Gibbs Fined

GoSkins! · 10-18-2005, 08:37 PM

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.

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.

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

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.

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.
