One Decision Overlooked!

The one thing that eats away at me which I think a bunch of people overlooked. The Pass to Cooley on 3rd and 7. He clearly got within a yard of the first down, but they gave a horrible spot. Now I understand if you don't want to challenge becuase you might risk a timeout. But why in the World do you call a Timeout instead of Challenge? Make no sense in the World. You might get the extra yard and a free timeout. What is the worst that will happen you lose a timeout, well you just freakin called one instead. Absolutely morronic, that just make me wonder what in the world is going on.

I'm not questioning the play calling or game plan because I thought it was great, we just didn't execute in critical situations.

Also second straight time Thrash gets called for Garabge that could have changed a game.

I mentioned the Cooley spot on an earlier thread. It should have been 4th and about half a yard instead of 4th and 1 1/2. I totally agree that Gibbs and our 20 other coaches screwed up that none of them saw fit to push for a challenge. This referee crew was perhaps the worst we saw all season. They missed obvious calls both ways (Bubba Franks should have had a TD with a force out after the Portis fumble).

I don't think that was a force out, the CB clearly has to prevent you from coming down in bounds, he could have still got a toe in and didn't so it was the right call.

The worst call of the Game was on Thrash what was he suppose to Do Woodson was trying to tackle him and he was trying to get free, absoultely game changing horrible call.

I don't fault the reverse call, remember sometimes on a wet field the defense goes one way a slips then he is off to the races, they just played it well.

I totally agree on the ridiculous double call on Thrash and Woodson. Woodson was holding Thrash with BOTH hands TEN yards downfield, and the ref also calls Thrash for PI just for breaking free??? That was a huge call that prevented the Skins from probably going up by 10 or 14 points early in the 2nd half.

I still maintain my stance against the reverse - the most likely guy to slip on a wet field when the reverse is called is the ball carrier, because he's going full speed and has to make the hardest cut to turn the ball upfield. Lastly, I hate it when Saunders has to revert to trickery when we're driving with momentum.

Of course had it worked we'd all be hailing Saunders as a genius for calling a play nobody would have expected.

Exactly. People need to lay off the hate. If our players executed we would have won the game. Easily. Stop finding easy excuses people.
