I was shocked as hell at the second reverse, and the Colts appeared to be too.  I actually thought DeSean slid too early, could have picked up another first down if he'd ducked inside.

The first end around was probably one of Reid's best playcalls ever, especially considering that the Eagles were nursing a lead inside of 2 minutes.  The 2nd one was a bit ballsy but it appeared to fool the Colts again, so I guess that makes it a good call. 

Diomedes

they were both great calls, it's not even worth talking about

its a good call cause he got a first down. it was risky and otherwise a 3 and out drive when he needed to run the clock down and keep the ball from peyton. but you all fail to see the point. carry on...

Does it matter if they run an end around or cram Shady between the tackles? Both are runs and both keep the clock moving. They needed to get a first down. They were in 3rd and short prior to the penalty on Justice.

Diomedes

no dude, I see your point but the problem is, it worked beautifully both times

so you're wrong

yeah, no surprise that mussa is on the losing end of another retarded argument

Sgt PSN

I look at it like this.....Eagles needed to run out some clock and Reid called a play that got the ball into the hands of his best playmaker and the fastest guy on the team without throwing a pass.  +1 for Reid.  Good job, fatty. 

mussa

both times? they got a first down on the first attempt. then went 3 and out. peyton had the ball with 40 to go.

they had a 3rd and two until Peters jumped offsides, what the farging hell are you talking about?

a third and two because the second call gained 8 f'n yards

what more do you want?

It was Justice but the point stands - they ran it and were in 3rd and short.

QB Eagles

The second one went for six yards. Hard to imagine any other way they could have kept the ball on the ground and got six, considering that the Colts were selling out for a run up the middle.
