Ya know, I've never been a hug McNabb fan.  Dumb decisions...no decisions...never wins late...  But I have to say - this year, IMO, was one of his best overall.  Aside from that terrible stretch (and it was terrible), he was actually very good; very efficient.  I saw FAR less balls at the feet...balls overthrown...bad sacks...  Until the Cards game.  And then he threw some off-target stuff...but not THAT off target.

This was a bad year for dropped balls, hurt screen targets (ahem - Westbrook), tenuous TE situation, no fullback.

People will forget that that game was lost by Jimmy Johnson, the defense, horrific tackling (yo, Dawk), pressure on McNabb when the Cards rushed, good pass coverage when the Cards didn't, dropped balls, and our being out-special-teamed by a crappy special teams team.  In that order.

Donovan had as little to do with the outcome of that game as most anyone else on the team.

The Eagles lost because Jim Johnson got PWNED in the playoffs.  Again.


Thirty-two freaking points.  And, after McNabb cleaned up the D's 1st half mess, the Cardinals simply walked down the field.  That 3rd-and-goal looked like slow-mo...

"Som-m-m-m-mbody st-t-t-top him-m-m-m..."

Pathetic.

It wasn't McNabb's best game, but it was good enough to win.  Yeah, he missed some guys, but those three TD drives were nice and...

Kevin Curtis?

You better be out catching a LOT of balls this summer, bro.

Eagles are you pining for your fellow PAs to trounce the Cardinals?
