Just plain ugly

The Redskins put it right there on the Baltimore film for Miami to see. Maybe next time Gibbs should have the staff put a message on the Jumbo-tron: "We're going to try to draw you offsides now, be careful."

Well, there were two problems.
1- Yoder was set, meaning he needs to back up and then go into motion, not just decide to go lateral at any moment.
2- Sellers and Yoder were in motion, which is illegal.

Either way, the refs got it right, and I'm glad they did cause we should have gone for the FG at that point, not give up that good positioning if we didn't make the first.
