[TeleStraightShooter]

The Carolina middle is open...

Who's McNabb? The Eagles started Michael Vick in this game.

Even not catching it can have good effect. If you're taking stabs down field the opposing D must respect the deep threat, which keeps guys away from the line and is really helpful with a scrambling QB. IMHO teams with good scrambling QBs should take 3 stabs deep a quarter.

There's that famous Philadelphia choke. 1-2-3 punt.

[JAWs]

May the better team win this game... AND THEN LOSE TO THE PATS IN THE SUPERBOWL!

[Dog]

He has all day..

I just got here. Has anyone pointed out that McNabb is overated by the press because of their desire to have a black quarterback succeed?

Hmmmm... not yet... but based on today's AFC Championship game, I am wondering if Peyton Manning is overrated because the press wants a white QB to succeed. LOL.

"No one pays to see punters, but there has been some pretty good punting so far..."

Remember that Rams game during their SB year when a foot never touched the ball (I think both kickers were injured)? They went for it every 4th down and went for 2 every TD -- IIRC it was like a 50+ point game.

[NittanyLion]

Bet the Panthers don't come out with three consecutive passes like the last drive...

[TeleStraightShooter]

I am noticing that the two nose guards for Carolina are puging the middle, preventing McNabb runs up the middle.

"Who's McNabb? The Eagles started Michael Vick in this game."

Vick is playing? I thought he had a permanent injury.

[discostu]

Oh Leaf has talent, he played the Chargers like a fiddle to get a huge front loaded contract and a lot of money to not do squat. That takes a certain amount of talent of the used car salesman variety.

[nhoward14]

They fed him some Chunky soup and he recovered.

[CyberCowboy777]

With that kind of time he'll make a big one soon enough.

[LearnsFromMistakes]

Heads up play. wow.

[freedumb2003]

Leaf talent=Brittney Spears talent=Madonna talent

[Poser]

Actually, McNabb is a pretty good quarterback. He's no Joe Montana, but he's good enough to win a Superbowl. I don't think many coaches would bench him.

Vick has flashes of Montana when he's healthy.

[discostu]

I don't think throwing three times was a mistake. No matter how one sided your success is you shouldn't become one sided in play calling... until you're nursing a fat lead of course then it's run every down.
