NFC Championship Game Halftime Notes

-Andy Reid is reverting back to his old poor game-managing ways. Can someone explain the rationale in calling a timeout before the third and fourteen play when the Eagles had the ball? The chances of the Eagles converting that play is minimal, and you only give an offense that has burned your defense over and over, another chance to do just that. He should've tried to force the Cardinals to take a timeout. Give Andy Reid an assist for those last three Cardinal points.

-The Cardinals interior offensive line has been great. C Lyle Sendlein, RG Deuce Lutui, and LG Reggie Wells haven't allowed much by Paterson and Bunkley. When those two undersized defensive tackles can't get under the pads of the offensive lineman, their effectiveness is minimized. Consequently, MLB Stewart Bradley isn't getting protection from being blocked by scraping offensive lineman.

-Besides taking a bad angle on a long Kevin Curtis catch and run, Antrel Rolle has been really good. He's a microcosm of the entire Cardinal's defense: Very athletic, that will tend to overpursue and gamble, but will make more good plays than bad.

-McNabb isn't showing me much. He'll never be an accurate passer, but c'mon. This is the worst possible time to be missing your receivers. How does four NFC title game losses sound?
