That is the difference between winners and losers. Four years ago when the Patriots won their first Super Bowl, they were huge underdogs to the Rams, but they hung in there and right at the end they drove down the field to kick the game winning field goal.
I was shocked when the Eagles were using a huddle with 5 minutes to go and needing two scores. Sure, that isn't the ideal situation to be in, but it isn't the end of the world either. I have seen teams come back from 30 point defecits with a half to go to actually win the game. I believe the last one was the Jets against Miami. Miami was on the losing end of that one.
The Eagles didn't show me a thing, and if McNabb was that sick he should have let the backup QB play. If it wasn't for an illegal contact penalty, he would have thrown 4 ints., then again, I guess he wouldn't have thrown the second because the first would have stopped that drive. Anyway, how much worse could a backup have done.
