Are you saying the Eagles should have gone for it on the last 4th down? I think the bad call was passing on third down. The clock is as important as the score in that situation.
Yes, I'm saying they should have gone. If you plug a situation into the model of kicking the FG after running 40 seconds off of the clock, it still says go for it. You just just don't get much benefit being up 6 versus 3 unless there are less than 30 seconds remaining.

That's smart. I haven't seen anyone bring that up in the media and I didn't consider it.
