"ONE MIGHT BE THINKING that the Eagles should have won this season’s Super Bowl outright had Donovan McNabb not thrown three interceptions. However, that is who Donovan McNabb is. This would be a moot point to make. Fifty attempts? Yeah, you’d better believe that McNabb – McFavre – will toss three picks given that many opportunities!
Hey, the Eagles’ coaches and coordinators know the game and their personnel best. But when the people that have those jobs have a quarterback who can be expected to complete only about 57% of his throws (based on career numbers and the strength of this particular defense), and do damage to his team the more he throws, why, then, didn’t they insert some planned runs for McNabb? A simple, little quarterback draw? Why didn’t they toss in a reverse to keep the New England defense honest? Why didn’t McNabb have the guts to tuck it in and run every now and then? The Eagles meekly allowed New England to turn McNabb into a pocket passer, where McNabb is, oh, maybe on a level with, say, Dieter Brock? Jeff Kemp?
In the second quarter, when it was obvious that every Philly offensive possession would be 50-50 to end in a McNabb- spasmed turnover, Eagles’ owner Jerry Lurie should have walked calmly from his private box into the Eagles’ coaching booth, ripped the headset off offensive coordinator Brad Childress, grabbed him by the collar with both hands and screamed, 'If you’re gonna let this scatter-armed guy who couldn’t read a defense with oversized type and a magnifying glass pass us out of this game, you can pack up and leave…NOW!' Then, Lurie could have marched down to the playing field and delivered the same message to head coach Andy Reid. This game proved that the pre-Terrell Owens group of Eagles receivers were given a bad rap. Before the Owens trade, the line was always 'he has no receivers.' McNabb twists these poor SOBs into pretzels as they attempt to catch his throws!
The Philadelphia offensive game plan had no guts. Only Terrell Owens showed any.

Ain't that the damn truth. I'm looking forward to Bonds passing Ruth, and the SF giants kicking some Dodger ass
