The Officiating Sucks!!!!!

I agree that there were some bad calls but championship teams overcome bad calls and bad breaks. The skins are not a championship team right now. The skins problem is not the officiating, its their inability to score points.

Yes, you are right Irish, championship teams often do overcome bad calls, but you are also right that this team is not championship caliber and needs at least a fair playing field to get the needed confidence back so that they can become a championship team again. In the NFL, it's awfully hard to overcome a two-score swing on terrible calls, even if you ARE a championship team...almost impossible if you are a marginal team like the Skins are right now.

As for replay, why do all the officials have to be on the field? When a penalty is (or isn't) called, the officials will often have a conference before officially making the call. Why can't an official sitting in the replay booth be a part of these conversations?
I hate to blame a loss on the refs, but they basically spotted the Cowboys at least 3 points (we couldn't get in from the one, so we could have stopped them too). Then when they had a chace to redeem themselves on the Gardner play, there was no call.....complete BS!!!
