Htown is right, and here's why, we are lousey at running the ball on short yardage plays, we have been since Gibbs took over, when a defense is prepaired for short yardage against us they almost alway's stop us, that is why you go to some kind of a roleout option, if they stop us then they stop us on a play we are very strong and successful at running, like our 4th and 2 rollout pass to Cooley earlier in the game, the fact that we went to our weekest offensive play in the most crucial part of the game makes it the wrong call, if we were a team that consistantly grinds out the tough yards running than it's a good call, but we are not so it's not a good call in that situation, we mixed the pass and the run all game, but in crunch time we go away from what made us successeful and go with the weekest part of our game, a short yardage run. I knew it was going to happen before he ran it, I was hoping he would surprise me, but he didn't surprise me, or the Eagles.
