The Kids are Alright

Everyone is talking about maclin's catch. Very little appreciation for McNabb's throw on that play.

I can tell you mood in the stands as the lead slipped away was growing anger at McNabb (no idea why - up to that point the offense had already scored 27 points). Of course, that all changed after his 27 yard run - which looked like one of those old McNabb moves when he  dropped back - saw Pinkston and Thrash covered - and decided to make the play all by himself.

Also on the crowd response - Dawkins got a huge reception as you'd expect. DeSean a very big cheer but still not as a big as the reigning fan favorite - B. Westbrook (though it helped it was his first game back). McNabb gets cheered but in my estimation less fervor and noise than either of the other two.
