Gibbs: two awful calls
 

Said he didn't want to go into too much or he'll get fined, but he basically shook his head and said two awful calls that went against them.

Interesting to note this is the second week in a row he's had less than kind of words about the officiating. Remember last week when he complained about the false start call on Samuels.

I think he should speak his mind, never mind the fine. I'll bet Snyder would jump right in and pay that fine no problem

I think there was bad calls all around. We got away with a couple, but the bad calls had a bigger effect on the Redskins.

I didn't think about it at the time, but I had to drive to Breezewood PA and back on Sunday and I saw a cop car full of referees. At the time it was just kind of humorous. Now I know where they were headed.

Too bad you didn't cut them off. Maybe some subs would have been used. If they got som local high school refs, they CERTAINLY would have done better than that sorry ass crew.

I'm glad Gibbs did say something, and that he did it with class (as usual). When a head coach goes overboard with that stuff, the media (and NFL fine) just makes him look foolish.

Yeah. He did man up and comment on the misuse of TOs and/or the challenge. I had commented earlier about the lack of imagination on offense. And many of the experts are saying the Gibbs was out coached by Parcells and his staff. I agree somewhat. But, I have come to realize that our offense is what it is... as boring as it gets. Ball control, clock manangement, smart football, and strong defense will go a long way. I'm not about to second guess the second coming. Are you?

Good. I'm glad Gibbs said somthing. Going back to last week, Dockery actually did get a false start, and they just said the wrong number. They could have made those same calls last week, that they did last night and I honestly wouldnt be too upset today. We deserved to lose against the Giants. We didnt deserve to lose last night, thats why I'm so upset about it. I'm glad Gibbs said somthing today, he should. I also like how he stuck up for some of the players ( ala Coles ) today.

Our defense wasn't electrifying, but I don't think it was boring. We made some nice long balls, Gardner made me cheer, so did Coles on the goal line. I really think in time our offense could be fun to watch! At least we're not the Ravens! 8)

I heard a clip on 980 this afternoon where Gibbs said that both of those calls were really bad.

err, I meant offense, not defense

BORING????? Wow. I agree with Daseal on this one. Was anyone else bored during that game?????? I was on my feet in front of my big screen, screaming most of the night. And my kids at the game said it was WILD - they are hoarse. I guess it takes a lot to please some folks. Or maybe I just love football more than other people? (Even after 63 years).

i definately didnt find that game boring at all...

I wasn't bored at all during the game and kept having to restrain myself from roaring out expletives (during good and bad plays) at the tv and pissing off the neighbors, lol.

The final score could have been 3-0 and I wouldn't have called last night's game boring! I would like to see the Skins' offense put up about 30 points in a game though.

No doubt the refs sucked, but they did not get stuffed after getting 1st and goal at the 1/2 yard line. We get a TD and we take the refs out of the equation.

Anyone else here think we should have gone for it on 4th down there? I said it during the game and still think that way. I know we had no points yet, but even with the 3 we got, it felt like nothing.

i thought that blind guys and deaf mutes could have officated better than the morons out there monday night did.when those guys miss or fail to call plays like that they need to be punished just like players and coaches are by the league.of all the redskins and cowboy games i have seen,that was the worst all around officiated game out of all of them.

Absolutely not. When you have 1st down on the one and can't get the TD in 3 tries, you don't throw away 4 points. But I would like to see them use Betts on short yardage plays like that. Portis is a great runner, but he is not a power back at all.

you fail three times in a row and pray you make it on a 4th try? nah, not unless you're behind and you NEED it...

From today's Washington Times:

Washington Redskins coach Joe Gibbs yesterday expressed displeasure with a pair of officiating calls in Washington's 21-18 loss to the Dallas Cowboys on Monday night, and the NFL responded by conceding its crew made two mistakes.
A club source said league officials reviewed the two plays in question — a pass interference call on Redskins cornerback Walt Harris in the first quarter, and a no-call on a deep pass to Rod Gardner in the fourth quarter. The league conceded error in both cases.

Great, tell us something we didn't already know, NFL. The whole world saw two horrible calls, the whole world except the refs on the field I guess.

I even had a cowgirl fan come into work yesterday and tell me that the refs practically gave the cowboys that td and took another potential one away from us.

at least the roids can't talk trash after this one, would have rather won it, but those were just so blatantly wrong... I didn't agree with the return fumble either, but whatever.

I agree. That call was wrong, too, but not as blatant, so it is not getting talked about. When you see someone clearly drop on a ball then there is a pileup, the guy that ends up with control gets it. Period. And to make the fumble call worse, with slo-mo Tivo, it appears he fell on the ball but never got it under control with his hands or arms. He was trying to when he was hit and it squirted out.
