Eagles :01 timeout backfires

I agree with the Eagles calling a timeout with :01 left in the firs quarter because now on 4th and 1, the Falcons are going for it instead of being able to kick a field goal.

In hindsight, the Falcons gave the ball to TJ Duckett who powered his way 3 yards for the first down, but with the swirling winds entering the stadium, the Eagles basically took the field goal opportunity away from the Falcons. If their defense had held Duckett, it would have been a fantastic call. Andy Reid and Co. had the right idea, but it just didn't work out.
