Not that it really mattered, but am I wrong in thinking it was a dumb move to take that second timeout with 2:05 left? Why not just let the clock run to the two-minute warning, let Philly kick the FG, and you get the ball with two timeouts left and about 1:50 on the clock. Instead they have one timeout left with 1:52 on the clock.

I think you're right. They should have either taken the timeout IMMEDIATELY at 2:09, or wait til after the 2-minute warning. Taking it at 2:05 effectively burns two timeouts (one for Miami, one for the 2-min warning) at once.
