Unreal. Fake punt, going for it on 4th and 1 in OT, Cole Beasley throwing the football.

This is an entirely different team.

It's really no big deal, we already let it out of the bag that Beaz is the emergency QB....I am just surprised the Eagles didn't key on him as a passer all night.

Past the fake punt, gaining 460 yards of offense when you're quarterback play is trash for the better part of three quarters is phenomenal.

Meanwhile, Pederson is getting torched for not kicking that field goal.

Which is really dumb. You are up 7, the opponent has been shooting themselves in the foot all night and it was 56-57 yds. You don't attempt that and give us the ball at midfield. You play the percentages, pin us deep and play defense. Morons are the only people that would be condemning that call,

I have to give it up for Garrett this time. He FINALLY played to win instead of not to lose.

We saw not 1, but 2 trick plays in this one. I think in previous years, he would have kicked the FG on 4th and inches in OT.

I was telling myself..."go for it...even if we don't make it, it's the right call. Play to WIN!"

Finally...he played to win. Props to being aggressive, Coach!

NFL OT rules need some tweaking. If you kick a FG on your first drive, the other team knows it has to score, so it gets 4 downs to get into FG range. Garrett wasn't putting our defense back on the field in OT with Philly having 4 downs, if he didn't have to. Smart move.

Yeah. I would say that has been a pattern since game one. We rolled the dice against Giants with that onside kick even tho it didn't work. I like how he is inspiring the team with the aggressive posture. Reminds me a bit of jimmy.

Have to give Garrett credit for the 4th down, it worked. I was against it, I thought Philly's offense was so horribly inept with Wentz's insistence on throwing one yard passes even when it was obvious it was going to get blown up... I just thought there was no way they could get a score on us. But I'm glad Garrett thought differently.

Linnehan did not call one of his better games tonight, well at least in the early going. Bottom line we won and that is all that counts in the end.
