"3) Dodged a bullet by settling for that field goal instead of passing on 3rd down late in the game."
The Eagles should have passed on 2nd down. There was 2:03 left in the game and the clock was going to stop after that play noo matter what due to the two minute warning. An incomplete pass on 3rd down would have saved the Pats a time out, but an incomplete pass on 2nd down (with 2:03 left) wouldn't have made any difference as far as the Pats' TOs go.
edit: I should have read the whole post before posting: RFIP scooped me on this one!!
