You're exactly right.....and that's why Wentz will be the starter when he returns.  Casual fans just look at the surface.....they're not thinking about the coaching decisions.  Doug Williams had a helluva Super Bowl too.

I watched a little of the replay last night on NFL Network.  They ran out of that scheme a great deal of the game.  Of course without a threatening rushing attack, the RPO is as impotent as PA pass.  The Iggles have a bruising ground game, which opens up the run-pass-option, AND the PA pass.  It's a lot of the problem in Cincy.  There's no ground game to open up the possibilities.  Casual fans don't understand this either.
