Can I gloat for a minute?

First of all, it's rare that a game lives up to the hype but I thought the Eagles-Cowboys game was pretty damn exciting.

Second, too all the suckers who picked the Cowboys... as Nelson would say -- hah ... hah!

I actually thought the Cowboys would tie the game on the final play but for once, the ball bounces our way.  I think the INT wasn't Bledsoe's fault as much as it was Jason Witten running the wrong route.

Incredible day by McNabb.  Aside from not feeling the pressure on the turnover for a TD, he was pretty much mistake free.  Some bad throws but his long bombs more than made up for them.   The same can't be said about TO.

Overall..The Eagles were good.
McNabb was McNabb...which is untouchable. He's just too good.
Besides that, there wasn't much the Eagles did that was all that impressive. I mean, the Cowboys turned the ball over about 15 times and stayed in the game all day. The blitzing was impressive, but it's no talent Bledsoe back there.
As far as that last pick goes...the whole Witten thing is bull$hit! We run that route EVERY week, and EVERY week, Witten sits down right where he was.
Maybe I was the only one to see it, but Bledsoe threw 3 picks, and every pick was purely his fault.
Two HORRIBLY underthrown balls and one right into the chest of triple coverage.
Oh yah, then you have to take into consideration the ball that I believe Micheal Lewis basically "basketball hooped" through his arms, and the screen that Lito nearly took to the house.
Bledsoe SUCKED...just like everybody said he would. I tried to give him the benefit of the doubt..but now I just wish we had a Tom Brady behind him so we get rid of his slow ass.
It's time for him to quit playin with Parcells tits and get benched...
Sorry for the vulgarity...but Bledsoe can take the blame for this one.

Bledsoe seemed to be under the impression that witten was supposed to cut right.  Parcells didn't say either way who was wrong on that play but maybe it'll come out this week.

The first INT, Bledsoe's arm was hit but the second one was awful.  It was great seeing TO go nuts after it.  "are you freaking kidding me? I was wide open!".

And also at the end of the game "what the f happened?!?"

Good times.  Good times.

I don't know if Bledsoe has some naked pictures of Parcells or maybe Parcells feels guilty for Bledsoe losing his spot in NE...I don't know, but I'm so sick of Bledsoe's excuses and Parcells always being there to pat him on the @$$. It's time they both wake up and realize this is a Super Bowl team with a QB.
Oh and as for TO...I'd be pissed if he didn't say anything about Drew...it needs to be said. I'm pretty sure it's justified when even Terry Glenn is cussing Bledsoe.

seems it was Bledsoe's fault (#4)

Parcells didn't absolve Bledsoe from all the blame. He said the final interception -- which cornerback Lito Sheppard returned 102 yards for a touchdown -- was on the quarterback. The pass, intended for covered tight end Jason Witten, should have been thrown away.

"It was a play we've run before and actually for many years, and it was just covered and just no place to really go with the ball," Parcells said. "Hopefully in that situation, like the play before, we throw it out of the end zone and have two more shots at it. For some reason we didn't."
