Great game Cards. Congrats to the fans.
The Eagles just dropped too many passes(2 in the last drive alone- both for easy first downs), and the Defense just came up very small, Mickell dropping an Int for the 4th time this post season was the closest the Eagles came to a turnover.
I guess people will call McNabb a choke, but it's hard to win when your defense gives up 32 and your receivers drop over 100 yards worth of passes. The eagles had Arizona with a 4th and 1 at midfield, up 1, with 4:30 left. Had they made the stop, the Eagles probably win. So if there's a choke, it's the Defense which just did not play well.
Good luck to the Cards in the SB, i'll be rooting for them, they are a very likable team. Their defense is very suspect though, McNabb and Co. ate it up pretty good today. They'll need to seriously tighten that down to win the Lombardi trophy.
At any rate, i'd hardly call a hard fought road playoff loss a choke.
