Truly amazing. The guy, although unbelievably annoying, has heart. That drive in the first half where McNabb threw it up to the right side of the endzone and got picked (although a penalty negated the turnover), showed that TO wasn't 100%. That's his ball if he's healthy. He couldn't make the adjustment when the ball was in the air and never got his body between the defenders and the ball.
He had some nice catches. A good thing, too, since Donovan played like shit. His receivers were making great catches all over the field. He had one good pass, threading the needle on that TD toss. Everything else, seemed to be too high or too low.
Is it just me or does he always seem to throw the ball downwards? A few times it got away from him and went over his receivers' heads, but every other time I've seen him play his receivers make catches bending over. He throws the most uncatcheable ball in the league. It looks like a rock coming out of his hand.

Yep. Patriots made adjustments in the second half. Eagles didn't. That's the game.

And now, the commercials:
Beyond a doubt, the Ameritrade cat, pasta sauce, knife commercial wins for best ad of the night.

I liked the one where the guy was using his hands-free phone in the mom and pop store and they thought they were being held up.

I still have a thing for the Budweiser donkey, and they did an awesome job of following up last year's ad with the managerie this year. The pig, in particular, was inspired.

Went over like a lead balloon.

I loved the new Mustang commercial, though it sort of wore down with repetition.

I thought this was one of the worst. Essentially, a frozen, dead guy. Maybe if he had been wearing his Tabasco underwear, he would have been okay.

She was not too skinny.
