And in this game the two guys who killed us were Cooley and Smoot.

1. Smoot had a silly penalty on the first drive for illegal contact on a 3rd and long that kept the drive alive for Philly. Philly ended up scoring 7 points on the drive when they should have punted. Now we see why Minn let him go.

2. As much as I love Cooley you can't get a false start AT HOME on the 1 yard line. That is the kind of mental error that Shockey would make. He should give back some of his signing bonus after that critical mistake cause the WR broke wide open on the play and it would have been 7.

Let me give you three more. On the drive that Prioleau got beat by Reggie Brown deep:

1. Randall Godfrey dropped an EASY interception that hit him in both hands.

2. Shawn Springs picked up an illegal contact penalty on 2nd and 20 when we held Westbrook to a 4 yard catch. Instead of 3rd and 16, Philly got a fresh set of downs, and I'm pretty sure scored on the next play to Reggie Brown.

3. Prioleau badly misplayed the pass to Brown. If he locates the underthrown pass earlier, it's an easy INT.

I agree that Cooley's mistake was the most egregious. You're at home, so crowd noise is not a factor. Just a dumb, dumb play. I'm tired of Gibbs talking about our "SuperSmart" guys when we have mental breakdowns every game.

The Silver Lining - Campbell was FINALLY allowed to stretch the field. We should do more no huddle so we can take the play calling away from Saunders/Gibbs.
