Worst. Two Minute Drill. Ever.
Seriously, did the Eagles even practice the 2 minute drill at all? Worst I've seen from a playoff team in recent memory.

Still great game, Eagles have nothing to be ashamed about.

2. Last two possessions ...

Despite the eventual score, their last two posessions were horrendous as far as clock management is concerned. I don't often find anything a sports announcer says to be worth the air its breathed through, but they had a point with that one. The Eagles were down 10. They should have started a no-huddle or infrequent huddle offense much sooner.

As for the two minute drill, there wasn't one. It's almost like the offense gave up after the failed onside kick.

3. Game management as a whole by Eagles was real bad.
Andy Reid drops at least two notches in my book.

4. Yeah, I noticed that...crappy clock management
They played a fantastic game, but better clock management at the end was in order.

6. Hasn't this pretty much been SOP with Eagles, bad clock management?
They did play a great game, but damn, talk about missed opportunities.

5. They looked knackered....How about some fitness drills?
And maybe introducing the revolutionary concept of calling TWO plays in the huddle...

They played atrociously...

Did they think they had a FIFTH quarter???

Very disappointed....

Fuck NE and Fuck Tom Brady.... :grr:
