The Pats DID beat the eagles?

what exactly is your question? The Pats did what they had to win. I think had the eagles had McNabb they still would have lost, possibly even worse than they did. The Patriots are scary good and there are only a couple of teams that I feel have a legitimate shot to beat them: Indy, Dallas, and Pittsburgh. Those 3 teams are set up to beat teams like the Pats. And if you'll remember, both Dallas and Indy led in the 4th Qtr and stubbed their proverbial toes. Come playoff time all bets are off.
