I think the decision on the size of cushion is a coaching/playcall decision. It could be Marinelli's concern.That would hold more water if the Eagles had been throwing deep or if Claiborne hadn't gotten beat for a big gain, but neither has happened so it makes no sense for him to be so worried about what's going on behind him.
He needs be much more concerned with what's going on in front of him because all the Eagles are doing is throwing slants and screens.
It's been ugly from top to bottom. Simply no excuse.Pretty much.
Dak hasn't been sharp, but I don't think that pick happens if we're running the ball like we're supposed to there.
The ST blunder to start the game and hand the Eagles 3 points is also on the staff.
We've had far too many players tonight committing way too many stupid penalties and/or making stupid mistakes too.
