we did'nt get a td,but we got a huge no call in dallas when todd yoder almost pulled off pacman's head on a face mask call the refs missed.
no that i cried or lost sleep over it considering all the times the refs have screwed the skins when they play dallas.

idk what they could do about the "whistle is blown" thing, you cant tell players to play after the whistle that would open up the pandora's box imo. the only accomadation i think they could make is to tell officials to err on the side of caution and not blow the whistle and let the play play out like they're supposed to do with questionable fumbles but im not if that is a viable option.

seems refs are having a tough time finding consistency with the facemask calls. since they got rid of 5 yarders everything is 15 now to allow players to initially grab the face mask then let go without a penalty. i think this was a good move because it was ridiculus to not expect inadvertant facemasks in this game of tackle the ball carrier.

the more they try to un-ref the refs the more problems were seeing. i guess like hockey a few years ago where they tried to open the game up by clamping down on holding/interference this is going to take a few seasons to find some balance and consistency.

go skins!!

I still am amazed that they blew that call, it was so obvious and one official was standing right there watching when it happened.

I mean it doesn't take away from the fact that we won, so it doesn't matter to me. Had it cost us the game, the apology wouldn't have mattered either, because we wouldn't get that 7 pts off the scoreboard. I realize that there's human error in anything we do, but it just seems like the refs are really screwing up this season

you mean the one where pacman got up and screamed "thats bullshit" in the refs face on nat'l tv? lol

game changing calls (like ones leading to TDs) should be reviewable if they are questionable. so for instance, ed hochulli's erroneous call at the chargers/broncos game should have been reviewable regardless, due to the fact that it happened towards the end and it was a game changing call.

yeah, he said Redskins Gnome
Washington Redskins

whistle has to stop the play. period. I think it sucks when they get it wrong, but its a rare occurrence.

I wouldn't mind them trying to take the college approach in which every play is reviewed. Losing a game on a bad call can cost a lot of money in the pros.

They saw a Eagle jersey illegally block a Redskin jersey, who gives a crap if they get the number right or not?
