PFT Football Strategy: Play for the Tie

I had to read this, not twice, but three times to truly believe what I was reading.  For all his criticism of Brad Childress' conservative game planning, Florio would have you believe he was Belichick esque in his strategy.  Not true.  

Mike Florio believes the Eagles should have run the ball so the clock would wind down and keep the Bengals from having time to score.  His strategy isn't to attempt to score and win the game, it's to make sure every chance to preserve a tie is possible. 

In the immortal words of Herm Edwards, "YOU PLAY TO WIN THE GAME".  Considering the opposing approach to strategy you'd think he's crusade for Edwards to be fired.  Looks like Florio has more in common with Childress.
