Maybe they're doing this already, of course I don't know what goes on at Redskin Park, but at the very least if we're going to get these penalties we have to learn how to recover. You can't just lay down and die because you lost five yards.

It happened yesterday and I'm sure this isn't the only time this year.

Well in that case I'm glad to hear that I wasn't totally right on that point. Though I really wish they would do a better job of getting back on their feet after these setbacks especially if we're going to get these penalities anyway.
