BALTIMORE – Philadelphia Eagles quarterback Donovan McNabb was benched after the first half of Sunday's game against the Baltimore Ravens following a miserable performance in which he committed three turnovers and failing to produce any points.

McNabb was 8-for-18 for 59 yards and two interceptions and a fumble — a miserable 13.2 quarterback rating.

One week earlier, he threw three interceptions and lost a fumble in an overtime tie with Cincinnati.

After that game, the 10-year veteran said he didn't realize an NFL game could end in a tie.

With the Eagles down 10-7 at halftime Sunday, Philadelphia coach Andy Reid turned to Kevin Kolb, a second-round pick who didn't throw a pass as a rookie last year and had attempted nine throws this season.

In fairness to McNabb, he didn't get much support from the running game: the Eagles had 35 yards rushing in the first half, and McNabb had 7 of them.

He used to be one of my favorite QB but I don't know WTH is going on with him. Is he too old? Did he lose his form? Couple weeks back, against Giants, he couldn't throw a ball for 2 freakin' yards yet he is getting paid for millions of dollars every year?? Something needs to be done.
