Did anybody else notice that the Eagles basically gave up a field goal by letting the clock run down when they had 1 minute before the half? They got into feild goal range but didnt have time to kick a field goal because they had let the clock run down earlier in the drive. What was the point of that? Was the coach watching the game? Was Mcnabb paying attention?
It looked to me like a chess match in which one of the players(the Eagles) wasn't looking at the board before they moved.

They did that in a previous playoff game against the Vikings too. They had 10 seconds left at 5 yard line, and instead of kicking for 3 points, McNabb ran a play and the half expired.

Their "2-minute" drill of hurry up offense was the worst I had ever seen in an NFL game.

Someone better teach these million-dollar players what a no-huddle offense is, or at least teach them to call 2 plays at once during a huddle.

Yes. My father-in-law was going crazy over the Eagles' timing during the last few minutes. He couldn't understand the waste of time.

The Eagles' clock management and "slow down" two minute offense in Super Bowl 39 will make two great training videos: "How NOT to manage the clock" and "Taking it easy when the chips are down."

It was really pathetic. I didn't care who won, but I kept thinking "These are the two best teams in the NFL?"
