Clealy Taylor is one getting double standarded(nice new word there huh?).

ABC said the ejection was by rule for spitting - Carey didn't have a choice if he called unsportsmanlike for Taylor spitting on Pittman. Nonetheless, he should have called an offsetting unsportsmanlike on Pittman for slapping Taylor. That's BS.

Don't forget this isn't the first time Taylor has spat on an opponent, ask T.J. Houshmanzadeh.

skinsttw · 01-07-2006, 08:25 PM

At least Taylor didn't bang his head against a wall or something crazy like that.

PorterHouse · 01-07-2006, 08:47 PM

They said after the game he wont be suspended for it but will be fined for it. Micheal"the Coke head" Irving was hatin on us sayin he should be suspended for next weeks game. He's just mad cause he was the only one that picked the Bucs to win.

Hey guys I feel good that the skins won but, not great like I should. I don't like the fact that the win was tainted with controversy. I felt that the buc receiver caught that ball in the end-zone while having possesion and both feet down, then his knee went down while still having control. That call may have been our make-up call from the last time these teams met, but I doubt it. It just takes away from our chance to share in a little "revenge" or "just desserts" when our team wins like that. Our offense was terrible, and our defense gets all of the credit for this win. Hopefully Gibbs will have new and innovative was for the offense to play like a like an offense that is in the playoffs. This team deserved a win but, not this type of win. Go skins!

There are no 'buts' following a playoff win.

Just enjoy it.

Amen! It wasn't pretty, but just imagine if we show up to Seattle with some sort of offense! The more I think about the win, the more proud I am we won in spite of that we only got 122 yards of offense. You have to have a decent team to win despite those stats.

We're the opposite of that Rams team that had no defense a few years back, but could score at will.

SmootSmack · 01-07-2006, 11:04 PM

They said this was the worst offensive performance by a winning team in the playoffs since the Ravens exactly five years ago to the day, and all I could think was...well the Ravens won the Super Bowl that year

BigSKINBauer · 01-07-2006, 10:14 PM

WOoooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo MOTHER ****ER woooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo ALIVE O WE ARE ALIVE1!!!!! on to the seahags. Like santana would say "lets get crunk" wooooooooooooooooooooo

LBrown43 · 01-07-2006, 11:14 PM

It was not technically by the rules a catch. I think again the officiating was stellar for a playoff game. The call went our way. Embrace it and enjoy!!!!!

skinsfanthru&thru · 01-07-2006, 11:22 PM

I don't know what some of these people thinking it was a td saw cuz every single replay showed the ball was shifting around all the way to the ground while being tackled before it completely popped out of his control. When catching a pass in the endzone the player must have full control of the ball and then must maintain possesion of the ball while being tackled and he didn't do either of those things. If the jerseys had been swapped I would not be mad about the call but I sure as hell would be mad about the wr dropping the tieing td. the only replay I thought might actually go the other way from what I saw was the fumble recovery for the td cuz I thought marcus had been touched down recovering the ball at the spot of the fumble but I only got to watch it replayed once before going back to work.

70Chip · 01-07-2006, 11:27 PM

The call was the correct call. Mike Carey is easily the best official in the NFL and has been for several seasons now.

As for the offense I think it was partly a function of the lead. Gibbs is super conservative, especially in his own end of the field. With the way his defense was playing you force the Bucs to beat you the hard way. Some of our players need to appreciate this strategy better and not throw back across the field to a reciever who has shown no ability to make plays (Brunell). Others, while deserving credit for a special teams tackle shouldn't shank the most important punt of the year 14 yards (Frost).

Having said that, it was a win and it WAS NOT TAINTED. I think Chris Simms is a great story too but it's not our fault he kept bouncing balls off Cornelius Griffin. I felt the anouncers' sympathy for the kid left the impression that somehow it was mean of the Redskins to win.

skinsguy · 01-08-2006, 12:41 AM

I'm proud of this team! I know they'll do their very best next weekend, but I am just happy they made it to the playoffs and advanced. We've beaten the Seahawks before and I think we'll put up a good fight against them.

railcon56 · 01-08-2006, 12:52 AM

A WIN IS A WIN.........i'LL TAKE IT ... CONGRATS ALL SKINS FANS!!!

Warpath · 01-08-2006, 01:04 AM

Thank you Defense for once again letting the offense to play another game! Without you we would be home on the couch watching the playoffs with the cowboys and eagles. Thanks again Gregg Williams!
I cannot believe we just showed up the number 1 Defense by getting more TDs and turnovers than they could ever dream of. Chris Simms played extremely well for a rookie. Watchout for this kid in the future. Go skins! I can't wait to get another shot at Seattle who we did get a w for earlier in the season but probably did actually get beat by. I can't wait to get another shot at containing, NO STOPPING Mr MVP Sean Alexander. Goodluck Sean, you'll need it. Skins 28, 'Hawks 24.
