From what I understood from that video at least, he was explaining that Gandalf had a top-secret plan to maybe take the Hobbits to the "Eagles nest" after Rivendell, but because of the bad snow-storm weather they went for the mines of Moria... This plan was never reveled in the book or the films but in some "hand written notes" or something like this...
Gandalf probably had like a plan A and a plan B and C and so on, one riskier then the other...
I also think those flying Nazgûl could have been an issue when flying into Mordor?
Maybe Ill watch that video again...
/FF
I'll watch it again when I'm on the laptop too, but I think that was the other person's theory that he poked holes in. But it's been a while since I've watched it.

LOL ...all of his theories are super well researched! OK, I rewatched it. Yeah, basically eagles = too powerful, would be tempted by the ring and also then Sauron would have seen them coming.

@phoenixwren
But I still think Gandalf was considering the idea, as a plan C or something?

I don't think that was part of his theory, I think that was part of the first one.
