I know a lot of people were screaming, "Get rid of the ball!" on the offense's last play, but I actually didn't mind him taking the sack. If I had to guess, MM's instructions were to make the play if someone was definitely open, but to be smart...don't force it for an incompletion or a turnover (stating the obvious there). The reason being that the sack kept the clock running to the two minute warning. If Rodgers throws an imcompletion there, we essentially give the Eagles another timeout with saving the two-minute warning for them.

There's nothing wrong with going play action on first down as well. I understand MM is scared to death of an incompletion stopping the clock in that situation, but there are plenty of high percentage passing plays available and you have to trust AR and your players to make a play.

They could have closed on that drive and ended up making it much more difficult than it needed to be.
