1991 Redskins 20th Anniversary

[skinsguy]

You know, I was watching Super Bowl 22 today, and realized that in today's NFL, the Redskins would have gotten called many times for roughing the passer, as well as a few personal foul calls on a defenseless receiver. I also saw a pass from Rypien to Byner that would have been called incomplete. Couple that with the non-call on the pass interference toward the end of the first half, and that game would have been A LOT closer than what it was.

My apologies if this was brought up earlier in the thread, but it kind of makes me chuckle a bit by how strict the officials call games now - at least on the Redskins. You can definitely tell a HUGE difference in how much the officials are trying to protect the players nowadays.
