He went for it 4th and 1 on the Eagles 25 6 plus min left in 3rd.

They got stopped of course. Kelly challenged the call upheld.

Earlier he ran a double reverse on 4th and 1 on the Vikings 20.

Statistically, you should almost always go for it.

Yes, statistically, you have a great chance of converting. So if you go by just that, you should go for it.

But reality says that if you go for it on 4th and 1 or 4th down in general on your own territory, you are handing the other team at least three points.

You don't go on your 25 down by 2 scores and 21 minutes left.

hence the reason people don't go is fear of embarrassment.

Chip doesn't always utilize his best weapon(McCoy). Dude had 4 rushing attempts at halftime. The same Shady that had 200+ rushing yards last week. Foles and DJax are great, but sometimes his strategy is bizarre.
