Replacement refs: The story the NFL wants to keep quiet

I don't think the Rams were unsportsmanlike today. They played far more physical than we did, period. A lot of that has to do with coaching, and indeed we were totally out-coached today. The Rams deserved the win...no excuses.

Well after the game, Fisher said Jackson suffered a groin injury.

I absolutely thought the Rams were unsportsmanlike today...I don't even think there was a question about it. Having said that, I don't think the replacement refs had any effect on the outcome of the game. The Rams were robbed of two TDs and assisted the Redskins on at least one scoring drive with a dubious call. The Redskins were also victims of awful calls (Fletcher's phantom late hit) and missed calls the other way, but at the end of the day, both teams suffered from the refs.
