the great ed reed missed the last tackle on the first long 3rd down conversion the Steelers picked up.

Reed was absolutely invisible tonight.

Darn, I was hoping to have you see the Packers in PGH and you could hook me up with a few tickets in CHI town to see the Steelers.

I believe at this point McNabb has better career numbers than Aikman, with far less talent around him.

You could be right Hoss, Aikman sure seemed bitter yesterday.

Aikman is very inconsistent IMO. Some of his games, I walk away thinking he is the best out there, others like yesterday, not so much.

He's still better than that babbling idiot Madden.

Its not his fault... But a better performance
and the Eagles would have won. He certainly did
not have an outstanding game despite what the
statistics might show.

Personally that no call on the pass to Curtis I would have called
interference. That 4th down pass was on the money.

McNabb did not lose the game for us... the D did... but his stats look better than he did. 1st half was miserable. And Akers lost his mind.

I guess my issue with McNabb is he never seems serious out there. I know I'm reaching, and he's a great talent. but, they're getting beat all game and he's laughing it up. Then you have the phone nonsense last week. I just question the guy mentally sometimes and wonder if he's able to keep it all together for an extended amount of time.

That is my problem with him also. Sure he's rediculously talented, but he doesnt seem to be the smartest QB ever.

My BIGGEST problem with him is that he never has and never will win the big game. 5 NFC Championship games and 4 losses is not an accomplishment in my eyes. he didnt lose this game for the birds but he is a choker.

and I'm really getting sick of this no talent around him BULLSHIT. sure he may have not always had the best WR's (eventhough this years WR's are pretty good), but find another team out there besides the Pats who have had a better Defense, O-line, and runningback (Westbrook) in the last 10 years. the no talent **** is ****ing crazy and rediculous. So they had a terrific Defense, & great offense save some WR's yet poor McNabb has no talent and did all this **** himself Dala you have no idea what you are talking about.

watching the game and now just watching the highlights. DM played very well, IMO. he throws some of the most accurate, pretty deep passes in the game. gets enough air under the ball, allows the WR to run under it in stride. appreciate what you have philly fans.

he played very well in the second half. very poor passes in the first half. our D lost this game in the first half for us and Akers didnt help. DM can throw the deep ball just fine... its those 5 yard passes that seem so hard for him. Its confusing.


I'm sick of getting my hopes up just to get my heart broken. like i said, 4 losses in the NFC championship game is nothing to be proud of.

A healthy Westbrook would have helped as well, but too big of a first half hole to dig out of. When AZ can run the ball, bad things are going to happen.

I really don't think you can blame McNabb for this one. If I told all the Eagles fans that the iggs would score 25 before the game, most of you would have been booking air fare for Tampa. You hear alot about that Eagles defense (it's jusified they are a very good group), but they needed to make one more stand. They needed one guy to make a play and they couldn't get it done. To his credit Mcnabb looked like he was going to drive them right back. I still think Jackson short armed the 3rd down pass and Curtis should have had that ball on 4th down (I know there was some contact, but he still has to make that play). But bottom line is that the defense lost that game for the birds yesterday.
