Exactly Matty. The calls were a factor in the game and were a main factor in deciding the game. However, the Bucs had a starter who was 1-3 for his career as a starter going up against what was supposed to be a top defense. They moved the ball almost at will against the #1 D in the league and found a way to lose because they left the door open and dug a hole early. If not for the turnovers in the first half this game doesn't come down to a 2 point conversion play. If not for poor defense we probably blow Tampa out. This is a game that, on paper, the Skins should have dominated and they let it come down to the wire. They left the door open and the Bucs took advantage, something the Skins didn't do until the second half. This game should have never been this close and to blame the refs 100% would be an act of cowardice.
