- - Gibbs Fined (http://www.thewarpath.net/showthread.php?t=8567)

Can any one say motivation, for him self and the team........... I like it when Gibbs starts getting on Refs and the press.

It reminds me of the old Joe Gibbs... Who use to snap at reports left and right..... This nice guy, laughing and joking, Joe gibbs is not the coach I remembered. Not that he was a bad guy, but if you said something back in the day that Gibbs though was stuipid he would call you on it. He couldn't stand someone trying to say his teams was going to win or was a favorite. I think this fine doesn't change him from being critical to the refs.

Coach Gibbs will pay the fine and put this out of the limelight, I'm sure.

However as a fan who watched those 'fouls', I am upset over a $10K fine to the Coach. Is there anything that we the fans can do to let the NFL/Referee committee know just how we feel about this judgement call?

My only problem with it is Gibbs didn't get his $10k worth.

Wow 10,000 bucks. Do we need to pitch in and help Coach? That is like losing what 5 bucks for the average person. I wonder if he said how great the refs were and that they did a good job on the bad calls if he would get fined again.

I wonder how long we'll have to put up with third rate officiating?

Anyone see the Colts - Rams game? That call on the Ivy fumble recovery was as blatant as bad calls get. Ump calls change of possession and the ref just gives it to the Colts without even talking to the ump who called it.

Mind numbingly awful. The NFL needs to have full time paid professional refs and as much technology to back them up as can be had.

the thing is that the refs in the last game weren't calling anything, on us or the chiefs. During that play I was yelling HOLDING HOLDING HOLDING. That was horrible, the only thing is that the chiefs would have had many more penalties had they started to call them. The last play of the game the LDE jumped offsides and got a head start. There was more mad about the officiating in the chiefs game than i was in the denver game

that roughing call on Marcus and the 4th down spot were the worst calls i have seen all year

:smashfrea :coach: When you make a mistake you should be held acountable. not destroyed mind you but it should be brought to your attention and then a rememdy found so it doesn't happen again.the nfl doesn't (seem) to have any such mechanism for dealing with officating the has gone bad.denial doesn't work. it just annoys and enrages.there needs to be a better way.

[QUOTE=56FAN]i've really tried not to think about the officals but after that call in the denver game where the booth called brunell for being over the line of scrimage and yet none on the field did.i have a hard time not thinking that there's something funny going on.i have friend who is convinced that there is and that it's because of snyder. i don't want ot but these calls just keep coming.like someone said when holmes caught that screen holdman was right there but was held just long enough for priest to get by the he was released. the ref, was right there and didn't through the flag.maybe i nedd to check other games and see of this is a league wide prob or if it is a skins thing.[/QUOTE]

I started a thread about that very thing a year ago after the Dallas game on monday night, lets face it the league is run by the owners, and most if not all the owners hate Snyder, there is no way anyone is going to convince me that the ref's haven't been given a wink, wink, nod, nod, to make sure anything questionable goes against us. Over the coarse of the last 2 years I have seen not bad calls, but suspicious calls, where a ref will make a call from 30 feet away, that is almost none existant against us, and then watch from 10' away as Rod Gardners jersey is ripped off in the end zone on pass inter. which is not called, as Gibbs stated things are a little funny, yea just a little, it's also kind of funny how the NFL wont allow you to critisize the refs even when you have sufficient proof, in other words if the ref shows throughout a game that he's capable of making a tough call or none existant call against you, but incapable of making an easy call for you there's a problem, It's as if Vince McMahon is incharge of the referees.

For joe Gibbs to come out with that kind of a statement is huge, it was a kind way of saying, I really believe there's something going on here other than just bad calls, essentially challenging the NFL and their legitamacy, integrity, and honesty, as an organazation.

Did anyone find it suspicious on KC's first TD drive that we couldn't get a replay of the fumble by the sidelines which all the skins were jumping up and down that we got the ball? Kind of ironic that they wont show a replay of something like that, kind of tells me that the NFL really didn't want anyone to see it, I wonder why?

i just actually watched the replay and if someone else recorded it you can see inbetween renaldo's legs that the priest hits the ground the ball pops up, he was down but then daniels hits him as daniels is falling and turns Priest's body and the ball come up from under him and it it gets its way into griffins hands, i still haven't seen another angle but i think the right call was made. I just don't feel that it is possible that we are disliked that much by the league that the refs would be skrewing up our games

if it is a conspiracy does anyone think now that gibbs is calling out the refs there will be an improvement??

okay, so if Gibbs makes $5,000,000 per year and gets fined $10,000 then it is like a guy making $50,000 per year getting fined $100. He'll survive.

Funny part is Snyder may just give him a $10,000 bonus for giving the after practive interview. No rule against that.
