I blame Micheal Lewis for most of it. He let Amani Toomer catch that 37 yd. pass by stumbling whern in pursuit, and he fumbled the Giants fumble into the endzone, allowing the Giants to score another TD. If he hadn't made these mistakes, it would have been 24-14 Eagles. What do you think?

What do I think? I think armchair quarterbacks ought to stop looking for someone to blame and accept the fact that people make mistakes or have accidents. I don't see you out there sweating bullets and getting the poop knocked out of you while I sit home and point a finger at you when you stumble.

With about 6 minutes left in the 4th quarter it seemed like the Super Bowl again. The Birds were lackadaisical, took their time breaking from the huddle and had to call a timeout because the play clock was down to 2 seconds. On the next play, they got flagged for delay of game.
I blame "Andy" McNabb for sitting on the lead and taking the Giants too lightly. They were overconfident because they rolled for the first 6 quarters of this season and it finally bit them where they do their thinking.

That's a good question:
If the Eagles recover the Giants' fumble, its there ball. I agree with your statement, if the Eagles recover the fumble the score would had changed. The Eagles would had won the game if the fumble recovery for a touchdown did not happen.

The whole team is to blame!
Andy Reid is to blame for going soft!
McNabb is to blame for not putting his foot down and changing certain plays! (alothough Andy Reid seemed to suggest that he does not allow McNabb to do that, cant see why)!
Westbrook is to blame for Fumbling the ball even if it was on a hard tackle!
Lewis is to blame for not falling on the ball but he was nudged as he went for it which can effect the way you fall???!??? WHAT!
Sheldon Brown is to balme for being too short!
Matt Schobell is to blame as he didn't catch the ball!
Mike Patterson is to balme for not realising that hes not meant to tackle and end the season of his teammates!
Trent Cole is to blame for that foul!
Hanson is to blame as he has only been with the team for 2 weeks and doesn't know the schemes fully!!
The officials are to blame for not giving Dawkins the interception in overtime!
The NFL is to blame for not allowing teams to challenge calls in overtime!
T.O is probably to blame somehow! He put a curse on the team the day before! How do you think he broke his finger! It was a pain sacrafice to his gods!
Whoever you think is to blame it makes no difference what so ever!
The Eagles had the game won and then handed it to the Giants who cant deny had been out played for the 1st 3 Quarters!!
The Eagles lost, they move on, we move on, the end of the season standings is all that matters!
I have faith in the Eagles! They will get over it and get back into winning and if they don't i wont be one of their so called fans criticising everything! I will be applauding them for the good points from the season (still first ranked offence in the NFL even though lost that game) and hoping that they learn from the bad!!
GO EAGLES!!!!!

Its Eli Manning's fault, if Eli didnt completely destroy that eagles secondary the Giants wouldnt have had a chance : )
