Seriously. No excuse for the fumble or bobble or whatever in the first place.

Well if we are being critical. The original RG wouldn't of even been run down by JPP with 15yds of space. He would of walked in to the endzone. Sadly i feel that RG3 will never come back

Or, when a guy bobbles the ball in his hands, doesn't even fumble it, and replay shows he got control of it with both hands again before it broke the plane of the goal line, it's called a touchdown like it should have been.

Oh wait, we're the Redskins. Nevermind.

If there were no bobble, which is the proper way to do it, the rest of your post does not matter.

There are several ways that the disputed touchdown was a clusterfudge:

1) No bobble, no fumble accusation
2) Poor clock management by RGIII
3) Should have scored the play before by throwing a different pass to Reed

Yet, for a 3-11 team, we blame the refs, not the 3-11 players.

You think you, or most nfl qbs, could avoid bobbling the ball when hit on the arm by an nfl d player?

Griffin made a great play. Had control with two hands on the ball when he broke the plane of the goal line with the ball as a runner.

The excuses being made here for a bad call by the officials are nauseating.

i think it is beyond the point of debate that the call was in fact correct.

looking at the replay on the video above, i dont think JPP touches the ball or his right hand. it looks like RG3 just looses his grip as he starts to dive in the air.

just another awkward result for an awkward player.

really wish the TD had stood. it may have been the rallying cry we so desperately need. it would have boosted RG3s confidence so much.

we just cant get out of our own way right now.

Might be a bad rule, but it was the right call

Because he left his feet?

His arm got jostled if you look at the replay

Ive seen waitresses get jostled harder than that and hold their trays.
