<P> Week after week, Andy Reid had come under criticism for the Eagles' lack of dedication to a running game and overworking an injured Donovan McNabb, who was on pace to break the records for all - time passing attempts and completions . The Eagles had also allowed themselves to get behind in the first quarters of games, only to end up fighting from behind in the remaining quarters . Some analysts speculated the Eagles' problems were due to not finding replacements for former defensive linemen Corey Simon and Derrick Burgess, poor pass rush, poor special teams, and the contract disputes with Brian Westbrook and Terrell Owens, along with Owens' virtually weekly controversies . They had also been hindered by injuries to McNabb, Correll Buckhalter, Todd Pinkston, Lito Sheppard, Dirk Johnson, and David Akers . </P> <P> On November 4, 2005, on ESPN, Terrell Owens criticized the Eagles front office for not recognizing his 100th touchdown catch . He also agreed with Michael Irvin's statement that the Eagles would be undefeated had Brett Favre been the quarterback . Despite Owens's apology the next day to the front office (but not to McNabb), he was suspended indefinitely . There were also reports that he got into a fist fight with Hugh Douglas and challenged other players in the locker room which contributed to his suspension . At Andy Reid's press conference after the Washington loss, he announced T.O. would no longer be playing this year for the Eagles due to conduct detrimental to the team . </P> <P> Things only got worse for the Eagles . They lost a Sunday night match - up to their division rival, the Washington Redskins 17 - 10 . Then, when they went home and played a rematch with their much - hated rival, the Cowboys, on Monday Night Football, a late game interception by Roy Williams sealed their doom . Not only did they lose 21 - 20, but the already suffering Donovan McNabb got shoved to the ground, worsening his sports hernia and ending his season . </P> <P> On November 20, former Detroit quarterback Mike McMahon was named the Eagles starter . However, his wild gun passing didn't do much to phase the Giants, as the Eagles went down again 27 - 17 . Then, on November 21 Donovan McNabb announced that he would undergo surgery for his sports hernia . The Eagles would finish the season without at least eight of their projected starters heading into the season, including Pinkston, Hank Fraley, Dirk Johnson, and Pro Bowlers McNabb, Brian Westbrook, Lito Sheppard, Tra Thomas, and the exiled Owens . </P>

When was the last time the eagles played
