I was sort of thinking the same thing yesterday, but I do get the gripe on that one play.
If it hadn't been defended well, we'd probably be hearing a chorus of praise for Pederson's audacity. 

Overall - I'm thrilled we have a staff that keeps the hammer down. 
Not gonna nit-pick it any further.  It is what it is and I'd rather err on the side of aggression that timidity. 
The Marrone era was so frustrating that way. Get up ten points and start phoning in the game. Ugh. Was so hard to watch at times. 

Nate Hackett was like, "oh look - they have zero answers for plays out of this one formation that spreads the defense out! Let's go back to power runs with Fournette with 8 in the box instead!" LOL

TLaw needs to learn the dive and we need to stop calling back side roll outs. Other than that I like the agressive calls.

There's a time and place for aggressiveness. Not sure why people can't seem to wrap that part around their thick skull here. 

Again, less than 3:30 in the game, you're in field goal range already, you're up by 14 points. That's the kind of nonsense call you see your child or grandchild do in Madden at home. Not in a real football game. 

Being aggressive when it makes sense is fine. Doing it with a lead with that much time left in the game is not fine. Just like it wasn't fine when Doug rolled the dice on a 4th and 6 on our side of the football field before half time against Kanas City and gifted them points on a platter.

Situations matter.
