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.
