Maybe the enormous workload they had to cope with took its toll. But you'd think that between three people you'd be able to spot such obvious flaws in the plot. It seems to have been very simply done, like "let's send Eomer north" without saying "Eomer is going to such and such place for this particular reason". One of the great things about the LOTR book is that nothing happens without a reason or background information. The movies stand up very poorly in this respect.
