I admit to having a soft spot for Mike. He’s one of the good people in the league and I root for him to win. I was hopeful the Seahawks would send Mike out the same way Marquette did former basketball coach Al McGuire, winning the national title in the last game he coached.

I think what Reid learned after that game was that McNabb needs help – help from a running game and help from his wideouts – and that the burden of winning can’t be placed on the power of his right arm alone.
