I'm sure those Philly fans will want both McNabb's & Reids' head

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.

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......I was looking forward to bumping the prediction thread for Scav...

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.

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!

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

He sukked at the beginning of the game.
He had two receivers open for touchdowns if the
ball was catchable.

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...

very brilliant post by pgardn

McNabb did not lose the game for us... the D did... but his stats look better than he did. 1st half was miserable. And Akers lost his mind.

watching the game and now just watching the highlights. DM played very well, IMO. he throws some of the most accurate, pretty deep passes in the game. gets enough air under the ball, allows the WR to run under it in stride. appreciate what you have philly fans.

he played very well in the second half. very poor passes in the first half. our D lost this game in the first half for us and Akers didnt help. DM can throw the deep ball just fine... its those 5 yard passes that seem so hard for him. Its confusing.


I'm sick of getting my hopes up just to get my heart broken. like i said, 4 losses in the NFC championship game is nothing to be proud of.

A healthy Westbrook would have helped as well, but too big of a first half hole to dig out of. When AZ can run the ball, bad things are going to happen.

But, it could be worst if you were a Bills fan.....

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.
