Redskins Offense: What's the Problem?

Not using this as an excuse, but how did the line judge miss not one, but two Dallas neutral zone violations? On the 2nd missed call (3rd and 8 at the end of the 3rd quarter), Ware clearly jumped early and was in the neutral zone with the ball was snapped. Jason flipped a pass to Cooley for a minimal gain that set up the punt leading to the game winning Dallas drive. At minimum, the Skins should have had a 3rd and 3 opportunity to maintain possession. Again, not the reason we lost, but is there an easier call in the NFL than the line judge monitoring the neutral zone? I'm stunned that the LJ missed two such calls.
