Eagles not going for 4th down and 15

4th and 15 with under 2 minutes left in the game.

I have Garica who can run out away from trouble and have Stallworth, Brown and Westbrook, I'm on the road and down by 3 points.

If I would have been the coach for the Eagles that night I go for it on 4th down, chances are a lot higher that I get it compared to giving the ball back to the Saints the way Deuce was running the ball, the Saints had three downs to get 10 yards, pretty good chance that the Saints would have converted, in fact we did convert, so IMO Andy made the wrong decision by punting the ball away, easy to say what I think now that the game is over and have no pressure on me.
