I gotta give it to Cooley's false start

Well the d did not play that bad as people think. That last TD is hard to count against the D so they gave up 26 points. The O had several chances to score a TD which they did not and we gave up 1 point on special teams. The reason I say one is because if we made our extra point then we would have kicked the other extra point and the Eagles would have kick their extra point which = 1 point we lost. Which was the reason for us given up that extra TD and changed how we would have played the end of the game. When he missed that extra point I turned to my dad and said that is going to come back to haunt us and it did. I'm not blamming SS for missing it as it does happen to all kickers and he won last weeks game and the team should have carried him like he did last week.

I said penalties, but losing Taylor was at least as critical. Our defense reverted to last year's form when he left the field.

I came up with another reason: The 'Skins weren't prepared to come from behind in the last two minutes to win.

This translates to coaches not getting the players mentally focused on that kind of situation.
