"What kind of gameplan was it to throw the ball 50 times in a close game?"

The kind of game plan that whenever the Iggles run they get dropped for losses!! There must have been at least four plays the Iggles running play lost yardage. Danged Pat's were in the Iggles backfield more than they were, reading their mail. Pat's totally took the Iggles running game away, forcing McNabb to beat them with his arm which he couldn't.

I thoroughly enjoyed the game. 'Bout time we had a competitive Super Bowl. Their clock managment was attrocious and I would lay that solely on Reid. Yet, Not-yet-ready-for-prime-time McNabb will have to shoulder a good part of the loss...three int's and a host of bad, bad throws - sheessh.

Even given all that, the Iggles could still have won that game and they know it. That's got to hurt worse than anything.

Good comments. But still, I don't remember too many designed QB draws, shovel passes, screens etc. And just imagine if Owens was hobbling and ineffective. Amazing they even kept it close.

I think McNabb should have been ordered to scramble more. He's so obsessed with not looking like a "traditional" black scrambling QB that he hurts the team.
