PROPS and DROPS from the Broncos' loss to the Eagles, dropping them to the brink of playoff elimination:

DROPS: The key play of the game was Donovan McNabb's scramble on 3rd and 25. Yes, 3rd and 25. That's a quarter of the football field for a 11 year veteran QB, not exactly the swiftest guy on the field and the Donks made him look like Vince Young. Yes, the Eagles didn't get any points on the drive, but it tilted the field. A stop there and the Donks get the ball near midfield. The scramble let the Eagles punt inside the 10 and ultimatley get the ball back within 15 yards of FG range.

PROPS: Brian Dawkins played the game like it was his last, with all the fire and emotion times ten being back in Philly. The love between the two wasn't a kissy fest, but rather genuine and heart flet on both ends.

DROPS: The frustration and pressure of the Broncos showed in the first quarter with the usual level headed Brandon Stokley getting a red card and thrown from the game after "contact" with an official. Someone with the pedigree of Stokely losing his cool might be indicative of the coach (read: McD) and his animated tirades and foolery on the sidelines. Did Stokely do that crap when Tony Dungy was his coach? Not only did he look like an ass, he cost his team 15 yards and forced his team to retool with only three WRs.

PROPS: Sav Rocca, the Eagles' punter, is the best name in the NFL. Sounds like some dude on a mid-90's East Coast Hip Hop remix.

DROPS: Upon super-review, like some real freeze frame J. Giles type shit, Jeremy Maclin did not catch that ball. If he did, there certainly wasn't enought evidence to overturn the ruling on the field. The ball is in free fall from his top hand to bottom while he is falling out of bounds. When he gathers the ball for total possession, his back foot (the foot closest to the endzone) comes off the ground. In effect, only one foot in bounds.

DROPS: Help from others. That is the catch phrase this week in Orange and Blue Land. An NFL style welfare. Oakland beats the Ravens or the Bengals beat the Jets. The latter may be the toughest, as it will be a rabid Jets' crowd in the Meadowlands' last game (I hear Jimmy Hoffa mat finally dig himself out from the 50 yard line and sack Carson Palmer.)
