It's not like they were going for it on 4th down while in FG range - Belichick style

LOL! The Eagles offense scored 52 points. They were still passing the ball after being ahead by 30+ points in the second half. Reid specifically said at halftime that his plans for the second half was "to score more points." So yes, Reid was running up the score. But, as I said before, I'm not blaming him for doing so, I would have done the same thing if I were in that position. Point is, Reid wanted to send a message to the rest of the league that the Eagles are the team to beat and they started their run to the Super Bowl last night as far as I'm concerned. Despite the Redskins' record, not many teams can score points like that against this team.
