there is only one team in the NFL that can beat the pack, and that's the pack themselves.
although brett gets the goat award for chucking up that final pass (and no, i don't think he was trying to hit javon walker, i think he was trying to put the ball out of play by overthrowing the field), the play calling was the worst. the pack fucked up two field goal opportunities that would have decided the game once and for all before OT looked possible.
also, joe buck and troy aikman should pull their pants up and stop jerking each other off in the booth and pay attention to the game... the goal line stand where ahman green missed the endzone was due to a very successful eagles dline stunt that closed the inside gap between the guard/tackle... green was clearly looking to penetrate behind probowl guard marco rivera. the field was so short that green couldn't adjust to get to the off tackle hole. but they should have kicked it anyway. sherman's play calling was only worse on those 3rd and short situations where he tried to pull cute passes instead of going to the screen or just punching it up the weakside.
but there is NO excuse for blowing that 4th and 26th. un-be-fucking-lievable. i can think of a couple of safeties who need to start looking for new jobs.
