I don't know about that. Don't get me wrong, I was rooting for the Eagles. They just got outplayed. It looks like Donovan just couldn't handle the pressure of a title game. No-one who watched it can admit that it wasn't a great game though.

Most definetely. He just couldn't help throwing into that double and triple cover. Good point about T O, though. They said he's been sleeping in a hyperbaric chamber, and that the way he's injured, the average person wouldn't even be walking yet. Crazy stuff, man.
Tom Brady had more than his fair share of turnovers, though, even if they weren't interceptions.

My take on the game, and keep in mind I am not big NFL fan, however I have seen, 36 of 39 super bowls, least that I remember.
It was a very good game, two well matched teams. The fact that NE had to plan their defense with three strategies, (i.e. is TO playing, if he plays, how well, and what if he can play well) must have given NE defensive co-coordinator some sleepless nights.
For the Eagles, I think there early game strategy of blitzing really kept NE off balance, however NE did counter against Philly's offence equally well. On the first drive that the Eagles managed to drive down to the NE goal, I think would have dictated the game, and given the Eagles the win eventually, if they had scored a TD. I believe Philly made a huge error, on the last drive of the half, not trying to score, using a hurry up offence was fatal, as it showed up being there downfall in the last few plays of the game.
That being said, the whole first half saw two very talented teams, counter each other well. In the second half, both teams made several adjustments, I think NE did a better job of finding holes in the Eagles defensive coverage. By the time the Eagles started to force double coverage to the outside, and get the passing game really moving for them I think momentum had switched over to NE. As for the QB match up, time will tell if Tom Brady is really a great quarterback or just an average one with a great team. As for Donovan, I personally feel he is not a great one, and I think his performance showed that. Now for T Owens, what can anyone ever say about his devotion to his team, he played unbelievable well. I saw the game he was injured in, and I never thought he would be running, but super bowl time, never mind playing at what appeared to me 100%.

what!? Owens was an added blessing to the eagles,they had planned on playing without him and he played at 100% No more excuses eagle fans :p ;)

Agreed! He choked. Eagles Fans need to blame him instead of all the T.O. excuses I've seen online.

Classic memorable moment of this superbowl for me will be Owens telling McNab to "relax"

McNabs a good quarterback can't take that away from him,just seemed like he couldn't handle the big game.

he didnt because he fell many times because he couldnt turn the way he wanted to also you could tell all he would do is catch it and try to run but his leg couldnt handle the weight on some cases and he would just fall
