The TV announcers during the game were slaying the Eagles for that last five minutes of sleepwalking. It was a good tight second-half game between two evenly matched teams until the Eagles lost their drive at the end right when they should've been fighting the hardest to make every second count. No parades in chilly Philly today I guess.
Maybe we should talk about Paul's halftime show instead?

Yeah .... for the life of me, I can't imagine why Andy took such a conservative attitude with the clock at the end. No hustle, no sense of urgency ... seems like they gave all they had and just got exhausted. Hats off to the Pats for confusing the hell out of them(US). This was a great experience, and I'm sure they will feed off it for next year. The better team won, but we sure gave them a run for the money. That 1st Brian Westbrook TD was the most fun I've had since I came home from Florida !

The EAGLES are not loosers, they were there weren't they....I to am wondering why they lost so much time at the last 3 minutes of the game...it seems like they weren't clock watching or didn't care....always next year..

The whole thing stinks to me. The Pats didn't try to make a touchdown when it was 1st down on the four. They tried to cover one of the fastest receivers in the league one on one with a rookie, when all they needed to do was stop the long pass. The point spread was seven. The Pats could have EASILY covered. My skeptical nature is wondering if one or more participants had wagers on the game, or if someone who did have a large bet got to somebody. Probably not. DonM
