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.
