Hate to say it but Coaching lost this game

[redwagonskins]

Bad, bad, bad clock management. First two games we don't challenge anything now we're whipping them out like they are free.

[Bozzy]

nah, it was a slow offensive start and bad calls by the refs.

[Daseal]

Coaching has been weak, but the latter half, minus the challenge, was a good job.

[navodne]

Yes it definitely was poor coaching! Joe looked like a deer in the headlights... Why would he challenge the call and risk his last T/O?

[Bozzy]

that last challenge was utterly pointless.

[navodne]

What about the poor series of calls in the redzone? Somebody tell coach Gibbs that John Riggins isn't in the back field.

[NY_Skinsfan]

what about the guy ex ref in the booth for gibbs....he shouldn't have told gibbs to challenge that last touchdown...he should be fired....

[redwagonskins]

Challenges and the clock, we have control of, the refs are part of the game and there is nothing we can do about it

this one is on the refs

I agree about 90-95% with that cuz the refs really pulled a choke job tonight, but that was a really badly called goalline series from gibbs and company.

I agree, but the refs took points off our board tonight and put them on the cowboys, can't get much worse than that if you ask me.

I'm not ready to put it all on the refs just yet. The defense gave up several big 3rd down plays which continued Dallas's drive.

take that first TD off the board and it's a Skins 'W', pretty simple

Yeah, but that's a big if. We had enough time to put points on the board. It was poor time management that lost this game.

we're in full agreement on that and whats makes it worse is that the refs f-ed it up twice on that drive with what was a fumble and the bs pass interference. but as frustrating as all this is, especially with it resulting in a loss to dallas, this team made huge improvements from the last 2 weeks. The offense preformed really well( r. brown excluded ) against one of the better defenses in the league. hopefully in the next week or 2 we'll see more sweeps and playactions(which I don't remember seeing many of yet this year) as well as a couple players getting healthy and rejoining the defense.

and just wondering, but why does the league even bother apologizing for mistakes made by officiating crews? cuz the only useful purpose I can think of for them is to use the paper its typed on as toilet paper or as Jim Mora would say they mean "diddily poo."
