Well it's all over for the Birds and maybe that's a good thing. Once again in their wild card playoff game today they couldn't stop Tony Romo and Cowboys offense and they could do nothing against the rampaging Cowboy's defense. Early on the Eagles tried to hang in there with Micheal Vick firing a 76 yard TD pass to Jeremy Maclin to tie at 7 early in the 1st quarter. It was just about all Dallas after that. Mcnabb was under pressure on every snap and his receivers against a more physical Dallas secondary could not get open on most plays. He still managed to pass for 230 yards and TD to Desean Jackson early in the 4th quarter but by then it was already 34-7 Dallas and the Eagles hopes for a comeback had been dashed. There is really not much to say. The Birds were just overmatched by Dallas in every phase of the game and I don't know that there is anything they could have done different that would have helped. I think with another year of experience the Eagle's young safeties could be very good and with a healthy Stewart Bradley back in the middle, the Eagle's linebacking core will be fine next year. I think the o-line will be fine next year with a healthy Jamal Jackson back in the fold. We just weren't quite ready for liftoff this year I think, but next year watch out Cowboys, we're coming for you.

There were definately some key injuries that hurt the Eagles howevr in the end I just don't think they were good enough to win the super bowl. I still don't think they could win one with McNabb at qb. On the bright side at least the sixers and flyers still won
