All three played a factor, but I would argue that the penalties were the biggest reason. Penalties extended Philly's opening TD drive, and gave them new life right before the bomb to Reggie Brown for another TD. And all that before Cooley's gaffe - the biggest mistake of the game. You just can't false start inside the 10 yard line at home, yet the Skins manage to make mistakes like that repeatedly. That IS NOT coaching. Coaches had a perfect call before Cooley jumped. So we blame the playcalling for that? My only beef with Gibbs/Saunders was the draw on 3rd and 7. For the rest of this terrible loss, I put it squarely on the players making stupid penalties at crucial moments.
