Oh how that game pissed me off. Just like the Bucs debacle but I understand that there will be mistakes made. Hell I can find EVERY holding, pass interference, horse collar, fumble, or any call that may have been missed by a ref after I get to see it again on t.v. I know that no matter what I will watch the games but I know, excuse me, I feel that there are some fishy things that go on. I don't know if it's me but since The Danny has gotten here I feel there is some sort of vendetta against the Redskins. Not just from the media but the league as well. A lot of calls go aginst the Skins that wouldn't for another team. Then again maybe I feel that way because I am a Redskins fan, who knows ? The point is that there will always be calls that someone misses, and there will be some that I see that really weren't there. I just don't like to see my team F'd over, plain and simple.

Redskins vs Panthers '03 I think- Steven Davis' fumble I mean touchdown

Anyone remember that crap ? Anyhoo, take it easy folks !

HAIL !!!!

the calling of a tuck in the broncos game was absolutely correct. Its a retarded rule, but they called it as its written in the books. Lots of teams have lots of calls go against them. you only remember the calls againsts your team and forget the one that helped them. Seattle had plenty of complaints about refs too

unless they're perfect, no one's happy... and even that won't please everyone.

It'd be pretty ridculous to think that every official employed by the NFL is equally unbiased to all 32 NFL teams. So some shady stuff probably does occur from time to time. However, I think a lot of fans, all teams represented, feel that calls that go against their team are due to some conspiracy against them and thats just not the case. Although I'm sure someone somewhere with influence has had a bias against the Redskins, a majority of bad calls are simply that, a bad call. Nothing more, nothing less.

what the refs dont understand yet is,they should be holding onto their penalty flags and whistles and not using/blowing them until the last possible second to be 100% positive about what they are seeing.that way there is no longer "whistle has blown,play over"on fumbles,the whistle should never blow prematurely,letting the play go and THEN going back to the replay if needed.if you go to replay on all penalties,you are using the refs interpretation of a call,in theory will take longer because of the pressures to get the call right.in my opinion,replay works ok the way it is

Three suggestions:

1. Abolish replay
2. Profesionalize the Referee/Umpires jobs.
3. Avoid clock stopages except for TOs and TV TOs. Do away with the incomplete pass - clock stopages!

Speed the game up a little! (Reminds me of Lucy & Ethel in the Candy Factory!)

That I completely agree with. We all bitch about piss poor officiating, but the Leage won't do anything to rectify that situation. The Ref's need to be full time and well paid.

That Guy · 03-23-2006, 09:53 AM

I agree with making refs full time pros. i wouldn't abolish replay though and there's no way they'd want to speed the game up. a 3.5+ hour game means 3.5+ hours of commericials, which means more money for the league.

but NFL shortcut are great if you like a fast game.

NFL | Compensatory picks coming next week
Thu, 23 Mar 2006 06:43:34 -0800

PackersNews.com reports an NFL spokesman said compensatory draft picks will be awarded next week during the annual owners meetings.

yay!... or not.

PWNED · 03-23-2006, 11:24 AM

honestly i cant see having full time refs being significantly better.

PWNED · 03-23-2006, 11:24 AM

honeslty i think the advent of technology and replays has caused us, as fans, to be even more critical and see even replays the refs dont.

That Guy · 03-23-2006, 06:57 PM

they should just kill the tuck rule. it was called correctly in the bronco's game, but its a terrible rule.

dmek25 · 03-23-2006, 07:26 PM

the tuck rule is the worst rule,by far,in any sport

NFL | More proposals to be considered at the owner's meeting
Sat, 25 Mar 2006 17:40:29 -0800

Jim Thomas, of the St. Louis Post-Dispatch, reports a few more proposals that are being considered at the NFL owner's meeting next week are: A proposal prohibiting the kicking team from overloading one side of the field with more than seven players on onside kicks, more protection for the long snapper on field-goal attempts and a restriction on blocks in the back on punts. Another proposal would limit the referee's review time on replays from 90 to 60 seconds.

nothing all that interesting.

dmek25 · 03-26-2006, 08:31 AM

why not the over loading of one side of the field on field goals?
