He threw 5, the Pats dropped 2 that were right in their chest.
That's true, but the net result is that half of FR has become rabid McNabb-haters in the hopes of justifying their idol Rush. That's unfortunate and not fair to McNabb, who's not a bad guy.
DCPatriot says after watching McNabb in the closing minutes...he tried to throw up too!
Actually another point that seems to have gotten lost is the Pats' loss of Eugene Wilson to injury midway through the game.
Their defensive secondary was already decimated and the loss of Wilson was huge but they somehow were able to overcome that loss. They deserve a lot of credit just for that alone.
You got that right! bttt
He's really strong. That helped him in NFL Europe. He's hard to sack. He's not real mobile, though, and he can't pass accurately. He has a cannon like Favre, though.
Maybe next year the Patriots safeties will be able to play an entire Super Bowl.
I think Roethlisberger played a better game against the Pats.
The what trophy? I thought I heard someone say they were in the process of renaming it the Belichick Trophy.
Uh, no, it isn't the media giving McNabb all of the credit; it's recognition of the fact that the Patriots had a running game and the Eagles did not. Other than McNabb's passing, Philly had no offense. That's a fact.
Also, plenty of people in the media are dumping all over McNabb after the loss, so that should be taken into account also.
I thought it was just bad karma, but you could be right. ;-)
Wowsers. That would be like when the Aussies won the America's Cup and were going to run over it with a bulldozer and call it the Australian Plate. Just doesn't sound the same. Just d*mn...

He's sort of like Drew Bledsoe in that sense (obviously much MUCH more mobile). But the same poor decision making. The same dead duck INT's. The same telegraphing of his passes. The same deer in the headlight look.
1-4 in Championship games, with a slew of INTs = Overrated.
Sorry. One click too many...
I know where the granite is afraid reading that stupid comment.
All this criticism of McNabb! While the SB was clearly not his best game, he played a hell of a lot better against the Patriots than QBs like Manning. If nobody elese wants him, I would love to see McNabb play for my Broncos. In fact there are a lot of parallels to McNabb and Elway such as their styles of play, the types of criticism they have received, and they way they handle themselves with class on and off the field.
