This game had all the look of a fix if I believed in that.

you can fix drops and misses, not catches and kicks. the packers lost to a better team, why can no one deal with this?

I don't really think it was a fix. But the truth is the Eagles were outplayed by the Pack in that game. It wasn't even close. The Pack ran the ball down the Eagles throat all day. They sacked the QB 8 times. Yes, the Eagles deserve credit for finding a way to stay in the game, and McNabb pulled a couple of miracle plays out of his butt. But they weren't the better team as you put it. They needed a near-miracle 27 yard hail mary to avoid a defeat that would have left all of Philly cursing McNabb and his team once again. Not to mention a gift of a floated pass by Favre, and the refusal of Sherman to go for 1 yard to seal the game.

Because they saw the game? Just be content that Philly survived and lived to play another game. (And I'm not a Packers fan.)

"the packers lost to a better team, why can no one deal with this?"

NEWSFLASH: "Successful" 4th and 26's are NOT made by an offense, but BLOWN by a defense.

If not for that absurd anomoly, we'd be talking about the patently impotent Eagle offense with NO passing game, and McNabbs propensity to have turned every pass play into a Chinese fire-drill against a mediocre Green Bay defense.

Someone like Bill Belicheck and his Patriots would shut the Eagles down COMPLETELY. (Oh, I forgot -- he's ALREADY proven that this year)

Better team?

With a team that rushed for over 200 yards against an Eagles defense, and had 7 sacks against McNabb?

Better team?

The Packers should have nailed this victory down early but couldn't. (Green tripped over Whale's feet on 4th and goal, otherwise he would have scored.)

I think they both played poorly at times, but I wouldn't say the Eagles were the better team.

I know... I know... who's going to the championship game.

Good luck on Sunday...
