Would have it made a difference? Maybe, maybe not. The Giants didn't make the plays today, the Eagles did.

Westbrook and the Eagles D absolutely destroyed the Giants yesterday. McNabb didnt do anything fantastic and threw a LOT of balls in the dirt... but at least he didnt make any huge mistakes.
The only part of the game that the Giants played better than the Birds was special teams.
two dropped passes would have made absolutely no difference yesterday. The Giants would have not scored one offensive point had the Birds not been in the PREVENT the last minute of the game when it did not matter anymore.
Giants are still the team to beat in the NFL though. But it was nice to see the Birds manhandle a powerhouse.
