Why is Philly letting the clock run out..

With less than 4 minutes on the clock?

This is the worst display of clock performance I've ever seen. Are they resigned to losing?

Horrid, horrid clock management.

Mcnabb really is a mediocre QB. Guess he is a system guy, like I said.

Saying McNabb is mediocre is ignorant.

If he had been halfway accurate, his team would've won. Most of his passes were off target.

The clock management at the end of the game was piss poor. If they had done hurry up, they might've had time to tie it.

He really did play a shitty game. He had way too many crappy passes. WAY too many times he passed behind his receivers and they caught it. The Philly receivers made McNabb look good. TO made an incredible catch and Westbrook caught at least 4 balls that were thrown a good 2-3 feet behind him.

In hindsight, his passed were errant because he was running for his life often. He had 'happy feet' as so many QBs do playing New England. He was not cool under fire, though.

I also can't blame McNabb for the piss poor clock management. Thats just bad coaching.

IMO the loss is definitely on McNabb (and some to Westbrook). The Eagles O is dangerous when McNabb runs, and he did none of that. He's being "Vick'd" by coaching or something.

And even though the running game was futile...Westbrook had plenty of lanes to get like 3-4 yards and put them in 2nd and 7 but kept trying to bounce everything outside and losing 3.
