NE had them outplayed the 2nd half and shook up McNabb early in the game, that's not a choke, it's called intimidation

:roll: I think your Pats championshio hat is on too tight, I think it's cutting off blood circulation to your brain.

I'll grant you that the Pats did a terrific job of containing the run though, and were clutch as usual, getting it done when it matters.

Sorry, they earned this one, I don't care who votes what. You can't deny that keeping pressure on a fast moving QB like McNabb is easy, but NE did it all game, and that was the key to their victory IMO. They shut the run out when it counted. While NE's corners didn't get their jobs done like they should have (I saw lots of blown/loose coverage) McNabb usually couldn't get an accurate pass off, he looked shaken out there to me. Now are you going to say the Eagles choked? Or the Patriots strategy worked? Either side can be debated, but Philly didn't give this one away, I saw a very close game with two excellent teams, despite Philly's mistakes.

I noticed early on in the game that New England controlled Philly on the lines. Both their offensive and defensive line seemed to overpower Philly's. Their defensive line was able to break through and rush McNabb a lot, while their offensive line prevented the Eagles from getting through as much as they needed to, and also set up good runs.

They earned it, yes, but Philly had several chances to take control of the game or get the Pats in trouble that they just pissed away because of bonehead plays. Namely 2 stupid INTs and horrendous clock management. Philly choked, they had plenty of chances to take this game and they wasted them all.
