disgusting clock management, disturbing play calls... it was their game to win, and they totally blew it. awful.
I have to agree it was poorly managed. I kept thinking that Reid and McNabb were so afraid of making a mistake on that drive and REALLY ending the game that they insisted on huddling up. Donovan made some very questionable throws in the first half, so perhaps he and Andy were keyed into that and didn't want to go down in Super Bowl lore with making a major mistake.
I'm more critical of the onside kick after the Eagles' last touchdown. They would have been in better field position if they'd kicked it away (given if they'd still held the Pats to 3-and-out).
We all wear a green carnation.
