First of all, the word is “berth” as in position, not “birth” as in the arrival of a baby.

Second, the Eagles didn’t win an NFC championship since November 2008. They made it to the NFC title game and lost to Arizona. (Losing in the NFC title game: something we’re all too familiar with.) Third, “still going,” Yes. “Strong,” Not very.

Face the facts: the combination of Andy Reid and Donovan McNabb is toxic to the Eagles’ Super Bowl hopes. If McNabb leaves, another quarterback (maybe Kolb, maybe someone else, but not Vick) could win a Super Bowl for the Eagles with Reid around, and McNabb could win it if he lands with the right team and coaching staff. If Reid leaves, McNabb could win here. But Reid is clearly going nowhere. We’ll see if his talk about keeping McNabb is true or not. But this much is obvious by now: Reid and McNabb together will never win the Super Bowl.
