All of Washington's points came as a result of questionable calls. If Portis had been ruled down, they wouldn't have gotten a field goal. If Wiley hadn't been flagged for slapping Brunell's shoulder, they wouldn't have scored their first touchdown. And if Gardner had been flagged for pushing off Reeves to make his first long catch, they wouldn't have gotten their touchdown or two-point conversion. So even if they'd gotten the PI on Newman, they'd have scored three or maybe seven points total. And even if Glenn had been called for PI, the offsetting penalties would have left us with a third down at the Redskins' 41 -- still a potential drive for a field goal or touchdown. And regardless of any of that, we did have two touchdown drives completely unaided by questionable calls.

I think that if you're saying that the ref's were playing in the skins favor I would have to question exaclty what you were seeing. I think the skins got some awful breaks on a pass interference call and a non-pass interference call. That could have made 7 more points for the skins and 7 less points for the 'girls.

In regards to the Portis call I wrote this: --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

In reference to the Portis call, now correct me if i'm wrong, but it appeared that a person made contact with Portis and then after that person's contact with Portis ended (w/o his knee ever touching the ground) THEN Portis's knee touched the ground. Now, I thought that the rule was that a player's knee can touch the ground as long as no one touches him while his knee is on the ground.

So what exactly is the rule?------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Also, I think saying that without that roughing the passer call that we wouldn't have scored is ridiculous, because in a game plays like that are always going to happen and in that instance it did. The Redskins beat the 'girls everywhere except for on the scoreboard it seems.



BTW, are you even a skins fan? (just curious)
