Credit should rightly go to the Pats 'D' as well.

Maybe McNabb is overrated.

Its not McNabb's fault. The first turnover was his fault, but the Eagles never got a running game going due to the Pats defense. By the half the Eagles were one -dimensional and eventually thye were going to force a bad decision from McNabb into mistakes, which they did.

Good for the Pats. Happy here the Philly trophy case remains empty.

I think that's probably accurate but you should take into account the fact that they put up 21 points on a very good defense.
To: gopwinsin04
Did anyone notice that early in the game McNabb left the huddle, went up to the center and had never fastened his chin strap for the play? I knew then he was nervous.

With any lesser defense, he would be doing fine. Personally I thought Phillie did as well as they could given their opponent. It was a great game, and not typical for superbowls which have not always been as competitive as this one was. The Pats earned their victory.

So, how did Freddy Mitchell do, and did he ever give whatever it was to Harrison like he planned?

The Iggles are not known for their rushing game in pressure games, right?
To: gopwinsin04
Credit for the failure should got to Andy Reid as well. What kind of gameplan was it to throw the ball 50 times in a close game?

Perhaps Mom should have made him some soup before the big game?

"Maybe McNabb is overrated. "
I think so.
I always ask - will McNabb be a Joe Montana, John Elway or a Joe Namath?
Some people answer Yes.
To: Phantom Lord
Maybe McNabb is overrated. What are you, some kind of racist? ;)

Did anybody else notice that the Eagles basically gave up 3 points by letting the clock run down when they had 1 minute before the half. They got into feild goal range but didnt have time to kick a field goal because they had let the clock run down earlier in the drive. What was the point of that?

I saw TO screaming at McNabb to 'relax' after that bad 4th quarter INT..
To: ElectricStrawberry
Rodney Harrison will do that to ya.Didn't 3 Eagle TD passes go through Rodney's area? He looked kinda ticked on the sidelines after each one of them.

The Pats D was solid, and the Eagles D kept the point total down.
The Pats offense was efficient, and the Eagles receivers were making some very impressive catches. Westbrook made up for low rushing numbers with a good receiving effort.
McNabb was the only one with a "shaky" day. 21 incomplete passes, 3 INT's and 3 others that were close.
