Why did Payton call that pitch to Bush?

The subsequent fumble cost me my chance at hitting the Saints side. Just killed me when i saw that. A carney FG would have put them up by 6, and I had them at -5.5. Sigh.

Why did the Eagles punt the ball 4th and long after the 5 yard penalty with around 2 minutes left? I don't get it.

[babaoriley]

Yeah, they'll go for it on 4th and 10, but not on 4th and 15? Really?

I feel your pain babaoriley. I almost crashed my car when I heard that on the radio. I had the saints and the over in that one. Great call I was wishing Philly would go down and kick the field goal to send it to OT. Maybe could of got it that way.

almost like a combined effort, zebras included, to run out the last minutes of the game with no points. hmm.
