Sometimes being smart is better than being aggressive and not converting, again without the 3 pts the Eagles need just a FG, BTW the defense allowed them to get to the SF 21, down 23-19, had they been down 20-19, they kick the FG, we have what 38 seconds, maybe 39 to get a FG, no guarantee we get it, we did the right thing despite what fans want.
with our current situation, i much rather go for it everytime its 4th and short. 1 td beats 2 fgs, and our d, save for the last 2 weeks (and with plenty of help of the opposing teams) cannot stop anyone
if we would have prime warner, bosa, justin smith, willis or bowman out there, i could take my chances on d. now? it just seems we are giving the game away
only thing that changed was that the eagles gave it back to us last night
when you are THIS shorthanded, you have to go all in.
