They used to do it all the time, and go up-tempo, at odd times in the game -- it was something that Payton was really known for. Lately I kinda think that * (warning: conspiracy theory alert) that the reason they don't do it more often these days, is because our offense is so darn OLD (so many guys over 30) that they eventually get winded and just can't keep up the pace of running a no huddle offense for that long. I wonder if maybe they'd like to do it more, but they simply CAN'T do it as often as they wish, or as often as they used to, because the old timers like Colston, Evans, Goodwin, Grubbs, Strief and all these guys over 30, maybe they can't really keep up the pace for that long. That's something I wonder about, for sure.

The Eagles run a fast offense, and they have a couple of old timers on their offensive roster over age 30, but most of their O linemen are really like 24, 27, 28 - on the much younger side of 30 instead of the over the hill side. Could be a factor.
