Dallas Game Protests

JudgeJebus · 10-25-2004, 02:31 PM

Does anyone know what ever happened with the protests that Gibbs filed with the league after the Dallas game regarding the two bad calls? Just curious.

Nothing... what were they supposed to do? Reverse the outcome of the game and give us the win? HAHAHAHAHA. Ahem.

Look, smartass, I'm aware that they wouldn't reverse the outcome of the game. I was just wondering if they ever issued a statement, which is what they typically do in response to protests.

Does it really matter to you that they admitted they were wrong? You and I know they were bad calls... so what?

Obviously I care, or else I wouldn't have asked. I agree that this isn't the most pressing issue facing the 'Skins, but it occurred to me that I never heard anything more about it, so I was curious. Silly me, I decided to ask on a Redskins discussion board. What could I have been thinking...

Other than them admitting they blew the calls, nothing ever comes of it.

This is a great thread. I love the drama. We got us some real Redskin fans here.

Easy now boys, save it for the field on Sunday!

Well, since no one else sees fit two give you a direct answer, I will.

Yes, the NFL did respond (I think it was the very next day). The admitted that both calls were incorrect - their form of an apology. I don't remember which officiating crew it was, but I sure hope Gibbs is doing everything he can to keep that crew away from any future Redskins games. Those call were so obvious and so bad, it really looked suspicious.

HG if we really want the inside scoop why don't we just ask the man himself, Sundra, I mean coach Gibb's?

Very funny. What got under Coach Gibb's skin more than the Dallas game, was the warning he received from the Cleveland stadium office during halftime concerning the communication equipment. His argument was they warned him, but didn't fix it until late in the fourth. We led at the half 10-3. The rules state that the game cannot be stopped to fix equipment between a coach and the QB. However, Gibbs argued he couldn't communicate with his staff up in the booth. Take it for what it's worth, but Cleveland has a system in place to prevent losses at home.

1st of all where is this stated in the rule book? Oh I forgot you are a expert in football knowledge.

2nd, we lost the game in Cleveland because of our inept special teams play and the failure of our offense to move the ball. Blaming it on equipment is a poor arguement for a poorly played game. I guess the system didn't work to well this weekend when the Eagles barely won, but they won.

Thanks, Hogskin. That's all I was wondering.

Yes, I remember the NFL did apologize for those two bad calls. But, I also remember that the referees failed to call a penalty when Roy Williams headbutted Rod Gardner on the last play, which would have given us potential game-winning field goal position. I read the Skins were going to file a complaint, but didn't find out the outcome. Does anyone know what happened? I remember RW getting find for headbutting Coles that same game - but didn't hear anything about the Gardner hit.
