The NFL is against the Redskins, it's not an excuse its a fact. We suck either way but there is no sugar coating that

I'm not much into conspiracy theories against the Redskins by the league...but this certainly doesn't help.

Lol. The Universal constants of The Warpath

1.Conspiracy theories abound
2. Schneed will insult someone's intelligence on every thread
3. Chico will drop an F bomb on every thread
4. After every loss Punch will vow never to watch the Redskins play again

Good article where JP Finley interviews Gruden that touches on many of the issues from the past week.

Thanks for sharing the article. I can understand where Gruden was thinking when he decided to keep Peterson inactive for the game now after he pointed out how he believes it is more important to have a 3rd RB who can play special team to help contain Sproles. Not saying that I agree with the move, but I'm not holding it against Gruden.

I would have loved if JP asked the "lack of communication" on defense that lead to the quick scores in the 3rd and how they are going to prevent explosive teams from exploiting that in future games.

This whole thing about Moses being targeted by the league is just dumb. Do your job better. Stop with the loser talk. Point the finger at yourself first.

went to TMZ lol, its fine to disagree, i dont really care. I think you over estimate the depth of so called conspiracy. Its easy why they'd keep quiet, they get paid way too much already to be part time employees, and thats what they are, employees. Mo Money, Mo Problems, for us on gameday.

It's already a league wide mandate that no one is to throw a flag when Ryan Kerrigan gets choke slammed, yet i see flags on every other screen at the bar whilst watching on Sundays for similar infractions. They call it the way they call it for a reason, why we dont KNOW FOR SURE what that reason is - is beyond our pay grade as fans. Its pretty simple in the end, the official have and always will treat this team like shit and make it look they are not guilty of favoritism.

Every fan base thinks the league is out to get them and every sports writer is biased against them

Just look at the Saints home crowd last week with about half the crowd wearing ref shirts

And I'm like, "Honey, he's the ball carrier, I think it's okay this time."

thus the difference between new to watching football and watching the evolution of the game, league and the way its being officiated for almost 30 years.

I don't believe the officials are out to get the Redskins. Jay Gruden's teams are generally undisciplined, with enough penalties to get into the top 25% of the most penalized teams in the NFL in 2018. Maybe it's just the style of the team's playcalling, or the way he addresses penalty issues with players after the game; or keeping high penalty players like Morgan Moses in the game.

I don't think its luck. Highly disciplined teams like the Patriots are low in penalties on 2018.
