first round out of Syracuse, he was booed. Those boos continued until McNabb was traded this off-season to Washington. McNabb may say he doesn't have any hard feelings towards Eagles fans, but how can he really feel that way. He was unappreciated there his entire career, so there is no way that he couldn't feel anything. McNabb may say it's just another game, but in his heart, he wants to beat the Eagles more than anybody.


When Washington (1-2) rolls into Philadelphia (2-1) this game is about the Redskins and Eagles ultimately, but don't you think for a second that McNabb doesn't want a little revenge on his former team and the fans that booed him throughout his 11 years wearing the green and white.
