If Reid wanted them in the hurry up, he would have said to do it. And this wasn't one play - they wasted a huge amount of time over that whole final touchdown drive - and even time on their last possession. If Reid thought things were amiss he would have said something.

Yes, personally I am sure that strategy was Andy Reid's approach. McNabb called the guy back - but he was following the approach of the coach, the way any player would. Reid knew what he was doing.

I guess he didn't want the team to panic - but that wasted an enormous amount of time. The post game press conference should shed light on his thinking.
