Redskins vs Rams pre game thread

[CRedskinsRule]

my problem with getting optimistic is the penalties. If we had played the miami game, and lost because of the 1 ST blunder, I would be more encouraged. But penalties don't just go away, and this coaching staff hasn't shown that they can clean those up.

Penalties alone will cost us games even against teams that we otherwise would have beaten (captain obvious agrees with this statement)

Penalties were the biggest killer last week imo. That one drive I think we had 4-5 consecutive penalties. Drive killers.

About 5 of those calls were absolute BS. Better refereeing will take care of some of their penalty problems.

I don't think I've.seen.that happen in the last fucking.decade... The refs are god.awful across the league, but.seem to.screw us especially. And... Ironically enough help the.cowboys win games, especially. Smfh

Really? First why does it seem a lot of fans think the refs are screwing their team? I am sure you realize most calls are made once at full speed at field level, not watching a slow motion reply shot from above field level that
you see sitting on your couch. Also we have 7 average Joes watching 22
very fast and or large men at field level (Lots of obstructed views). Refs are graded weekly if anyone was showing bias they would be suspended
and or fired quickly. It is a well paying part time job so they get the cream of the crop. I refereed HS passing league games when playing college football. I was as big and fast as the guys I was officiating and it was 7 on 7 on a full
sized field. Plenty of times on PI calls I wish I could have watched a replay,
only the blatant ones are obvious. Some of those DBs are real sneaky how
they can tug on a jersey at the same time they block your view.

One suggestion I heard was to hire refs from the college players that dont make the NFL. I am not sure that's a perfect solution but I don't think its a bad idea either.
