Who's under more pressure in Philadelphia -- Andy Reid or Donovan McNabb?

It's Reid, by a nose. He has taken the Eagles to three straight NFC Championship Games, which is great. But he has lost three straight NFC Championship Games, which is not. Reid's all-for-one-and-one-for-all approach took the Eagles far ... but not far enough. Which is why he took on controversial Terrell Owens and defensive end Jevon Kearse, who has suited up for exactly 18 of his past 32 games. Heck, Reid even took back linebacker Jeremiah Trotter, whom he released two years ago when Trotter demanded megabucks.
Reid ran an egalitarian operation, and he ran it well. The only problem was that it didn't take the Eagles beyond the front porch, which is why Owens and Kearse are here. Owens is a terrific playmaker, but he must be handled carefully. Kearse is a terrific playmaker, too ... when he plays. Give Reid credit for having the guts to take chances, but as with any gamble there's a risk -- and pity poor Brad Childress if T.O. dissects the play
