Agreed, its a shame because the Birds deserved it too but Reid is going to get crucified in Philly media.
Deserved it? The Eagles got totally outplayed. They were lucky to even be IN the freaking game. Take two plays away from the Eagles and they get BLOWN OUT ... And the Saints' playcalling in the second half (pass, pass, pass) was terrible as well.
And has everyone already forgotten the toss fumble by Bush? Without that gift (more great playcalling by the Saints), the Saints go up by at least six --- and possibly more.
Having said all that, this thread is on the money. Punting on 4th and 15 was STUPID --- and a great example of Andy Reid at his "best". I just can't believe that people think the Eagles should even have been in this game.
You're a great capper, GoGo, but your bias affected your impression of this game.
