Take the FG down 15 late in the 4th!  Yes!

there was still over 5.5 min to go. it was like what 4th and 15? You have to play the percentages on a play like that. he's an idiot,  but I cant blame him for taking the points there. you look to force a turnover on the kickoff/onsides..or whatever.

There was 4:47 left, and the Eagles only had two timeouts.  You have to trust your offense to make the miracle play.

The 3 points did nothing though. It was a two score game before and after the field goal

Exactly.  It would be different if they were down 14.  Then the FG makes it a TD with 2pt/FG two-score game.  But the Eagles still needed two TD's after that one, which is why it didn't make a lick of sense.

At the time of the play, I felt the same way. When the Eagles were going for an osk with a little less than 2 min left and down by 5 I changed my tune a little.  When its all said and done, the Eagles were in a position where they needed a miracle play.....either a 4th and 15 TD against a very good defense or an osk recovery. Not to mention that without kicking the FG, they would have needed a 2 pt conversion. 

I'm all for trashing Reid when he does stupid shtein, but the truth is that he probably made the best decision to take the FG.

I dn't understand how they don't go for it on 4th with like 7 mins left on the Bears 3? You have Mike Vick. Then the next drive yes, go for the field goal on 4th and 18 because there is no way your getting the TD. Then they hit Celek for 7. Thats the game! Desean catches that TD, it's game. Bad coaching and bad play by your "play maker".

I don't remember for sure, but wasn't it 4th and real long, like 4th and 20? If so I'd do the same thing. If not though, I'd go for it too after burning 2 time outs to think about it.

I didn't have a problem kicking the FG, but if you kick it, you need to go for the onsides kick after that, not kick it deep.

No that was the drive after the one I am referring too. They kicked on Bears 3 farging yard line. Yeah there is a lot of time left but with Vick I think you go for it. Really is Desean holds onto that TD it's our game.

Let's assume that Bobby April overruled Andy on that onside kick.
