I though the same thing.  We would be KILLING our OC for doing that.  Sarkesian (sp?) had horrible play calling, especially in the red zone.  I think Peterson just let Atlanta coach themselves out of the game and did his best Marvin Lewis (just play to not lose) and had a couple big plays ready when needed.  

If Atlanta's game plan was stupid, Philly's was conservative, but it narrowly worked so they will be praised.  

Just watching the game, Atlanta looked like the better team but made some really dumb decisions.  I would have thought they would run more and make Philly's defense chase while being spread out to cover a 3-wide attack.
