Exactly. Never mind the fact that He threw for 375 yards and 3 tds and his best receiever was a guy named Celek. Oh...and by the way...the defense allowed 32 points and they were all on long drives.

On the drive to tie with time he threw two more
very bad passes with wonderful protection He was
very good except for the first and last parts of the game.
Its not his fault... But a better performance
and the Eagles would have won. He certainly did
not have an outstanding game despite what the
statistics might show.

Personally that no call on the pass to Curtis I would have called
interference. That 4th down pass was on the money.

Kurt usually fumbles the ball but this time it was McNabb. Kurt is usually good for at least one interception but McNabb well...

Don't want their heads at all. But if you dont think we were outcoached and outschemed, then I suggest you watch the game again. They'll both be back and I'll love every second of it.

Great game. What a tale of 2 halves. Turned out we couldnt stop them when it mattered most. It could have went either way...Valiant effort by both teams.

Congrats, Card fan(s)!

ugghhh...Always next year...:rolleyes:...I was looking forward to bumping the prediction thread for Scav...:D

Just ask Troy Aikman, the guy had nothing positive to say about Mcnabb the whole game.

Thats Aikman isnt it? I wonder what Aikman would have accomplished if given the same tools to work with that McNabb had.

It almost seemed personal didnt it?

It seemed very blatant and personal to me.

I thought that Jackson alligator armed that 3rd down pass on the final drive.

You really have to give both teams credit. Eagles could have just laid down, but they put themselves in contention to win the game. Then for the Cards to march down the field after doing nothing the second half and score when it counted. Just a tremendous job/game by 2 teams who were supposed to be long gone by now. Congrats on great season by both and good luck to the Cards in 2 weeks.

Misused Statistics yet again.
The Ravens have never lost a playoff
game if allowing the opposition 10 pts.
or less...

How enlightening.

Any team that holds the opposition in todays
game to 10 or fewer points is very likely to win
a playoff game. The Ravens did not play in the
day of the Bears and Giants 1963 or 1934

Who in the heck comes up with these useless
bits of trivia?

They have fans?
Seems like everyone that lives in that area
comes from somewhere else.
The crowd noise seemed pretty loud on the tube though.

MaTH716 01-18-2009 07:30 PM

That's one of the worst calls I have ever seen. Not even the 5 yard kind. They give them 15 on a personal foul, just awful!

pgardn 01-18-2009 07:34 PM

Thank you LImus Sweed for faking an injury
and costing the Steelers 3 pts.

He didn't cost them 3, he had a sure 7 in his hands. The 3 they blew at the end was a gift from the zebras. That's a poor job by Big Ben throwing the ball in the middle of the field with 10 secs left.

True. But he compounded the -6 with the fake.
He cost them one.
A very important one.
BTW I went to UT.
I should like LImus.
But that kind of crap, he has pulled that before.

Was a horrible call on the roughing the punter though...
So I guess that balances out.

the QB's get a lot of credit when things go right. ever since his benching, we've all heard over and over how mcnabb got this team turned around...it's the flip side of success-of course he's going to get the brunt of it when they don't win. doesn't seem terribly fair to his teammates that he gets all the glory, but i doubt they mind when he gets all the blame.

How did a brother get the last name "Sweed?"

They ran out of Johnsons & Williams.

Polamalu has definitely played the better game in comparison to Ed Reed. If one were to watch this game alone, I dont think there would be much discussion as to who is better. Troy plays the whole field.
