Defensive formation on 3rd and 16 in Eagles game.

I guarantee you the same people complaining about this would complain if it were zone and they gave up a first down and later scored.

I'm sure you're right but I'm not sure how that is important. Most people really only complain when they play soft zone all the way down the field, on 1st and 10, etc. In this situation the defense was gassed in the second half. Sending them into man coverage on that 3rd and 16, with the ball on the Philly 35, with 1:16 left in the game was a bad call.
