Anyone look closely at all those penalties? Glad I did not bet money on this one. There were two very questionable holding calls on the Saints second scoring drive in the 3rd quarter. One was declined. THen on the Eagles drive that marched to the 3 yd. line and settled for a FG, earlier Garcia had a 22 yd. run wiped out by a very ticky tack hold. ANd possibly worst of all, from the 13 yard line they pitched to Dupay who carried to w/in inches of the first down, but the ball was marked on the 4. Bad spot.
The holding call w/ 2 min. left that wiped out the completion on 4th down: that was legit. But the rest of it looked real ifffy/bad.
To be sure, I think Reid made some mistakes too. Settling for the FG after getting to the 3, turned out to be the biggest. The out pass on 3rd down, lost yardage and made it 4/goal from the 9. They could have gone for it from there on 4th... Then w/ 2 min. left and 4th/15 they punt. They hadnt prevented NO from getting a first down the entire half.
In the 3rd quarter there was a fumble at mid field that NO recovered to keep that drive alive. Philly player looked frozen for an instant, another big play as that was the TD that put them ahead.
