Congrats Pats fans

Game really could've gone either way.

Eagle fans you guys had a great year and you moved one step further

The one thing i kept telling guys at work was that i thought Mcnabb would have to be a threat with his legs in this game and make big plays on the ground or at least keep drives alive. Donavan had 1 rush for 0 yrds.

    Really ? What game were you watching.
    The final score does not reflect the total domination.
    The last 7 points by the Eagles were basically just garbage time points.

    Sure made a lot of difference to the people who bet on the spread though ...

    Congrats, Pats.

    McNabb had a sub-par game; don't know why. Pats pressured him early, but several of his throws were horrible ducks.

  • Wasn't the score tied after the 3rd qrt ? ?
  • A true wish of congratulations to the Patriots and their fans.

    Garbage points to pull within 3 with a few minutes left? The Patriots three Super Bowls were won by three points. No Pats coach would tell you they were garbage points. Thsi isn't Mike Holmgren giving a team a TD in the Super Bowl so that he can get the ball back and gamble on driving to the winning score (his gamble backfired).

    The Eagles lost two chances to score clutch points at the end of the first half and the last three minutes when they did not run the hurry up offense. Get the ball within 50 yards a let Akers try an FG. The clock is running down and good management will give the Pats no time to score if the kick is not good.

    Sure McNabb made some mistakes, but passed for over 300 yards. Take TO deep earlier in the game and get a TD or FG. Don't waste time trying to run when it hasn't worked yet.

    The coaching staff is to blame, even if the players did not execute as well as needed. Better coaching would have given the players more of an edge.

    No domination here, especially when the win is by three points.
  • The Eagles didn't deserve the win today ... congrats to the better team.

    I agree 100%. I said so in this thread (about the 15th post)! No doubt, the eagles are a great team!
  • No domination here, especially when the win is by three points

    That's the illusion the Pats have on every team they beat, they all think "ah man, we almost had them"

    But it's just that an illusion, somehow the Pats look confortable with a 3 point lead and they just don't lose in the playoffs - heck they have lost a total of 4 games out of 38!

    They have a very conservative style of play. Except for the last Pittsburg game in which they had something to prove, they generally NEVER blow out any team. That's not Belichick's style. They get the lead and then they manipulate and work the clock. Not very flashy or pretty, but the tactic generally works most of the time.

    Congrats Pats fans!

    Tough game and the hangover doesn't help. Hopefully, we'll be playing in the big game next year.

    What game were you watching? Did you bet the Patriots and lose?

  • A good fight by the Eagles. As i said earlier, Reid and Mcnabb blew it. Reid for clock management
    and for keeping with the running game when it was evident it was non existant.
    Mcnabb for the numerous balls thrown off target. The best team won though not by much.
    BTW, loved your kickoff returner. He's a speedster!
