The Eagles made some critical errors that cost them the game. McNabb played poorly, and his errors were the easiest to pick out, but the defence also played poorly. Who the hell was Lito covering on that TD pass? With the Patriot's mistakes they should have been up at halftime.
The clock management in the last 5 minutes was attrocious. My throat is sore from yelling at them to get to the line. What was Westbrook thinking by catching that 1 yrd pass at the end? He should have downed it.
The Pats offence played well in the second half, as did their defence, especially in the first half, but I think the game was ripe for the taking. The Eagles were able to move the ball, but McNabb was off at key times. There were some throws I had no idea who he was throwing too. Bad time to have an off game. The Eagles will be back though. They are 15 million under the cap, have good young players locked up for a long time, and will hopefully shed themselves of Pinkston with the emergence of Greg Lewis.
