It was not technically by the rules a catch. I think again the officiating was stellar for a playoff game. The call went our way. Embrace it and enjoy!!!!!

I don't know what some of these people thinking it was a td saw cuz every single replay showed the ball was shifting around all the way to the ground while being tackled before it completely popped out of his control. When catching a pass in the endzone the player must have full control of the ball and then must maintain possesion of the ball while being tackled and he didn't do either of those things. If the jerseys had been swapped I would not be mad about the call but I sure as hell would be mad about the wr dropping the tieing td. the only replay I thought might actually go the other way from what I saw was the fumble recovery for the td cuz I thought marcus had been touched down recovering the ball at the spot of the fumble but I only got to watch it replayed once before going back to work.

The call was the correct call. Mike Carey is easily the best official in the NFL and has been for several seasons now.

As for the offense I think it was partly a function of the lead. Gibbs is super conservative, especially in his own end of the field. With the way his defense was playing you force the Bucs to beat you the hard way. Some of our players need to appreciate this strategy better and not throw back across the field to a reciever who has shown no ability to make plays (Brunell). Others, while deserving credit for a special teams tackle shouldn't shank the most important punt of the year 14 yards (Frost).

Having said that, it was a win and it WAS NOT TAINTED. I think Chris Simms is a great story too but it's not our fault he kept bouncing balls off Cornelius Griffin. I felt the anouncers' sympathy for the kid left the impression that somehow it was mean of the Redskins to win.
