What I don't understand is why the ref didn't just tell him when he called the timeout that he couldn't do it?

For one thing, it's not the referees job to explain the rules to a coach. Some refs do, some don't, but they are not required to. And in all honesty, Gibbs [B]CAN [/B]call back-to-back timeouts to ice the kicker, and he did, and was penalized for it in accordance with the rules. As someone said earlier - Rookie mistake.

---but---

Didt hat cost the team the game? No, not even close, that was just the final mistake of a game that was lost late in the 3rd quarter when the Skins offense shut down, again, and put the burden of winning on the shoulders of the defense and special teams. With about 4 minutes to go and the score 16-14, I turned to my friend (a Bills fan, actually from Buffalo too!) and said, "Don't worry, you will get the ball back at least one more time." Then I watched, somewhat bewildered, as a team that had been averaging a whopping 2 yds per carry, ran the ball on three straight plays, failed to get a first down (getting even 1 would have ended the game), then headed off the field to force the special teams and defense to not lose the game. I was not surprised in the least to see a ROOKIE quarterback, playing on the road, in the rain, move the ball down the field and into field goal range against a defense that was applying ZERO pressure on him.
The sad reality is that Redskins are not a very good football team. Jason Campbell may have potential, but presently he is a turnover machine (Dave Krieg might be worried that his NFL record for most fumbles is in jeopardy!). Yeah Yeah Yeah, he is in his first year as a starter, blah blah blah only 19 starts, yadda yadda yadda give him some more time - STUFF IT Skins apologists. We are all in love with a very mediocre football team that is not really showing signs of getting better.

I just don't understand what your argument is.

32 year old internet thugs are hilarious. Punctuation and spelling owns you. Obviously you don't know all that much about football because though you claim your knowledge out shines all you have yet to make one valid point nor have you used one term that could be considered any type of football vocabulary.:spank:


To the real skins fans: i was watching the game yesterday and felt so bad that you could not pull out the win. Then, to see my beloved Broncos lose to the raiders and basically put us out of the wildcard picture really crushed me. Well, i guess its mock draft time.


P.S: i am watching the ST funeral service now, very very nice/classy ceremony.:goodjob:

Re: Who called the 2nd timeout?
 

Under NFL rules, the same team cannot call consecutive timeouts. If the officials incorrectly acknowledge the consecutive timeout, the clock is immediately started and the timeout negated. There is no penalty for this act, unless the purpose of the second timeout is to startle and cause a false start by the offensive team. In this situation, an unsportsmanlike conduct foul could be called on the defensive team. Under college rules, consecutive team timeouts are legal, and a team could call all of the team timeouts in succession.

When the penalty was called I googled this immediately. This is in reference to a Colts-Bears game in 2005 when the Bears tried to call 2 timeouts in a row. Seems the unsportsmanlike conduct call is a judgment call. Its not an unsportsmanlike penalty for trying to call a timeout you don't have, so this ruling is baffling to me.

The rule was amended following the 2005 season to include an unsportsmanlike conduct penalty for calling consecutive timeouts to try to "ice" the kicker.

So you spend some 20+ years as a coach in the NFL and all you get is a slap on the wrist, in the past year and a half the rule changes but you have a mental lapse and blow it. It is what it is.

Re: Who called the 2nd timeout?
 

I don't understand why everybody is always looking for someone to blame. Lindell may have hit that field goal anyway from 51 yards. If the offensive line didn't have that false start on 4th and less than a yard...if they didn't give up a safety...if Campbell (who takes the weight of the world on his shoulders every game) didn't throw that interception...if, if, if. Today is a day of mourning, not of blame.

I agree. Although you'll find that most people don't look for someone to blame here. They already know who to blame, they just look for new ways to blame him.
