Instead he just kept adding fuel to the fire.
Not sure if he's just not a great communicator, funny because normally his style is very Belichick like in that he doesn't offer up much of anything. Or maybe this was all to give McNabb a public kick in the pants since private ones haven't worked, regardless of what his plan was right now it just looks bad. If McNabb heats up and the team wins 9-10 games it probably goes away. If not it's only going to fester the rest of the way and end in a one and done for #5.

I think you're right on here Matty.
In my own opinion, I don't think DM has a god image but I think the fact that he felt needed here would have helped him more than (Your just another number round here with sheriff Shanny in town.)
I think he responded well to being benched in Philly because of the mutual respect with Andy. But personally, I don't think he is going to respond to the public slap on the hand by Shanny.
