And the Eagles season is saved by a terrible rule and blown call.

This is embarassing. McNabb's second grounding call in two weeks. Eagles keep shooting themselves in the foot. Ghosts of NFC Championships past are back.

Its amazing that the Eagles are losing 24-12 and have been by far the luckier team this game.

I am not sure why Arizona doesn't just throw to Fitzgerald every single play as the Eagles, and most other teams, can't cover him at all.

Akers and Rackers seem to be having a battle to see who is the least clutch kicker in the NFL. So far, Akers is winning.

Wow, it didn't take long for Arizona to throw the game away.

Crazy things can happen in the SB but these teams will get killed by the AFC if they play like this in TB.

Is Andy Reid smoking crack or does he just not know math? Why the hell didn't he go for two? And then Akers shanks the PAT. Nice.

And Arizona has completed handing over the game to the Eagles.

Terrible effort from them in the 2nd half. They should have cruised to victory and instead they just cruised through the 3rd quarter as though they didn't care at all.

Why not have 3 passes to Fitzgerald here?

Has he not shown enough that he will beat any DB in the league in jump ball situations like that?

And the Eagles problems for most of the decade are summed up in one play - a drop. This team has never had that go to WR when they've needed it. And how was that not PI?

Makes up for that horrible kick off recovery call in the 1st half. Both teams benefited from poor calls today IMO

God I hate being an Eagles fan. It's like having 3 weeks of really great sex and then finding out you have herpes.

i wonder how this loss affects mcnabb's future in philly?

He has never really won over the fans and this loss is not going to help (even though he played well)
