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.

I didn't have a problem w/ Godfrey's play. He's a LB with stone hands. And PP is another back-up so I'll give that one to Reggie Brown. But you are right on w/ Springs. That's another one that just killed us. One of our best players getting that on a 2-20 is just crazy. So people ( including myself) can bitch and moan about the jumbo BS but in the end 3 of our best, and highest paid guys let us down.
